Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben Preparation
Described by Showman
Editor' Noe: This article Is written
by a student showman who is preparing;
a animal for competition in the Junior
Ak-Sar-Ben Saturday night. Scheduled in
the State Fairgrounds coliseum, the show
starts at p.m.
By Darold Loecker
My preliminary plans for the
Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben contest began
about a month and a half ago.
According to Block and Bridle
club rules (sponsor of. the con
test) I could select the type and
breed of livestock, but I had to
draw lots with the rest of the
showmen in selecting my ani
mal. I chose a dairy heifer, and work
began.
Strange Business
It was all new to me and a
strange business. But in my opin
ion, dairy breeds show more
alertness and carry themselves
graceful, which is an advantage
to the showman.
As this was my first showing,
the dairy herdsman out at Ag
college suggested I show a Jersey
heifer. Jerseys, he said, have a
tendency to be more docile and
are easier for an inexperienced
showman to handle.
My Jersey is a beauty, of faun
and white color.
The first week I 'taught her
to lead. That took time as her
first reaction to a halter was
negative. She resisted, which is
natural, but after leading her
around the campus for a few
hours and coaxing her all the
time, she changed her attitude as
she found it was practically iruu
less to resist
This change of heart gave me
a feeling of progress. The heifer
and I were getting to Know eacn
other and she trusted me enough
to let me lead her.
The next problem was to get
her to slow her pace, to keep her
head erect; and when standing,
to stand correctly.
Every winning showman must
teach his animal to do this so
I wasnt alone in my routine of
teaching the dumb animal "show
animal etiquette."
Keeps Building Clean
Out at the fair grounds, we
have a special building for our
animals this year. I have the
rather unpleasant job of keeping
the building clean and feed be
fore my animaL
Having the heifer inside gives
me a better chance to keep her
clean. Right now she is brushed
and blanketed.
This is to remove loose hair

COME BOSS Teaching a dairy heifer to lead is one of the many
chores every winning livestock showman must perform. Tn
preparation for the Junior Ak-Sar-Ben showman and fitting
contest Saturday night, (1. to r.) Darold Loecker and Charles
Frederick are teaching their heifers a little "show animal
etiquette." (Rag photo by Frank Lothrop.)
and give the aanimal a sleek well
groomed appearance.
In this last week before the
show, snow and cold weather
hampered some of my final plans.
I had hoped to further develop
the animals training. But, it was
almost impossible to lead her in
cold wet weather.
Unless conditions improve, I
will not be able to groom my
heifer beyond dry brushing and
combing. Usually I would give
her a bath also.
But the dairy department won't
have me washing the animals
while the weather is so cold.
This is a precautionary measure
on their part to eliminate any
possibility of sickness.
As a final preparation Friday,
Men's Dorm
Point System
A revised point system and
rules for the governing of resi
dents of the Men's Dorm have
been approved by the dorm
council.
This action was taken in view
of the possible extension of dorm
facilities to include accommoda
tions for 800 to 1,000 residents
within the next few years. The
revised system was written by
John Speas, director of the Men's
dorm, and was set up by the
Appeal Board.
"The "point system" is an
assessment of points on an in
dividual basis for violations of
the rules and regulations. Points
will assessed in direct proportion
to the importance of the rule or
regulation that has been vio
lated. Individual accumulation
of points will result in the fol
lowing action:
Evaluation of Points
Ten points Any resident ac
cumulating 10 points will be dis
missed from the dormitories un
der the provisions of paragraph
one of the rules and regulations
of the residence halls for men.
Seven points Any resident
accumulating 7 points will auto
matically be placed on dormitory
probation. Any subsequent viola
tion, no matter how minor, will
invoke a penalty of not less than
3 points resulting in dismissal

I will trim the animal's hair and

ready for the show.
Picks Show Uniform
As for fitting myself, I chose
white trousers, a white shirt, a
black tie and black shoes as my
show uniform. Some showmen
think that a clean bright uniform
attracts the attention of the judge
to the animal you are showing.
Regardless whether I place in
the show or not, I feel I have
gained experience for shows of
next year and the year after.
It provides quite a challenge
to meet in competition with other
showmen. It gives me satisfac
tion to think I have been a mem
ber of one of the year's largest
projects at Ag college.

Five points Any resident ac
cumulating 5 points will be called

By Don Pieper
The draft situation is foggy at
best.
But there is some hope for Uni
versity students under the senate-passed
draft and UMT bill
now before the house armed
services committee. If the house
does not make any changes, 75,
000 college students will be an
nually deferred to continue edu
cation. The bill would leave the selec
tion of the 75,000 students to a
five-man board probably on the
basis of nation-wide competition.
But if the bill will make some
students happy, it will make the
older than 18-year-old unhappy.
Under the bill, 18-year-old men
are eligible for induction after
all eligible men in the 18-25 age
group- have been taken.
The end' of the present emer
gency will not make things any
easier for those who would just
as soon not have any military
training. When the emergency is
over, the University Military
Training section of the bill will
come into effect.
Applies to 18-Year-Olds.
The UMT program, applicable
only to 18-year-olds, would be
established whenever congress or
the president decides that inter
national tensions have eased. It
would require six months train
ing in a national security corps.
Freedom will not come to eith-
