Yew plant causes student's
death
The body of a UNL student was found
early Friday on the Salt Creek Bridge,
near 26th Street and Cornhusker
Highway. The person apparently died
from eating a yew plant, said Lancaster
County Attorney Mike Heavican Monday.
Heavican said a toxicology report
conducted Monday showed that Robert
A. Hogendorn, 22, had eaten enough of
a yew plant to kill him. Hogendorn, of
Long Island, N.Y., was a resident of Burr
Hall on East Campus.
The yew is a spreading shrub found
Privacy a benefit

Dave Bourn, a junior natural resour
ces major, said he and his four room
mates each pay $200 to $250 a month
for their house rent and other expenses.
Allan Urlis, a senior broadcast major,
said he pays about $250 to $275 a
month for rent.
Zatechka said current UNL policy
states that students who will not be 20
years old by Oct. 1 must live on campus.
Under-aged-students may live off cam
pus if their parents live locally, if they
are sophomores and have parental
permission or if they have extenuating
circumstances such as serious health
problems, he said.
Zatechka said the policy was enacted
for the benefit of incoming freshman
students.
He also said students who live on
campus get better grades than those
who live off campus.
At the same time, Zatechka said,
living off campus has advantages such
as giving students greater privacy and
the opportunities to begin making
decisions on their own.
throughout Lincoln. The berries, which
are the part most commonly ingested,
contain alkaloid taxine poison. The
berries usually are safe in small
quantities.
"Apparently he ate enough of it to
kill him," Heavican said. "It's the first
incident like this I can remember."
He said that it is not known which
plant Hogendorn ate because yew plants
are so common in Lincoln.
UNL student Doug Fagler, who worked
with Hogendorn at the Nebraska Union
the last two semesters and planned to
live with him this summer, said Hogen
dorn seemed in good health.
"He wasn't despondent," he said.
"He was just tired."
Hogendorn was found about 5:10
a.m. leaning against the bridge railing,
wth a duffle bag of clean laundry slung
over his shoulder.
Hogendqrn's friends told police that
he usually did his laundry in a laun
dromat near 35th Street and Corn
husker Highway.
Job seminar Eielpvul, officials say
The farm crisis has prompted about
75 juniors and seniors in the College of
Agriculture to sharpen their job-seeking
skills.
T.E. Hartung, dean of the College of
Agriculture, and Marialice Renard teach
a six-week employment seminar for
students in search of jobs. Six other
agriculture instructors assist in the
class on a rotating basis.
Hartung, who has taught the seminar
since it began in 1973, said the class
gives students a "very competitive
Housing cuts
may pull plug
on Abel pool
By Linda Hartmann
Staff Reporter
The Office of University Housing may
close the swimming pool at Abel-Sandoz
residence halls during the school year
to save money, the housing director
said Thursday.
Doug Zatechka told senators of UNL's
Residence Hall Association that he is
considering cuts in services such as
the pool. Cuts may be necessary be
cause residence halls aren't as full as
usual 93 percent full this semester
and probably will be the same next
year, Zatechka said.
"The pool is a God-awful money loser
... We can't afford to be everything to
everyone," he said.
The pool costs $45,000 to $50,000 to
operate, which translates to $8 a stu
dent each year, Zatechka said.
But during the summer, the pool
must be kept open for conference
groups that come to UNL, Zatechka
said.
The housing office probably could
cover the pool area with a temporary
floor for recreational use, he said.
Zatechka also said he would consider
returning something to the students in
the residence halls for the loss of the
pool, such as cable TV or soap and
paper towels in the bathrooms.
Zatechka said he will defer a deci
sion until he knows student opinion on
the matter.
In other matters, RHA approved a
housing office rate study that indicates
housing costs will increase $35 for each
student for 1986-87. The 1.7 percent
increase is the lowest in 12 years.
Glen Schumann, assistant director
of maintenance, said overhead lighting
will be installed in residence hall
rooms before the halls open next fall.
When the overhead lights are in
stalled, Zatechka said, closet lights in
some halls probably will be removed.
Zatechka said closet lights in Abel
Sandoz halls and the Harper-Schramm-Smith
complex have cause two fires
this year.
Zatechka also said he approved a
$30,000 increase for student employees
in the residence halls. The money
would allow each hall to hire two
employees for 10 hours a week, he said.
Hiring the student employees means
repairs can be done faster and halls
will be kept cleaner, Zatechka said.
The money accounts for $5 of the
increased housing cost for each student.
edge" in the job market.
"The course doesn't guarantee a
better shot at a job," Hartung said.
Nevertheless, "it does provide the
tools."
Hartung cited one recent success
story. A student sent a letter of inquiry
to a large chemical company as part of
a class assignment.
The company contacted its local
representative and the representative
in turn contacted the student to set up
an appointment.
Over lunch, the student was inter
viewed and later received a job offer,
Hartung said.
"This doesn't happen often," he
said, "but these class assignments do
lead to contacts."
Seminar assignments include com
pany research, resume preparation and
mock interviews.
"The class gives students confidence
that they are going at the job search in
the proper manner," said Renard,
seminar director and director of the
agriculture college's placement service.
"That's what we really want to build
confidence." .
Renard estimates that 80 percent of
the students who took the course in
1985 and reported back had satisfac
tory jobs.
The placement rate coupled with
the farm economy has made students
take the seminar more seriously, she
said.-
The class provides valuable informa
tion students can use throughout their
lives, she said.
