'Better, Faster Planes'
Is Kuethe
's
Watchword
By HARRY LEVINE
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the seventh
article in a weekly series on faculty
personalities.
When Arnold Kuethe, professor of
aerodynamics here, was just out of
college in 1927 and Lindbergh had
flown across the Atlantic, one of his
teachers told him, 'The airplane has
gone just about as far as it can go.
From here on it's simply a matter of
refinements."
Since then Prof. Kuethe has worked
on quite a few refinements.
To the layman aero-dynamics has
about as much meaning as gariatrics
or dendrochronology. Actually Prof.
Kuethe is the man who tells the de-
signer just what the requirements
are for a plane to do a given speed.
College Interest
"I'd like to say that I was born
with a model airplane in my mouth"
he says, "but the fact is that I never
had more than a passing interest in
planes until I got to college."
Prof. Kuethe has worked on wind
tunnels for the Bureau of Standaids,
acted as consultant for the Navy,
Guggenheim Airship Institute, and
Detroit Exhibit
Includes 'U' Art
Eight members of the design and
painting staff of the architecture col-
lege are represented in the current
Annual Exhibition for Michigan Ar-
tists at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
One of the major awards, the $200
Detroit Museum of Art Founders So-
ciety for the best painting or sculp-
ture by a resident Michigan artist,
was given to Prof. Carlos Lopez.
Other faculty members showing
work in the exhibition are Professors
Jean Paul Slusser, Donald B. Gooch
and Emil Weddige and Charles Farr,
Karl Kasten, Aare Lahti and Roger
Hollenbeck, instructors. A total of 14
works is being exhibited by these
artists.
'U' Scientists Form
Discussion Groups
Carrying out a plan proposed at
their October meeting, the Associa-
tion of University of Michigan Scien-
tists will organize discussion groups
at their meeting at 8 p.m. tomorrow
in the bast Conference Room of the
Rackham Building.
In accordance with the proposed
program, the Association will split
up into small discusion groups to
study specific topics and meetings of
the organization. as a whole will be
less frequent in the future.
PROF. ARNOLD KUETHE
has worked on -aero-dynamics across
the nation from Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology to the California
Institute of Technology.[
In 1927 he met Edith Mary Quinn,
whom he married in 1935. "Sort of a
whirlwind courtship," Prof. Kuethe
comments philosophically.
Ann Arbor Booster
He came here in 1941, and is a
great booster of Ann Arbor. "I've
lived in New York and California but
I'm still a midwesterner at heart," he
says. "The only thing is that I've
gotten a little bitter about the aca-
demic life. Just as I got here they
did away with vacations."
Lately Prof. Kuethe has been active
doing work for the Navy through
Johns Hopkins in the field of guided
missiles. Speeds have been studied
as high as 3,000 miles per hour. In
fact Prof. Kuethe doesn't seem very
much concerned about the 27,000,
miles per hour required for planes to
get outside of our own atmosphere to
reach other planets.
"I don't suppose that it's incon-
ceivable that we could attain speeds
fast enough to reach the moon," he
says, "although I don't know why
anybody would want to."
General Ramey
To Speak Here

In Preventing Wars
Brig.-Gen. Roger M. Ramey, com-
