Dean C. N. Shepardson said yes

Committee purely as im ipuividual,
and his opinions in no way reflec

further that his chief interest in
the bill was to prevent the sale of
yellow colored margarine at the
factory because of the opportuni

gel, professor of Management at
Texas University, opened the
morning session with a talk on {
the formal procedures for rat
ing employees and ways to put
them in line for promotions bas
ed upon their ability and per
formance. He hailed.merit rating
as “an aid to settlirfg grievances
and union disputes.”
William Busby, superintendent
of Industrial Engineering for the
Texas Foundries at Lufkin, recom
mended to the conference that each
plant should develop, install, and
operate its own plan for rating
employee performance. “There is
not one hard and fast way to rate
empUyee performance that ap
plies to all plants,” he said.
An explanation of Sheldon’s the
ory of type determination and
tempermental characteristics as re
lated to personnel promotions was
S lven by J. W, Chapman. Industrial
Ingineer of Han Antonio, Sheldon
conceived the theory that all men
betray their tempermental char-

Chapman cited the case example of
a man recommended for promotion
to foreman. If th& promotion were
granted, then Chapman said he
could expect the man’s work and
behavior to be such and such.
Therefore, in/this particular case
the, promotion was refused because
the man was irritable on occasion,
he had an inferiority complex, and
Chapman felt these undesirable
characteristics would be reflected
in the morale and production of the
workers under this foreman.
Dallas L. Belcher, Extension
Instructor of the Industrial Ex
tension Service of A&M, spoke
upon training supervisors to
i heir responsibilities concerning
oh evaluation nod merit rating,
le also stressed the importance
n achieving a successfully oper
ating system. "Supervisors must
be educated to the whoty picture
of job evaluation and merit rat
ing systems,” he suld. They nm
either make or br^ak a good pro
gram lit these fields, “Make them
want these plans*” he said.

