Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1953 Secretary Has Troubles THE SECRETARY A secretary, is a person, usually female, whom the boss often tells everybody but her, he couldn't do without. If the boss is a young bacnelor, he has to be on his guard; if he is an old married man, she has to be on her guard. Where the boss and callers are concerned, a secretary acts either as a go-between or a stay-between. A secretary must know how to translate the boss' rambling dictation into statements which are crisp and straightforward and yet leave plenty of loopholes and side exits, so that he is pretty proud of himself when he reads what he thinks he dictated. If the boss doesn’t know something, he asks the secretary; if she doesn’t know, she is dumb. The boss is not dumb for not know ing, on account of what has he got a secre tary for? No man is a hero to his valet, and no boss is a hero to his secretary. When a secretary realizes that her boss wouldn’t be worth fif teen dollars a week without her, she has to console herself with the fact that she would n’t be getting her thirty-five per without him. If secretaries didn’t need their jobs, half the bosses in the country would be washed up. If secretaries published their bosses’ confidential memos, the other half would be locked up. A secretary must know where her boss is every minute, so she can tell the right peo ple the wrong place. A secretary must know how to keep the boss’ wife secure in the feeling that she not only wears the pants in the boss’ family but the skirts also. Otherwise, the secretary must know how to hunt another job. The secretary who takes her work ser iously and shows an honest interest in the business and really makes a career of her job is the secretary who, twenty-five years later, is still a secretary, only with dyed hair and typewriter spread. An office boy starts at the bottom and works up. A secretary starts as a secretary and works. • Taft-Hartley jyiOST of Sen. Taft’s proposed amendments to the Taft-Hartley labor law are favor able to labor. They would make the act more palatable to the trade uniojis. The unions could have had most of Taft’s amendments two or three years ago, when he offered them in Congress; but the labor leaders wanted all or nothing; they demand ed outright repeal of the law, and figured that any improvement would make it harder 'to kill. In the presidential campaign Gov. Adlai Stevenson at first advocated mere altera tion of the act, but later yielded to labor’s demand for outright repeal and declared for it. Dwight Eisenhower braved the wrath of the union leaders by. proposing specific amendments and not repeal. However, the labor leaders are expected to scrutinize all proposed changes in the law microscopically, and there probably will be a lively fight over some of the Taft amendments and some of the many others expected to be offered by other congressmen. The stir over this legislation bids fair to be one of the major events of the session. —The Houston Post. A&M Scientists Win Recognition Students Receive Scholar Awards Two senior students have been made the recipients of distinguish ing awards recently. W. A. Crab tree, EE major from Gladewater, has been awarded the Douglas Air craft Company’s $600 prize. Norwin E. Linnarts, Range and Forestry major from Bderne, has been named the outstanding range management student in Texas at the annual meeting of the Texas Section of the American Society of Range Management. The work of two A&M scient ists on the study of how fat can pass through the intestinal wall in to the blood streams, has won na tional recognition. The contributions were made by Dr. Raymond Reiser and Dr. Her man Schlenk of the Biochemistry and Nutrition Department and jointly with the Texas Agricultur al Station. They received certifi cates and cash awards of $300 each from the Glycerine Producers’ As sociation of New York. The Association has established a group of awards to recognize and encourage research leading to new and improved applications of glycerine or glycerine derivatives to products or processes. The contributions to which the award was given is a study of how fat, which is made up of glycerine and fatty acids, can pass through the intestinal wall into the blood streams. To do this it was neces sary to make a fat which contains glycerine and fatty acids “tagged” with radioactive carbon. The studies showed that mono glycerides are a nautral normal product of fat* digestion. Eight Papers Published Altogether about eight papers have been published on these stud ies and the work reported at a number of scientific meetings in cluded the International Biochemi cal Concress in Paris last August, said Dr. C. H. Lyman, head of A&M’s Biochemistry and Nutrition Department. Dr. Schlenk, who is now on leave of absence, and Dr. Reiser received help in making the contribution from Dr. Melvin J. Bryson, of the Norwich Pharmaceutical Company; Mrs. Bernice Wallace DeHaas of Montana State College, Miss Bev erley Gene Lamp of the University of Texas and Mrs. Mary Carr Wil liams, A&M.

CLEANED AND PRESSED CLEANERS SO DIFrERENT FROM A PRIVATE OFFICE Instrument Course Starts Here Today The eighth annual symposium on Instrumentation for the Process In dustries to beheld at A&M starting today, is designed to lead to an im proved understanding of the prin ciples and practice of instrumen tation as applied to the process in dustries. The symposium is sponsored by the Department of Chemical Engi neering with P. G. Murdoch as chairman. All sessions will be held ip the Memorial Student Center. “Industrial plants which operate for the continuous processing of fluids are of great importance in the Southwest,” Murdoch points out. “These include, for example, petroleum refineries, natural gas oline and cycling plants and many of the chemical plants of the area.” Particular attention will be giv en to new developments, Murdoch says. “The material will be on a practical engineering level; theory, when it is needed, will largely be non-mathematically,” Murdoch de clares. “The talks will be directed toward all engineering whose work requires knowledge of industrial instrumentation, that is, toward in strument, design, process and op erating engineers.” Top-flight men in the field will give talks.

Dulles (Continued from Page 1) He asserted that this nation must have a positive policy of de veloping and keeping alive other people-notably those under Soviet dqpnination—“such a love and re spect for freedom that they can never really be absorbed by the desperatism, the totalitarian dic tatorship of the Communist world.” Development of the love of free dom and independence among the captive peoples, he said, make them so resistant to S domination that they cannot digested. 1 be fatal.
