New faculty position will boost water research, link campuses By Juliet Yenglin Staff Reporter To enhance cooperation between two university institutions, a new faculty position in the water science research program has been established, said Bob Volk, director of the Uni T versity of Nebraska-Lincoln Water Center. “The best place to start this posi tion would be where there is already some existing expertise” and the University of Nebraska Medical Center provides this experience, Volk said. The position will be located in the UNMC pharmacy department, which will supply space and additional re sources. Creating and filling the faculty position, which was made possible with funding from the Nebraska Re search Initiative, will integrate the water science program with existing medical research. Hiring an agrichemical water toxi cologist will develop a strong research program, complement the existing programs and enhance cooperation between the two campuses, Volk said. The main task of the toxicologist is to “develop a collaborative pro gram to study the health effects of nitrates and pesticides in drinking water, both in animal models and humans, including interactive effects,” according to a Water Center press release. The appointee also will seek out side funding, supervise graduate students and participate in intcrcam pus toxicology and water-related teach ing and research activities. Interviews for the position will begin within the next few months, r Research scientists win two-year grant scientists irom me university of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Nontraditional Manufacturing Research have won a two-year grant. The scientists won the $ 120,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a control system for the abrasive flow ma chining process. AFM is a process used to finish parts from hardened steels, com posites and other modem manu facturing materials. The process forces an abrasive putty to flow over the material’s surface, remov ing excess material. -POLICE REPOR7-1 nr. j_■_ .... ... ” * vUIICjIKIT y Aug. 28 8:41 a.m.—Awning burned, Ruth Staples Child Development Labo ratory, $25. 9:48 a.m. — Female had seizure, Henzlik Hall. 9:48 a.m. — Backpack stolen, Abel Residence Hall Food Service, $85. 9:58 a.m. — Property damage — vehicle door slammed into another vcmcie aoor, parking 101 norm oi UNL police headquarters. 2:30 p.m. —^Bookbag stolen, Uni versity Bookstore, $100. 3:11 p.m. — Wallet stolen, loop by Coliseum, $10. 3:15 p.m. — Bookbag stolen.
