Nebraska Highway Dept Proposes $117 Million 1977-78 Plan
The Nebraska Department of Roads unveiled a $117 million highway program for 1977-78, covering 417 miles on state routes but excluding interstate or local roads. State Engineer David Coolidge said the plan, largest in department history, relies on $59.5 million state funds, $50.2 million federal aid, and $7.3 million local money, with a five-year program projected at over $422 million and projects prioritized by district and interstate readiness.

Bidding war worry in college agricultural research
Dr. Martin Massengale of the University of Nebraska Lincoln argues that large scale competitive grants would raise costs and reduce efficiency versus continuing studies at land grant experiment stations. He notes ongoing land grant research yields high benefit to cost and stresses need for continuity, integrated results, and staff funding. He cites wheat breeding at UNL as a low cost, high yield success and urges allowing competitive funding for outside researchers while preserving core land grant work.

Louisiana disease proposal stirs debate in Senate
Louisiana lawmakers clash over a tongue in cheek bid to name infectious mononucleosis the state virus and strep infection the state bacteria while backing a real move to make the honeybee the state insect. The bill threatens wheat grading changes tied to kernel color and protein content with potential harm to Nebraska exports and foreign buyers amid disputed standards.
