VAUGHN R. WALKER The story of my birth, which is pretty good as a whodunit, is set in downstate Illinois where my family has operated a small still since the repeal of the Corn Laws. After a brief stab at economics at Michigan and Cal Qmy analysis was marginalD, I was initiated in law at the University of Chicago, where Professor Kalven taught us the best juries are intelligent, well-educated and just a little drunk. With that happy condition in mind, I came to Stanford. The stay here now seems too brief and with' the coming dignity of a Juris Doctor, I feel a little like the gambler on his way to the race track who said: HI certainly hope to split even today, I need the money. But there is no danger of my taking the degree seriously after having asked Professor Williams if he had read my last exam and he said: I hope so. GEORGE B. WEIKSNER, JR. George B. Weiksner, Jr., American capitalist, was born in Mystic, Connecticut, on Dec. 29, 1805. He worked as a carpenter in New York City for a time and then built canal-boats and locks for the Lehigh Coal SL Navigation Company, probably the first shippers to New York. Between 1852 and 1855 a railway line was built for the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, largely by Weiksner's personal credit, from Mauch Chunk to Easton. We built the extension of the line into the Susquehanna Valley and thence to connect with the Eire Railway. ln 1841 and 1842 he was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representativesg in 1843-1848 was county judge of Carbon Countyg in 1853-57 was a Democratic member of the national House of Representatives. In 1865 he gave money and land in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, for a technical schoolg Weiksner Hall, of Lehigh University, was completed in 1869g he erected a memorial library building in 1877, and the university, by his will, received nearly one third of his estate. He died in Philadelphia on May 17, 1879.

ERNEST NORTON TOOBY A carrot? I didn't get it. You know, she said brightly, the carrot .... If you want the goat to pull the cart, but he doesn't want to, you hold a carrot out in front of him. He tries to reach the carrot because he does want it. In doing so he pulls the cart,Ijf she said with a wink, if you've attached the carrot to the cart. I must have seemed a little stupid to her .... She tried to explain. Teaching these children is like training animals. For each task you want them to do, you must offer them a carrot. You mean, I finally said, you try to get the goat to pull the cart without his realizing it. That is, the goat actually does what you want him to do, but all the time he thinks he's just trying to get the carrot. He doesn't realize heis pulling the cart. Not only that, but pulling the cart isn't something that any goat, any normal goat, ever wants to do, but . . . I think you're trying to make it complicated again, she said, frowning. You mean, I tried again, to get the students to do the assignment because of some reward heis going to get, not because he realizes that the assignment is valuable or interesting to him. You mean, the assign- ment itself canit be the carrot . . . She felt happier. That's it, she said. J. HERNDON, The Way it Spozed To be 1 12 fBantam ed. 19691 . . . and then, there's the stick BETTY TUCKER Betty was born on V-E Day, May 7, 1945, in Fort Worth, Texas. She was graduated from big D's Thomas Jefferson High School in 1962, having been a pom-pom girl and cheerleader and participated in student government. At Duke University, which she attended through the generosity of her Uncle Arnold, she worked for the Rhine Institute, served on the class council, was a cheerleader, associated with Tri-Delt sorority, and achieved distinction in the business administration major, graduating cum laude. Having originally come to Stanford on a Judge Treisman scholarship and with intentions of raising eyebrows, she settled down to serious booking only after her marriage to Eric Tucker. Eventually she became President of the Law Review and worked on the Yearbook. After grad- uation she plans to associate with the Dallas firm of Bain, Taylor, Doud, Fine and Tucker. GERALD E. VARTY g Ffa fgavfv f f 70 Born in the great Mid-west, nurtured on the sun of Cahfornia in my youth, hardened by the bitter New England winters during my under- graduate days, and crowned by the glory of would-be stimulating legal education at the Harvard of the Westj' one would think some larger purpose would be mine upon emerging into the great outside known vaguely here and about as Hthe real world. What shall it be? Poverty law upon which so many are making a profit? Environmental law wherein may be our salvation from ourselves? Reforming the hiring practices of Wall Street? I think not. Instead, perhaps a return to muck- raking and enlist the aid of Ralph Nader to investigate the recruiting practices employed by USC in procuring its stable of jocks for football CStanford has to go to the Rose Bowl more often than once in twenty yearslj For a livelihood, a good start would be to buy a block of 40,000 seats for the 1970 Stanford-USC game in Palo Alto and scalp .them for twice their cost.

H. PETE WILKINSON You- The meaning is in the wonder. is life ever changed. to protect the things I love. RICHARD S. WIRTZ Discovering at 27 that he did not enjoy administering the public any more than the public enjoyed it, Richard stopped. He came to Stanford with a wife he liked very much and high hopes. He departs with the same wife, whom he still likes very much, a daughter, and high hopes. Those who know him can understand about his wife and daughter but are puzzled by his state of mind. He appears to believe in neutral principles, institutional settlement, and the Good Fairy. Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconerg Things fall apartg the centre cannot holdg . . . anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drownedg The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at handg Surely the Second Coming is at hand .... - Yeats R. MICHAEL WRIGHT Towns and seas and all poor devils everywhere. In no way Through acceptance of the mystery, peace. And only through peace can come acceptance of the mystery. We are not open. The glory cannot come in. How soon after our best things is the taste bitter again. As of this earth and what I am on this earth-I fiercely wish They fill my eyes with tears-the things I love. Suppose they are nothing-they are all I have. , f.. :fe I 'cThe snares of the world were its ways of sin. He would fall. He had not yet fallen but he would fall silently, in an instant. Not to fall too hard, too hard: and he felt the silent lapse of his soul, as it would be at some instant to come, falling, falling but not yet fallen, still unfallen but about to fall.
