Initiative 402
defeated Tuesday
By Adam T. Branting
Staff Reporter
Initiative 402, which would have
withdrawn Nebraska from the Central
Interstate Low-Level Radioactive
Waste Compact and would have
stopped the construction of a waste
site in Nebraska, was defeated in
Tuesday’s election.
With 62 percent of the vote
counted at 11 p.m. Tuesday, 212,367
Nebraskans voted against the initia
tive while 122,997 voted for it
Don Adams, campaign manager
for the Committee Against 402, said
the defeat of the initiative will allow
the state to continue the disposal of
nuclear waste.
Adams said his committee has
worked to change the “misrepresen
tation of the truth” by the Nebraskans
for the Right to Vote and their sup
porters.
Using donations from nuclear
power plants within the compact,
Adams said his group went into many
“hostile areas” of the stale to talk
about benefits ol the compact.
“We never left a community w ith
out turning people’s heads around,”
Adams said.
Sam Wclsch, executive director
for Nebraskans for the Right to Vote,
said Adams and his committee have
spread fallacies.
Wclsch accused the committee of
using higher taxes as a “scare tactic.”
In addition, he said, several medical
doctors who allegedly signed a peti
tion against 402 have been dead since
March.
Adams rebutted Wclsch’s com
ments, claiming Wclsch had “lost his
head,” and has hurled wild accusa
tions.
“If a beekeeper (Wclsch) has the
same credentials as the dean of
Creighton Medical School, then I’ll
speak with him,” Adams said.

Students work on computers in the Coe Computer Center in
the College of Business Administration Building. Although
not part of the computer Resource Center, Coe Lab is
another place students can use computers.
I
UNL spends $23,000
on Macintosh computers
By Shawn Schuldies
Staff Reporter __
The Computing Resource Center
recently received 13 new Macintosh
computers paid for by the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln general operat
ing budget worth about $23,000 to
help keep up with student demand,
said a university official.
Scott McDowell, facilities man
ager for the center, said student use of
computers across campus has steadily
increased during the past 2 to 3 years.
More students know how to use the
computers, so more studen ts are using
them, McDowell said.
There are now 76 instead of 63
Macintosh computers and 17 IBM
computers on campus.
To deal with the rising number of
students using the labs, the number of
hours the labs stay open has also
increased, especially on the week
ends, McDowell said.
The labs usually arc open from 9
a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through
Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to
10 p.m. Sunday.
Students can increase their
chances of finding an open computer
by coming to the lab at less popular
hours and by planning ahead,
McDowell said.
Most students I ike to use the labs in
the afternoon and between classes, he
said. The labs usually have open
computers in the evenings and week
ends, he said.
Students’ tendency to do work at
the last minute can also cause over
crowding in the labs, McDowell said.
If everyone in a class of 150 wants to
work on an assignment the night be
fore it’s due, McDowell said, there
obviously won’t be enough comput
ers to go around.
If students plan to do their work
ahead of time, he said, they can beat
the rush.
If students want more computers,
McDowell said, they should talk to
the NU Board of Regents or slate
senators about funding. Funding for
the computers comes from the state
Legislature and from tuition, he said.
The computing labs arc located at
Scllcck Quadrangle, Hcn/.lik Hall,
Andrews Hall, Sandoz Hall, Nell
Cochrane Woods Art Building,
Avery Hall, Bancroft Hall and CBA
Those labs contain Mac Pluses, Mac
SEs or IBM PCs.
