The NU Board of Regents
Wednesday reduced a repair budget
for the 12-year-old University of
Nebraska College of Pharmacy
building from original estimates of
$4.5 million to $3.4 million.
The building, located at the Uni
versity of Nebraska Medical Center
in Omaha, was completed in Novem
ber 1976 at a cost of $2.8 million.
Don Lcucnbcrgcr, UNMC vice
chancellor for business and finance,
said the safety of the pharmacy build
ing has been questioned for the last
seven years. Twenty-four faculty
members and about 200 graduate
pharmacy students use the building.
The regents listened to reports
Irom various architectural consult
ants, including Aian Yee, a Honolulu
engineer employed by Leo A. Daly,
an Omaha architectural firm paid to
evaluate the building’s safety.
Yee told regents the building was
unsafe to the point that a heavy snow
storm could collapse the entire four
story structure, according to reports
from The Associated Press.

Senators add amendments
on Indian remains bill
By Ryan Steeves
Staff Reporter
After adding two amendments,
state senators gave second-round
approval March 27 to a bill requiring
the Nebraska State Historical Society
to return identifiable skeletal remains
and burial goods to American Indian
tribes.
The bill, LB340, now advances to
final reading, where senators will
vote on whether to make it law.
One of the amendments gives the
historical society one year to com
plete its study of identifiable skeletal
remains currently in its possession.
The lime limit would begin once the
language of the bill is implemented
into law.
The amendment passed after sena
tors defeated a proposal to increase
the time limit to 1 1/2 years. Sen. Don
Wescly of Lincoln introduced the
proposal, saying it was a compromise
between the one-year proposal and a
three-year proposal supported by
Sen. Jerome Warner of Waverly.
Sen. Dennis Baack of Kimball
said the historical society has had
many of the remains for 50 years. He
said he concurs with Attorney Gen
eral Robert Spire’s opinion that says
the historical society has had the
remains long enough to study.
The opinion says the state has had
the burial remains and goods ” for 47
years too long,” Baack said.
Warner withdrew his proposal for
a three-year time limit after Wcscly’s
amendment failed.
Senators also passed an amend
ment that sets the guidelines for re
solving disputes over skeletal re
mains and burial goods.
The amendment, introduced by
Sen. David Bcrnard-Stevcns of North
Platte, would create an administra
tive group to resolve disputes.
The group would be comprised of
an Indian representative and a histori
cal society representative, Bcrnard
Stevcns said. Those two representa
tives would choose a third adminis
trator to complete the group, he said.
If the the two representatives can
not agree on a third administrator
within 15 days, the state ombudsman
would automatically fill the position.

cago structural engineer, said in a
videotaped presentation that the
building is stronger than Yee’s “ex
tremely conservative” opinion, the
AP reported.
Yec offered a plan to repair the
building that was accepted by the
board.
Lcuenbcrger said the plan was
“markedly different” than the origi
nal and more expensive plan ap
proved in March.
“Dr. Yec is an expert in this type
of construction,” Lcuenbcrger said,
calling the plan “innovative and
creative.”
Lcuenbcrger said Yec also is will
ing to certify that the building will
