Judges to international 'meet'
Meat judging it's not a feminist's
view of a beauty pageant, it's a group of
students who grade cuts of beef, pork
and lamb.
A team of four UNL students will
compete in Madison, Wise, Dec. 3, at
the International meat judging
competition.
The four contestants are Peg Karl
berg, Dave Lamb, Dick Wilson and John
Nelson.
Meat judging is an animal science
course that students can take at UNL
and, if they enjoy the 'jourse, may
continue on in the club, practicing on
Saturdays and Tuesday and Thursday
evenings.
Students are taught how to grade
carcasses and cuts of retail meats for
quality and yield grade, No. 1 being lean
and No. 5 being fatty.
"It's a good background for any
agriculture student," said Jim Wise, an
animal science teacher who coaches the
C"".S
team. "Some of the students use it to go
back to farming or go into the packing
industry."
Students in competition are judged on
how their rating of meats compares with
a team of experts. So far the team has
won a second, a third and a first place at
four previous competitions. Prizes
include placques and trophies.
Junior Dick Wilson has been rated the
top individual meat judge at two of the
competitions.
"Being in the competition opens up
all sorts of avenues for me," Wilson
said. "From here I can go into farming,
work with government inspection, pack
ing plants or just use it as background
for something else. It's been more than
valuable."
The club is financed by a grant from
Ak-Sar-Ben, an Omaha-based service
organization, but what it doesn't cover
(mainly traveling expenses) the stu
dents pay out of their own pocket,
according to Wise.
Teaching practiced
By Paula Damke
Educational Psychology 261 students are finding out
this semester whether or not they're cut out to be
teachers.
Through practice teaching at Belmont and Hunting
ton Elementary Schools, students at the sophomore
level have the opportunity to work with children in
classroom situations prior to their senior year student
teaching.
Tony Sciara, one of the instructors, said the purpose
of having his students teach at Huntington school is to
give them practical experience in the field of teaching.
The Huntington teaching is optional. Instead, Sciara
said, students may work at day care centers, youth
centers or somewhere in the community, "just ss long
as they work with kids."
Sciara's students are working with kindergarten
through sixth graders at Huntington.
Students design projects
He said students design the projects they do with the
students. They work with the classroom teachers and
the students in completion of their projects.
Marilyn Adkisson, a sophomore in Sciara's class,
said she is doing her project on reading at the third
grade level.
All of Sciara's students are required to write a paper
explaining their projects and what they have learned
from the teaching.
Only eight of Paul Weinstein's 36 students are
teaching at Belmont School.
He said this is because only one-third of his students
are elementary education majors and the other
two-thirds are secondary education majors.
He added the secondary education majors are using
fraternities, sororities, and the YMCA for their
projects.
'Work with people' required
Ail of Weinstein's students are required to do a final
independent project in which they are "working with
people," he said.
Gail Roemich, who has Pat Stebbines as an
instructor, said her project at Belmont is one of
observation of third graders.
She said she is observing the students and trying to
find out what level of learning they are in.
Roemich said Stebbines' students were given the
option of teaching at Belmont or doing a project on
behavior modification.
Sciara' said from feedback he has received, students
in his classes feel the practice teaching is worthwhile
and should be continued in future 261 classes.
