Lot may sit empty
Southeast Community College has a 117-acre lot it
does not know what to do with, unless its board of gover
nors approves financing proposed construction on the site,
a college official said Tuesday.
Bob Eicher, SECC president, said "we have most of
the money now on reserve. If we wait a couple of years
we should have enough to go ahead and build the build
ing. "But I will recommend that we either borrow, the
money or take out a bond so we can start to build as
quickly as possible."
Construction would consolidate all full-time Lincoln
programs in one building, he said.
Southeast Community College now uses about eight
different buildings. in Lincoln for its full-time programs,
Eicher said. When the new campus is completed, off cam
pus sites will be used for part-time programs. The Fair
buty and Milford campuses still will be used, he. said,
The proposed building site has been contested for sev
eral years. Area citizens did not want the college located
at 84th and 0 streets because they wanted to preserve
the residential identity of the area.
Some city council members had protested the move
becHuse it would be constructed in the Stevens Creek
watershed, an area originally exempt from expansion.
If construction is completed, it will be the first time
SECC has had a centralized location for its educational
programs,
The college may have plenty of money now for the
construction, but in a couple of years it may not have
further tax support, Eicher said.
The college is financed by a one mill levy on the
state property tax in southeast Nebraska counties, he said.
The school can collect the tax for only two more years
unless the Legislature appropriates more money, he said,

Watch out, pests!
By John Ortmann
Nebraskans having trouble with insect pests or
confused about pesticide regulations now have a new
source of help available to them. '
Roger Gold, newly appointed coordinator of environ
mental programs for the Institute of Agriculture and
Natural Resources, (IANR), said his office will provide
information on pest control, pesticide usage and agricul
tural pollution control.
The Salt Lake City native said his office will communi
cate with the federal government about pesticide use in
"There are numerous requests from such agencies as
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the
United States Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) on pesticide
use in Nebraska," Gold said. He said his duties include
collecting and forwarding pesticide information to the
EPA and USDA for registration and regulation.
These pesticides include those on the EPA Rebuttal
of Presumptions Against Registration list, Geld said,'
which have been found to "cause risk to man or the en
vironment." Gold said if a chemical is determined neces
sary for agriculture with acceptable risk it will be
registered for use by the EPA. Those deemed not neces
sary will not be registered, he said.
Gold emphasized that liis office is not a regulatory
agency. He said its function is to provide communication
between the federal government, the IANR and the
people of Nebraska, with the idea of helping them meet
federal regulations.
Gold said his staff is small, but he will collect informa
tion from relevant sources within the IANR. This informa
tion eventually will be available in newsletters and other
publications at county extension offices, Gold said.
Gold said his duties include serving as state pesticide
coordinator and as a member of the Nebraska Natural
Resources Commission. He said he also will teach Agricul
ture College classes on the environmental aspects of pes
ticide use.
Those wanting pesticide information should call
Gold's office in room 101, Old Veterinary Science Build,
ing. The number is 472-1446.
