Witnesses of the Resurrection
(second in a series of paid advertisements by the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint Student
Association.)
As Easter approaches this year many of us will reflect on the
perfect example of the Savior Jesus Christ. We reread with
awe and wonder the New Testament accounts of the closing
events which led to our Easter celebration of today. Yet for oth
ers, the course of time and distance since then may seem to
have altered the significance and timelessness of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ.
In the 13th chapter of 2nd Corinthians the Apostle Paul re
minds those that in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall
every word be established. In light of this scripture, we rejoice
in the remarkable discovery and translation, by the gift and
power of God, of a second witness testifying of the mission of
Christ. This other Scripture, known to members of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as the Book of Mormon de
scribes the religious history of Holy Land inhabitants who mi
grated to the Americas centuries ago. Of most significance in
this record is the discription of the visitation of Jesus Christ to
these people shortly after His Resurrection where He revealed
to them the Gospel He had taught in the Old World.
These two marvelous Scriptures serve as dual witnesses that
Christ indeed broke the bonds of death and resurrected and
testify of the universal love and concern of God for all mankind.

A&M business college
places no emphasis
on courses in ethics
By Melanie Perkins
Staff Writer
Business schools around the coun
try are intensifying efforts to teach
their students ethics, but Texas
A&M is not one of them.
“In terms of a direct focus, there
are no courses in ethics (in the Col
lege of Business Administration),”
Dr. Samuel Gillespie, assistant dean
of the College of Business Adminis
tration, said. “There has been no dis
cussion that that particular topic
should be given any more emphasis
than any other.”
A&M’s idea differs from the Har
vard Business School, which recently
received a $30 million gift to finance
a program in ethics teaching.
This is not to say business students
at A&M are not taught ethics. They
are, but in the course of their normal
class work, Gillespie said.
Like Dr. Michael Hitt, head of the
marketing department, said, “We
want our Aggies to be ethical.”
Gillespie pointed out the policy
classes in the various departments,
such as MGMT 466, Management
Policy, and MKTG 448, Marketing
Management, in which ethical issues,
such as social responsibility, are
taught in the bulk of the material.
He also mentioned MGMT 211,
the Legal and Social Environment of
Business, which teaches the role of
law in business and society, legal rea
soning and other business laws.
Hitt said MGMT 363, the Orga
nizing Process, serves as an introduc
tion to the issue of ethics. Students
learn about social responsibility of
companies and managerial ethics in
the course, he said.
Three of these courses, MGMT
211, MGMT 363 and MGMT 466,
are requirements for graduation in
the College of Business Administra
tion.
Gillespie said many business stu
dents, with the encouragement of
the business department, take PHIL
483, Professional Ethics, which ful
fills one of their humanity require
ments.
Dr. Manuel Davenport, professor
of philosophy and humanities, lea
ches PHIL 483. He said business stu
dents are the largest single group
taking the class, followed by engi
neering students.
The course focuses on the kinds
of problems encountered in various
professions, Davenport said, and
starts out with some standard ethical
theories.
Whether or not a person behaves
in an ethical manner is determined
by a long period of education and
home training, he said.
“What a course — one course
even — in ethics can do is, assuming
the person does have some ethical
sensibility, is get the person to apply
that sensibility,” he said.
He said the main value of ethics
courses is to make students aware of
ethical issues that exist that they
didn’t even know about.
