day evening at eight o’clock in the j atart
Chemistry lecture room. Dr. C. C.
Hedges, chairman for the evening.
Introduced the speaker.
Dealing chiefly with employee
Welfare, Mr. Shaw outlined the
|khe ideal situation as regirds the
felatioh between an executive and
his subordinates. "Consideration
ihoyld at all times be ihown where
bossible," ke said.
For illustration of his ideas, the
lecturer discussed personnel man
agement in the Humble organixa-
tion.
With sketches and working
drawings completed, work on dec
orations for the annual Ross Vol
unteer Spring Festivities to be
held April 19 to 21 inclusive will
start immediately, according to
Charles Van De Putte, chairman
of the decoration committee.
A street scene in Paris will be
used to carry out the nwtiff, with
such famous establishments as La
Noville and Moulin Rouge in the
group to lend an atmosphere of
gayety. Cigarette girli dressed
in typical French attire will pass
among the guests seated at tables
grouped about the setting, depict
ing a sidewalk cafe of pgris.
The throne upon which T. E.
Jarman, king of the festivities,
will be crowmed, is to be placed at
one end of the hall in such a way
as to offer the effect of being
built upon the steps of a great
public bijilding of France. The
entrance of the court wilt be made
at the opposite end of the hall,
thus giving a short street proces
sion up to the throne.
An unusual lighting effect is to
be attained in using dimly lighted
street lamps as the source.
Work on the decorations is well
up to schedule, according to Van
De Putte, and will be completed
several days before the festivities

The keynote of the Aggie spring
ining has not been to develop
team during this short time but
been merely to drill the funda-
aientals of football into the boys
end to have the players know the
fundamentals so well ae to be able
to do them without having to give
thought to * fundamentals while
playing. This will, according to
the coaches, give the boys
of thought for the plays that will
be going on in a game.
Only enough plays ha'
taught to the boys to
general principles, the
to be taught during
work next year. Coaches
