A University dairy re
searcher has termed results
of an experiment in which
Holstein milk cows were han
dled as if they were beef cat
tle "encouraging."
Acceptable daily gains and
weaning weights of calves
which followed Holstein cows
on pasture during the sum
mer and f a 1 1 at the Scotts
bluff Experiement Station
were reported by Dr. Mogens
Plum, in a talk delivered at
the annual meeting of the Ne
braska State Dairymen's As
sociation. The experiment in explor
ing the beef-producing ability
of dairy animals when they
are handled as beef cattle
was undertaken partly be
cause of the desire expressed
by beef cattle breeders for
better milk production in beef
cattle, Plum explained.
"Weaning weight in beef
calves is highly dependent up
on the milk production of the
dam, and the introduction of
genes for milk production
from one of the dairy breeds
into beef lines has been sug
gested," he noted.
Eight Holsteins due to calve
during the spring and sum
mer of 1963 were selected for
the experiment. Two were
heifers which had not calved
previously; the other cows
were veterans of one to four
lactations, some having .pro
duced 15,000 pounds of milk
in 305 days. Calves were born
to the group over a period
from April 20 to July 6, 1963,
and allowed to run with the
cows on alfalfa pasture. No
grain was given to the cows,
as would normally be done to
dairy animals kept for milk
production.
Some conclusions drawn
from the experiment:
The calves did well and
were healthy, apparently not
suffering from drinking large
quantities of milk. A bull calf
in the group posted the rec
ord, an estimated daily con
sumption of better than 50
pounds of milk.
This calf weighed 601
pounds at 187 days of age and
had gained 2.6 pounds per day
since birth. Another bull calf
equalled this performance in
daily gain with a lower re
corded milk intake.
Calves from the two cows
that had no previous lacta
tions did not do as well as
the calves from the cows
with previous lactation rec
ords. Offspring of first-calf
cows gained only two pounds
per day from birth to weaning.
The four heifers in the
group did not gain as rapidly
as the four bull calves. At
weaning time, the best two
males weighed almost 100
pounds more than the 518
pound average of the entire
group.
Data indicated that wean
ing should be prior to 261
days of age in order to ob
tain the highest possible daily
gain under conditions of t h e
experiment. All eight calves
were weaned January 6, 1964,
but varied in age from 184
to 261 days. For the first 183
days, the average daily gain
was 2.3 pounds; following
that date, and until weaning,
the average daily gain was
1.9 pounds per day.
The calves did not take
all the milk available from
the cow until two or three
months of age, when the cows
had already passed their
peak of production. Five
cows were treated for mas
titis, but only one was treat
ed more than once. By the
time the calves took all the

education is very important
in family affairs, because
the Department of Agricul
ture showed these figures in
1956. On the average, fam
ilies in the United States
have $3,000 of borrowed
money in loans, nut only
$2.50, or less than 0.1 per
cent, is for education of
members of the family.
This plan to raise tuition
to cover the total cost of
educating a student should
also be a concern of the fac
ulty for Smith says they, be
salaries, are in effect the
largest contributors to the
subsidies that student en
joy in the below-cost system
that prevails today.
Smith does not believe the
argument that his plan
would put the cost of going
to college beyond the reach
of many young men and
women who are college ma
terial but short of funds.
He says, "Over .the years,
the funds available for
scholarships aid have
tripled and quadrupled. To
day much scholarship mon
ey is going And, according
to the Charitable Research
Foundation, much of pres
ent scholarship aid is going
to children who come from
homes where the family in
come is above $9,000 a
year . . .
"The problem of deciding
on family need at a basis
for scholarship aid is a real
tough one. In 1954, the Ed
ucational Testing Service
started the College Scholar
ship Service, with 175 insti
tutions subscribing to the
sen ice. Today they are
struggling to work out a se
ries of questions that will re
veal real need."
In concluding, this is bow
Smith sums up his case:
"Only the student and his
family can decide whether
the cost of an education is
worth the price to him; and
if it is, how much to pay
now from income and from
other assets, and how much
to borrow and pay back la
ter. Those who care enough
about an education would
borrow, not only to meet the
currently "expected support
from family," but the full
cost if there are no other
way to obtain the very val
uable commodity that col
leges now insist on offering
at a bargain price."
The time for this plan in
Nebraska is now, for cer
tainly the legislature should
not be expected to increase
an already substantial sub
sidy to students.

