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.”

Eighteen paintings by the
Texas State Artist of the Year
will be on display in the Forsyth
Alumni Center in the Memorial
Student Center through May 9.
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.

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.
