Nebraska's police now enforcing
laws banning drug paraphernalia
By Chris Hodges
Police in Nebraska have been given the
go-ahead to arrest people for violating anti
drug paraphernalia laws. Under "ban the
bong" legislation, it is illegal to possess,
sell, manufacture, deliver or advertise items
intended for use with controlled
substances.
"The statutes are now enforceable,"
according to Lancaster County Attorney
Mike Heavican. Although the state law was
passed in 1980, it had not been enforceable
for the past two years because its constitut
ionality was being challenged in court.
Items have to be identified as parapher
nalia for drug use before an arrest can be
made, Heavican said. Shops that sell pipes
and other items for smoking tobacco still
can operate legally, he said.
According to Capt. Ron Flansburg of
the Lincoln Police Department, police can
use their own observations as a basis for
making an arrest. Citizens also can file a
complaint with the county attorney if they
suspect a violation. The county attorney's
office will see that an investigation is made,
he said.
Flansburg said the following items are
among those that constitute cause for
arrest or citation if police believe they are
Health Center

on alcoholism
Alcohol Awareness pro
grams were the main topic
of discussion Wednesday at
the Health Center Student
Advisory Board meeting.
Board member James
Buckley attended a meeting
last week with the Inter
Fraternity Council on form
ing an alcohol awareness
program on campus.
Buckley said IFC would be
setting up the program, and
the health center would act
as a referral service by di
recting the problem drinkers
to independent community
organizations such as Alco
holics Anonymous or the
Drug Crisis Center.
Because the IFC program
would focus primarily on
fraternity members, board
member Andrea Marinko
vich suggested that the
health center board form a
separate program to reach
out to the other students
on campus.
A committee of board
members was formed to re
search and write letters to
schools that already have
successful alcohol awareness
programs. From this infor
mation, the board will de
cide what course of action
would be taken on a sep
arate program and what the
role of the health aides will
be in the program.
Administrator Steve
Blom reported on last
week's National Meeting of
College Health Centers in
Seattle, Wash., which he
attended.
"We are one of the lead
ing health centers in the
nation," Blom said.
Blom also said that
Marinkovich, who also at
tended the conference, was
elected secretarytreasurer
of the organization.
Richard Armstrong, vice
chancellor of Student Af
fairs, and Chancellor Martin
Massengale approved a pro
posal to hire a wellness co
ordinator with the existing
health center funds.
The board supported
Blom's suggestion that a
Wellness Week be planned
for next fall. The project
will be financed by a
$500 grant from Lancaster
county which is to be used
to coordinate the health
center with the city health
centers.
intended for drug use: pipes, water bongs,
joint clips, cocaine spoons, small vials,
syringes and needles, sifters for cleaning
marijuana, and substances such as quinine,
lactose and mannitol for cutting drugs.
The following circumstances are hypo
thetical cases in which police may make an
arrest or citation. They do not constitute
a full listing.
1 . Item in car. Police identify the item
as intended for drug use. If the item is ly
ing in the car, the person in control of the
car is held responsible, Flansburg said. If
the item is on a person in the car, that
particular person is held responsible.
2. Item in close proximity to other
drug-use items or controlled substances. A
baggie on a supermarket shelf is legal, but a
baggie next to a stash of marijuana is illegal
paraphernalia, Flansburg said.
Anti-drug paraphernalia laws carry pen
alties for misdemeanors ranging from class
one to class five. A class one misdemeanor
carries a penalty of not more than one year
imprisonment, or a $1,000 fine or both.
For a class five misdemeanor, a person may
be fined up to $100. Flansburg said most
penalties for violation of the "ban the
bong" laws will fall between these two extremes.
