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 judge both animal conformation and the The Daily Puzzle ■ i s |* It ~BK [b to in li2 -j - ""JIB jg§ ~~ 19 A) "" ?1 " ' j 30 33 34 37 39 h|4o j 1 " —Krr "" HS —l —- jHnr~ — ■■■■■■■I HHp — ~' """ fw mww *SY wf* W6C t “ S r ~ —— '*BH mm 67 Gusto 68 Chops finely 69 Times past 70 Gold or silver DOWN 1 Lubricated 2 Untrue 3 Ensnares 4 Reason lo have ones teeth cleaned 5 Help in crime 6 Unclothed 7 Market 8 Robber 9 ' we there yet?" 10 Section of a convent tor a new entrant 11 Word of agreement 12 Songbird 13 Gray wolf 20 Vipers 2t Chris of ten nis 25 Church sing ers 27 Therefore 28 Gazes 44 Bar order 46 Voles into office 48 __ up find by deep search ing 50 Cartoon duck 52 Passover bread 53 ... than. besides 30 Use the molars 31 Totals 32 Shapeless lump 33 Reason lo .marry 34 Painkiller 35 Misrepresent 37 *Nay" voter 40 Attach NEWS 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.

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.

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.” ONLINE Police Documents 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.
