Unicamera
enacts
fieldhouse
measure
The Nebraska Legislature Friday enacted revised plans for
the construction of the new $12 million UNL fieldhouse.
On a 36-2 final-reading vote, senators approved LB 1433
calling for the issuance of bonds to construct the new facility.
Bonds would be repaid from last year's increase in cigarette
taxes at the rate of $2.4 million per year for a five-year period.
Also allocated in the bill is $2.4 million over a two-year
period to improve the State Fairgrounds in connection with
construction plans for the fieldhouse.
The newly passed bill erases 1971 legislation which divided
the five-cent tax increase equally between the fieldhouse and a
new state office building.
This year's version is seen as a compromise between
factions. Gov. J. J. Exon vetoed last year's bill but the
Legislature enacted it over his veto. Exon is expected to sign
the bill passed Friday.
LB 1433, introduced by Lincoln Sen. Roland Luedtke,
directs the remainder of the cigarette tax revenue into the
general state construction fund.
The Legislature could then direct the funds into other
construction projects as they desire.
With the passage of this year's fieldhouse bill, construction
could begin immediately since the initial cost is paid by bonds.
The old law would have required funds to accumulate before
conduction could begin.
The new fieldhouse would replace the present NU
Coliseum built in 1925, which seats 9,000. The new building
would hold nearly 18,000 for basketball games. Its use would
not be limited to basketball games, however. An Olympic-size
swimming pool and facilities for other sports era planned.
In other aeion Friday, senators passed unanimously on
final reading a bill which would make it illegal to place drugs
or foreign objects in another person's food or drink.
The bill, LB 1098, sponsored by Senators Wally Barnettof
Lincoln and Gerald Stromer of Kearney, makes it a felony to
place any narcotic,: hallucinogenic drug or pin, needle, razor
blade, glass or other harmful objects in edible substances.
A person convicted of placing such an item in food or drink
with malicious intent could earn a 10-year prison term and a
$10,000 fine.

Film features Eskimo life
"These films are known as
the best ethnographic series
made," explained Jim Kohler
in reference to a
four-and-a-half hour series on
the Netslik Eskimo to be
shown in the Nebraska Union
small auditorium on March
15th at 12:30 p.m.
n The films, shot by the
Canadian Film Board are
currently being used in
elementary social studies
courses. Kohler explained that
"the impact is so unique 1
wanted to give everyone a
chance to see these films.
The films have no narration,
the viewer is expected to
absorb what he wishes, Kohler
said. In addition, the series is
not edited toward any one part
of the culture. The study
follows the culture that, up
until one generation ago was
the life style of the Netslik for
1,000 years.
