On Watersheds
"The price of one large flood
could easily pay for the forma
tion of a watershed association
and the completion of a conser
vation project."
This was the view expressed
ay ueo oeier, executive secre-
tary of the Salt-Wahoo water -
shed association, when he sooke
to the Tri-K club, an agronomy
group, Thursday night.
The formation of watershed
associations in Nebraska, Geier The medical school has sent let

There would be on-the-land
water conservation, with the
controlling of run-off water,

moisture would remain in the

The second accomplishment
of watershed associations would
be errosion control. This would
protect valuable topsoil and pre

"Professor, you ain't right!"
On the second day ot the som
stcr, with those words, Robert
Welnstein introduced himself to
his new law instructor.
Bob is the most unforgettable
ntudont of that instructor, Fred
crick K. Beutel, professor of law.
On the first duy in class, Beutel
hud quoted a case from a law
text. The next day, Bob came to
class and proved the text wrong.
Bob was the son of an immi
grant family thut settled In New
Orleans, La. Living in one oi the
poorer sections of town, Bob re
ceived a mediocre education. He
was poorly equipped to tuke on
law school work.
When he first entered Tulane
university, he could not even
write well. In his first year he
had quite a bit of difficulty with
hi work but managed to rate in
about the middle of his class. In

possible honors.
Beutel suid thut he hus never
known a harder worked than Bob.
Bob would lot nothing stop him
In currying out his work. As far
as his classmates were concerned,
they all huted him. That is, all
but one. It was not until his sen
ior year thut he became at all
popular with the rest of the stu
dents. Bob hated anything that would
force him to waste time. In his
senior year, he needed credit In
a course in orgunic chemistry to
receive his A.B. degree. ,
After attending a few lectures,
he discovered thut everything the
chemistry instructor stated wbs
tuken directly from a few books
In the library. So Bob went to
Beutel and told him thut it would
be a waste of time to go to the
lectures, i Beutel tried to talk Bob
Into attending the chemistry

made his decision.

Exhibit to Show!
At Morrill Hall
An exhibition designed and as
sembled by a Minneapolis art
center which has been touring
the country will be shown at the
University art galleries at Morrill
hall, beginning Wednesday, April
The exhibition, entitled "A
New Direction in Intaglia," is
due largely to the genius and
teacning oi wiauncio oi lowa City,
la. The former Argentine artist
came, to the -em a
Guggenheim fellowship. After his
study, he was appointed a visit
ing lecturer at the University of
Iowa where he has remained
since as a professor of art and
head of an extensive graphics
workshop.
Mr. Lasensky's importance is
not based only on his artistic
ability but on those unusual qual
ities of his teaching. Since he
started teaching at Iowa, students
from all over the country have
come to study under him. Many
of his former students are now
art instructors and are promot
ing his graphic techniques.
The exhibition demonstrates the
effectiveness of his teaching. It
consists of a large number of
prints and the copper plates from
which they were made. Of the 84
items which will be shown, 54
are by students, Lasensky him
self being represented by nineteen
prints.
The show will continue through
May 6 and will provide the sub
ject for the regular ISunaSv 'gaT1
lery talks on April 22 and May
6. The first of these talks will be
given by Rudolph Pozatti of the
University art department and he
will demonstrate and discuss the
importance of print-making tools,
the metal plates and inks.

working an experiment.
When the time for the first
chemistry exam drew near, the
chemistry Instructor had a talk
with Beutel. He told Beutel, "One
of your law boys is going to
flunk orgunic chemistry." He
added thut Bob had not been at
tending lectures and that abso
lutly no one would be able to
pass one of his examinations with
out attending his lectures. But
Beutel knew Bob and bet the
Instructor a chicken dinner, or
something of the sort, that Bob
would puss the exam.
The next duy, a slightly dum
founded chemistry professor in
formed Beutel thut Bob hud earn
ed a 95 on the exum. But he-assured
Beutel thut Bob could not
possibly pass the lub exam with
out actually working the weekly
experiments. Beutel bet the
chemistry instructor another din
ner. Bob passed the lab exam with
a sensutlonul 90. And he luter
pnssed the flnHl exam in flying
colors.

T" ' Grinnell President
Dr. Stevens has "been president
of Grinnell since 1940. Before that
he served as professor of applied
psychology and later as Dean of
the University College of North
western University. His work as
an arbitrator in industrial dis
putes has won him wide recogni
tion .-
Recently Dr. Stevens was ap
pointed by President Truman to
the Board of Governors of the
United States Military Academy.
Prior to his appointment, he
was adviser to the Chicago Crime
Commission and chairman of the
city-wide Commission on Indus-'
trial Relations. Since 1934, he has:
been a partner in the Personnel!
Institute, one of the largest or-j
ganizations in the field of per-j
sonnel consultation to business
and industry.
Honorary Degrees
His work in education has been
recognized through honorary
'sional . organizations and through
memberships in leading profea
an honorary LL.D., conferred on
him by Carleton College, North-
field, Minnesota.
Dr. Stevens received his bache
lor's degree from Wesleyan Uni
versity at Middletown, Connecti
cut, and did graduate work at
Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. He
studied theology at Garret Bibli
cal Institute and Theologicul
Seminary of the Methodist
Church and received his Doctor

In order to receive credit for that
course. With a week left in the
semester, the instructor assigned
Bob an experiment which could
not possioly be finished In less
than 36 hours of work in the lub.
Since the lub was open for only
a limited time each day, the
chemistry instructor figured that
Bob could not possibly work the
experiment and would therefore
be forced to take the course over
again but in the conventional
manner.
This, however, did not faze
Bob. He borrowed the key to the
lub from a janitor and worked
36 hours straight and finished the
experiment three days before the
deadline. So the instructor was
forced to give him credit in the
course. Beutel, though, said he
does suggest anyone to follow
Bob's unusuul methods.
The night watchman at the law
library used to put Bob out at
2 a.m. nearly every morning of
the week. After a while, Bob
made a big issue out of the af
fuirs. Later, because oi Bob, the
school authorities passed a rule
thut the llbrury wub to be left
open to luw students at all times.

E Week to Display Mechanical
Project, Smoke Tunnel, during
One of the exhibits that
itors will be able to see during
College Days is a mechanical en

A smoke tunnel was built by
Keith Cossart and John Nixon
during the past two years. Cossart
will give a demonstration of the
project in the mechanical en
gineering building.
A smoke tunnel is used to
study the principles of fluid
flow. It if widely used in hy
draulics, aeronautics and air con
ditioning. Tunnel Redesigned
By experimentation and trial
and error the tunnel has been
completely redesigned from the
original conception. . The major
one "but a terrific worker with
a prodigious ability to keep work
ing." Bob mude the law review in
his second year in law school. He
wus easily the most outstanding
mun on the review and he wrote
more for it than anyone else.
As for the present, he is prac
ticing law in New Orleans. Sev
eral years before this, he served
as an assistant to the federal dis
trict attorney in that -city.
Beutel said that he will never
forget Bob's hard work or his
ublllty for accomplishing the
nearly impossible. Just as an
added -note: The dean of the Tu
lane law school once proposed
a problem which he thought
would be neurly Impossible for
any student to solve. The prob
lem concerned a fallacy in a very
obscure luw case.
In order to find the solution,
a student would have to read the
case and all of the other cbscf
cited in the case And in addition
read all of the cases sighted in
those secondury cuscs.
The studonts were given three
weeks to come as nmir as thry
could to the solution. No one but
Bob succeeded. And he handed in
the correct answer In less than a
week.
Bob is certainly unforgettable.
