A crowd of about 60 UNL minority students marched through
downtown Lincoln Friday with costumes, chants and signs to protest
the celebration of Columbus Day. The protest, led by black, Indian,
Chicano and white students, began at the State Historical Society
museum. Protestors called the holiday "absurd" and a history book
myth that should be changed. See story and photo;, Pago 3.

Two doctors at the University of
Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in
Omaha will be forced to stop

the two UNMC physicians to full-time
status and under strinuent rules
prohibiting outside abortion practice
resulted in considerable private
discussion.

Goose lays golden egg for
or
r r rYi r rr
By Vince Boucher
For UNL sophomore Steve Leth, a goose; truly
laid a golden egg.
Leth was awarded a $1,000 savings bond when he
became the world's goose calling champion in
competition at Missouri Valley, Iowa, Sept. 29 and
30.
Leth placed first in the senior men's division,
which is open to men above' age 1G He captured top
honors in a field of about 40 final contestants,
ranging in age from 16 to GO.
"People are kind of curious-they can't
comprehend what it's all about," Leth said of his
hobby. He became interested in goose calling through
his interest in hunting and family background.
Lyle Leth, Steve's father, was the 19G3 goose
calling champion. Young Leth has been practicing
since about age seven, he said. He also took the junior
division championship in 1 965.
"I just grew up with it and picked up a lot of tips
from people around home," he said. He is from St.
Paul, Nebr., and hunts as often as he can take time
away from the campus.
Leth said he enjoyed the uniqueness of goose
calling. He also finds it funny that "you don't always
know what you are 'saying' to the goose."
Goosi; calling is done by foicing air through a
pipe-like apparatus which surrounds a reed.
"It's sort of like playing an instrument -it takes
time to catch on to it," he said.
In the world competition, sponsoied by the
Missouri Valley jaycees, Leth called three' species of
geese. He said the1 first, the Canada goose', has "a low,
base honking sound."
The second was the snow or blue' goose which nas
"a high, -.en f.fiy sound," he sael. TL- lost type war.
lie' r. hit. -hoot goose, whi I) h is a men - iM'i.s.lt
Calls during the competition were judged on
timing, rhythm, and sound, Leth said. One hundred
points are allotted to each call. Leth's winning score
was 436, as some of the calls were repeated during
the competition.
Leth said goose calling is very effective in
attracting geese during hunting. He has been called
upon by several spor tsmen's groups to speak on the
skill
of
Lelh sad oat of toe rha'icnnc '-s the vaiieiv
goose i, ails. II'- ;cts leased occasional ,i!n.u' !
hobby "p ople col 1 me goose and quack and stuff
like that"- but everyone is always leally inteiested.
Next, ycni leth will have to compete again as the
defending champion. He automatically will be pl.cd
in the finols of the' competition.
