City Councilman Mike Steinman said he would support
a permanent task force of university and city task
officials, Chamber of Commerce members and neigh
borhood people to investigate items like transportation,
parking, J3w enforcement, purchasing and planning.
Steinman spoke to about 40 people at a "Face the
Chamber" session at the Chamber of Commerce board
room at noon Wednesday.
Thcre is close symbiotic relationship between the city
and the university, and everybody involved wants to main
tain the relationship," he said.
Steinman, an associate professor of political science at
UNI, said the Chamber should recognize the limitations
of his position at UNL.
Footsoldier
"I'm only a footsoldier, the only people I boss are my
students," he said.
He said if the NU Board of Regents in their official
capacity met with the city council, more might be
accomplished.
In response to a question, Steinman called the
idea that the university might be moved to Omaha
"a red herring."
He said city council member Joe Hampton said
that voting against the Northeast radial would send a
portion of UNL to Omaha, "but I don't buy that."
Steinman said he is opposed to the segment of
the Northeast radial that would be east of 27th Street.
"The benefits and effects just don't justify the cost
and I don't think we can maintain the right-of-way,"
he said.
He said he would support one of the options west
of 27th Street because it is part of the city's compre
hensive plan.

"My initial leaning is towards the 19th Street
corridor (as opposed to a 22nd Street option). It
would be less destructive to the neighborhoods,"
he said.
Steinman said his proposal to study composting
as a solution to Lincoln's landfill problems will be on
the council agenda next week.
A proposal to build an $85 million plant to burn
trash and generate steam for northeast Lincoln indust
ries failed Tuesday.
Omaha study
He said an Omaha study found that that city's
needs could be met with a $1 million composting
plant, but the city rejected the idea.
But, Steinmen said, Omaha tries to fix the
problems after they become problems. Lincoln is far
sighted enough to anticipate problems and find so
lutions, he added.
"The question will be, 'Is there a market for the
product, the fertilizer, that comes out?' But who cares?
It's so cheap in comparison with the $85 million for
trash burning. We could use it (the fertilizer) in the
city parks or give it away to public institutions,"
he said.
Mike Dekalb, city energy planner, said a Lincoln
composting plant would cost $17 million. .
"The Omaha study called for the use of sludge and
the paunch manure they could get at the Omaha
stockyards. We don't have paunch manure or any
other bulk materials like wood chips or peanut shells, so
we 'd have to refine the garbage."
"Hie cost difference is in the machinery and the separ
ation of organic and inorganic material," he said.
In answer to another question, Steinman said he
would not run for mayor in the next election.
"I'm just happy to be doing what I'm doing," he
said.
Budget cuts do not
deter Health Center
The UNL Health Center expects ho budget cuts this
year.
Dr. Garland Bare, medical director, said because so
many budget cuts were made last year, the Health Center
is at rock bottom.
Last year, the clinic cut its health aid staff from 150
to 100. Bare said they are a little pressed, but can respond
to the students health care needs. Bare said some services
have been changed to self-supporting, such as dental ser
vices, and students will now be charged to see a
specialist. This was done to take pressure off student fees,
he said.
Bare said he hopes the center can avoid cutting ser
vices or raising student fees next year. He said that it will
depend upon the increase in cost of medical equipment
and services this year.
He said they are running the center tighter than, ever
- and are constantly studying ways to save on costs.
The center is obtaining future financing by way of
grants and especially by endowments. Bare said, "I'm
hoping that Nebraska citizens will do a great service for
the University in providing such things as endowments."
He mentioned the Health centers at Kansas, Kansas
State, and Colorado which increased their medical fa
cilities and services because of endowments from priv
ate citizens.
The UNL clinic has added oral surgery to its dental
program this year, but the service is paid for by the
patients.
