Weimer BJiscusses
Engineering Jobs
Industry expects well trained
technicians from engineering and
technical schools, but the ability
to meet increasingly difficult
problems of human relations is
equally important in the eyes of
employers, Fred Wehmer said at
the annual engineering and archi
tecture convocation Wednesday.
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. "The

Golden Rule still applies in hu
man relations," he said. 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

have a set up for receiving sal

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. Phi Beli
Kappa and Sigma Xi honoraries
and a captain of the Candidate
Officers association.

LAWYER SCHOLARAUTHOR . . . Dean Emeritus Roscoe
Pound of the Harvard university law school has recently published

views toward the present judicial trends. The 81-year-old sc'iolar

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.

annual presentation of Handel's
"Messiah. The first time it
was given at the University was
in 1901 under the direction of
M. Carrie Belle Raymond, for
whom Raymond hall is named.
Mrs. Raymond directed the
chorus until 1927, when Howard
Kirkpa trick took over. In 1939,
Professor Westbrook succeeded
Kirkpatrick. Since 1946, when
David Foltz came to the Univer

The class councils will be es
