Williamson:
'sentiment
hurts ecology'
Sentiment surrounding many ecological
issues interferes with Soil and Water
Conservation Commission efforts for land
treatment, a spokesman said recently : in
a panel discussion.
Dayle Williamson, executive secretary of
the commission, spoke with three .other
environmentalists on a panel sponsored by
the League of Women Voters Environmental
Quality Committee.
Williamson said some envrionmentalists
"want to stop everything'" and some ecology
groups are "really halting development"
because they use pressure to stop many
projects for ecological reasons.
"We must set priorities," Williamson said.
He said nearly two-thirds of the state's
agricultural Jand remains to be treated for
sediment control. Sediment caused by
untreated land is the biggest water-polluter
"in Nebraska, he said..,- ; -. . : J I

Cornhusker succumbs
to financial woes
With the distribution of the 1972 Cornhusker.
UNL will bid farewell to the publication of a
yearbook. Cessation of the yearbook's publication
is due to financial losses over the past few years.
Yearbook sales have declined over the past
decade despite attempts at renovating the format.
Except for 1969, the Cornhusker won,
All-American ratings from the Associate Collegiate
PressNational Scholastic Press Association every
year since 1960.
But the book tost $3,816.93 in 1971 and is
expected to lose nearly that much this year, -according
to Jerri Haussler, publications board
business coordinator.
On March 21 the publications board said it
would cease publication unless the Cornhusker
could support itself on student fees. Chancellor
James Zumberge was asked if the yearbook could
be funded by being placed on registration fee
cards. Zumberge resisted the measure.
According to James Horner, publications board
chairman, only about 10 per cent of the student
body buys a yearbook. Horner said this shows'the
student body for the last four or five years has said
it isn't interested in a yearbook." .
them filthy from sediment," he said.
Jack Ruff, spokesman for the
Department of Environmental Control, said
two goals of his department were to increase
per capital income in the state and to
increase job opportunities, thereby
stemming migration from Nebraska.
"We need to learn to live with a little
pollution because we need the jobs that go
along with it," he said.
The department will try to create new
jobs by encouraging industrial development.
Ruff said. He said the department will try to
match industrial prospects with the
community, taking into consideration the
town's size, location, amount of resources
and housing available for possible new
families. Stressing local leadership is the key
to developing small communities, he said.
James Higgins, director of the
Department of Environmental Control, said
he would prefer the department be known as
the Department of Pollution Control, since
it is interested in the environment from the
standpoint of pollution.
The water supply should be ecology's
major concern, Higgins said. '
"The state should see a significant
improvement in water quality by 1975," he
said, if the state grants the department $15
million it needs for water pollution control
projects. - -
