Space- sharing to mean a long drive
Students taking advantage of a sDace-sha
ment between UNL and Southeast Community College
(SCC) will have to travel farther to class in the future.
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.

hoping the two colleges could be closer together.
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."
