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 Tuition . . . (Con't from Page 2) will pay the price the col leges set . . . "Most American families borrow for cars, television, the houses they live in, and many borrow for travel. But apparently they do not feci 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. CANOE TRIPS .

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. '4 SOMcltftlG. 0 A This Week In The Union High Schoolers Invade Again By Bill Harding This is it!
