Research and development board
eirrey says LB850 will
By Kent Endacott
Senior Reporter
Gov. Bob Kerrey predicted Monday
that the Legislature will approve a
research and development board in
Nebraska.
Kerrey, speaking at a Legislative
breakfast, said LB850, which could
increase research funding for NU, has
more than enough support to appro
priate the requested $2 million in state
funding. The bill would establish a
board of directors who would delegate
research funds benefitting economic
development in the state.
DN third overall
"Research is tough for us to appre
ciate," Kerrey said. "But high- and low
tech business benefit from the research
being done at the university and pri
vate laboratories like Dorsey and Norden
labs. I expect that in five to seven years
it will really pay off."
In January, the Banking Committee
advanced LB850 to the full Legislature.
Sen. Patricia Morehead of Beatrice,
the sponsor of LB850, said the bill
implies that funding for research will
increase annually.
"The thrust of the authority is to
broaden the state's economic base,"
Morehead said. "The authority will

Kerrey also called for Nebraska's
farmers to "attack the marketplace
more vigorously."
He said farmers should try to cater
more specifically to consumer's tastes.
"For example," he said, "farmers
should work for certification of red
meat, guaranteed to contain no more
than 20 percent fat, which would be
less than chicken. It's the kind of thing
that we've got to do. You're going to sell
a lot of the product."
Kerrey said a food processing insti
tute, which he proposed in his January
State of the State Address, would help
revive Nebraska's economy. He said,
however, the loss of Lowell Satterlee,
director of the UNL food processing
center, will hurt the food processing
industry in Nebraska.
Satterlee has been hired by Penn
sylvania State University to direct a'
similar program there.
SCUM
excluded
accidentally
By Deb Hooker
Staff Reporter
The SCUM Party wasn't intentionally
left outvof last Thursday's debate
between ASUN candidates, said Jerry
Roemer, a member of the University
Committee for Committees, which
organized the debate.
Roemer, responding to a letter writ
ten by SCUM's second vice presidential
candidate, Geoff McMurtry, that was
published in the Daily Nebraskan Mon
day, said the committee excluded SCUM
from the debate because it didn't know
the party was on the ballot. SCUM can
didates missed a mandatory meeting
on Feb. 12, so the ASUN electorial
commission took them off the ballot,
Roemer said.
Although the party was put back in
the running when they appealed the
decision to the electorial commission,
Roemer said they were too late to
appear on the first sample ballot pub
lished in the Daily Nebraskan on Feb.
20.
The committee invited all the par
ties listed on that ballot to the debate,
Roemer said.
In his letter, McMurtry said that
ASUN intentionally slighted his party
by excluding SCUM from the debate.
But, Roemer said, ASUN had nothing
to do with organizing the debate. The
committee is an ad-hoc organization
approved by ASUN, but not controlled
by it, he said.
McMurtry said Monday that although
he now understands SCUM wasn't in
tentionally slighted, his party still feels
that ASUN elections are unimportant.
"Whatever the Regents and the ad
ministrators want to do, they're going
, to do," he said. "ASUN is more of a lab
for political science."
"The questions we're asking are still
the same," McMurtry said. "Is there a
point to all this?"
