Water resources programs selected
Massive political and economic instability in countries
with severe food shortages has been cited as why Nebraska
water and agricultural resources must be improved.
For that reason showh in a self-evaluation report and
UNL's past high quality performance, three areas in the
Water Resources Management Program were designated
1975 areas of excellence.
Only one of these areas, the Agricultural Economics
dept., involves students in a classroom situation.
Serves the state
The Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI) and
Conservation and Survey Division directly serve the state,
more than the university, according to Karen Stork, ad
ministrative assistant at WRRI.
The purpose of WRRI is to conduct research and edu
cational and training activities which are responsive to
Nebraska's water resource needs, according to the report.
The institute also attempts to coordinate university water
resource efforts.
The Conservation and Survey Division investigates and
provides information about Nebraska's groundwater.
Applies economics

create a professional advisory commmce 01 arcnuccis,
planners and building -specialists throughout the country
which will provide advice on the state of the architectural
and planning professions as well as employment needs
within the professional and local communities.
The professional advisory committee is expected to be a
permanent body, which will meet two or three times a year.
Renovation needed
The architecture college is using space in the former law
building, so money was needed for equipment and renova
tion, Steward said.
More than 400 students are taking courses in the College
of Architecture this year and may enroll either in a six-year
program leading to an architecture degree or a two-year
program of community and regional planning.
Architecture students may specialize in construction
management, business administration, engineering manage
ment, interior design or landscaping, Steward said.
The college offers two optional one-year exchange pro
grams in London or Guadalajara, Mexico for students in
their fourth or fifth year of study.
Steward said the major goal of the College of Architec
ture is to create an open and questioning learning environ
ment, which will strengthen the architecture and planning
professions in Nebraska.
The college has an obligation to provide leadership to
the professions while serving community development
interests throughout the state, Steward said.

resource economics of agriculture. Teaching, research and
cooperative extension education are its divisions of
responsibility.
The $265,000 appropriation for the areas of excellence
in Water Resources Management is earmarked for upgrading
efforts in education, data collection and resource manage
ment techniques, according to Millard Hall, WRRI
director.
This first year funding was used primarily for new staff
salaries, Stork said.
Impetus for the water resources area of excellence came
from state, local and federal needs, not student demands,
the report on the project stated.
Direction differs
"Without water we don't have an economy" because
agriculture could not exist, Stork said. Consequently, the
program's direction differs from others, the report
indicated.
"We are concerned with two client groups-the on
campus regular students and the decision-making public,"
Stork said.
