who use it to meet their langiae requirement after taking
two semesters of regular lansS6 courses.

before regular language courses as an introduction to
modem languages and "cultures.

the course to fulfill language requirements, and he will
not try to prevent them from taking it after regular
language courses.

The UNL Agronomy Club has won the national
achievement award for the fourth consecutive year at the
American Society of Agronomy (ASA) ancud meeting in
Houston this month.
Tins is the first time a university agronomy club has
attained the top national ranking four years in a row.
Of an estimated 43 to 45 student clubs represented at
the conference, only the top six clubs entered the national
achievement award competition, according to B21 Siefert,
UNL Agronomy Club president. Siefert was elected presi
dent of the student section of ASA.
Clubs in cmnpet it ion for the national award are judged
by club activities, participation and contributions to the
national newsletter. Siefert said. The club activities are
summarized in a book that cadi club assembles and sub
mils to the judges.
Hie first place club receives a SI 00 cash award, which
is donated annually by Mr. and Mrs. William Colwcll of
Chadron. said Agronomy Prof. Lowell Moser. an Agron
omy Cub adviser. Moser attributed the club's success to
the cooperation and involvement of its members.
"Because of good leadership and, more importantly, a
tot of students who have worked together, the club has
put together a well-rounded program which other stu
dents in the nation may not have been able to do,"" he
said. According to Siefert, there "was less participation this
year than in recent years at the Houston conference.
Siefert estimated that 60 to 65 Agronomy Club mem
bers are active in recreational, educational and promo
tional activities. Any student who has taken at least one
agronomy course is eligible for membership, he said.
