Nine students triumph at livestock competition
By DALLAS DUNCAN
The Red & Biack
Nine University students are starting
their week off with a little more bling to
their names, in the form of winners’ tro
phies, personalized belt buckles and
embroidered duffel bags.
Jacob Daniel. Austin Callaway, Karissa
Carpenter, Brittany Barnhill, Ash Collins,
Brittany Gordon, Brittany Davis, Kemp
Denison and Cameron Clark beat out
more than 70 other competitors to become
Grand Champion, Reserve Champion and
species champions at Sunday's 88th Little
International Livestock Show sponsored
by the University’s chapter of Block and
Bridle.
“A person can choose any species and
then they train them. Winners of each
species compete in a round robin contest
and the judge chooses an overall winner,"

said Anna Savelle, a junior from
Watkinsville and this year’s show chair.
During Little I, students are taught
how to show their choice of livestock
horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, pigs or
sheep —and participate In a competition
inside the show ring.Savelle said the prac
tices vary depending on the species.
“Basically, you have a species chair who
is very knowledgeable about showing an
animal,” she said.
In the case of students learning to
show sheep, Sally Stewart the species
chair teaches participants how to catch
sheep, walk them around and become
comfortable with them, Savelle said.
“They basically learn how to show by
doing the experience of working at a
show,” she said. “As an animal, they’ll
learn how to work with you.”
Unlike most livestock shows, which

skills of the participant —a category
known as showmanship Little I focuses
only on the latter.
“They're not judging your animal,” said
All Terrell, a junior from Cartersville and
Block and Bridle president. “The judges
evaluate who learns the most and who
does the best job presenting their animal.”
Savelle said judges are chosen based
on how much they know about livestock
and shows.
She said many of them come from
farms or were on a judging team.
This year marks a milestone for Block
and Bridle, and for Little I— which was
held at the Lifestock Instructional Arena.
“It’s our 90th year, which is really big
for us,” Terrell said. “The reason this is
the 88th Little I is because during World
War n, they skipped a couple of years
because they needed com to feed the
troops and couldn’t feed the livestock.”
Changes satisfy scooter riders
Complaints
are declining
By NATHAN SORENSEN
The Red & Black /
After two weeks of using
the new scooter and moped
parking system, scooter
drivers and pedestrians
alike have little to com
plain about.
As of Nov. 1, scooter
parking changed from the
sidewalk-access parking
corrals to road-entry sur
face lots. Before the change
Nov. 1, scooters and
mopeds were a source of
protest among students
and faculty.
"We used to get almost
daily complaints from
handicapped students and
pedestrians about scooters
parked or driving on the
sidewalks,” said Don Walter;
manager of Parking
Services.
With the new surface lot
parking for scooters, the
need for driving on a side
walk has decreased —as
have the complaints.
“The biggest impact
from the new scooter park
ing Iras been the satisfying
of disabled students and
pedestrians about scooters
blocking sidewalks.” Walter
said.
With the parking change,
the number of complaint
calls to University Police
about scooters have also
dropped.
“Only time will tell,” said
Jimmy Williamson,
University Police chief.
"But we have seen a decline
in complaints over the last

CRIME NOTEBOOK
Eight reports of burglary in 24 hours
Burglary numbers reached an unusual
high Friday, totalling eight within a
24-hour window.
These numbers are above average,
said Athens Clarke County Police Lt.
Keith Morris, although they are not
“unheard of.”
“Burglaries tend to run in spurts." he
said. “From what I can aee, I don’t think
they are related. They were spread out all
over the county.”
Incidents were reported on Cleveland
Road, Riverbend Parkway, Lake Drive,
Norwood Circle, Sycamore Drive, Holly
Springs, Oak Park Court and Inglewood
Avenue.
Thousands of doUars worth of items
were found missing from several of the

Terrell said the first Little I— named
for the North American International
Livestock Expo held in 1921, caused
classes to be canceled so students and
faculty could go to it. She said the 1964
contest was the inaugural event to be
held at Stegeman Coliseum.
“It had 5,000 people come, a Hereford
[beef cattle j show and a horse auction,”
Tefrell said. “It was centered around Little
I because it was such a big deal.”
Savelle said the participants are mostly
students in the College of Agricultural
and Environmental Sciences, but said she
hopes more students will be willing to
participate in the future.
“You get to understand how the rela
tionships between animals and humans
are so close,” she said. “If more people
handle these animals, they’ll become more
cognizant of where food'comes from and
the lifestyles in agriculture.”
550 total scooter and
moped parking spaces on
campus.
Students also seem sat
isfied with the change from
corrals to surface lots.
“I like the new parking,”
said Alex Vagasi, a biology
major from Lilbum. “The
lots are in convenient plac
es, I have my own space,
no one is knocking over my
scooter and there’s always
plenty of spaces.”

locations, including a flat screen TV,
Xboxes and various other electronics.
In the past, Athens area police have
seen a spike in burglaries around
Christmas. However, Morris said that
trend has tailed off recently
“In the last three years it’s been pretty
consistent with other months,” he said.
Morris said the cause of fewer
Christmas burglaries may be students liv
ing in more areas around Athens and
shorter winter breaks.
