Final Issues Guest
Talks on Economy
Closing out this year’s presenta
tion of Great Issues speakers,
Charles N. Shepardson, member of
the Federal Reserve System’s
Board of Governors and former
Dean of Agriculture at A&M, told
his audience that “the business of
this country is built in confidence;
when you lose confidence, the econ
omy stagnates.”
Speaking on “Tight Money —
How and Why?”, Shepardson de
fined tight money as the inade
quate supply of money to meet all
current demands of everyone.
After graduating from Colorado
in 1917, Shepardson started his ca
reer which has been entirely con
nected with agriculture. He serv
ed as head of the A&M Dairy Hus
bandry Department from 1928-44,
at which time he became Dean of
Agriculture. He held this position
until March, 1955, when he was ap
pointed to the Federal Reserve Sys
tem.
Today’s economy, said Shepard
son, is running at full capacity
with a high leve.l of employment.
Full employment, however, is flex
ible, he explained, because some
people have to work all the time
while some only work when they
have to.
On the subject of tight money,
the speaker explained the prob
lems connected with the govern
ment’s attempt to control the econ
omy satisfactorily and how it went
about it. Shepai’dson pointed out
three ways by which the Federal
Reserve could regulate credit, in
cluding setting a reserve require
ment of banks, changing the
amount of money in the market
by buying or selling securities and
changing discount rates.
Showing that credit determined
buying, which in turn determined
the status of the economy, Shep
ardson said there must be some
way to control or expand credit.

Zukero Fund
Started to Aid
Stricken Senior
A welfare fund for Vic
Zuckero, “B” Field Artillery
senior from Simon ton, was
started yesterday by the Stu
dent Senate.
Zuckero is in Bryan Hospital
stricken with spinal meningitis.
He was rushed to the hospital im
mediately following an intramural
softball accident Wednesday.
Hospital examination revealed
he was being attacked by the dis
ease. Doctors said that if he had
been taken to a Houston hospital
as first planned he would have
been “dead on arrival.”
The welfare fund, approved by
W. L. Penberthy of Student Activ
ities and Dr. Robert B. Kamm,
dean of Student Personnel Serv
ices, will be handled by the Office
of Student Activities and contri
butions will be made to “The Vie
Zuckero Fund.”
Senators have set the fund’s
goal at $600 and buckets for con
tributions will be placed in the
Memorial Student Center, Aca
demic Building and Sbisa and Dun
can Mess Halls tomorrow.
Zuckero is badly in need of
money since his family’s farm has
been evacuated and under water
since floods began. Senators say.
Zuckero has some insurance but
they say it will not be adequate
to take care of this emergency.
His hospital expenses are running
$100 per day and he is in an oxy
gen tent being fed through his
veins, Senators say.
