Gasahol
Continued from Page 1
One of those resources is Nebraska’s
com, a lot of which is used to produce
gasohol, Coffey said.
Gasohol is a clean-buming and
higher octane fuel than regular gaso
line, he said, which helps control air
pollution.
The fuel has a mixture of 90 per
cent regular gasoline and 10 percent
alcohol, Coffey said.
Alcohol is a solvent that removes
deposits left in engines by regular
gasolines, he said.
The deposits get into I ucl lines and
spark plugs and can cause an engine
to run badly, he said.
But alcohol can deteriorate gas
kets in the engines of some cars, Coffey
said.
Col fey said he hopes gasohol use
at UNL will set an example to “all
citizens in Lincoln and beyond” to
use the fuel.

Legislature defeats handgun bill
By Victoria Ayotte
Senior Reporter
A final attempt to pass a bill
requiring a waiting period before
purchasing a handgun was defeated
Tuesday — with the sponsor’s ap
proval.
Sen. Brad Ashford of Omaha
said that although he feels strongly
about the bill,
he will wait
until next year
to reintroduce
a handgun
waiting pe
riod.
The Legis
lature already
had voted on
the bill twice,
and failed to
advance it both times, Ashford said.
“I respect the body’s wishes,”
he said, because it considered the
proposal three times.
Sen. Ernie Chambers, however,
made the motion to consider the
bi 11 because he said senators should
overrule the speaker’s agenda and
advance LB642 as they did several
other controversial bills Tuesday.
The bill originally was not on the
agenda.
“I think it’s fair to do this,”
Chambers said.
The bill has merit, Chambers
said, because “the purpose for
inventing guns was to kill,” and
requiring a permit and subsequent
waiting period might deter some
would-be crimes of passion.
Ashford agreed with that analy
sis.
“It’s hard for me to understand
how someone can be pro-life ...
and not support a short waiting
period for the purchase of a hand
gun,” Ashford said.
Sen. Elroy Hefner of Coleridge
opposed the motion and said ap
proving it would be different from
the morning’s successful motion to
overrule the speaker’s agenda and
advance nine bills.
Two votes on a bill are different
from none, he said.
Sen. Stan Schellpeper of Stan
ton opposed the motion for a dif
ferent reason.
“All we’re doing now is just
wasting time,” Schellpeper said,
because only three days are left in
the legislative session. “Let’s go
on to something that will be worth
while.”
The motion failed on a 3-16
vote.
Senators approved a motion by
Sen. Tim Hall of Omaha to over
rule the agenda and return to con
sideration of bills that were on
Monday’s agenda.
The Legislature passed over the
first three of those measures, how
ever, which deal with restructuring
of higher education governance.
The restructuring proposals,
LR239CA, LB1141 and LB 1141 A,
are on the agenda today.
