Club focuses on animal science
By Joyce Pacula
The Block and Bridle club, an East Campus animal
science group, has the largest club membership on campus
with about 300 members, a former member said.
The club does not concentrate on any one part of
animal science, but instead deals with the industry as a
whole, said Kevin Woltemath. East Campus livestock ma
nager. One of Block and Bridle's main projects is to have the
present livestock-judging pavilion torn down and a new
one built, Woltemath said. The new building would be
added on to the animal science headquarters in Marvel
Baker Hall and would house classrooms, labs, staff offices
and a show arena.
The only thing stopping the project is the university
budget, he said. Therefore, the members of the club are
working with state legislators to get support to make the
new building a reality.
The club sponsors many activities that are open to
UNL students and the public.
The best activity is an academic quadrathalon, Wolte
math said. This consists of a team of four people working
together on four parts of the contest: written exam,
quiz bowl, practical lab and an oral presentation. The
subject is animal science and the overall team winner is
sent to a national meet by the club to compete.
The club also sponsors open horse and beef shows.
Individuals show livestock and are judged on how they
perform. Contestants compete in either the expert or
novice classes.
The club also co-sponsors a dance with the Little Ak
sarben. A live band performs and a Block and Bridle
Queen is crowned. The queen is a junior selected by club
members. The dance is . open to the public for a small
admission.
The club also sells hams to raise money. Part of the
money is used to pay for a trophy given to the Future
Farmers of America chapter that has the top livestock
exhibit at the State Fair each year. Other expenses
covered or defrayed by the club are spring tours, national
conventions and contest expenses.
Center provides help for job seekers
Although current unemployment rates may be dis
couraging to college students looking for jobs, the director
of the UNL Career Planning and. Placement Center said
his office is doing as much as possible to assist them.
"We want to give all the support we can " center
director Frank Hallgren said. "We do not actually place
anybody. We're a supportive service. We arrange for
interviews, counseling and give information."
An information packet distributed at the center's
orientation meeting Thursday said that the center
"provides individual and group counseling, arranges for
on-campus interviews with prospective employers in
the fall and spring, and administers the bulk of graduate
and professional school tests."
The center also has a library and a reading room
with information on employers, graduate schools and
career areas, as well as a listing of employers who have
job openings.
Hallgren expects the number of new registrants at
his office to be about the same as last year, with some
1 ,000 students applying, he said.
"The bulk of the people we see are seniors. I suspect
that the people who are actively seeking employment
may use us more this year," he said.

Time runs short
for photo contest
Less than two weeks remain to submit entries for
the Capitol's Golden Anniversary Photo Contest. The
contest is being sponsored by the building's 50th
Anniversary Committee.
State Administrative Services Director Don Sten
berg said that the deadline for entering photos is
Wednesday. The winners will be announced by Nov. 15.
Stenberg said a good number of photos have been
received in the contest, but color slides and photos from
past years and photos of events are still being sought.
Photos of the Capitol or events surrounding the Capitol
can be entered in the amateurs-only contest, Joe Ayers
of the Department of Administrative Services, said.
"This is a good chance for students to get some
recognition for their work. The winning photos will be
displayed on the fifth floor art display gallery. This
gallery was opened this year and will have permanent
art displays," Ayers said.
Entrants must put their name and address on the
photo. If they want the photo returned, they should
include a stamped, self-addressed envelope, Ayers said.

are "career oriented, from the business, and engineering
schools, mostly."
The office does not work with teacher placement
or similar careers that are handled through then
respective colleges, he said.
"We anticipate this to be one of the most difficult
years for employment of college graduates," Hallgren
said at the orientation. "Those to be employed will have
to put forth a great deal of effort."
Seniors should start looking for. jobs at the start ot
the school year becuase "it is very important to explore
all possibilities, and this often takes a great deal of time,"
he said.
Job seekers should obtain as much information as
possible from all available sources, he said, including the
placement center in Nebraska Union 230.
"There's no standard way of finding employment.
Students should use many means - friends, family
sources, etc.," he said.
The final burden of finding a job ultimately rests
on the student, he said.
'They have the responsibility to know what they
ared what they want," he said.
