The Etchings Of J. Alden Weir, Norman Geske

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

J ALDEN WEIR 1852-1919

Julian AIden Weir, his daughter tells us, "grew up in the highlands of the Hudson Valley, and the world of nature remained at the center of his art and his life . . .. The road from the valley of the Hudson to the rolling hills of Connecticut, where he finally settled, led him through Paris and London, Brittany, the Low Countries, and Spain; and his professional life centered in the city of New York. But his heart was bound up with the quiet rhythms of the land, with his family and his friends."

That puts …

A Revision Of The Bees Of The Genus Andrena Of The Western Hemisphere. Part I. Callandrena. (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae), Wallace E. Laberge

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

This paper is the first part of a monograph of the bee genus Andrena in the western hemisphere and treats the subgenus Callandrena. Available data regarding phylogeny, distribution, biology, and flower preferences are presented together with keys to separate the species, diagnoses and descriptions of the species and discussions of geographic variation when applicable. Seventy-nine species and one subspecies are recognized. Sixteen names are relegated to synonymy, one to homonymy and eight are removed from the subgenus Callandrena. The thirty-nine species new to science are: aerifera, aeripes, afimbriata, ardis, auripes, balsamorhizae, beameri, bilimeki, bullata, calvata, dreisbachorum, fulminea, fulminoides, …

Plant Vs. Animal Protein As A Source Of Supplemental Protein For The Gilt, Dwane R. Zimmerman, E. R. Peo, Jr., D. B. Hudman

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Protein of animal origin has frequently been suggested to have greater nutritional value for swine reproduction than protein of plant origin. Moustgaard (1952) reported that gilts fed a diet in which the supplemental protein was of animal origin (soured separated milk) reached puberty earlier and had a greater ovulation rate and greater embryo survival and litter size at 26 to 29 days of gestation than gilts fed a diet in which the supplemental animal protein was replaced with protein of plant origin. Most of the advantage of the animal protein diet was eliminated when the all-plant diet was supplemented with …

1967 Beef Cattle Progress Report Of Research Activities, E. F. Frolik, H. W. Ottoson, J. L. Adams

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Oral feeding of stilbestrol or implanting with stilbestrol or Synovex has resulted in increased weight gain and efficiency of gain for cattle fed finishing rations.

Combining oral feeding or stilbestrol with implanting did not give increased performance above that obtained from oral stilbestrol alone in two tests. Implanting cattle fed oral stilbestrol at the start of the feeding program with either stilbestrol or Synovex gave a similar pattern of performance to that obtained from oral stilbestrol alone.

Retreat From "Fault"? An English Lawyer's Views, J. Neville Turner

Nebraska Law Review

European scholars have in the past tended to look askance at the more permissive American divorce laws, but of late influential voices have been heard advocating a change in the basis of divorce law. The present climate of opinion suggests that there is a real possibility of a "non-fault" statute being seriously canvassed in the United Kingdom Parliament in the immediate future. Recent articles suggest that English jurists too favour "departure from fault." The subject of this dialogue is thus a very live issue in England, as well as in some states of the United States and some provinces of …

The Insurance Definition Of "Automobile", Curtis M. Elliott

Nebraska Law Review

The word "automobile" has a relatively precise meaning in its generic sense. But when used in insurance contracts, it may have a meaning varying from such an illogical definition as "animal-drawn equipment" to that of a private-passenger automobile as recognized in the modern age. And by specific definition, the term may include many types of vehicles not included in the generic meaning. In some insurance contracts, the term is defined carefully, and here there may be little disagreement in interpretation. In others the term is not defined at all, or the definition is so broad that any attempt to determine …

Rationale: The Foreclosure Doctrine, Wallace M. Rudolph

Nebraska Law Review

The last four years have been busy years in shaping the future of antitrust. Beginning with Brown Shoe Co. v. United States, the Supreme Court has continually followed a policy of denying the right of viable companies to merge either vertically or horizontally. In line with these decisions, the Court has been forced to consider the effects of other forms of integration, such as exclusive dealing, joint venture and franchise, that might accomplish the same effect as the merger. On the other hand, the Court has been required to recognize that some forms of integration are helpful and useful …

Antitrust And Its Critics, Walter Adams

Nebraska Law Review

Antitrust strategy policy proposals share one common characteristic: they reveal a profound misconception of the rationale of antitrust and the role of competition as a regulatory device in a free economy. To explore the nature of this misconception is the purpose of the following article.

