FOR THE POSITION OF: GRAIN MERCHANDISER
Imagine an environment where a dozen people arc talking at
once, phones are ringing constantly, and you're carrying on three
simultaneous conversations. If you’re the sort of person who can
thrive in such an environment, let us welcome you to the world of
grain trading, where you'll spend much of your day on the tele
phone, talking with elevator managers, buying and selling cash
grain, and arranging for the transportation of grain.
During this 6-10 month training program, you'll spend time at
our Decatur headquarters, a processing plant, our traffic and trans
portation department, a country elevator, a river terminal, our
accounting department, and on the floor of the Chicago Board of
Trade. Afterwards, you'll lake a trading position in either our grain
division or our processing division. Advancement opportunities arc
excellent: many ADM managers, as well as the president of the
grain division started as merchandisers.

NU women work to avenge loss
By Mitch Sherman
Staff Reporter
In order to begin the season 2-0, the
Nebraska women’s gymnastics team
will have to win a meet it couldn’t pull
out last season.
The Comhuskers, who defeated
Illinois 185.2-181.75 last Saturday in
Champaign, 111., take on Southeast
Missouri State at 7 p.m. Saturday in
the Bob Devaney Sports Center main
arena.
Last year, the Huskers lost to the
Otahkians 191.5 to 191.15 in Cape
Giradeau, Mo.
Last year’s meet would provide
incentive for the team, coach Dan
Kendig said, but cause no change in
the preparation.
“It’s not like football or basketball
where you go out and plan a strategy
around what the other team does,”
Kendig said. “They talked about (last
year’s loss) a little bit this week. But
you don’t change your strategy. All
you can do is go out and hit your

routines.
“In some ways, it will provide some
incentive, though, for the girls who
were here last year.”
It was the women who were not on
the team last year that provided the
knockout punch in Champaign, 111.,
last week. Freshman Shelly Bartlett
won the uneven bars with a score of
9.65 and freshman Kim DeHaan placed
second in the all-around with a score
of 36.925.
“That was kind of a surprise,”
Kendig said. “But they’ve been doing
real good in the gym all season, and
we loiew we could do it. It was just a
matter of getting them out there in a
meet.”
Junior Jennifer Hawkinson won the
vault last week with a score of 9.75
and junior Kristi Camp captured the
uneven bars by scoring 9.6. Kendig
said the Huskers have worked out
some kinks this week in practice and
will be ready for Saturday.
‘‘Hopefully, we’ll see some of the
improvement from this week during
the meet,” he said. “And I think we can
keep improving all year. (Southeast
Missouri State) scored a 187 last week
and we got a 185, so it should be a
good meet.”
Yedsena adjusting to young team
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter
For the first time in her Nebraska
career, Meggan Yedsena is playing
with unfamiliar faces.
The senior guard from Mahanoy
City, Pa., played alongside upperclass
students during her first three years on
the Nebraska women’s basketball
team, but this season, Yedsena and
Nebraska’s only other senior, Nafeesah
Brown, are surrounded by youth.
Along with the two seniors, the
Huskers’ roster is filled with six soph
omores and six freshmen.
. “When I was a newcomer here, I
was surrounded by upperclassmen,”
Yedsena said. “Actually, I’ve always
been surrounded by upperclassmen,
even last year. Now I’m surrounded
by a lot of underclassmen, and it’s
different. I feel like a lot of times the
team chemistry just isn’t there.
Yedsena said overcoming the prob
lems that came with helping teach
young players might be one of the
toughest challenges of her career at
Nebraska.
“It has been frustrating, but also
exciting,” she said. “I might get on the
underclassmen too much or get on
them at times I shouldn’t. I have to
realize that they don’t have the expe
rience that thejxople I’ve played with
in the past have had.
“Then again, it is exciting when we
go to Oklahoma and only lose by one
point. It’s exciting when we do those
things that aren’t expected of us.”
Yedsena, who is Nebraska’s all
time assist leader and ranks second in
career steals, said the Huskers’ inex
perience was most obvious in close
games.
“We need to learn how to win and
how to keep a lead,” she said. “That
comes with experience. We just have
to keep our heads and learn how to

keep a lead.’
With Nebraska’s 1-3 start in the
Big Eight, Yedsena said the Huskers
might play a much different role than
last year, when they finished as con
ference runner-up.
“We feel like we can be a spoiler
right now,” she said. “It might be kind
of out of reach to win the conference,
but we know anything can happen.’

a great player, and he’s a great kid,
too. We think he can contribute well at
Nebraska.”
McFarlin will try to fit into an
experienced secondary, led by Barron
Miles and Tyrone Williams. Five of
Nebraska’s top eight defensive backs
will return next season.
In addition to the 10 high school
athletes, Nebraska has also received
commitments from baseball player
Darin Erstad, who will lack, and Ari
zona State transfer John Livingston.
The Huskers have 13 scholarships re
maining this year.
Although the class has been slow in
committing, recruiting coordinator
Dave Gillespie said, it appears to be
developing nicely.
“It’s not quite the same in terms of
numbers,” Gillespie said. “But we’re
' still waiting on a number of very good
players. Things just kind of broke
down a little different this year.”
Gillespie said Nebraska expects 11
or 12 athletes to visit the campus this
J weekend.

78-58 rout.
Beck said she was hoping for a
replay of her team’s performance
against Kansas State and not Kansas.
“We’re going to have to get more
mentally focused going into this week
end,” she said. “We did not play on the
aggressive against Kansas. We have
three good perimeter shooters, and
they have to shoot like they did against
Kansas State to open up the inside
game.”
Beck said Nebraska would get its
biggest test against Colorado, the de
fending conference champs.
“We’re optimistic as an underdog
to go in there and surprise them a bit,”
she said. “We play a lot looser and
harder as an underdog. They have a
great tradition and they’ll be tough at
home. You always want to keep their
crowd out of the game.
“We just have to try to keep it close.
If we can shoot better from the floor
and get some confidence in our shots,
we can give them a game.”
In the least, Beck said, Nebraska
will benefit from the tough games.
