Sen. Elroy Hefner of Coleridge said he supports the amendment add ing funding for greenhouse renova tion because greenhouse research is valuable to the agricultural industry in the state. “Millions and millions of dollars are added to our economy because of agriculture,” Hefner said. But Sen. Chris Abboud of Omaha said he opposes any additional green house funding. Abboud said the original funding for llic greenhouses was for a “last ing greenhouse, not one that falls apart after 10 or 11 years.” The NU Board of Regents should be accountable for (he problems with the greenhouses because they knew about the funding cuts when the greenhouses were built, he said. ‘‘The buck stops with the Board of Regents in university matters,” Ab boud said. “They knew what they were get ting into when they (the greenhouses) were built back in 1977, he said.^ “Now they have to pay the piper.

Sen. Howard Lamb of Ansclmo said that despite mistakes already made, there is no need “to blame’’ anyone for the problems in the green houses. Sen. Jerome Warner of Wavcrly said that when the greenhouses were built, “everyone was comfortable” with the original project plan. Warner, chairman of the Appro priations Committee, said the com mittee recommended $1 million worth of funding for the project, rec ognizing only the immediate work that needs to be completed. “Obviously $1.7 would do it bet ter,” Warner said. Yet Warner said he would not support any more than $1 million for greenhouse renovation because the project was rated 14th on the regents’ priority request. Warner said he wants to keep appropriations funding at a “reasonable total.” Sen. Scott Moore of Stromsburg agreed, saying $1.7 million would be too much. The amendment to provide the additional funding was voted down 19-23.
