Wehmer is an industrial en fin eer of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing company. With a background of 25 years engineering experience he out lined the qualities necessary for success in modern industry. "Most engineering work today is produced in teams," he said, "and this makes it necessary for engineers to be able to work with others and makes it imperative that they read well and write good reports." Wehmer told the engineers to take an interest in professional societies and civic affairs. "En gineers should have a real desire to do things," he said. They should be willing to accept re sponsibility and direct . other people, he said. Engineers have to meet prob lems in human relations, he said, and they must realize that different people require differ ent methods of approach.

He also told engineers to remember that "people do the things they like to do much better than the things they have to do." If an engineer finds himself in "the wrong spot" he should not hesitate to change within the com pany or to change companies if necessary, Wehmer said. In return for the services of their employees. Wehmer said in dustry should give adequate work ing quarters and tools; should have a set up for receiving sal aries; should provide the oppor tunity for men to continue in creasing their knowledge.

Five-Degree University Grad . . . POUND WRITES NEW BOOK The latest book written by Dr. Roscoe Pound, Lincoln-born Univ ersity graduate and dean emeritus of Harvard Law school, has been reviewed in the current Time Magazine. In the book, "Justice According to the Law," Pound takes a stand against his associates who are "undermining the belief in the justice of the courts." He says the realists in the courtroom challenge the worth.! of any standard except experi ence. "But," he says, "the main body of precepts speaks alike no matter what individual social or economic- backgrounds are involved." He is worried because "som.. today say that law is power where we used to think of it as a re straint upon power." He wants to know what ha happened to the tradition and Ideal established by our nineteenth-century judges. Pound, whom Time calls "th dean of U.S. legal scholars," has i long list of titles and degrees. H is the only man with five degree from the University. Beside: these,' he has degrees from sever other schools.- From 1903 to 1907, Pound was dean of law at the University. He was professor of law at North western university and the Univ ersity of Chicago before serving at the Harvard Law school for 20 years. Besides his academic work, he was one of 11 members of former President Herbert Hoov er's law enforcement commis sion. He also spent ten years in China, helping to reorganize the Judicial system. As an undergraduate at the University, Pound vas a member of Innocents society.

Dean Emeritus Roscoe Pound of the Harvard university law school has recently published a book, "Justice According to the Law" in which he presents his views toward the present judicial trends.

Members of the committee are: Frank Sibert, Farmers Fair Board president; Howard Dun can, Engineer Exec board presi dent; Bob Reichenbach, College Days general chairman; Miriam Willy, and Sharon Fritzler, judi ciary committee members. "The committee will also make recommendations as to the advis ability of a constitution for College Days at the present time," Miss Willey said. This committee will work with the College Day faculty advisor and another faculty member. The action resulted from a sug gestion put forth by the engineers at the Council meetmg. Four main objections of the Engineers to Col lege Days are the purposes of the organization, the methods and manner of carrying out these methods, organization of the Col lege Days board and the carnival atmosphere instead of an aca demic atmosphere which they feel prevails now. The purpose of College Days is to "provide high school stu dents with a complete picture of college life with emphasis on the educational side," Reichenbach said. He also stated the College Days board has no objection to a constitution for the organiza tion in the future. . During further Council busi- Lewis and organist is Myron Roberts.
