Radar usage still experimental,
UNL police issuing warnings
By Mike Schmoldt
Use of the VASCAR radar unit bv
UNL Campus Police is still "in the experi
mental stage" according to an officer
certified to use the equipment.
Sergeant Mylo Bushing said Camous
w
Police got tne &UU radar unit in late
August on a grant from the Nebraska
Highway Safety Council. No official cita
tions, and only a few warnings have been
issued to speeders caught on radar this
semester, he said.
Bushing said only a few officers were
certified to operate the radar equipment.
Bushing said officer Phil Cross and UNI
Parking and Traffic Coordinator John Duve
both are able to certify members of the
police force. f "
"We're experimenting with it righV
now," Bushing said. "We'll be in the break,
ing-in stage until we get . more officers
certified."
Duve said a training program is going on
?now and eventually all officers will be; able
to use the VASCAR unit.
k
The radar gun mounts on the dashboard
of the police cruiser. A control box con
tains a mini-computer enabling the officer
to determine the speed of oncoming ve
hicles, whether the cruiser itself is moving
or stationary.
Duve said the gun can be turned 360
degrees to get the speed of a car coming
from any direction. The radar has a scope
of four mile,s, he said, and has been proven
in court to be accurate to within one
one-thousandth mph.
According to Duve, the unit is portable
and will be used constantly once the whole
UNL Campus Police force is trained to
use it. He said purchase of additional units
would depend on need.
"We want to use it primarily to educate
people as to what speed limits are," Duve
said. He said warnings will be given first.
A second use of radar is to make traffic
studies and determine if an area would be
safer with a different speed limit. Duve said
' if the limit in an area is 35 mph but most
motorists are going 45 mph, reducing
the speed limit to 25 mph might be in
-ower. . . . . . ,
Duve also said an officer can set the unit
at a particular speed and go about his rou
tine duties. If a car in the area is going over
the set speed, a buzzer will go off to alert
the officer.

Three Institute of Agriculture and
Natural Resources College departments
now have homes in the new $10 million
Plant Science Complex on East Campus.
The Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant
Pathology departments are moving into
86,000 square feet of the greenhouse,
according to Mike Boosalis, building com
mittee and Plant Pathology Department
chairman. The second building in the com
plex, an 87,000-square-foot laboratory
building located north of Keim Hall, is
expected to be ready for occupation by
May 1978, he said.
The complex, begun in 1975, is expected
to relieve overcrowded office and labora
tory conditions in the departments1 old
quarters, Boosalis said.
The laboratory building will provide
more space for teaching, research and ex
tension work, he said, adding the building
wUl contain laboratory, office and class
room space in addition to conference
rooms.
"The new complex will certainly im
prove the overall teaching program in the
Agriculture College " he said.
Researchers will be able to work more
efficiently, he said, because of new equip
ment and better environmental control in
the greenhouses.
V
He said office and laboratory space now
occupied by the Horticulture and Plant
Pathology departments in the Plant Indus
try Building will be used by the
Entomology and other departments which
also have overcrowding problems.
