Police check bomb threats YORK, Neb.-Police are investigating a bomb threat at the York Jack and Jill store Friday evening, the fourth such threat in Nebraska during the last week. Police said the incidents may be connected. York Police Chief Frank Valentine said the device found was similar to one found at a Lincoln store Thurs day night. Valentine added that the FBI will be looking into the York incident. The FBI also is investigating the Lincoln bomb threat A K-Mart store there was evacuated after it received a phone threat about 8 pjn. Thursday. Wednesday night an employee at a Lincoln Safeway store put $1,000 in a paper sack behind a grocery across the street after he was told a bomb on the roof would go off unless the money was delivered.

No discrimination in Woods' case By Gordon Johnson A member of the UNL Affirmative Action Ciaison Committee has said she feels three months probation was not too harsh for Girlean Woods, a black woman who charged UNL with discrimination in her firing from the custodial department. Alice Torwirt, Affirmative Action Liaison represent ative, said the committee did not recommend that probation be given. But she said she thinks three months probation was not out of line since Woods was a team, leader in her department. . r-'.y .''I'-. -"-''',:''"..,'.',' .-. ; '' . ,. . The committee's findings, made public Thursday, stated that they found no evidence of overt racial dis crimination in Woods' firing. Woods was fired Sept, 10 for "willful disobedience." She was charged with over-extending her coffee break and allowing unauthorized personnel to stay in Oldfather Hall past closing time. --, . The committee found that the infractions she made not warrant firing. The seven-member committee recommended that Woods be retired. However, Woods said Friday she would not take the job if UNL required her to be on probation for three months. A report by the committee to UNL Chancellor Roy Young points out that other university employees were guilty of the same infractions, but were not fired. Woods contends that it is not fair that she should be placed on probation while the others guilty of the same thing are not. Torwirt contends that in her opinion; Woods should receive three months probation and that the other workers should receive a strong reprimand. Young, who refused to; release a copy of the committee's report, said the decision to give Woods three months probation .was one he made with other adminis tration officials. Meanwhile, the state ombudsman is , continuing his investigation of Woods' charges of discrimination. After initially receiving no cooperation from university officials in his investigation, Ombudsman Murrell McNeil issued subpoenas to.seven UNL employees. They were to appear at a hearing at 9 a jn. Friday. "Everyone who was subpoenaed appeared " McNeil said, and added that the investigation was going smoothly and it will continue at 8:30 a jn. Tuesday. Before results of the investigation can be made public, McNeil said he is required by law to consult with the university. He said he would probably work with Young and NU general counsel Richard Wood. sto?G staff The Arnold Air Society and Angel Flight will meet Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Rostrum.
