ATI DAIRY CLUB JUDGING CONTEST

The ATI Dairy Club Judging Contest held Saturday, Febrary 289

\ at the Franklin County Fairgrounds turned out to be highly success-| ful with about 230 FFA judges from around Ohio participating. ThisI show was put on in conjunction with the Livestock Club, who had

I sponsored a show the year before.

For the Dairy part of the contest, we were able to have six

| classes, one of each of the major dairy breeds. Guernsey, Jersey,jHolstein, Brown Swiss, Ayrshire and Milking Shorthorn were represented.

The official judges, Dr. John Mekituck Sr.5 Mr. Jim Lewiss I-'r.

| Ralph Poterfield and Mrs. Sue Beun did an outstanding job of placing

; and framing questions for the 55 FFA teams.

Trophies and cattle were donated for the event by well-known

! dairy-affiliated people across the state.

There were some interesting highlights of the show that began

around Friday night when hordes of people decided to go down to watch

bhe twelve animals that were already there. Here, the question arises, if the fact that Big-

town Columbus was nearby had anything to do with the unselfish dedication of these people.

Rumor has it that one young lady^ along with three terrified passengers^drove 60 miles of

Columbus trailways and byways to reach her home 30 miles away.

Saturday morning showed blinking bloodshot eyes but soon everyone rose to the ocassion and

even Jim Hunter helped with the preparation for the contest. The judges came and pre-judged

the cows and gave questions for the classes. During this Joe Armstrong was seen cursing and

asking the price of hamburger while at the end of a rope attached to 1,200 .Ayrshire which had

never been led before. Later in the day, when the actual contest began, Joe and Jim Hunter

conspired to allow en unwitting John Scheel to handle this lovable creature. The vile threats

and physical abuse that John showered upon the animal caused many to cringe. John quietly

commented afterwards that he was now qualified to lead anything, such as a Bengal Tiger. . .

In all, everything went very smoothly as the result of a let of hard work uy everyone.

Particulary notable was the long hours put in weeks before the show by the first year dairy

students•

Team winners were as follows; 1st - Carollton II, 2nd - Buckeye Valley, 3rd - Fadison

Plains, Uth - Riverview I, 5th - Siaithville II.

Trophies and plaques were presented after all scoring was accomplished.

STEVE "BOOM BOQi" C4ITN0N - A UNIQUE RADIO PERSONALITY

My original intent of going to the vHTLO radio station had been to sell an advertisement in

the ATI yearbook, the Agrarian. I was soon informed that WKLO had no money left in their budget

for such an advertisement. My disappointment was soon forgotten as I watched Steve "Pocrn Boon"

Cannon conduct his afternoon show. Somehow the voice I heard through a speaker in the reception

room did not seem appropiately matched to the person I was watching through the picture window

in the studio. The voice sounded very expressive and intent, but Stevens face was relaxed andhis attention seemed preoccupied with other matters he had on his drawing hoard-type desk, rlis

appearance--casual pants, half-unbuttoned sports shirt, unpolished shoes, bracelet and necklrce,

did not make him seem stylish^ conservative or any other conventional tag for dress or impression.

STUDENT SENATE TRIP TO MSU

Five ATI students and Sue Iftissbaum visitad the Institute

of Agriculture Technology, 'lichigen State University, Fast

Lansing, Mj.chigan, ?e"be 26 and 27e They were hosted by Di%

Jim Gibson, director of trie institute, and the student advis

ory committees Bob Long, chairmen.

The visit was in return to the visit made by three :XU

students Feb. 20. Dro Ginson is involved with the possible

formation of a National Organization of Ag Students, and he

is establishing contact with all ag schools in the U.S. 3y

using this exchange type program, interest in this type of

Organization can be explored.

While the MSU students were at ATI they were given a tour

of all our facilities, including the horse barns, Apple Creek :

Farm, and the Willour Farm. A meeting was also held with Dr.

Garrison, Dr* Stanley, 1'r* Warnes, Pat Freys and Sue Nussbaum

to answer any questions they had about ATI. The students were

hosted in the homes of several student senate members.

The ATI student senate decided to return the visit the

following weekend. Not enough senators were able to go, so

t e trip was opened to any interested students. Highlights

of the visit included a walking tour of the HUGE MSU Campus,

sitting in on several classes, and visiting all"~the special

ized areas of agriculture offered at MSU.

The MSU program is similar to ATI, but only 18 months

long, 12 months in class and 6 months placement trainings The

program does not earn an associate of applied science degree,

but a certificate. They offer 9 programs, many similar to ours

Other choices they offer are animal technology, electrical

technology of agriculture, and elevator and farm supply. Their

institute is much older than ATI, with the first program start

ed in the 19^0*So

Everyone who participated in the exchange had a great time

in addition to a learning experience. We're sure Bob, Gladys,

and Doug won't forget ATI hospitality, and the ATI*ers loved

the MSU night life.

Dear Students s

After having worked on a

newspaper staff for

years9 I have heard the

grip@Bf putetowne^ an^ out and

out insults many a time. I

won't d€B3r that half the crit

icism is mlid; just because

you are a^gociated with a

school newspaper doesn't mewi

that you glorify jour product,

part of the job is evaluation.

Wow that that point is clear,

Ifll go on to the meat of the

matter. ATI's school news

paper has "been imder attack

by many of the students and

has received a real putdown.

