Steer Research
Being Conducted
The Department of Animal
Science is utilizing 1 some of the
top show steers and barrows in
the state for teaching and re
search purposes.
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.

Cleanliness — Virtue?
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.

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.
