THE BATTALION THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1981 Page 5 A&M team horses around BY LAURA LARSON The five-member Texas A&M Horse Judging Team placed first in the performance division of the All-American Quarter Horse Con gress judging contest Monday in Columbus, Ohio. The team rank ed sixth out of 27 intercollegiate teams in the overall contest. Tim Potter, a junior animal sci ence major from College Station, was the top individual winner in the performance division. Each team member was re quired to judge six halter and four performance classes, then defend their placings on five of the classes overall. Each class consisted of four horses which the students ranked from most to least desirable. In halter classes, each horse was pre sented by moving the animals with a lead rope. Working ability under a saddle was demonstrated in performance classes. Team members explained their rankings of a specific class under a two- minute time limit in the defense competition. “The performance division of the contest was exceptional, ” Dr. Gary Potter, the team coach, said. “Our students had an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their ability. “I have had students who were afraid to talk to me before their judging team work. I believe that teaching students to back their de cisions with oral reasons has signi ficant impact on their self—confi dence.” Team members Potter, Scott Bagley, Jane Brueggestrass, David Holsford and Molly Petersen — all animal science ma jors. They will also enter the In ternational Arabian Judging Con test in Albuquerque, N.M., Fri day. The same format will be used for that competition. Potter, Bagley, Holsford, Petersen and six other Aggies will represent Texas A&M in the judg ing contest at the World Cham pionship Quarter Horse Show in Oklahoma City, Nov. 20. Brueg gestrass competed last year and therefore is ineligible this year. To become a member of the horse judging team, students must enroll in animal science 316 in the spring and attend judging practices the following fall. mm THE STORE WORTH LOOKING FOR!! n Carl Bussell, left, and Mrs. Kirby Smith, ain the Helping Hands to their children. campus sBOOsfe le-relal 00 cadet; e as ofr t Mark icrates! servess merclia!( ipus for onet in t of tk researct Staff photo by Colin Valentine Betsy and Kevin.

At school, the teachers stress that a house marked by the help ing hands is a safe place. The chil dren are encouraged to go the house if they are sick, lost, chased by a dog or followed by a stranger. If they can scream or run, they can get to someone for help, be cause people throughout the neighborhood are participating in the program, Haislet said. In Victoria, where the Helping Hands program is used at all pub lic schools, a kidnapping hasn’t occured in three years. Bobbie Guinn, president of the Victoria Safety Council, said that before the program began, a kidnapping occured about once a year. The program also has served as a crime preventive measure, she said. “The hands in the window band neighborhoods together and act as a deterrent to crime,” she said. “It makes people aware of each other.” CUSTOM SOUNDS Anniversary Sale Continues with...
