floor, clutching his stomach. Dean
Beutel confiscated a 22 caliber,
eight-shot revolver, from which
three bullets had been fired.
Beyond this, reliable facts which
could not be obtained because of
the clashing of witnesses' testi
monies.
Such was the scene after Dean
Beautel's "Problems of Proof"
class Wednesday. The shooting
was staged in preparation for the
'Problems of Proof," labratory
mock trial, in which pre-law
students will -be the jurors.
Witnesses showed great dif
ferences of opinion as to what
had actually happened in the com
motion. One of the students of
the class, who declined to give
his name, said: "Wenke and Run
dle quarreled yesterday. When
Dean Beutel asked him a question,
Rundle replied, 'that's Stupe
Wenke's field.' Wenke, who ap
peared very drunk, said, 'kiss my
foot.' Rundle was about to enter
battle, bue was held back by
several students, until class was
interrupted by the bell.
"Wenke immediately left cla?s,
and got a whiskey bottle from the
clubroom. When Rundle came out
of class, Wenke went for him, just
outside room 202. After Wenke
shoved him. Rundle opened his
brief case, pulled out a gun, and
shot three times. Wenke slumped
to the floor. Rundle was over
powered, his gun taken away, and
he was carried away.
Another anonymous witness
statH "In the dean's class Tues
day afternoon, Wenke and Rundle
entered class arguing over wenke s
article for the Law Keview, wnicn
Rundle refused to publish."
"Later that afternoon, Wenke
attended the Law Review meeting,
and expressed bitterness because
of Rundles not accepting nis
article."
Wednesday morning, Wenke
came to school showing the enecis
of a hangover. Near the end of
the "Problems of Proof class the
dean called on Rundle. Rundle re
ferred to 'that stupe Wenke."
thereupon, Wenke shouted back
kiss my foot, Rundle, you wise
acre.' Rundle was perturbed. He
said something to the effect of
'Now you're going to get ' ran
toward Wenke, but was stopped
by other students. The dean sana
I want to see you, Rundle, and
stopped the class."
"Outside the classroom, Wenke
started stalking Rundle. He pushed

claimed that Wenke had been shot
in the leg by Richard Lee.
The staging of this shooting was
complicated in several ways. The
students, of course, thought every
thing was on the level. One of

clubroom before the shooting, and

Mrs. Jeanette Stahl was
named president, succeeding Mrs.

historian. They succeed Mrs.
Florence Bleyhl, and Mrs. Eletha
Zimmerman, vice president and

The group meets every other

Ag Union.
What does Leap Year mean to
you?
This question was put ti a few
students yesterday in an informal
poll. Some interesting answers
were:
Herb Denenberg, Omaha: "Girls
never bother me any year!"
Eugene Berman, Holyoke, Mass:
"Leap Year means that the lib
eral voters must leap to defeat
Republicans and Reactionary
Democrats."
Miss Roy Chelf, Denver, Colo.:
"Ha ha ha ha etc."
An interesting fact was uncov
ered by one student who stated
that every four years the differ
ence between the 365 day year
and a 365.2422 day year can be
roughly compensated for by add
ing one whole day every 4 years.
Of course after a ctiuple thou
sand years there might be two
leap years in a row.
This is a remote problem con
cerning all who are living 2000
years from now, so why worry?
