MllllllllM Exchange students study agriculture By Stacie Renner Staff Reporter After working with an exchange program involving French students, Don Edwards thinks he might have to go back to school. “If we are going to continue this program' I need to learn to speak better French,” said Edwards, dean of the College of Agricultural Sci ences and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Edwards has so far had few diffi culties communicating with fourteen students visiting UNL’s East Cam pus from France’s Dijon University. The college is in its second year with the program. UNL students will spend two weeks in Dijon in May, following the Dijon students’ seven days in Nebraska. “We are here to see a little bit about your way of education at the university,” said Jeanne Meurtaux, who is working toward the equiva lent of a master’s degree in farm systems in Dijon. The French students are studying agriculture in areas such as farm sys tems, economics and food industry. The group is visiting sites such as the UNL Animal Research Center in Clay Center, a meat processing plant and seminars focusing on Nebraska beef, industry and water quality. “For those subjects, you could probably not pick a better spot to study,” Edwards said. Agriculture in France is similar to Nebraska’s cereal grains, vegetables and livestock. “The difference is in how we grow, not what,” Meurtaux said. Though the products may be the same, Meurtaux said the farmers’ outlooks on agriculture were differ ent. French farmers treat agriculture with high respect, she said. “It’s an old tradition,” she said. “The economy is based on a good agriculture in many areas. We have to preserve agriculture.” The French students also are learn ing about American culture and Ne braska hospitality. Karma Magnuson, a junior envi ronmental studies major, has two of the students from Dijon staying with her in Love Hall. She said she has learned about the value that the French place on their educational system and agriculture. “It’s fascinating to me,” Magnuson said. “I’ve never learned this much about their educational system.” The French students said Nebraska has some of the best hospitality they had ever experienced, Edwards said. “It’s amazing the personal ties that are made in such a short time,” Edwards said. “There will be tears shed as they leave Friday.” The hospitality greatly impressed Meurtaux. “The people are very friendly,” she said. “People that have some thing to explain to us speak slowly and make efforts to communicate.” But Meurtaux said she also was interested in American food. Magnuson said they were fascinated with the tortillas at Taco Bell. Meurtaux also noticed the depen dence on cars. In France, the public transportation system is more widely used. The group plans to stop at the UNL Intercollegiate Rodeo before leaving Friday. MASA celebrates week through education and fun By Rebecca Oltmans Staff Reporter This week marks both the 25th anniversary of the Mexican Ameri can Student Association and Chicano Awareness Week. Activities planned for the week help celebrate both anniversarie&j^said Misty Calleroz, chairwoman of Chicano Awareness Week. The purpose of the week is both to unify Hispanic students with their community and to educate other races about the Hispanic culture, Calleroz said. Thursday’s first activity is a high school recruitment day, with 50 to 60 high school students attending. The students will receive a tour of cam pus led by UNL Hispanic students and employees. At the end of the day students can ask a MASA panel ques tions. Recruitment day helps students receive a more realistic view of the Lincoln Hispanic community and the atmosphere toward that community on campus, Calleroz said. “It’s not a glossed-over view,” Calleroz said. “Sometimes that’s a harsh real ity,” she said. “But students can use it in a productive way.” Thursday evening, nationally known musician Jesus “Chuy” Negrete will present “500 Years of Mexican Folk Songs” in the Cristo Rey Center from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. An enchilada feed with homemade Mexican food will be in the ballroom of the Nebraska Union Friday. Ana Riojas, president of Riojas Enter prises, will speak. The week will wind up with a dance at 1st Avenue, 2310 N. 1st St., Saturday night. The group Eclipse will play from 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Cost is $3 to UNL students with ID, $5 for the public. A mini-conference, a black-and white film festival showing clips from the Mexican American War, and a low rider model car contest started out the week. Calleroz said that although turn out was a little low, people were more aware of the week and its ac tivities than in any year past. GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO HIGH-TECH. Look in the mirror.
