ETV views expansion
After two and a half years of
planning, the new $3.4 million
dollar telecommunication!
building on East Campus is
under construction.
The structure, which is being
built just north of the Nebraska
Center, will contain 114,000
square feet and six floors, two
of them underground.
It will house the headquarters
for the Nebraska Educational
Television Network (ETV) and
the University of Nebraska
television system (KUON-TV)
as well as other agencies con
nected with ETV.
"We've been waiting for this
building for years," explained
Boyd Rooney, assistant
manager of operations and
building coordinator.
The ETV network in
Nebraska began in 1956 when
KUON-TV went on the air. The
system has dramatically ex
panded since, but a new build
ing could never be afforded.
The ETV Network is now
housed in 13 different buildings
around campus all of them
inadequate, according to
Rooney. At one point last year,
another ETV official predicted
the demise of the entire
network if new facilities
weren't constructed. But the
1969 Unicameral came
through.
"The telecommunications
building is being constructed
under a new, unique state
law," Rooney said.
The 1969 state law allows
financing of buildings by other
governmental units through t
revenue bonds. The state itself
cannot issue bonds, but a city
can.
The city of Lincoln will
finance the building by issuing
bonds, Rooney noted. The city
will then rent the building to
the ETV network for 20 years,
after which the property
reverts back to the state.
The t elecommunications
building, which Rooney terms
"the best TV building in the
United States," is the first
structure to be built under the
bon-rental agreement.
The basic idea for the
building was conceived during
extensive travel to CBS head
quarters in New York City and
NBC in burbank, as weu as

ETV officials and the
architects tried to implement

commented.
The building will hold both

Local pollution concerns group
A group of campus students
and faculty advisers is taking
up the fight against environ
mental pollution in Lincoln.
The group, which calls itself
the Ci'izens for Environmental
Improvement, was the
brainchild of Dave Smith, a
junior majoring in zoology.
Smith said he got the idea
from a New York Times article
which mentioned the University
of Nebraska as a campus
where "there is no evidences
of environmental concern."
S 'lni distributed six
handbills and attracted about
40 people at the group's first
mee'ing In January.
arv Hergenrader, a zoology
professor and one of the
group's advisers, said the
group's goal is "to inform the
public of what the problems are
and what can be done about
them

The new studio will enable
full color production. Though
ETV at present time can pro
duce color presentations, all
studio cameras are black and

serious drawbacks, the project
is scheduled for a Sept., 1971,
