General Crockery Guidelines:
By - Linda J. Hogg, RD, LN

1) Begin cooking on low heat until all ingredients are added.
2) Start by adding a base of moisture (exp. low sodium beef broth, chicken broth, BBQ sauce with one part water or broth).
3) Then add your choice of protein (lean pork or beef tenderloin,
chicken breast, beans or legumes, wild game meat chunks).
4) The broth/meat should fill the crock full-leave some room.
5) Cook for at least 1-2 hours on low heat.
6) After 2 hours, add carrots, potatoes, or other starchy vegetable which needs to be cooked until tender.
7) Remove liquid if necessary to allow 1/2 of the crock to be filled with veggies and the upcoming starch source of your recipe.
8) Change to high heat for the final hour of preparation.
9) Cook for at least Y2 hour before adding rice (wild), pasta, (whole grain, enriched) and then continue for a 1/2 hour.
1 O) Use various herbs and spices to flavor. If unsure, use a standard lemon pepper seasoning or Mrs. Dash for ease in preparation. Add ground black pepper if desired.

On March 8-9th, the voice of the students here at MSU was heard with a 61 percent in support of creating a tobacco free campus. According to a recent Chronicle article:

This resolution, passed by a vote of 1,350 in favor to 849 votes against, recommends President Cruzado's administration create a policy that bans both smoking and chewing tobacco on campus within the next two years.

Compared to previous years, voting turnout was higher with 21.5 percent of the 10,374 eligible voters.

Health advocates argued the tobacco industry is marketing new forms of smokeless tobacco to young people, and it is important to send the message that no form of tobacco is safe.

If the university administration decides to follow the student's referendum, MSU would joining five other Montana campuses, including the University of Montana.

MSU now bans smoking within 25 feet of the building, though people on both sides of the agree this rule in not really enforced. Smokers often huddle near the entrances to the Renne Library and other major buildings on campus.