I. "The Antitrust Laws Should Attack Monopoly, Not Conspiracy"

II. "Antitrust Should Attack Bad Monopolies, Not All Monopolies"

III. Antitrust Should Attack Conspiracies, Not Mergers and Concentration

IV. Antitrust Should Be Abandoned Altogether because Conspiracy and Monopoly Are Creatures of the State. In the Absence of Government Interference, Trade Restraints Would Not and Could Not …

Divorce Without Fault: The Next Step, Charles W. Tenney Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

The unchallenged view of the family as a basic and vital institution in the fabric of Western society has generated a continuing interest in legal questions concerning it. More particularly, an abiding concern has been manifested over whether and under what conditions a dissolution of the family unit ought to be permitted. Historically, we have moved from a period during which such questions were of exclusive ecclesiastical concern to one in which the civil law and its courts have undertaken the tasks of determining such issues. Building upon the approach of its clerical predecessors, civil divorce law in Western countries …

Solicitation By An Interstate Carrier—Is It Doing Business?, William D. Sutter Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

Today, it is a generally well-recognized principle that if a foreign corporation is doing business within a state it is subject to the in personam jurisdiction of that state. The law has, however, had much difficulty in defining the term "doing business." In the case of International Shoe v. State of Washington, the Supreme Court abandoned the doing business test in favor of a test of "minimum contacts" and "fair play and substantial justice." This new test has done little to solve the dilemma, and consequently most states still adhere to the old "doing business" concepts. Nowhere is the …

Constitutional Law—Constitutionality Of Blood Test Performed Over Objection Of Intoxicated Driver: Schmerber V. California, 384 U.S. 757 (1966), Kevin P. Colleran

Nebraska Law Review

In June of 1966, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down the decision in the case of Schmerber v. California. The case involved a criminal conviction for driving an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. While at the hospital undergoing treatment for injuries resulting from the accident, the defendant was arrested by a police officer, and under the direction of the officer, a physician at the hospital drew a blood sample from the body of the defendant. The result of the blood analysis, which indicated that the petitioner was intoxicated, was admitted in evidence at …

An introduction to the Nebraska Law Review symposium issue on business combination—the union and consequent growth of individual private enterprises. Current heavy merger activity in the United States is keeping public concern with the subject lively. Five authorities on antitrust project their expertise toward the near future and discuss the implications of the policies, laws, and economic analyses of today for the world-to-be in the next ten or fifteen years.

Antitrust Standards For 1975, J. Fred Weston

Nebraska Law Review

The formulation of standards for antitrust policy has long been an important goal of researchers in the field of industrial organization. This paper seeks to pursue its objective of a consideration of the formulation of standards for antitrust policy with reference to their future implications by analysis of four areas. First, the main outlines of the characteristics of the economy of 1975 are set forth. Second, the objectives of antitrust policy are reconsidered, reformulated, and restated. Third, propositions about the structure and behavior of industries in the economy are considered. Fourth, the implications of the foregoing background materials are related …

Some Thoughts On The Future Course Of American Antitrust Law Policy, David Dale Martin

Nebraska Law Review

Since the very beginnings of capitalism, the law in our society has embodied a policy with respect to restraint of trade, monopolization, and unfair competition. Many characteristics of that policy have evolved steadily over time, while others have remained essentially unchanged. In the next ten to fifteen years we may expect further development of the policy implicit in the antitrust law. In a world in which technology as well as political, social, and economic institutions are rapidly changing, it would be surprising if the antitrust policy component of American political and economic institutions remained static. To forecast in detail the …

Intent In Civil Assault And Battery In Nebraska, Ronald J. Dolan

Nebraska Law Review

In 1948, the Supreme Court of Nebraska held in Newman v. Christensen that an injury occasioned by horseplay gave rise to a cause of action in negligence rather than battery, thus affording plaintiff a longer statute of limitations. In so doing, the court adopted the minority definitions of both assault and battery which require an intent to injure to be proved. This is an element of criminal law which is usually not carried over into tort law. This article compares intentional tort and negligence, showing that the "horseplay" case is and has been capable of being analyzed as a civil …

