ALL BUSINESS MAJORS
WELCOME
Dr. Robert E. Hoskisson, assistant
professor of management, will act as
faculty advisor for the first A&M
team to compete in the tournament.
The team comprises Diane Baum-
bach, Renell Carter, Stephen
Schwarzbach, Jeffrey Early and al
ternate, Michelle Weishaar. All are
senior business majors.
The team members were nomi
nated and chosen by the College of
Business Administration Fellows
from the business administration
honor students, Hoskisson said.
Students are preparing for the
competition by visiting a Masters of
Business Administration class and by
practicing case presentations before
the MBA class. This competition is
the only undergraduate business
case competition in the nation. Each
year five schools are invited to com
pete.
Schools competing this year are
A&M, the University of Florida-Gai-
nesville, the University of Illinois,
the University of Minnesota, and de
fending champion, the University of
Notre Dame.
The policy case; given to the com
petitors, written by the Mclntire
School of Commerce faculty mem
bers, is based on an actual company.
The faculty members meet with the
cooperating organization and com
pile the necessary data.
Case topics range from handling
high growth situations to making de
cisions about the future of a compa
ny’s operations.
Once the competition begins, the
team is given 15 hours to analyze the
case and prepare a five to six page
written solution and an oral defense.
The team must then face a 30-min
ute question-and-answer session.
The winning team returns the fol
lowing year to defend its title.
Judging is done by a panel of
prominent members of the business
community and a representative
from The General Electric Founda
tion, the competition’s sponsor.
Funded through a grant from the
foundation, the competition is
planned and managed entirely by
students during the course of a year.
The major objectives of the com
petition, the competition’s chairman
said, are: “to create a national show
case for bachelor degree candidates
in business from among the nation’s
finest undergraduate programs; to
arouse industry and media aware
ness of the importance of bachelor
degree candidates in business; and
to provide an opportunity for both
participants and tneir schools to gain
national exposure and to benefit
from contact with other undergrad
uates from around the nation.”
Pesticide damages
cotton crops in Texas
Associated Press
AMARILLO — The Texas De
partment of Agriculture said Thurs
day it is seeking a record $24,250 in
fines from 38 pesticide applicators
and dealers for damage to cotton
crops in Deaf Smith, Parmer and
Castro counties.
Ron White, assistant TDA com
missioner, told a news conference
that the High Plains cotton suffered
damage last summer after it was in
advertently exposed to the herbicide
2,4-D.
Names of the alleged violators of
state pesticide laws were not re
leased. The TDA said some of them
have not yet received the official let
ter of citation.
White said 2,4-D is intended for
use on grain crops to kill weeds and
is strickly prohibited from use near
cotton.
