Block & Bridle Re-Elects
NU Prof National Head
Prof. M. A. Alexander of the j
University Animal Husbandry
department was unanimously re-
elected president of the national
Block and Bridle club at their
annual meeting recently.
Officers serve a two year term.
Alexander, who was elected by
two delegates from each of the
27 chapters scattered throughout
the agricultural states, is one of
the most widely known and re
spected livestock judging team
coaches of the country. His Ne
braska team has never placed
lower than sixth in a field of 20
to 34 teams competing at the
American Royal, International
and Denver shows. Alexander
has coached 17 years at Ne
braska. Coaches Team
Although his senior team
placed second of 34 teams at the
International this year, Alexan
der spid jokingly, "Most im
portant event of the trip was the
boys presentation of my Stetson
hat."
A graduate of Washington State
college, the professor did grad
uate work at Colorado State. He
came to Nebraska in 1932 and
has sponsored the Block and
Bridle and judging team since
then.
Block and Bridle has always
been one of "Alex's", as he is
known to most of his students,
ntt nrnieets. He had a major
part in building the organization
up to what it is today.
Block and Bridle has three
main obioctives. namely: (1) To
promote a higher scholastic
standard among students oi ani
mal husbandry. (2) To promote
animal husbandry. esDecially all
phases of student animal hus-
bandry work in colleges and uni
versities; and (3) to bring a
closer relationship between stu
dents, faculty and others en
gaged in animal husbandry.
Awards
nttainine these ob
jectives is stimulated by awards,
five of which are made by the na
tional chapter and three through
nurh inml rhnDter. Nebraska has
secured one of the national
awards in each of the last two
years. Willard Visek of Ord won
the Merit Trophy Plaque in 1947
and Ned Raun of Minclen won tne
c.nmp honor in 1948. This is pre
sented to the outstanding Block
and Bridle member in tne nauon
each year.
F.nrh vear a lunior team com
petes in the judging contest at
Denver. Alexander's team placed
first hnth last vear and the year
before. The Denver show will be
Jan. 14 this year.

compiled the highest score oi any
competing school at the American
Royal and International shows.

VA Not Cause of
Exam Study Cut
The Veteran's Administration
"doesn't even enter into the pic
ture," declared J. P. Colbert, di
rector of veteran's affairs, when
asked if one reading day before
final examintaions had been cut
out to meet VA requirements.
Th contract with the VA is
one that begins Sept. 15 and
runs continuously through the
second semester to the last day
of final exams in the spring. It
would not be affected.
"Only the feeling of instruc
tors that thev needed the extra
day to finish their courses satis
furtnrilv and close the semester
without loss contributed to the
decision,' reported Dr. Rosenlof,
Ilnivprsitv reeistrar. The Mon-
day-Wedncsday-Friday classes
have already been cut short, and
the faculty committee felt it
would not be advisable to take
another hour from them.
