incidence of rabies, according
to a University of
Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL)
Extension veterinarian.
Dogs arc not the leading
rabies carrier, but rabies
controlled through them could
result in fewer rabies cases,
veterinarian Dr. Alex Hogg
said.
A 1970 state law requires
vaccination of every dog four
months old or older and the
vaccination within 30 days of
such dogs moved into
Nebraska.
During the past five years,
the greatest incidence of rabies
has- been found in skunks,
cattle, cats and dogs, in that
order. It even has been
detected in bats, Hogg said.
In the last 10 years, the
infectious disease has killed 23

rabies must submit to a series
of 14 immunization
vaccinations, and every year,
about 30,000 persons undergo
the daily series.
But many must do so simly
because the animal bit them
escaped or was not available to
test for rabies.
A physician only can
assume that the animal was
rabid and must recommend
that immunization be carried
out, the veterinarian said.
Many other needless
vaccinations result when the
suspected animal is shot in the
head, destroying the brain,
which is needed for a
laboratory diagnosis of rabies,

procedures in case of animal
bites:
- If at all possible, capture
the animal alive. If the animal
must be shot, avoid hitting it in
the head.
- A dog that has bitten a
person should be confined in a
pound for 10 days. If signs of
rabies have not developed by
then, it may be assumed that
the rabies virus could not have
been in the dog's saliva at the
time of the bite.
- Since incubation time of
the rabies varies widely in wild
animals, they should be taken
immediately to a laboratory
for diagnosis. Rubber gloves
should be worn when handling
them.
-Animals suspected of

Thousands of persons are
expected to attend the
University of Nebraska Field
Laboratory's 10th anniversary
commemoration Thursday at
Mead.
The event is being observed
in conjunction with the 21st
annual Tractor Power and
Safety Day, so the entire field
laboratory will be open to
visitors.
One of the newest additions
to the experiment station is the
Behlen Astronomy laboratory
with a 30-inch telescope. The
University physics department
officially will dedicate the
observatory next spring.
Visitors also will see the
horticulture and forestry
department's extensive
plantings of chrysanthemums
and wild flowers and 902
varieties of roses.
The Mead experiment
station also has research
facilities of the University's
, Medical College and the
Eugene C. Epley Institute for
Research in Cancer and Allied
Diseases. Eppley Institute
researchers, experiment on
rabbits, mice, rats and hamsters
to find a cure for cancer.
New agricultural
installations on the 9,500 acre
tract include a beef
confinement unit, in which
200 experimental animals have
been confined since the first
week of June for a study of the
effects of a modified
environment versus open let.
A new animal science feed
mill and a new seed processing
center also have been added.
Some of the program
underway at the Field
Laboratory include:
-Plant breeding and
improvement work on corn,
alfalfa, clover, sorghum,
perennial grasses, soybeans,
wheat and small grains.
-Pasture management.
-Dairy production,
nutrition and management.
-Beef cattle management,
nutrition and reproduction.
- Swine and sheep breeding,
nutrition and management.
- Irrigation research.
-Entomological studies of
the biology, life history,
ecology, economic damage and
control of insects affecting
crops.
-Veterinary science studies

control.

Learning about government
and politics by working in the
statehouse or the state
headquarters of a political
party isn't quite the same as
learning about government and
politics in a political science
class.
But in the past two years,
28 political science students
have had the opportunity to do
both through the political
science department's intern
program.
Dr. Carroll McKibbin,
department chairman, said the
program was started to provide
"exposure to the practical sides
of government."
Both kinds of interns, those
assigned to state agencies and
those assigned to political
parties, receive three hours
independent study credit for
their practical experience and
additional readings and
research, McKibbin said.
But the internships also
provide part-time employment.
State government interns are
paid $600 for a semester of
half-time work. State party
interns work one-sixth time for
$200.
Assignments for the interns
have varied.
"One intern with the
Democratic Party did an
analysis of the impact that
lowering the voting age would
have on the chances of the
Democrats carrying the first
congressional district,"
McKibbin said. The study
showed that the high student
population in the first district
potentially could have
considerable effect, he said.
"The Republicans usually
have the interns keep a
scrapbook ... of the
Democrats," McKibbin said.
Other political party
headquarters interns have
written press releases, indexed
a book on Democratic Party
history, done routine research,
worked in various candidate

capitol,
offices
headquarters during elections,
attended fund-raising dinners
and county political meetings.
"With the presidential
election coming up this fall,
our two interns with the
political parties should be in
for some interesting activity,"
McKibbin said.
State, government interns
have worked in the budget
department, the Technical
Assistance Agency, the Office
of Economic Development,
personnel and the League of
Municipalities.
McKibbin said the problem
with placing statehouse interns
is finding state agencies with
the money to pay them.
"Most of the kids we've
placed with state agencies are
highly competent and have
expressed an interest in a
career in state government,"
McKibbin said.
Most departments have
assigned interns to "single-shot
tasks" that would take time
out of the regular routine for
the other employees in the
department, he said.
Two interns in the Office of
Economic Development
compiled a book of
information on operations of
-various departments of state
government.
But a number of students
have complained of being
bored, McKibbin said. "Still,
you can learn more than you
think just by being there to
absorb the operations of state
government," he said.
Only one former intern now
works for the state, but others
have turned down job offers to
attend graduate school or law
school, McKibbin said.
The political science
internships are part of a "trend
toward more involvement in
off-campus things, more kinds
of practical experiences,"
McKibbin said.
