Harold W. Gegenheimer, recently retired chairman of the board of Baldwin Technology Corporation and member of RIT's Graphic Arts Industry Advisory Committee, has been honored with the Institute's second annual Byron G. Culver Award. Gegenheimer, who holds more than 65 patents for improvements to sheet and offset presses, is currently chairman of the Executive Committee of the Baldwin Technology Corporation's board. Baldwin, manufacturer of products com­ plementary to printing presses, has facilities in five locations in the United States and in Germany and Japan. Many of Gegenheimer's inventions have become virtually standard equipment for sheet-fed and web offset presses in the United States and abroad. In accepting the award, which was formally presented at a banquet last week at the Rochester Hilton, Gegenheimer predicted that the graphic Congratulating Harold W.

Gasser Lecturer Questions Degree of Economic Reversal Admitting that the economy still needs a lot of fine tuning, Herbert Evers, president of ContiCommodity Services, painted a somewhat optimistic economic picture, nonetheless, for College of Business faculty and students last week. Evers, who delivered the 1982 William D. Gasser Distinguished Lecture in Business to a standing-room-only crowd in Webb Auditorium, also received the Gasser Award. Evers said he generally agrees with the concepts of Reagonomics but explained, "We have lived beyond our means for too long, but the degree of reversal that we can expect is the area I question." ContiCommodity, Chicago, is one of the world's largest futures specialists, and in the future Evers said he sees the prime interest rate dropping over the next 18 months and stabilizing in 1983. "We have to be so sensitive in money matters that we will make mistakes in ad­ justing economic conditions, but we must Dr. Walter McCanna (left), dean of the College of Business, and Mrs. Kay Gasser with Herbert move to better anticipate, rather than Evers: Mrs. Gasser presented the award, in memory of her late husband William Gasser, to Evers react to, monetary matters." following his lecture. 3 THE Weekend At Eisenhower
