Animals have been purchased by the department for about five years from the major shows in Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. The stock is bought at market value on resale from the original buyers. Dr. O. D. Butler, head of the department, said 25 steers were bought from the State Pair in Dallas and 29 barrows from San Antonio this season. Twenty to 30 steers will be purchased, from the Houston show. He added the program enables the department to select from among more than 400 steers and an even larger number of bar- rows at each show. Information obtained benefits the university and the livestock industry. “All the animals are first used live in our teaching and research,” Butler said. “Then they are slaughtered, and the information Connally Signs Coordinating Bill AUSTIN <A>) — A beaming Gov. John Connally signed ‘with abun dant pride” Thursday his top- priority bill creating a new and powerful board to coordinate tax- supported higher education. Looking on as Connally signed the bill were members of his spe cial higher education study commit tee, which recommended the board, and sponsors of the measure, Rep. Dick Cory of Victoria, Rep. Charles Wilson of Trinity and Sen. Bill Moore of Bryan. “It is with profound gratitude to all of you and with abundant pride that I have the great privi lege of signing House Bill 1,” Connally said. “I have signed a lot of bills since I became governor, but I don’t know if I’ve ever signed any that gave me greater personal pleasure than this.” The bill goes into effect Sept. 1, when the 18-member “Coordi nating Board, Texas College and University System’ replaces the nine-year-old Texas Commission on Higher Education. is sent back to the shows, exhibi tors and judges.” Complete carcass information is obtained on all animals by slaughtering and processing in the modern meats laboratory on campus. “We have found in every case, judges are highly interested in getting objective carcass informa tion on the animals they have selected as champions,” Butler added. The department head said that studies at A&M are showing a marked adjustment taking place in fitting steers for show. Breed ers and exhibitors are going to ward meat-type animals instead of the once-popular, over-finish ed “flower show” calves. When department personnel judge at shows, they select for the meatiest animals of accepta ble quality, Butler said. But con formation characteristics related to production are also considered since slaughter livestock repre sent breeding animals that pro duced them. By studying the show stock, A&M students get tips on the most effective judging and selec tion. And they learn that visual appraisal (eyeballing) is not al ways an accurate yardstick. “A follow-up study on junior market steers from the State Fair shows about 75 percent of visual accuracy,” Butler ex plained. He added that a grand champ ion animal may not be best from the meat standpoint, but the car cass will usually be close to the top. The show steer and barrow program here demonstrates to students, exhibitors and breeders how this can happen. Butler emphasized that stock judges, like all judges, get their share of criticism.

NEW YORK (AP) — Well, they’re at it again. “They” are the office cleanli ness brigade who keep spotless desks themselves and want ev erybody else to keep a neat desk, too. You find these ataxiophobes and amathophobes in every of fice. An ataxiophobe is with a morbid dread der. An amathophobe is with a morbid dread of dust. Their motto is, “every paper clip has its place - let’s put it there.” They don’t have blood in their veins. If you screwed off their heads and turned them upside a person of disor- a person down, detergent would run out. Squads of these self-appointed janitors, these memo-pad Mus- solinis, have been going by my littered desk lately murmuring things like: “He’s gone too far.” “Really, he’s giving the place a bad name.” “It looks like the city dump. I think I saw a rat run out of it yesterday.” Then they go back to their own spotless desks, brushing at Johnson Tells Congress Production Rise Needed WASHINGTON <AP) — Presi dent Johnson has set a new goal for attaining full employment— a 4 3/4 per cent rise in real na tional output every year from now through 1970. The production rate was achieved in 1964 under the stim ulus of tax reduction, Johnson told Congress, but it far exceeds any gains the nation has been able to sustain for more than a brief period in modem peace time history. In his annual manpower re port, the President said Thurs day that unemployment proba- bliy would have increased in 1965, “rather than declining by half a percentage point,” except for last year’s massive tax cut. Simultaneously, the February job report of the Labor Depart ment showed a slight setback. Unemployment rose from Janu ary’s 4.8 per cent, the lowest in' seven years, to 5 per cent, while employment climbed seasonally by 500,000 to 69.5 million job hold ers. The 5 per cent rate last month compared with a 5.2 per cent over-all average for 1964;. “It is obvious that an aggres sive policy of action to stimulate output and employment growth will be necessary if even the pre sent high rate of unemployment Man Survives Freak Accident ATLANTA, Ga. (A>) _ A father of three whose heart was pierced by the blade of a hedge shears in a freak accident is so happy to be alive he is thinking of how he can help others. “I guess the good Lord was with us,” said William C. Sharp Sr. from a hospital bed Wednes day. The 46-year-old business exec utive, who came to Atlanta from Valley Forge, Pa., last August, said he was still pinching him self over being alive. His wife, Sylvia, said he felt there must be some reason for him to do something for others, perhaps in church work. Sharp missed death by the narrowest of margins. “I pulled those hedge clippers out of my chest, and when I saw about six inches of red blood on the blade, I knew I was in real trouble,” he said.

