Extension Division and the Cooperative Extension
Service. The Agricultural Extension Service spent a
total of 12.4 man-years on applied ecological work in
1971, which is equivalent to 13 full-time people
working a year on ecology problems.
The report said one experiment station in
cooperation with the USDA, has a large research
program on control of feedlot waste.
The report says "important work is also underway
on the fate of fertilizers and pesticides and on noise
abatement in farm machinery. Work on soil erosion
control practices has been conducted for a long
time."
The Extension Service also is working on the
feedlot pollution problem and on pesticide pollution.
In addition it offers a program on environmental
improvement to rural communities.
The Division of Conservation and Survey assesses
water quality at a number of state sites. The staff of
the Engineering College as worked on disposal of
packinghouse wastes, while the Arts and Science staff
has worked on eutrophication (nutrition) problems.
The report termed faculty efforts at endowing
course material with environments! sidelights
impressive, but notes that "aside from the experiment
station and the medical center, resources for the
support of environmental research are very limited.'"
It also notes that environmentally related work at
the University is "scattered" and recommends an!
environmental institute to help coordinate University '
efforts.
The summary of what the University is doing in
the environmental area concludes that the staff
interest is there, but that a prolonged commitment to
ecology demands funding "of a continuing nature."
Astronauts will eat
UNL's space nam
Astronauts on the Apollo 17 mission in December
will take ham sandwiches-University of Nebraska
style-to the moon. .
Armed with a $25,000 contract, researchers in the
Fcod Science and Technology Dept. have developed
"Nebraska Space Ham" and "Nebraska Space Bread."
Their two-fold mission was to develop bread with
crumbs that wouldn't float in space and to prevent
water in meat from escaping under those same
conditions.
To do this, the foods are subjected to gamma ray
radiation and cold pasteurization that helps control
free-floating particles and spoilage.
Nebraska Sen. Carl T. Curtis claims partial credit
for bringing the research program to Nebraska.
In defense of his ham sandwich campaign, Curtis
said: 'There's nothing more relaxing or refreshing,
day or night, than a good ham or beef sandwich.
Anybody who can't take time to ruminate in that
manner has failed to learn a very valuable lesson that
everv animal on earth should know. It's a good,
wholesome cure for little hangups that can lead to big
problems if not treated over a long period of time."
