Not just hot technology
David CreamerDaily Nebraskan

fire swept through parts of the building at about 3 p.m. Tuesday. Firefighters are seen leaving the scene of the fire,
which started when a transient tried to drag a burning mattress to a fire escape and touched off fiames in other
mattresses, fire investigators said. Fred Soflin, Lincoln fire inspector, said a man is in custody in connection with the
fire. No one was injured, Sofiin said.

UNL police officers Wayne Farrin and Greg
Meyer were wrong to use profanity last Wednes
day to deal with students outside Selleck Quad
rangle, said Lt. Ken Cauble, UNL police com
mander of the uniform division.
In a meeting Monday night with residents of
Selleck, Cauble said the officers' profanity can
not be excused, even if students provoked it.
Although Cauble wouldn't say how he pun
ished the officers, he said it was more severe
than what most people he talked to said it
should be.
Cauble said the police received four calls
complaining about noisy students camping in
the courtyard last Wednesday. He said he doesn't
know whether the campers John Williams, .
Bobby Eden, Becky Spawn, Lisa Bolin, Craig
Hulke, Deborah Vollmer and Steve Katelman
or students yelling from their windows created
the noise.
Tim Rother, a Selleck resident, made one of
the calls to police. He said he thought it was
unreasonable for people to make so much noise
at 1 a.m., and he wanted to sleep. He said he
didn't call a Selleck official before he called the ,
police because he didn't think they would do
anything about it. He said he assumed Selleck
officials already knew about the noise.
Officers Farrin and Meyer were sent to the
scene. They told the campers they needed a
premit to camp on state property, Cauble said.
The rule is enforced to keep vagrants and other
unwanted people from sleeping on state prop
erty, he said.
"There was a disturbance," Cauble said, "and
the officers thought that if the campers would go
inside, the noise would stop."
Everyone went inside except Katelman, and
the noise continued. While Katelman was talk
ing to officers, students started yelling from
their windows. Other students gathered in the
courtyard. .

Nebraska Athletic Director Bob Devaney said
Tuesday that men's basketball Coach Moe Iba
could be censured for an illegal practice Monday
afternoon in Mabel Lee Hall.
"We're not condoning what he did," Devaney
said. "We'd tell him if this happens again we'd
probably relieve him of his job."
"He knows he was wrong if he was practicing,"
Devaney said.
The Daily Nebraskan taped the practice ses
sion Monday afternoon at Mabel Lee Hall 313 and
314. Several times during the tape, Iba's voice
can be heard yelling instructions, such as:
O "Handle the ball, take your time, get a
good shot, get a good shot."
O "Shirts on the defense. Skins are down at
the other end."
O "You're gonna lose the ball. Hold on to the
ball with both hands."
Jamie McCloskey, legislative assistant at the
NCAA office in Mission Kan., said Monday that
NCAA bylaw 3-1-A-l says "the utilization of bas
ketballs in a gymnasium prior to Oct. 1 5 violates
pre season legislation."
Prentice Gautt, associate commissioner of the
Big Eight Conference, said Monday that "on
court practice held in direction of, or supervised
by, any member or members of the institutions'
coaching staff shall not take place prior to Oct.
15."
"Players can go over and participate in pick
up teams," Gautt said. "Very rarely would you
find a coach who would violate that rule because
of the ramifications involved."
Iba could not be reached for comment Tues
day. But he told The Associated Press that "ever
ything we're doing is strictly legal."
James O'Hanlon, UNL's faculty representative
to the NCAA, will investigate the early practice
and file a report with the NCAA.
O'Hanlon said he would interview coaches,
players and Daily Nebraskan reporters and pho
tographers and listen to a Daily Nebraskan tape
recording of the practice.
Devaney said he thinks the Daily Nebraskan
handled the story inappropriately. He said the
Daily Nebraskan should have first contacted him
or UNL Chancellor Martin Massengale and allowed
university officials to correct the problem inter
nally. He said if questions about the practice
still needed to be answered, the paper then
could contact Big Eight and NCAA officials, he
said.
Zateehka, HSS senate resolve Smith problem
By Diana Johnson
Staff Reporter
The Harper-Schramm-Smith Senate
and UNL Housing Director Douglas
Zatechka approved a resolution ending
the controversy over the Smith Hail
women's athletic study area.
The HSS senate unanimously ap
proved the resolution during its meet
ing Monday. Zatechka approved it
Tuesday.
The resolution is the result of a new
women's athletic study table that was
built in Smith Hall without the consent
of Smith Hall residents or the complex
senate.
The resolution includes six criteria:
HSS Senate consents to the cur
rent location and size of the women's
athletic study area
HSS Senate will take no further
action on the Smith women's athletic
study area.
HSS senate recognizes the power
of the Office of University Housing to
build a high-quality study area and
music practice room to replace the one
taken by the Smith women's athletic
study area
Funds for building the new HSS
study area and music practice room
will come from a source other than the
housing office.
Procedures for getting student
input on important housing decisions
throughout the year will be set by
separate complex governments, the
Residence Hall Association and the
housing office.
The only statement in the resolution
that Zatechka didn't agree with was
one that said the women's athletic
study area "will never be expanded
beyond its current size."
"I never accept something that has
the word 'never' in it," Zatechka said.
"I am not authorized to give approval of
long-term usage of space...The author
ity to make a decision like that rests
with university administrators."
Zatechka said he thinks he and the
HSS Senate executives would reach an
understanding about that part of the
resolution.
The Abel-Sandoz Residents Associa
tion passed a separate resolution Mon
day supporting the HSS Senate proposal.
"We've gained everything we set out
to do. The resolution simply solidified
it," said Mike Baacke, HSS Senate
chief executive.
"The resolution may also be used as
a legal document for further references
for other senates should something
similar occur at a later time," Baacke
said.
Planning for construction of the new
HSS study and music area will begin as
soon as housing and an HSS Senate
committee agree on an appropriate
location.
The area could be built either before
winter break or at the beginning of
second semester, Zatechka said.
"For practical purposes, though, as
far as I'm concerned, this matter is
closed," Zatechka said.
