Road construction
creates 'beastly'
driving difficulties
By James A. Fcsscll
. Driving to a Nebraska football game is only
slightly more difficult than mailing an octopus
via parcel post That's on good days.
This fall, however, road construction
projects threaten to add an extra tentacle to
the transportation problem. Road repairs
inside and just outside of Lincoln also could
make driving difficult for motorists going to
the Nebraska State Fair, which begins Friday
and runs through Sept. 12, and to a John
Denver concert scheduled for Sept 10. That,
incidentally, is also the date of the first
Nebraska home football game.
. Kelly Sieckmeyer, a traffic engineering
technician employed by the state Department
of Transportation, said the worst problems for
drivers will come from the road widening at
'South 48th Street between Newton and
Pawnee streets, and the intersection
construction at 70th Street and Pioneers
Boulevard. The projects are scheduled to be
complete in December, and .October,
respectively. -
Brides construction, cn Highway 6 at 84th
Street may cause problems for motorists
driving from Omaha. They will be forced to
detour from Interstate 80 at the 56th Street
exit and take Highway 77 to Cornhusker Highway.
Another recommended alternate route is to
exit at the airport interchange, Sieckmeyer
said.

Lincoln men arraigned
- . ...
on cocaine charges
.By Latui Hopple '
Two UNL students and another Lincoln man were
arraigned Thursday in County District Court on
charges of possession and delivery of cocaine. -
Lt. Al Maxey of the Lincoln Police Department
said agents from the Lancaster County Narcotics
Unit and the Nebraska State Patrol made the
arrests Wednesday and seized three-quarters to one
pound of cocaine worth an estimated $100,000 to
$200,000, No other details of the arrests were
released. .
UNL student Kurt Eberhardt, 28, of 500 W.
Harvest Drive was charged with three felony counts
of delivery of cocaine.
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas Jaudzemis said the
charges stemed from cocaine deliveries Eberhardt
allegedly made on March 22, April 1 1 and May 1 1.
Rodney Rozanek, 20, of 672 W. Lakeshore Drive, is
also a UNL student. He was charged with three
counts of delivery of cocaine, stemming from
deliveries he allegedly made on March 2, April 1 1
and Aug. 31.
The third man, Juan Vargas-Manchego, of 6140
N.W. Ninth St., was charged with one count of
possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. The
cocaine was seized at the time of Vargas-Manchego's
arrest v
Vargas-Manchego and Eberhardt are citizens of
Peru, South America. ,
Vargas-Manchego, a railroad employee, has lived
in Lincoln for more than eight years.
Eberhardt has lived in Lincoln for 10 years.
County District Court Judge Jeffre Cheuvront
posted a $10,000 bond for Eberhardt and Rozanek
and released them on their own recognizance.
Cheuvront set Vargas-Manchego's bond at $20,000.
Vargas-Manchego paid the mandatory 10 percent
and was released.
The court ordered that Vargas-Manchego's
passport be held by the court and that he not leave
Lancaster County except for employment reasons.
The three men were ordered to appear in court
Sept. 12 at 9 a.m. to request or waive a preliminary
hearing.
Jaudzemis declined to comment on whether the
arrests were connected.
Maxey said that the Lancaster County Narcotics
Unit, made up of Lincoln and UNL police, began an
undercover investigation in the case "several
months ago" on the university campus.

Five Nebraska state senators are scheduled to
leave today for South Africa, despite some controv
ersy over the South African government paying for
the trip.
Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha says the trip is
"propaganda" for the South African government The
government will determine what the senators will
see and hear, he said.
Chambers introduced a bill barring investments
of public pension funds in corporations doing busi
ness in South Africa This prompted the South
African government's invitation.
Senators making the trip are John DeCamp of
Neligh, Glenn Goodrich of Omaha, Rex Haberman of
Imperial, Lowell Johnson of North Bend and Loran
Schmit of Bellwood.
Judy Gant of Lincoln Tour and Travel estimated
the cost per person for the trip is about $5,000,
including air fare, meals and hotel accomodations.
Haberman said the fact that the South African
government is paying for the trip is not a reason to
decline the invitation (South Africa's government
has long been under fire for its policy of apartheid,
the separation of races and white supremacy).
"People in my district think it's great because
we're not using the taxpayers' money," Haberman
said. 1
Senators making the trip are "sponges, mooches
and freeloaders," Chambers said. They have taken
stands on issues in Poland, Russia and Afghanis
tan without visiting those countries, he said.
Haberman said the trip is a chance for South
Africa to promote itself, but added it also is a chance
for the senators to promote Nebraska at no cost to
the state. .'" 1 - ' . ' -
DeCamp said barring investment with companies
that do business with South Africa would hurt the
United States.. : -
"It's disinvestment in America," he said.
DeCamp said Chambers's bill would financially
hurt employees such as teachers and judges whose
n funds are invested in corporations that
deal with South Africa.
He said before the Legislature passed the "pru
dent man rule" allowing the government to invest
pension funds in bonds "as any prudent man would"
the law limited types of investments that could be
made. The investments lost money, DeCamp said.
Goodrich declined to comment on the trip.
Den tlathes, Etate investment cfUcer, said since
the prudent man rule was enacted, the state can
invest up to 30 percent of a fund's assets in common
stock.
The state now has invested approximately $90
million in common stock. State law previously
limited such investments to $25 million.
Because values now are higher than when the
stocks were bought, the investments could realize a
$12 to $15 million profit if all stocks were sold,
Mathes said.
But Chambers said his bill would not cause a loss
for the pension investments because the money
could be invested in portfolios that do not deal with
South Africa.
He said before the government offered to pay, he
wrote to the country's general counsel about a trip.
He said his requests for freedom of travel, access
to various people and freedom from censorship of
any recordings of photos he took, were all denied.
Sen. Don Wesely of Lincoln had planned to make
the three week trip. But then he announced Aug. 25
that he would not be going because the South Afri
can government is paying for the trip.
