living la a residence hall lounge may seem barely
tolerable to most people, but some students don't wast to
fcevc.
"It seems that some girls b temporary housing have
refused vacancies offered them," said Tony Williams, Cist
vice president of ASUN and a Residence Hall Arociation
representative. The students have become so attached to
the floors that they don't want to move."
As of Monday night, 30 girls remained in temporary
housing in Sandoz, Abel, Schramm and Smith residence
halls, according to Glenn Schumann, acting zzzhtzzt
director of housing. MThe deadline to have the students in
permanent housing is Oct. 1. However, if enough
vacancies don't show up this week, well have to consider
other alternatives,' he said.
A decision on the students in temporary housing will
be made at the Sept. 30 meeting of the housing
administration.
"We don't mind Irving in a bungs at sll," said Karen
Hopken, a freshman from Geneva, one of four girls Irving
on the fifth floor of Sandoz who said they prefer to stay
where they are. '
"We aren't really refusing to leave, but we would
rather stay here than move to the dorm where vacancies
are."
Hopken said the girls talked to their student assistant,
Sandoz's residence hall director and to one of the housing
directors about their possible relocations. '
"They told us the housing administration has an ohliga
tin to find permanent housing for all students with
housing contracts," said Hopken. "They also said that
the lounge belongs to the girls on the floor."
Vacancies are offered to the temporarily housed
students on a first come, first serve bass, Schumann said.
Eventually those on the top of the list will be forced to
move, he added.
The housing sds&hgntSoa took mere contracts than
the actual housing capacity to counteract the many
vacancies that usuaSy occur during the first month of
The situation worked cut well for the men, but cot
enough vacancies appeared for women, leaving 30 women
in temporary boushg.
Schumann speculated that there may be co single room
contracts next year and possible three sradents wl be
placed fa end rooms because of increasing enrollment.

- World War II is being fought in Jeh Schmidt's attic."
Thousands of soldiers, ready for action, line the walls.
Tanks, cannons and airplanes are also at his command.
The gently sloping battlefield lies only a few yards away.
Schmidt, 24, a Lincoln construction worker, is cot a
frustrated World War II veteran, but a three-year veteran
of war gaming. His soldiers are about one inch tall and his
battlefield i3 a large, green foam carpet with wooden
blocks underneath the hSls.
The war . gams simulates a battle, either a historical
battle or one created through fantasy. Flayers plan
strategy, to use their soldiers and artillery as effectively as
possible. Cut it's also a game of chance dice are rolled to
determine how successful a particular move wO be. De
fore the game begins, rules are decided by both sides.
"The nice thing about war gaming is that if you don't
like a rule, yon can leave it out or change it," Schmidt
"You approach a war game as a chess game or a game
of cards," he said, except a war gams can become more
"blood-thirsty."
"You can really get into it," he explsned.
History plays a cirjor role in war gaming. Players cay
decide on a. particular war and plan their own strategies
for it or just Ene up their soldiers and "fight it our."
. Schmidt said because he is mterested in Weill VJst-U
and the Napoleonic wars, his soldiers and artillery are
from that era. Other popular wars are the American
Revolutionary War, the CM War, ancient wars (during
early Greek and Roman times) and the Thirty Years War.
Because of his interest in World War II, Schmidt said he
and several cf his friends are going to replay it this winter.
First, they wi3 plan their strategy on paper Sud then
arrange' the soldiers and artillery to execute their plans.
Although the game is based on probahSitir Schmidt
said, battles often will come out as they historically did.
Both lead and plastic miniature soldiers are available,
Schmidt said. The lead ones cost about 50 cents each and
the plastic ones cost between two and three cents.
Schmidt uses p! c soldiers although he said both kinds
are hard to And in Lincoln. '
The small soldiers are painted after they are bought.
Although Schmidt said he found it difficult at first, he
cow finds painting the tiny figures relaxing.
Describing it as a fairly expezar?e hobby, Schmidt said
he probably has spent Ma couple hundred dollars" on war
game equipment in ths three years he has been playing.-:
Larry Irons, president of UNL's Htorical Simulations
Club, said he has been playing war games for about 12
s
years, since he was 11. But he said "war. games" is a bad
'term.--"'" "-''- " "''" r" ' ; ?..''-
"People play to have fun," Irons explained. He said
those who played could best be described as "great
indoorsmen."
Both Schmidt and Irons, a senior geology major, said
war games are not something a person is vaguely interest
ed in war gamers research the wars they are interested in,
paint hundreds of small soldiers and mount them on
movable stands, assemble and paint artillery, and then
spend about four to six hours playing a war game.

Steve Shovers, University of Nebraska at Omaha
(UNO) student body president and student regent, may
face impeachment by the UNO student senate and student
court, Shovers said Tuesday.
Shovers was allowed to keep his two offices by a UNO
appeals board last week after being placed on disciplinary
He said Tuesday he is "pretty confident" that he wI not
be impeached and he expects amove in the student senate
to give him a vote of confidence.
Nancy Norenberg, speaker of the student senate, sail a
motion was brought before the senate at its Sept. 23
meeting to have ths senate schedule a hearing to consider
impeachment charges.
Norenberg said a hearing possibly will be scheduled
for tonight.
She said the purpose of the hearing will be to acquaint
senators with the facts in the Shovers case and to decide
if the facts warrant a senate impeachment bi3. Tape
recordings from the appeals board's deliberations will be
made available to senators, she said. '
However, Norenberg saM she does cot expect a large
turnout at the hearing because most senators already are
familiar with the details of the Shovers case.
She said that if senators consider impeachment is justi
fied after the hearing, they may bring a bi3 cf impeach
ment bsfcrs the senate, possiMy at Thursday eight's re
gular senate meeting. v
If the senate passes the bill by a two-thirds margin, ths
b21 goes to the UNO student court, which would decide
Esther to remove Shovers from office.
If the fcipeachment bI3 does cot get the two-thirds
vote, it would then "fust die" Norenberg said.
An appeals board decided Sept; 20 to take Shovers off
his probation and place him ca discipLrary notice. This
means Shovrrs wcu!i hare a letter in his permanent file
stating his misconduct.
Shovers said he would attempt to appesl the disdIIa
ary notice, but has cot yet dene so because he has net
learned from university ofHeiils what the note siys.
