Battalion/Page 3 April 16, 1982 local Saddle and Sirloin to hold stock show by Brenda Davidson Battalion Reporter Students will have a chance to prove their showmanship Satur day at the Little Southwestern Livestock Show. The show, sponsored by the Saddle and Sirloin Club, will be gin at 7 a.m. at the Swine Center. A sheep, horse and cattle show will follow at each livestock center. Finally, the grand and re serve champions of each species will compete in the Champion ship Drive. The finalists will show every specie of livestock for the Little Southwestern Champion Showman. Contestants are judged on their showmanship ability rather than the quality of animal they are showing, Scott Coca- nougher, chairman of Little Southwestern, said. Each year, contestants draw for animals and prepare them for the show. They choose a pig, sheep, horse or calf and work from one to three weeks groom ing and training the animal to show. Individuals and agricultu ral businesses donate trophies to the winners, he said. “The purpose of Little South western is to give students an opportunity to practice what is taught in the classroom,” Coca- nougher said. The students are responsible for their animals and learn how to manage lives tock by working with them.” ‘Texas Artist of the Year’ displays paintings in MSG U week.

The artist, James Johnson, is a Texas A&M veterinary medi cine graduate. His exhibit is ti tled “Good for All Seasons” after his painting of an American black and a tan hunting dog. The exhibit, consisting of paintings of sporting dogs and wildlife, is sponsored by MSC Arts Committee and the Asso ciation of Former Students. “I enjoyed raising dogs and working with animals as well as painting,” said Johnson, who took up painting as a hobby 10 years ago. “It was a hobby for a couple of years; in 1978 it became a full time job.” Members of the Texas State Art Committee, made of nine elected members from the Texas Senate, nominate and select the Texas State Artist of the Year. equalSecond language helps draw om let jobs by Kelli Proctor Battalion Reporter :d, instead of a r 1<)re '^ n ■ j .u . u nr.iv be a l)it> fat tor m |ol) plate- umed thatsht' ff n( j n | M)t |, ,i ie p u j tc d States i was not consu ;M C | jbvoad. savs Dr. .Anne Lim it's her problem 1^, ,|, e head of the Depatt- uch conscientious^,.nf of Modern Languages, ten in this concettH neglected; it jjlmquist said Spanish is re- iuraged to appti|uired primarilv in the South- in order to everkttftsi.

Elmquist has found jobs for graduates from Texas to Europe. “Graduates are placed all over the world, primarily in the more underdeveloped coun tries,” she said. The majority of Texas A&M graduates who find work abroad are agriculture and business graduates, Elmquist said. A foreign language helps the agriculture graduate obtain jobs in sales or any agri-business re lated job, she said. For the business graduate with a foreign language, jobs can be found in banking, marketing and import-export corporations abroad and in the United Stales, Elmquist said. The language most widely used and needed, especially by scientists, is Russian, Elmquist said. “Russian gives more of a tech nological advantage,” she said. Research reports and mate rial used for information pur poses in any technical field are printed in Russian. If a student has a technical job in mind, Rus sian is recommended, Elmquist said. Dr. Wulf Koepke, professor of German, said the majority of students take foreign languages as an elective with a specific area of work in mind. Many medical students take Latin to learn the terminology and definitions of medical Latin terms, Koepke said. The Department of Modern Languages offers Czech, French, German, Latin, Russian and Spanish.
