began with t went y-three onlookers, two pro
fessors, bottles of vaccine, knives and cut
ters, and one squealing pig. The workshop
was under the supervision of Fritschen and
Dr. Alex Hogg.
Hogg, an extension veterinarian for 11
years, was previously a swine practitioner
for 20 years.
Discussion of anemia in pigs was given
by Dr. Hogg as Fritschen held up a pale,
pink piglet. Figs are born with a lack of iron
in their system and are prone to anemia
soon after biith.
A demonstration on locations for iron in
jections was followed by a teeth cutting
demonstration.
Earlier Fritien had discussed his experi
ence with the razor sharp teeth of piglets.

Briefs from NU campuses
EAST CAMPUS - Dermot P. Coyne, a
University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor of
horticulture, has been elected as a Fellow of
the American Association for the Advance
ment of Science.

as Fellows this year.
UNO Several Omaha-area business
persons have been named members of a
newly-formed advisory council for the Uni
versity of Nebraska at Omaha's Center for
Professional and Organizational Develop
ment. CPOD is the continuing education unit of
UN-O's College of Business Administration.
The center develops, promotes, manages
and services non-credit programs in a vari
ety of business areas.
CPOD Director Fred Layberger said the
council was formed to provide two-way
communication between CPOD and the
business community. Members of the advi
sory council will counsel and assist CPOD in
providing community services.
CITY CAMPUS - Hans Mark, deputy di
rector of the National Aeronautics and
Space Adrninistration (NASA), will deliver
the Sixth Frank E. Sorenson Summer Lec
ture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Mark is expected to talk about the NASA
Space Shuttle missions in his July 19 ad
dress. The Sorenson Lecture is an annual sum
mer event at UN-L. The program, which is
open to the public, honors the late Frank
Sorenson, long-time UN-L summer session
director and aerospace pioneer.
CITY CAMPUS - More than 200 aca
demically gifted and talented Nebraska high
school students started two weeks of inten
sive study Sunday at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
A select group of college
and high school teachers will instruct the
students.
The occasion is the Nebraska Scholars
Institute, which planners hope will be a
prototype for an annual event to expand op
portunities for the state's gifted students.
Students from Columbus, Grand Island,
Hastings, Lincoln, Kearney, Millard, Nor
folk, Ralston, Omaha, Scottsbluff, McCook,
Crete, Superior, Fremont, Papillion and
Bellevue will participate.
The Institute is being jointly sponsored
by the Nebraska Center for Excellence in
Education, the University and the State De
partment of Education.
pigs bite me as I was reaching into the
womb to save their lives," he said.
When piglets bite their Ut ter mates their
teeth carry germs and the resulting sores
may become infected. Because of tins most
piglets have their needle teeth cut.
Fritchen said producers sometimes allow
runts to keep their teeth, so tbey can be
more comjx'titive.
When tails are gone a major problem is
solved. "Eighty-five percent of all pigs in the
U.S. have docked tails," Hogg said. Dr. Hogg
explained that the tail is so close to the
spinal chord that infection can cause paraly
sis. He warned that the utmost cleanliness
must be practiced during the docking proce
dure. "Ear knotching serves as identification
for life," said Fritizen. After a demonstra-
Ccr.tir.ved from Page 1
tion of knoteWng there was a castrating
demonstration.
The women worked in groups with pig
lets from farrowing crates and practiced
the skills taught. "1 don't know who was
more nervous, me or the pig," said Cynthia
Boyd.
Mrs. Boyd, Lexington, is also a Mary Kay
cosmetics representative.
"It's easier to learn from patient work
shop instructors than it is from my hus
band," said Linda Lutz, Papillion.
Marilyn Caldwell, Lincoln, said she was
glad to hear that "women are actually bet
ter suited to this profession than men."
Instructors noted that women have
smaller hands and are more gentle when
handling farrowing sows.

Volunteering decreases during summer months
BY JOANNE YOUNG
Volunteering can be challenging, fun and
an experience for your resume, according to
those who make their living registering vol
unteers. An agency in Lincoln places volunteers
in a "job" to match personal interests and
the time to invest in an agency or individual.
It's called the Volunteer Bureau.
The Volunteer Bureau is similar to an
employment agency.
A person at the bureau, usually a volun
teer, will take an application, conduct a
short interview, and tell the volunteer what
is available, said Karen Walter, director of
the bureau.
The whole process takes about 20 min
utes, she said.
A variety of jobs are available in the Lin
coln area, she said, short and long-term
work, lasting for one day, or up to a year or
longer.
The average time a volunteer stays at
one job, she said, is three months, usually
working about two hours a week.
"Short term work," she said, "would be
working at the children's zoo on the 4th of
July, cleaning up after the celebration at
Holmes Lake on July 5th, or painting a
house for an elderly or low-income person."
During the summer, volunteers can mow
lawns, teach swimming, or work in a recrea
tional programs, Ms. Walter said. About

able, she said, from short-term clerical work
to helping youth.
Ms. Walter said 447 students registered
with the Volunteer Bureau in 1982. Not all
were University of Nebraska-Lincoln stu
dents, she said.
People volunteer for a variety of reasons,
she said, but students usually choose some
thing in their career field.
"But we don't see a lot of university stu
dents in the summer," Ms. Walter said.
She said July is usually the slowest
month for registrations.
The Volunteer Bureau lists current vol
unteer job openings each week in the Sun
day Journal-Star. The office is in the Lincoln
Center building, 215 S. 15th St. The phone
number is 474-6218.
