Pco 10 Thursday, August SO, Dally Ncbrcskan 'Quiet Streets' program will help control noise ieve) Kv Eric Grcfary Nohe officials from the Lincoln Lancaster County Health Depart ment and Lincoln police ofilccrs will team up in September to enforce Lincoln's "Quiet Streets" program. The program b design ed to eliminate overly noisy cars, trucks and motorcycles from the streets, a noise control and occu pational specialist said Tuesday. Robert Rist said the noise prob lem has grown steadily. He said he thinks the lack of state vehicle inspection is part of the problem. The health department is try- .HIT '( .0 VI vm C& (IHlrO ST; Over 950 Scl-Fi Books Available Paperback Book Exchange We trade andor sell used (t paperbacks including books usea in in. classes.

Public Information and free noise level checks were offered In the past, he said. The "big stick aspect" will be used in September when sound metering equipment will be set up to catch and cite violators. Capt. Ed Ragatz of the Lincoln Police Department said most complaints have come from neigh borhoods bordering 0 St. between 40th and 56th streets. Ragatz said the area the most popular 900 Continued from Page 1 Edwards said he hopes to con tinue the work of former presi dent John Christian in securing cable for the halls, but installa tion before next spring is unlikely. Although RHA set improved relations vith ASUN as one of its goals, Edwards said much bitter ness remains from last spring's polling issue and the lack of co operation from ASUN president Mark Scudder's administration. "We're the largest organization IA mMntt fiction of Lincoln will be the focal point of the enforce ment operation. Health officials will set up sound equipment and will radio to near by police cruisers when they hear a loud vehicle. Police officials said they plan to stop the cars and issue citations. No warning or fix-it tickets will be Issued. However, Rist said, citations will be excused with proof that the exhaust system has been fixed. Thb provision will not apply to offenders who have been tick eted for noise in the last year or on campus with 4,800 members, but so far Mark and the ASUN leadership haven't shown much response to the needs of resi dence hall students." Another issue will be campus security, Edwards said. RHA will try to keep an eye on areas where lighting is a problem and may begin a membership drive to help an ailing student watch program, he said. Another item to be addressed who have had prior offenses such as speeding. In 1976 the federal government set maximum decibel levels of 76 for cars, BO for motorcycles and 00 for trucks. A 62-63 decibel level Is normal for passing traffic Rist said anything over 75 dedbels is loud. Police will ticket anyone who Is three decibels over the government limit. The noise b mostly a nuisance but also is a health hazard, Rist said. Loud noise has been proven harmful to fetuses and linked to stress and learning disabilities in children, he said. at the first RHA meeting is a proposal to change the bylaws re garding presidential succession. Under the current bylaws, the vice president automatically becomes president when the pres ident resigns. Since Edwards was elevated to vice president last April, he was never elected by hall residents. The change in by laws would allow the entire RHA council to nominate and vote on the president, so hall residents could be represented better.
