MEADOWS SPEAKS
'Business
Leadership
Needs Skill'
Unless business management in
the modern world becomes a pro
fessional skill, business leadership
cultivates the seeds of its own
destruction, Paul Meadows, asso
ciate professor of sociology, re
cently told a meeting of Alpha
Kappa Psi, business administra
tion professional fraternity.
"Every work plant has a bu
reaucratic structure," he said.
"Its intricacies, difficulties and
possibilities must be studied
with as much care as we have
previously studied the technol
ogy and economics of enter
prise." Not everyone can become a
business manager, Meadows said.
Trained insights, understanding
and skills are required, he added.
He recommended a college cur
riculum combining law, psychol
ogy, and business with the goal
"of good management.

Four 'Dishonest' Students
By BEU BEUTEL
Staff Writer
"The results of the lie-detector
tests show that three students,
Bryce Crawford, Lloyd Cobb and
Bill Berquist, are definitely lying,
and that the testimony of Vera
Larsen is questionable," said Sgt.
Robert Nichols, head of the state
police criminal laboratory Tues
day morning.
Standing in front of a black
board scotch-taped with eight lie
detector charts, Sergeant Nichols
pointed out how each of the thin
red lines indicated the false re
sponses of four students. They
had been tested for the fake rob
bery of $30 from the Law school
executive office three weeks ago.
He showed that the testimony
of Vera Larsen, a jurisprudence
student who was around the
office during the time the
money disappeared, was ques
tionable. The two lines indicat
ing breathing and blood pres
sure on her chart were too
weak to indicate definite guilt.
After Sergeant Nichols finished
his explanation, Dr. Frederick
Beutel, professor of the jurispru
dence class which conducted the
experiment, explained the actual
facts of the case.
Lloyd Cobb, Bryce Craw
ford, and another student, Rob
ert Moodie who had not been
tested, had each taken some
of the money at different times,
he said. Bill Berjulst, whom the
detector had shown to be lying,
was an accessory to the case, he
said.
The only questionable
mony was that of
