Students taking SCC classes will be traveling to 86th and 0 Sts. for classes in about two years. Last week Southeast Community College (SCC) of." ficials approved construction of a $6 million building which will consolidate the now six different Lincoln loca tions on one 117-acre piece of land in east Lincoln. The new location affects at least 50 UNL students in the industrial education department who take SCC courses for credit. Instead of going to one building for welding, another for drafting and another for mechanics, they will go to one location. ' Max Hansen, chairman on the industrial- education center, said he has supported that location from the beginning. "Southeast Community College desperately needs its own identity and its own location," he said. SCC now provides vocational training at six leased Lincoln locations. "As it is, students seldom see each other," Hansen said. "They are scattered all over town." NU Regent Ed Schwartzkopf of Lincoln, said he was Computer will aid irrigation systems Nebraska farmers soon may be able to increase the ef ficiency of their irrigation systems with help from.a new microcomputer being developed by two UNL professors. The computer system calculates soil moisture evapora tion by measuring the amount of sunlight, vapor pressure and temperature. Once the evaporation rate is determined, the computer turns the irrigation sprinklers on and. off accordingly, giving the soil the specific amount of moisture needed, according to Lex Akers, UNL electrical engineering assistant professor involved in developing the system's electrical aspecC By supplying the correct amount of moisture at the right time, farmers can effectively increase the efficiency of their farming operations and conserve water by not over irrigating. ... Albert Weiss, agricultural engineering assistant profes sor involved in the testing end of the project, is studying an experimental model t at NU's Panhandle Station in Scottsbluff, The'unit, placed in a field and protected by a metal box, prints out the information gathered. One of .the best things about the computer is that its small size makes it affordable for farmers, Akers said. The unit can be adapted to each farmer's individual irrigation system, he said. "We're still just testing the system," Akers said. It could be a year or more before the computer is on the market, depending on the results of the tests in Scotts bluff, he said. The system already has been in the develop ing stages for about a year, he said. Funds for the project were obtained from the A.M. Elliot Fund, consisting of money donated to UNL in an effort to promote agricultural research.

If enrollment decreased in the future, there might be a possibility of sharing residence halls and recreation programs. "I'm a great believer in the two education institutions working together,' he said. The important thing is to pro vide quality education, he explained. Hansen said building close to UNL campus was a ridic ulous idea. "The cost of land would be prohibitive, he said. He said he did not think the location at 86th and 0 Sts. would affect enrollment. "Just look around campus " he said. "YouH find every student has a car anyway." Bob Eicher, area president of SCC, said he did not think the location would effect enrollment either. "It will be a consolidated community " he said. Some students will have to go farther to class, he added, "but others won't have to travel as far."
