ore women enter Ag College
By John f.!2nnick
The number of women enrolled in UNL's College of
Agriculture has increased almost five times since 1973,
according to Thomas Helms, assistant dean of the college.
Helms cli 227 of the 1,610 agriculture majors are
women. In 1973, there were only 56 women agriculture
majors. Helms said the increase in women students began
in 1972. ,
"Women are not reluctant to fiH traditionally men's
roles anymore. The job market end people Y attitudes
toward women have changed," he said.
Many firms involved in agriculture are looking for
women, he added.
There have always been a few talented women in the
college and these women have been able to overcome the
barriers of a male-oriented area."
Helms said the women students are scattered through
out the college, but most study in the fields of animal
science, horticulture, natural resources and veterinary
science.
The greatest per cent of our women students are
from Nebraska. Most of the students at the university
are from Nebraska. There are few out-of-state students
here,"he said.

Hdms laid the College of Agriculture has had an
overall increase of 409 students in the past five years.
This increase has caused no proportional increase in fac
ulty and a normal number of new courses, he said.
1 don't see any future decrease in agriculture students.
As long as we are an applied college, we won't have any
drastic enrollment cuts."
Helms said he sees some problems in the future for
women finding jobs in agriculture related areas.
"Women who make it into veterinary school will have
no problem finding jobs, but horticulture is a very tight
area even for men," he said.
Helms said a recent woman graduate of the college
now is working in. a bank's farm loan department.
Another woman is a sofl scientist and one is running her
family's ranch.
The job market is not as good for women as for men in
agriculture, but someone who wants a job will get one,
he said.
This idea of women entering traditional men's jobs
is being beaten into the ground. The main thing is the per
son must realize he can compete in this world .
"If a woman is qualified for a job, she must be will
ing to face the possible barriers she might meet," he
said. .
