Schuelke said. “If there’s a big wind I kind of have to hold on.” New process whitens dark meat JL By Virginia Newton Staff Reporter A new process lo whiten dark poultry meat has been developed by Glenn Froning, a food science and technology professor at the Uni versity of Ncbraska-Lin^oln. The process begins with the dcboning of the poultry carcass by hand. One part meal to three parts washing solution are mixed in a centrifu gal spinning and separation process, which whitens the dark poultry meat. The mixture then is spun three times. Excess fat is drained and can later be used for broth flavoring or weight-gain products. “Eighty-seven percent of the fat is taken out, which is attractive to those looking to cat healthier,” Froning said. Froning began his research on the whitening process about four years ago when he discov ered that the value of an undesirable product, dark poultry meal, could be increased. Froning said he also was interested in develop ing an economical alternative to white poultry meat. Dark poultry, such as the wing, back, thigh, neck and drumstick, can be whitened and proc essed into items such as meat patties, frankfurt ers, turkey or chicken roast and salami, he said. “We’re always looking for ways to modify and add value to the meat,” Froning said. The department borrowed the idea called Surimi (white-washing) from the Japanese fish ing industry, Froning said. Surimi is the proc ess of taking lower value fish and upgrading it by washing, then making products such as imitation crab meat. “We do similar things with poultry and call it Surimi-like,” he said. Rosowski Continued from Page 1 involved with various other Cather activities. Next semester, Rosowski will apply her expertise when she teaches an honor seminar that concentrates on Cather. “There’s nothing quitft=SQ exciting as the luxury of devoting a semester with others who are interested in a writer to exploring that writer’s work,” she said. “That is certainly the case with seminars on Cather.” This semester, Rosowski is teaching Major American Authors 233 and a graduate seminar, Introduction to Literary Scholarship 990. Her teaching has earned her recognition at both UNL and UNO, and she recently became the first Adclc Hall distinguished professor. However, Rosovyski said she doesn’t think her teaching methods differ from those of other teachers. “My method is to explore with the students the kinds of questions they have about the literature, and the kinds of questions I have about the literature,” Rosowski said. Rosowski said she hopes students will make the literature their own. “We hope ... they’ll strike up a personal re lationship between themselves and the litera ture they’re reading,” she said. Still, no matter how much she leaches, the subject remains full of surprises for Rosowski. “I’ve been working with Cather for two decades now, and even so, she continues to surprise me and seem fresh,” she said. JN ight escort program restarted by RHA From Staff Reports ______ A proposed service to escort students at night on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campuses will become a reality when adver tisements for the system are posted this week. The UNL Residence Hall Association voted Sunday night to restart the service, which was cancelled last year because of infrequent use. Wil Snider, chairman for residential en hancement, said tentative hours for the service will be from 6 p.m. to midnight. A S250 start-up budget will be used for advertisements, pagers and possibly T-shirts to identify the escorts. The pagers will allow the escorts to be “on call” at home, instead of requiring them to be at the RHA office. The campuswidc service may extend a few blocks off campus for students who work near campus, Snider said. APPLE COMPUTER FAIR New Product Introduction ___,___ .— ■ ..— ■ . .. Law Continued from Page 1 students,” he said. “We thought it made sense in regards to the few minorities we have in the law college.” Perlman said non-minority students arc placed in their first-year classes randomly. Minority students, however, are grouped together on the basis of race. For example, all African-American students arc placed together, all Asian students are placed together, and all Hispanic students arc placed together in their courses. “The study of law cannot be done in an isolated circumstance,” Perlman said. “We made the judgment that with the few minority stu dents we have, that they should have a minor level of support.” Perlman said he does not think there was anything wrong with the practice. “I don’t think it’s illegal,” he said. “It seems clear to me that in cases that exist some race preferential programs— people given a prefer ence on the basis of race — arc suspect, and some arc not. “I’m not giving anyone a preference.” The Law College was auempiing lo help minority students, Perlman said. Law courses arc set for the rest of the year, Perlman said, but the college will review the practice at the end of that lime. “I plan to continue to look at it to sec if it accomplishes its purposes without undue costs.” Shirl Mora James, a third-year law student and senior adviser to the multicultural legal society, a student law group, said she supports the practice. James said that during her first two years of law school, no other minority students were in her classes. “Whenever 1 had lo speak up on something 1 thought was racist, I was there alone,” she * said. “I did speak up. But you still feel the isolation.” James said she thinks minority students need to be given as much consideration as white students. “When we’re in class,” she said, “we arc there to get an education, to get a law degree, not to educate white students. “What’s the difference if nine black stu dents arc placed together?” |--NEWS BRIEFS Russian TV anchor to speak at Lied Boris Noikin, anchorman lor ihc Russian television program “Good Evening Moscow,” will speak Wednesday as part of the E.N.
