After the three and -a -half rrile horseback ride from East Campus, the students wl announce the weeki plans and the 10th annual intercollegiate rodeo April 8-9 in the Nebraska State Fairgrounds Coliseum, As many as 300 contestants from the 21 colleges representing the seven-state Great Haas Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association are expected to enter the event, according to Jim Gocke, a junior from Waco, and UNRA publicity chairman, , Three rodeo performances are scheduled, he said, with qualifying rounds Friday at 8 pjn. and Saturday at 1 :30 p.m. The finals will begin Saturday at 7:45 pan. Special guest at the rodeo, which will kick off the week of special events, will be Walt Garrison, former running back for the Dallas Cowboys.

Women will compete in goat tying, barrel racing and breakaway roping. South Dakota State University won the max all around title while the University of Wisconsin at River Falls captured the women's crown at last year's rodeo. Funds raised from ticket sales are used to finance the rodeo team's travel expenses to other rodeos, and other expenses, Gocke said. About $2400 was grossed from last year's event by UNRA but only about half of that was saved after subtracting costs, he said, Gocke said the Saturday right finals will be televised live from 7:30 to 10:30 pan. by all stations of the Neb raska Educational Television Network. Any UNL student will have a chance to join one of the 10 three-man teams for the open university wide cow ride, which will be featured during the two preceding shows, A special feature Saturday night will be a cow ride' for UNL staff and faculty members, media representatives and others. About 30 UNRA members may participate in the ro deo, because no limit on entries is placed on the host team, he said. VOC-BQ tGBChO rs in shorts apply For the twenty-fifth year in a row, there are not tt.ough agriculture education majors graduating from UNL to fill vocational-agricultural teaching vacancies in Nebraska, according tp agricultural education instructor Wayne Oberg. However, he said he hoped the situation would correct itself in three to five years. Though he said he sees no immediate solution, he hopes that by making high school students and college freshmen and sophomores more aware of the program, there will be an increase in voc-ag teachers within five years at the most We hope to make people aware of the employment opportunities available with such a major," he said. ""We're considering some kind of recruitment, possibly. At the end of five years, I hope well be able to supply all the schools in the state with the number of voc-ag teachers they want." He said none of the other state colleges have an agri culture education program, so UNL has been the only school in Nebraska that supplies such teachers. Presently, Oberg said, only 37 per cent of the WO TS graduates in the field of agricultural education have entered the teaching profession, while 29 per cent went into farming or ranching and 20 per cent went into some branch of agri-business. He added that salary was very much a factor in determining whether agriculture educa tion majors would teach or go into business. First year voc-ag teachers earn about $11,000, while agri businessmen often have the opportunity to earn more. There are 135 voc-ag teachers and about 375 high schools in Nebraska. There are only a couple of voc-ag programs left in Omaha and most existing programs are in smaller communities. 1 know of 10-15 schools that want to begin voc-ag programs, but can't because of the lack of qualified teachers available," Ob erg said .
