. Most Nebraskans probably are familiar with cattle
ranchers and pork producers. But what about turkey
fanners? Where does that Thanksgiving Day turkey come
from?
Nebraska is not a large turkey producing state,
. according to Rich Shinn, who raises the largest number of
turkeys in Nebraska. "; - .
Shinn said he raised 165,000 turkeys this year on his
farm at Dunning. - "
Quite a few of fee turkeys he raises are sold in
Nebraska. However, he said many go to places like
Chicago and New York. Some were sent to the U.S.
military in West Germany. .
Shinn has-been in the turkey raising business for 40
- years. His business is a family partnership and the turkeys
are raised on the family farm. - ;

"Ths'sivirg is ths largest -coasssicz time," said
Shinn, who raises only torn turkeys. "7e. usually market
them at 19 to 24 weeks of age," he added.
A 24-week-old torn weighs about 30 pounds and a
19-week-cld weighs aboug 24 pounds, Shinn said.
Hens are the most popular turkeys and usually are
marketed at 16 weeks, when they weigh about 14 pounds. ,
There should be plenty of turkeys for the holiday ,
season, he said. Production is up 10 per cent nationally,
he said, but Nebraska production is about the same as
last year.
Trices are definitely down from last year,' said Jim
Hansen, head of the meat department at Nash Finch Co.
wholesalers, 1125 W.O St.
Hansen said Friday that prices have been "pretty
good" the last couple of days, but he expects prices to be
lower between Thanksgiving and Christmas. -
Turkey should be a really good buy for the Christmas
holidays,' Hansen said.
Earl Gleaves, UNL professor of poultry and wildlife
sciences, said he expects the wholesale price of turkey to
be 10 cents per pound less this year and should be
reflected in the retail price.

The regents tti the administration to give them a
restatement of the program, based on a construction
figure of $10 million, by the board's January 'meeting.

approve of the magnitude of ths pavilion's budget He said
Pie favors financing a study of the concept of the pavilion,
but did not approve paying for the entire project.

project's budget and still conduct a. cardiovascular
program.: " .'"
The cardiovascular center would provide adult and
child heart care with life-support components. It also
would develop an in-depth program in the diagnosis and
treatement of patients with hypertension and stress as
well as designing a heart research program. ,
Other actiaa
In other action, the regents voted to go on record
opposing Nebraska Methodist Hospital's application to
construct a 280-bed tower at its Omaha location, which
would become the new location of Childrens Memorial
'Hospital...-;",;"' ' '-
Childrens serves as a teaching hospital for the medical
center and would move to the Methodist Hospital site if
given approval by the Health Planning Council of the Mid- .
lands in December. ;
The regents were asked to oppose Childrens move by
Dr. Perry Rigby, dean of the NU College of Medicine.
Rigby said there was possibility of some jeopardy in our
(the medical center's) educational process if the move
takes place." '
Rigby said Childrens location near the medical center

Clarkson Hospital, the medical center hospital and clinics
and other specialized medical facilities in the area. - ; .
The resolution asking the regents to oppose the Child
rens move said the medical center and Childrens have not
adequately investigated "the potential of developing
mutual pediatric programs" and that Childrens had not
adequately investigated the possibility of sharing equip
ment and resources currently available at the medical
center campuses. '
Adverse effect
The resolution also said an accreditation team of the
Liasorr Committee on Medical Education (LCME), which
evaluated the College of Medicine-last January, reported

ticfet surcharge
A decision on whether to tack a $1 surcharge to the
price of UNL football tickets to non-conference games
was delayed a month by the NU Board of Regents
Saturday. . .7.,'.;;;.."-.
The proposal would have added $1 to the price of
tickets to the Washington State,. Alabama, Baylor and
Indiana football games next year.
The $280,000 in added revenue would be used to
defray rising costs in the Intercollegiate Athletic Dept.
from field maintenance and equipment replacement, as
well as women's athletic programs.
The' regents deferred until December consideration of
this proposal because it did not make clear whether the $ 1
a game surcharge would be included on student and
faculty tickets in addition to general admission tickets.

Glenn Smith, NU assistant vice president
and director of business and accounting.
However, he said, some funds are allocated
for planning in every maintenance budget.
- Smith said it would be incorrect to say
- there was a violation of intent. It is
difficult to justify a request for money
without a program statement, he added.
- The regents Saturday deferred action on
the $15 million cardiovascular center pro
posal until a les costly program could be
planned.
