Car/ in the hat
Barry Schuelke, 59, said he doesn’t wear his favorite hat every day he rides the bus downtown for coffee. “I wear
this hat once in a while and people look at me and I bet they wonder, Where in the hell did he get that hat? 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.

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.

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?”
