Comet to light Christmas sky
North Americans, west of a line
running from Mexico City to St.
Louis, will get an extra Christmas
treat this year. On Dec. 25, at 6:16
am. (CST), an artificial comet
will appear in the sky 4 degrees to
the right of the star Spica, in the
constellation Virgo, and then
move west toward the star Regu
lus in Leo. The "comet" is part of
an experiment being undertaken
by 48 scientists from three differ
ent countries to give the best look
yet at the way the solar wind
interacts with the Earth's mag
netic field.
The scientists have sent up
three space crafts which literally
will paint the sky with barium
and lithium. Both of which will
turn to glowing ions as the sun's
energy strips away the electrons,
and then the scientists will ob
serve the baths of the gasses as
they spread across the sky.
What should be seen in Ne
braska will be a reddish-yellow,
then green then purple, expand
ing comet-like ball with a tail. The
comet-like ball will start as a dot
the size of Polarus, and at maxi
mum size the artificial comet
should be at least one-sixth the
size of the full moon. It will be
visible with the naked eye for about
three minute3, and then with bino
culars for about 10 minutes, if all
goes according to plan. Gerhard
Haerendel, one of the group's
leaders, hopes that the "tail" will
get as bright as a moonlit cloud,

The regents also discussed plans
for the proposed veterinary sci
ence program. The board approv
ed a proposed change in legisla
tion that would allow the univer
sity to establish cooperative a
greements with existing colleges
of veterinary medicine.
Payne, chairman of the board's
agriculture subcommittee, said
the program could reduce live
stock death and disease 3 percent
and add $1 26 million to the state's
economy within 10 years. About
21 percent of all livestock is lost
to disease each year, he said.
"Research is the key" Payne
said. "We've 'got to do everything
we can to help the agriculture
economy of our state."
Last week, Payne, NU President
Ronald Roskens, and other uni
versity officials toured colleges of
veterinary medicine at Mississippi
State University and Kansas State
University.
Payne said officials from both
schools have shown interest in
the federal animal and research
center Clay Center. The center
would be accessible to students
in the program. It would be re
modeled as part of the program
and new facilities would also be
contructed on UNL's East
Campus.
NU would have joint responsi
bility for setting policies for cur
riculum, academic standards, and
student admissions.
Payne said the federal govern
ment will match university funds
ofnearly $7.5 million to construct
clinical facilities in Nebraska, but
said federal funds will be availa
ble only until October 1 986.
Payne said the program will be
at only half the cost of the original
estimate needed to open a full
fledge veterinary school in Lin
coln. ' A proposal for a regional vete
rinary medicine college at UNL
was dropped when supporters
could nt get other states to com
mit to sending students to it.
The board also approved a $2.15
million bond issue for land acqui
sition and parking facilities at
UNL.':-
UNL officials are considering
buying land north, south and east
of the university for parking lots.
The bonds would be paid for with
parking fees and fines.
1 A bid for the general contract
work on additions to the Scott
Engineering Center and Nebraska
Hall were also approved.
The board approved a bid of
$1.13 million from M.W. Ander
son Construction Co. for con
struction of a connecting link
between the two buildings. The
project will be paid for with dona
tions to the NU Foundation.
The board also approved a
change of salary for head football
coach Tom Osborne. Osborne, who
also serves as assistant athletic
director and assistant professor
of educational psychology and
social foundations, will have his
current salary of $69,930 raised
to $78,000. The new salary will
run through 1988.
Athletic director Bob Devaney
received a special all-year ap
pointment from the regents, ex
tending his contract beyond the
mandatory retirement age of 70.
His current salary is $64,500.
Douglas...
CoatiKQcd fra p- 1
Morrow also said Douglas has
been wrongly linked to Common
wealth's demise. But he reminded
the jurors that Douglas' alleged
actions all occurred after the
financial institution had closed
Some people applauded as
prosecutors Kirk E. Nayior and
Vincent Valentino left the court
room. ,
Douglas was impeached by the
Legislature in March, but acquit
ted by the Nebraska Supreme
Court. A Lancaster County Court
indicted him in June.