Holly To Edit Text
Vice Chancellor Roy Holly,
dean of faculty, is serv
ing as editor of a new
"Gynecology - Obst e t r i c s
Guide" for the medical pro
fession. The guide represents a new
approach to providing basic
and new information for the
medical profession, accord
ing to Holly. Similar services

(CPS) tie progress was made ac
cording to Rocco de Pietro,
SETONIAN editor. Another
meeting was scheduled for
Wednesday.
However, Pietro noted that
there is only a slight possi
bility that the paper will be
allowed to resume publica
tion before Apirl 1, when the
staff will be reorganized.
Students are standing firm
ly behind the SETONIAN staff.
A plan for appointing two of
this year's junior editors to
'replace Pietro was shouted
aown Dy students at a meet
ing Friday.
According to Petro, the sus
pension of the paper stems
from SETONIAN criticism of
university administrative pol-
especially women-in-
apartment regulations. The
paper also was criticized for
an article urging the consider
ation of Nelson Rockefeller
for president despite his di
vorce and remarriage.
It is believed that university
officials also took exception to
satirical presentations made
by the newspaper's columnists
and cartoonists on the ad
ministration's regulations.
Last October 17, in an edito
rial deploring censorship in
Catholic colleges and in sup
port of student protests, the
SETONIAN said, "Their reac
tions bring to the surface the
j mounting discontent of stu-
dents who are tired of ad
i ministrators hiding behind the
word Catholic to protest their
conservative views. Too many
nuns and priets enforce ta
boos or false codes of moral
ity where they never belong.
The liberal Catholic who has
something to say is silenced
because he steps on the in
fallible toe of the Catholic
Church."
milk, tests showed no evi
dence of mastitis. ,
In order to make further ob
servations on the effect of
nursing on the producing abil
ity of the cows, all eight will
be in the milking herd during
their next lactation and will
be milked regularly, Plum
said.
The "amount of milk pro
duced and the incidence of
mastitis will be evaluated in
order to determine any pos
sible deterioration in the milk
producing ability after one
season of being "beef cows."
The bull calves were con
verted to steers in the fall,
and the steer and heifer
calves involved in the experi
ment were put on full feed.
After 32 days, they had
gained an average of 3.4
pounds per day, Plum concluded.

This Week In The Union
High Schoolers Invade Again
By Bill Harding
This is it! The week that
all college students dread is
again coming to the Nebraska
campus. The Annual State
High-School Basketball Tour
nament is here again.
Any reader who has not ex
perienced this mass migra
tion of the multitudes to our
campus should be prepared to
be: verbally harassed, pushed
from sidewalks, and evicted
from the most sacred of all
student sanctums The Crib.
Besides this, the stomping
of feet and shaking of walls
that will emit from the Union
Ballroom tomorrow, Fri
day, and Saturday nights will
proclaim louder than any
poster that the Tournament
Dances are once again in
progress. Admission is 50c and
limited to high-school students.
Assembly Talks
Set To Consider
Bigger Population
Seventy persons from nine
states have accepted invita
tions to attend the Great

cation, agriculture, communi
cations and other pursuits will
come from Colorado, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Ne
braska, North Dakota, South

The meeting is sponsored
by the University and the
American Assembly, Colum
bia University.
The American Assembly,
founded by Dwight Eisenhow
er in 1950 when he was presi
dent of Columbia University,
is a national, non-partisan,
educational organiza
tion which regularly holds in
ternational, national, region
al, state and local meetings
and publishes books on vital
current topics.
But even with the trauma of
facing this onslaught from
out-state, the Union organiza
tion has rallied to the cause
of college students and pre
sented a Faculty Recital yes
terday at 7 p.m. in the Union
Ballroom.
Raymond Still, famed obo
ist, will be the guest solist
for the Symphonic Band Con
cert Sunday at 4 p.m.
Also a cartoon exhibit will
be placed in the Gallery
Lounge of the Union for the
rest of the month by the Con
emporary Arts Committee.
