Students are also studying feed additives and digestive anatomy. Currently they are working with feed composition tables and cal culators learning to figure proper percentages for composition of feed rations for a variety of livestock. Livestock judging and selection students are learning that they can't look at a cow, hog or sheep and say that it is a good or poor quality animal. Reagan explains that one not only needs to know why an animal is good or poor quality breeding or meat animal, but also the reasons why. This class has produced dairy and livestock judging teams which have judged successfully at livestock contests including such top live stock shows as the Pacific International Live stock Exposition in Portland and the Cow Palace exhibition in San Francisco. These students are learning what the Am- merican consumer demands and what the meat packing industry needs in terms of square inches of rib eye, marbling, back fat thickness and length of carcass. Cowboying really gets down to a fine tech nical science in the livestock breeding class. "You can just turn your bull out with your cows and probably get results," Reagan said. "To be successful and produce top qua lity meat and breeding livestock for the mar ket place, you have to know about genetics, anatomy and physiology, heat detection, breeding, parturition and diseases." This week, students are at the North Clackamas Land Lab working with live cows and practicing artificial insemination and pal- pitatin for a live fetus. Yes, there are cowgirls and cowboys on campus. However, one might more properly call them modern livestock technicians. When looking at a Marlboro ad next time, think about the women and men in the Col lege's agri-business classes who are learning how to raise the art of cowboying to the level of fine technical science. 1$ warned about dropping classes ns enrolled at the College should the consequences involved with the of courses, the Veterans Admin- said. .which went into effect last Decem- uires the VA to retroactively can- ‘nce payments for courses dropped ¡¡grade after a reasonable drop-add Isaid Max Cleland, VA administra- ¡law also applies in cases where a completed but the grade assigned rct, ignored by the school for grad- kirements-a so-called "non-puni ce, Cleland said. jily, students will be overpaid under bill for courses which they have I or that are not related to their mrequirements, Cleland said. ents for such courses must be stop- of the first day of a school term, said. safest direction is not to drop a or request a 'non-punitive' grade »tact is made with the VA affairs regarding the effect the courses will ponthe veteran's monthly checks.

In addition to these benefits, widows, widowers, spouses and children studying under the VA’s Depend ent's Education Assistance Program are en titled to the same tutorial benefits, said the VA. This free service is not charged against the veteran's basic educational entitlement, they added. Veterans and servicemen attending school on a half-time basis are eligible for the same benefits if they have a deficiency in a sub ject that is in an approved program of educa tion, the VA said. Applications should be made on VA form 22-19904 within a year of the tutoring and should be mailed to the VA regional office. Applications should be certified by the school, the VA said.
