rooster whose noisy crowing was bothering residents.
"There are a lot of people who couldn't sleep because

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. When the authorities
got to the scene the money was gone and no bomb was
found.
An hour later at a Little King restaurant, a similar call
was received, but no money was left and no bomb was
found.
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.
