UNL given grant
to finance study
of wetland areas
UNL has been awarded a $12,400 congressional grant
to study the wetland areas in the Sandhills, Central Platte
Valley and Rainwater Basin in Nebraska.
The study is being conducted by the Great Plains
Office of Policy Studies, a division of the Center for Great
Plains Studies at UNL. Current trends in the use and
condition of these wetland areas will be investigated,
according to study coordinator Larry D. Swanson.
Swanson, administrator of the Great Plains Office, said
the study also will evaluate the effectiveness of current
policies to protect Nebraska's wetlands because "much of
the state's wetland acreage has been gradually lost or de
graded over the years with the situation becoming increas
ingly critical."
These wetland areas are nationally significant as critical
staging and stop over points for North American
migratory waterfowl, Swanson said. Nebraska's wetlands
provide the right habitat and food necessary during the
waterfowl's migration.
The findings of the Nebraska study and 10 other case
studies being conducted throughout the United States will
combine into a national analysis by the Office of Tech
nology Assessment. That office will then provide an
analysis for the Congress in order to aid congressmen in
making future legislation concerning U.S. wetlands.
New poet laureate
name due Sept. 11
Nebraskans should know by Sept. 1 1 if they have a
new poet laureate, according to state Sen. Dave Landis of
Lincoln.
I!ie.se"ch for a Poet laureate to replace the late John
G. Neihardt, who died in 1973, began when a resolution
sponsored by Landis was passed in the 1982 state legis
lature. The search has been supervised by the Nebraska
Humanities Commission, which picked the selection com
mittee, said commission chairman Nelson Potter.
The committee is completely independent of the
humanities commission, Potter said.
There is a possibility that the committee will suggest
that no one be selected as poet laureate. Potter said the
committee spent a considerable amount of time discussing
whether to have a new poet laureate at all. For this
reason, the process, including naming of candidates, must
be kept confidential, he said.
Neihardt, Nebraska's first and only poet laureate, died
Nov. 3, 1973 in Columbia, Mo. He was famous for such
Nebraska and Great Plains-related works as "Black Elk
Speaks'" and "Cycle of the West."
Potter said the criteria for poet laureate are very loose.
The person doesn't have to be a native Nebraskan or even
live in the state.
The candidate must- simply have written something
about the state or the region, he said.
If the candidate had to be a Nebraska native, Willa
Cather would have been ineligible, Potter said, because she
was born in Virginia.
