pressure on items like blood bags to
destroy any bacteria so the materials
become non-infectious. Blood prod
ucts can be dumped in land-fills after
being autoclaved,
Stanard said the materia! found in
the alley Sunday was autoclaved.
“Anything infectious is auto
claved before it leaves the center
(building),” Stanard said. “It’s stan
dard procedure.”
He said the FDA also requires the
plasma center to place all infectious
material in a locked dumpster
Stanard said he didn’t know why the
material was not locked up over the
weekend.
Stanard said the Lincoln Plasma
Corp. has a “very good record” of
disposing of waste materials. He also
said the center is “very conscious”
of employee and public health, and
works to slay within existing guide
lines.
Richard Diegel, a maintenance
worker for the State Museum of His
tory at 15th and P streets, said he has
called the county health department
twice to complain about general de
bris from the plasma center lying near
the museum’s dumpster.
Diegel said this is the first time he
has seen blood bags near the mu
seum’s garbage. He said he has seen
bloodied swabs and saline bags be
fore.
The museum has placed a lock on
its dumpsters to keep out can pickers,
he said.
Another reason for the lock is to
keep trash from the Lincoln Plasma
Corp out of the museum 's dumpster,
Diegel said.

Janet West, president ol the UNO
faculty union and assoc iate professor
of economics, said L’NL faculty
members arc ‘ at the mercy of the
administration because they do not
have a union or collective bargaining
agreement.
Since UNO has a collective bar
gaining agreement. West said, arbi
tration is a “strike-substitute” proc
ess.
Voclt/ said there have been two
attempts to unionize faculty mem
hers at l NL in ihe past, noth at
tempts. in 1076-77 and 10X3-84,
were unsuccessful, he said.
Robert Diffendal, president of the
UNL faculty senate, said that instead
ol arbitration at UNL, the faculty
senate, administration and the
American Association ol University
Professors recommend salary in
creases to the Legislature.
Jim McShanc, vice president of
the executive committee of the UNL
faculty senate, said, “Traditionally,
UNL has done belter w ithout collec
tive bargaining than UNO has done
w-ith it.“
Shop. 1428 0 St., said he also has had
problems with the plasma center’s
trash being dumped in his business’
dumpster.
“It has only recently become a
problem,’’ White said.
“I don’t see it as any big prob
lem,’’ he said. “I just wish they’d ask
our permission when they use our
dumpster.’’
White said he contacted the
plasma center last Thursday or Friday
to complain about the use of his
dumpster.
But, White said, the manager was
out of town, and an assistant manager
told him she would take care of it.
The next da>, White said, there
were even more boxes from the
plasma center in his dumpster.
Stanard said he was unaware until
recently of complaints by other busi
nesses about the use of their d umpstcr
by the plasma center.
“If that has happened,” Stanard
said, “We would like Shrader (the
refuse company who picks up the
trash from die dumpsters) tc provide
another dumpster.
An official from the Shrader Ref
use Company said Monday he would
not comment on the incidents until
after he has talked to all parties in
volved.