V. M. Faires, chairman of the
conference, summed up? the con
ference, its subjects, and its pur
poses. As many of the speakers
had done, Faires stressed the im
portance of making these systems
simple—“So simple that every
worker in the plant can understand
them and have confidence in them”
Several men attending the con
ference said they were ; impressed
by A&M’s progressive ^strides in
training men for management po
sitions in industry. i
Advisory Board
Meeting Reset
The meeting of the
Store Advisory Boat
today, has been posi
til 4 pan. Thursday,
W. H. Holzmann,
troller, has ann«
committee and read a prepared
statement, which was distributed
;o the committee member*, in
which I stated definitely that I
|was presenting my personal opin-
ons as a representative of the
National Milk Producers Cooper
ative Association, and not ns a
spokesman for A&M College.’’
Shepardson said the confusion
as to who he represented probably
arose in the method of his intro
duction to the committee. He was
introduced by an old college class
mate, who was serving on the
Ways and Means Committee, and
whom he had not seen in some
time. When Shepardson appeared,
the committeeman requested to in
troduce him as a personal favor.
In the introduction, he was men
tioned as the Dean of Agriculture
at Texas A&M, and several papers
reported him as representing the
College.
Fraud Possible
“I object t« the unrestricted
sale of facory colored, yellow oleo
margarine because of the fraud
ulent sales possibilities it offers”
Shepardson said. As long as a
large price gap exists between
butter and margarine, Shepardson
continued, “unscrupulous retailers
will attempt to sell colored mar
garine as butter and pocket the
difference. If a person wants njar-
garine he should most certainly
be allowed to purchase )t, but he
should not be sold matgarine in
the belief he is buying a higher
priced butter product”
As an example, Shepardson cited
the recent horse meat controversy.
"If a person likes and knows he
is getting horse meat, he should be
allowed to buy it, but not Under a
label of beef,” he said. "The prin
ciple is the same for the sate of
cotton for iilk or ahy other cheap
er product; no sale should be re
stricted, but no salo should he mis-
repreiented,” v
Gilchrist Queried
The entire controversy bad a-
rteon after Dean Shepardson tes
tified before the Ways and Means
Committee and several papers and
news agencies reported him ns rep
resenting A&M College, Repre
sentative W, K, Poage of Waco,
lender In the congressional move
to wipe out the Federal Oleomar-
(trine tax ami permit the sale of
_actory-colore<l oleomargarine, wlr-
ml Chancellor Gibb Gilchrist ask
ing what Hhepurdson’s position
wan In the matter, Gilchrist wired
hack that HheparUsoo’s opinions
were his own and did not neces
sarily represent those of the col
lege. Poage later acknowledged re
ceipt of tne telegram, but expres
sed doubt that Shepardson should
have come to Washington as a
special representative.
Shepardson said he was not op
posing removal of the margarine
tax and that he had supported the
Granger Bill for many years. The
Granger Bill agrees with the poage
legislation in that it opposes the
tax. The Poage Bill, however, per
mits factory coloring of margarine.
Methodist Plan
Freshman Night
Freshman Night, will be held
in the A&M Methodist Church
Sunday night, Asbury Lenox, min
ister, said yesterday. \ r
Many of the freshmen from the
Annex will take part in the service
which will feature music by the
Freshman Choir and a solo by
Thomas Savage, C. L. Ray; John
Hall, Lawrence Ashbum, and Har
old Hughes, also freshmen, will
take part in the service, Lenox
said, y ? ! ' ; l j
Refreshments wM be served in
the Student Lounge, Lennox said.
Jobs ii
“I object to any pitting of one
type of agriculture against an
other" Shepardson continued. “I be
lieve we are all interested in n
more balanced Agriculture, and I
think dairy and cotton farming
complement each other. The Texas
cetton farmer receives more in
come from his seed and hulls sold
to dairymen than he does from
the production of oleomargarine”
he added.
Pointing out that Arkansas had
a similar Bill, Shepardson said he
doubted that the margarine identi
fication portions of the Poage Bill
could be effectively enforced. *‘We
have indentification laws now,' but
few public eating places post signs
saying they are serving Margar
ine” Shepardson continued, “and
there, as in sale across the coun
ters, is a tempting opportunity to
substitute colored margarine for
butter.”
Repeats Belief
Shepardson concluded by repeat
ing that he was opposed to any
restriction of fair agricultural
competition, but that he was equal
ly opposed to fraud and deception
in sales of these products.
“These opinions are all my own”
he said “and I hope they will be
recognized as such. I gave them
because I believe that factory col
ored margarine offers an opening
for fraudulent sales and will in no
way help Texas attain a better
balanced agriculture.” •

Dave wandered around \|Room
202 many days muttering some
thing about sugar-cured hate be
fore someone finally beat the gist
of the idea out of him and set him
into action. With Battalion “foto-
grafer” Sandidge in tow, Coslett
scoured the campus and snapped
many pics of cowpokes and their
personalized hat creases before he
settled down to write his version
of the Texas A&M hat situation.
The magazine editors bought
the article from Coslett complete
with pictures and printed it in the
March issue. The story is built
around the prevalence of western
hats on the A&M campus, stem
ming from the western “raisin’”
of many Aggies who brought their
hat customs to college with them.
One of the main points of the
article is the description of the
“sugar cure” method of shaping
a hat to fit the personality of the
cowboy.

An outline of the frozen fruit
industry was given by R. F. Cain
of the Horticulture Department.
Cain showed how the frozen
fruit industry had progressed from
the early use of the barrel as a
shipping container to the modem
use of the 10 to 30-pound package.
The changes which fruit goes
through in the process of handling
were pointed out as being classed
as physical, microbiological, and
chemical, the last two being of
outstanding importance.
Problems of loss of flavor, aro
ma, and color in fruit because of
oxidation were discussed.
Other speakers included A. Y.
Moore, who spoke on plant sani

Who, spoke on cottage cheese
manufacture.
