HORSEWOMAN — Nancy DeLong, Nebraska City, Neb., junior, sits in the saddle on one of her many award winning horses she has shown in several cities throughout the midwest. She
has appeared in the American Royal horse show 14 years and will show a horse named Debbie Sea next week. This year's horse has never been ridden in a show by Miss DeLong.
Horse Shows 'Still Exciting For Coed After 14 Years
Starting her 14th year of showing horses in the American Royal, Nancy DeLong, Nebraska City, Neb., junior, finds the competition of showmanship "still very exciting."
Miss DeLong, a transfer student from the University of Nebraska, will show Debbie Sea, her 3-gaited American saddle bred mare, in the ladies' and amateurs' 3-gaited stake classes at the American Royal next week, a livestock exhibition held annually in Kansas City.
Miss DeLong started showing horses in children's equitation classes when she was six years old. Last year was the first year that Miss DeLong has missed at the Royal. Her horse was too young to be shown by anyone except the trainer.
Debbie Is 5 Years Old
Debbie Sea is a five year old mare which never has been shown in the Royal. Miss DeLong calls next week's performance an "experiment" for the mare.
"She's so very young. It may turn out to be a rodeo if she's too spooky," she said.
Debbie Sea was named the world's champion mare in the 15 hands division of the 1957 Kentucky State Fair at Louisville. She wan then shown by her trainer.
Miss DeLong tied for third place

100 Per Cent More Students Study Russian
More than twice as many KU students are taking Russian this fall than were taking it in 1957.
French and German are up a little over a year ago. Other foreign languages are about even with their enrollment at the same time last year.
The enrollment for all German courses is 506. There were 434 students of German last fall.
The interest in Russian has been accelerated despite the fact that it is somewhat more difficult to master than other languages.
Sidney M. Johnson, associate professor of German and acting chairman of the department of Germanic languages, said the verb system in Russian seems easier than that of German, but the basic vocabulary is quite difficult.
Figures released by the department of Germanic languages show that 84 students are taking Russian now, compared to 35 at this time in 1957.
Students of the Swedish language total 7 this semester. The department, which teaches only one Scandinavian language a semester, had
14 students of Norwegian in the fall of 1957.
The department of Romance languages continues to have the heaviest enrollment of all foreign language departments.
Enrollment in all French courses is 501, an increase of 40 over last fall. Enrollment in Spanish totals 530. There are 27 students of Italian, and 5 of Portuguese.
Total enrollment in the department of Latin and Greek is 250. Of these, 75 are taking languages and the remainder are enrolled in humanities, mythology, and civilization courses.
Six U. S. Presidents had Scots-Irish ancestry: Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Arthur, McKinley and Wilson.