A school newspaper, however9

can only be ag good as the

students of that school, and

•unfortunately most of the

students would rather gripe

than ¥©rk on the quality of

our paper. So here and now

is the ultimatum: If you have

a legal gripe, air it, but be

able to come back and say "I

will help to improve on that

area^ if not^ please keep your

mouth shut*

March 2, at 8:15 pm the Commercial Design class presented the third annual bridal show.

This year's theme, "With This Ring.*/', was portrayed in a garden wedding and a formal re

The students involved in the planning, preparation, and presentation deserve a lot of

credit* As Dr. Anderson said in his introduction^ the degree of enthusiasm and cooperation

was really amazing. The flowers and plants created a true spring-like atmosphere. Not

only were the plant materials and designs fantastically done, the props, clothes and models

made it the success it was.

The commentators were Ruth Cooper from the BRIDE fN PARTY shop in Ashland, Steve Daxr

FEATURE CREATURE

Livestock student, Joshua Nelson, originally from Long Is

land, Hew York, has "been living and working on and off for the

past two years in El Salvador, a country in Central America.

He is going back to the finca (a large farm or ranch) for his in

ternship Spring Quarter and again after graduating Autumn Quar

ter 19?6e

His internship will be at the finca ESCUEIA de EQUITACION

CUSCATIAN* near San Salvador, which has kO Thoroughbred horses

for show and acreage into the thousands. For the past two

je&rs he hae been training other students, managing the fincaJoshua kelson and breeding operations, and showing horses internationally as

an American representing El Salvador ♦ The crops grow on the finca includes: pinto beans,c©rns okra5 and grmm (not marijuana). The graes is cut daily and given to the horaes whicheliminates baling and storage ©f the bales.

Wherever possible they use teams ©f oxen to put in craps since it is cheaper to pay the

workers thsn to purchase ©ad service tractors. One team of oxen can usually do one acre per

day.

The horse operation is a complete Thoroughbred operation specializing in combined train

ing which includes stadium jumping^ cross countryj and dressage, Most of their horses are

are bought in New Orleans or Florida and flown down to the finca. Breeding, labor, feeds

and general care ©f the horses is inexpensive in El Salvador,

Joshua is interested in getting a group of ATI students together who are interested in

International Agriculture next Summer Quarter. He wishes the students were more conscious of

food and the role it will play on an international level in the future since it mil be affect

ing all of us eventually, Joshua enjoyg ATI and the people here, in fact, while smiling he

said "they1 re aH a bunch of farmers but they*re all good people!"When asked "Why live in El Salvador?" Joshua replied ^Central America is underdeveloped

and there is great potential present and I want to help the people any way I can, agriculturally or other trays*

Joshua prefers the lifestyle of El Salvador to that in the UOS, saying "the people are

more human and respect life more than people in the U.S., and living in the U.S. gets to be

too easy. Living in El Salvador is also cheaper!" He spends any vacation time riding horse

back across Central Ameriegu

The Agriculturalist wishes you sucess in all your future ventures.- Edward Brown -

CHIEFTMCY IN GHANA

As I have already stated in my last article, chieftaney plays © notable role in Ghana.

Today, chiefs are fo\md among all the people of the nine regions of Ghana, and can be defined

as a person elected in accordance with customary rites and recoili%ed by the Government of

Ghana to wield authority, and perform functions derived from tradition or arranged by the

central government within a gpecific ares*

Ghana1 s dey-to-day social and political organizations revolve around the machinery of

chieftaney. It is the cornerstone of & tribe and the traditions connected with it are strong*

Succession of chiefs is not strictly hereditary, It Is rather elective. The candidate to

a vacant stool (the vacancy baing engendered by dasiise, destoolmsnt_, abdication, or other e&usie)is elected from a particular family which has "been given the authority and priv'iledge histor

ically to provide a candidate for snstoolmfent. Ssiest!^' h the people follow a long line of

succession. The chief is elected, installed, and <~nstDo£e3. If he behaves &@ a king oi q

chief and is subservient v,o r,he ^mis and eu<staB8 of tn^ Su&we @r Iiis division he will ml? for

he is handed over to the "Krontihens" who confines Mm In waiting for the dgy of Installation.

The third step is marked by a grand MdurbarM(a pErafis of chiefs and their alders and all

t'.iei*-:- dignitaries). The chief sweurg by th@ gods of the state and on the state oath that hig

life is dedicated to the people. He promises to serve and presarrr© the customs and institutions

of the state,, He recieves a reciprocal treatment from his sub-clilefs^ 1S10 sjLso s^pear an oath

of allegiance to him if he keeps the eugtoms and institutions of the ntate0 Si® chief then

pays an snount of money called "Asedia11 (which is a token of graditiad®) and he is installed. He

Is then granted the authority of the place which entitles him t© be the overlord of the place,

He then rides in state through the town followed by his sub-chiefs @mid a scene of pomp and

pagentry. In the case of a wing or a divisional chief, lie swears & geeond oath ©f allegiance

to the Oneauhen® ©f his state.

Enstoolment is the last stage of the making of a chief tad it is also the most solfflm and

eacred of all the stages. The venue for this performance is the Stool Room (which is alsocalled the State Room) and the time is deep in the nighty (why, 1 have not bean told) but those

responsible for the enstoolment take the newly installed chief to the Stool Room and certain

sacred and secret rites are executed. This ceremony ©f enstoolment is partly religious and n©

chief is recognized unless he is thue engt©ol@d*

I would be pleased to answer questions on these articles from interested students because

I have found some of the customs may not be understood "by some ©f the students 9 My next ar

ticle will be on the Significance of the Sacred Stool of the Chief*