Main f A 2-6000 is not to rise further,” the 275- page manpower report said. “The proposed cut in excise taxes and other fiscal actions will be an important support to ecenomic activity specially for the latter half of 1965, to insure that the rapid growth in output does not taper off.” The bulk of the presidential report was a survey of job trends and prospects by the Labor De partment. Officials said John son attached special significance to two of its disclosures: — Of the 1.5 million new jobs created in 1964, about 80 per cent, or 1.2 million, were in the pri vate sector of the economy. By contrast, about half the annual gain in the half - decade from 1957 to 1962, or 250,000 jobs a year, were provided by growing state and local governments. — The goods producing indus tries contributed 420,000 new jobs in 1964. Those industries had net average declines of more than 100,000 jobs a year in 1957- 1962. “Our progress is cause for pride, but not for pause,” John son said. He went on to urge prompt enactment of his broad program of education, antipoverty, job training, area development, and minimum wage measures. Transport Meet Slated April 1-2 The future of highway transport and reasons for present vehicle weights and sizes will be discussed by speakers at the seventh annual Transportation Conference April 1-2. Conducted by the Texas Trans portation Institute and its advisory committee, the conference will be directed by Maj. Gen. John P. Doyle, McDonald Chair Professor of Transportation. Edward V. Kiley, director of re search and transportation econo mics for American Trucking As sociations, will discuss the future of highway transport and what the interstate system will mean to shippers when utilized to its full potential. L. M. Clauson, chief engineer of the Iowa State Highway Commis sion and chairman of the transport committee of the American As sociation of State Highway Of ficials, will describe the latter organization’s position on vehicle weights and sizes. He will also analyze some of the proposals for enlarging these limits. Judge Jim C. Langdon, a mem ber of the Texas Railway Comis sion, will discuss the present status and future of intra-state transpor tation regulation of Texas. Clifford Gannett, project director in the office of the Undersecre tary of Commerce, will discuss current research in “Transporta tion Costs and Rates,” particular ly computerization of tariffs, with emphasis on probable financial re turns to carriers and shippers. Laurence K. Walrath, a member of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, will cover objectives of deregulation or minimum regula tion of transportation and suggest practical ways to reach the goal. Researchers To Construct Facial History Of Egyptians ANN ARBOR, Mich. UP) — Operating on the theory that by their teeth shall you know them, two University of Michigan re searchers are going to Egypt to put together a facial history of the Nubian people. Dr. James E. Harris and Joseph Hartsook of the university’s School of Dentistry plan to leave for Egypt this spring and return by June. The two plan to make X-rays of skulls in ancient Nu bian burial grounds. They plan to work quickly since the grave yards are in an area where the waters of the Nile River are backing up behind the new Aswan Dam. With X-rays of the old skulls and X-rays of today’s Nubians the dentists hope to create a photographic record covering 4,- 000 years in the race’s facial and dental development. The Nubians are of mixed Ne gro and white background which has remained substantially un changed since about 2,000 B.C., according to the dentists. “What we want to do is to find the relation of facial bone growth patterns to dentition” — the de velopment of teeth — and oc clusion, the way they fit to geth- er, Harris said. their clothing as if they had be come contaminated, and spend the rest of the day cleaning their fingernails. They drop anonymous notes in the office suggestion box complaining my desk has become a public health menace. Well, I say, to hell with all such neurotic nice-Nellies. If they want to clean up something, why don’t they clean up City Hall? What do I care if they call me “the Mayor of Germ Harbor?” A man’s desk should have a worked-in look, just as his home should have a lived-in look. It should bear the signature of his toil and dreams. I feel a sense of pity when I see an office full of shining desks, their tops as barren of signs of human life as so many dunes in a desert. They seem so mean ingless. Who works at these desks?.. A number of nameless moles ? Their desks show no evidence of be longing to anybody. Maybe they are manned by faceless automa tons. Who cares ? I take pride in the condition of my desk. The two-foot pile of debris on it - which also has overflowed an adjoining book case, two windows and three file cabinets - took me as long to accumulate as it did the Phar aoh Cheops to build his great Pyramid. But my memorial is just as distinctive in its small w'ay as his. No one could mistake his pyr amid for any other, no one could mistake my desk for any other. All home town and profes sional club representatives must turn in all sweetheart pictures, president pictures and write-up to the Aggie- land office by March 15 if they are to go in the AG- GIELAND.