Post Conviction Remedies, Dennis C. Karnopp

Nebraska Law Review

Federal habeas corpus relief first became available to state prisoners in 1867, when the Judiciary Act, which originally applied only to federal prisoners, was amended. Historically, habeas corpus inquiry had been restricted to the question of whether the convicting tribunal had jurisdiction over the person of the defendant and the subject matter of the offense. However, the scope of the federal writ has been gradually expanded until it is now used to test the constitutional validity of a conviction. At the same time, the Supreme Court has placed several limitations upon the availability of federal habeas corpus to state prisoners. …

A New Species Of Rhinoceros, Aphelops Kimballensis, From The Latest Pliocene Of Nebraska, Lloyd G. Tanner

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

An uncrushed skull and associated skeletal elements of a very large rhinoceros are the basis for the description of a new species of Aphelops from Frontier County, Nebraska. The major differences are: the skull is much larger in most dimensions than other Aphelops; it has an extremely elevated occipital region in comparison to Aphelops mutilus; the narial notch is retracted to a point perpendicular to the center of molar one; and the teeth are more hypsodont than any other species of this genus. The sediments which yielded the skull and skeletal parts are considered to be Kimballian in …

The Monotypic North American Subgenus Larandrena Of Andrena (Hymenoptera: Apoidea), D. W. Ribble

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Larandrena contains a single species, A. miserabilis Cresson. This small, common Andrena is found throughout most of the United States and southern Canada in the spring. The subgeneric position, nomenclature, redescription. variation, notes on the biology, parasites, range, seasonal activity and plant host records are included. A. rniserabilis is thought to be an important pollinator of fruit trees.

Citellus Kimballensis, A New Late Pliocene Ground Squirrel, Douglas C. Kent

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

A new fossil sciurid, Citellus kimballensis, is described. This new species was found in the Kimball Formation, uppermost Ogallala (very late Pliocene) at the University of Nebraska State Museum Collecting Locality Cn-1O1, northeast of Sidney, Cheyenne County, Nebraska. Characters of the dentition and skull of C. kimballensis are compared with those of other species of the genus, and with those of Cynomys.

The Brule-Gering (Oligocene-Miocene) Contact In The Wildcat Ridge Area Of Western Nebraska, C. Bertrand Schultz, Charles H. Falkenbach, Carl F. Vondra

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The contact between the Brule Formation (Oligocene) and the Gering Formation (Miocene) can be readily distinguished in the Wildcat Ridge area, as elsewhere in western Nebraska. At the critical fossiliferous exposures at Castle Rock in Scotts Bluff County, the contact on the south face between the two formations is defined as 129 feet above the base of the "Upper Ash" bed, which corresponds to the upper portion of Darton's (1899, PI. C, Fig. D, following p. 754) "sandy phase" in the upper part of the Brule. Certain key beds in the Gering Formation can be traced laterally from a channel …

Criminal Law—Credit For Time Served Denied: State V. King, 180 Neb. 631, 144 N.W.2d 438 (1966), Jarret C. Oeltjen

Nebraska Law Review

Although one of the main theories comprising the rationale behind any type of punishment is deterrence, rulings and holdings such as that in the State v. King case put the idea of deterrence to a new and unjustifiable application—to deter convicts from consuming the state's time and money as well as clogging the courts. Such an application presents a dual inquiry: (1) Is additional punishment the proper instrument to be used as the means to achieve the desired end, and (2) does the state have any interest in the likely actual result, namely the preservation of erroneous judgments? Regardless of …

School District Reorganization—Nebraska's Continuing Problem, Fred H. Sweet

Effect Of Plane Of Nutrition, Sex And Bodyweight On The Chemical Composition Of Yorkshire Pigs, G. M. Babatunde, W. G. Pond, L. Dale Van Vleck, G. H. Kroening, J. T. Reid

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

An experiment was carried out involving the full- vs. limited-feeding of 9 pairs of gilts and 6 of barrows from a population of closely related Yorkshire pigs from approximately 45 kg. live weight up to each of three predetermined slaughter weight groups (79, 90 and 102 kg.). The objective was to determine the effects of level of feed intake, sex and weight on the chemical composition of the empty body, edible carcass and inedible parts (offal) and the fatty acid composition of the mid-back fat. As the slaughter weight increased, the percentages of empty body, carcass and offal protein and …
