Statehouse reacts
When news of the explosion broke,
state senators were considering a bill
that would establish a termination
date for groundwater conservation dis
tricts. Lt. Gov. Don McGinley, presiding
over the Legislature at the time, told
senators what had happened while
Farnam Sen. Tom Vickers had the floor.
"Then Vickers said, 'After that mes
sage, these things are very unimpor
tant,' " McGinley said. "I said, 'That's
right.' "
Because the Legislature was sche
duled to recess at noon, senators fin
ished business, said Scottsbluff Sen.
William Nichol, speaker of the Legisla
ture. But after McGinley's announce
ment little else was accomplished, he
said.
"If we had it to do over again, I might
have suggested closing up shop," he
said.
Legislative committee hearings con
tinued as scheduled because many
people had traveled to Lincoln to
attend, Nichol said.
UNL officials followed Gov. Bob Ker
rey's request that flags be flown at half
staff. The announcement came early
after confirmation that all seven crew
members had died.
Despite the explosion, UNL Profes
sor Leendert Kersten said NASA should
put even greater effort into the space
shuttle project.
Kersten worked with NASA in 1974
75 designing a remote control manipu
lator to be transported to space by the
space shuttle.
"I have a tremendous amount of con
fidence in mankind," Kersten said. "It
was an accident and a great tragedy,
but I'm sure that the friends and rela
tives of the victims right now, they'd
say, 'Let's go forward with extra
effort.' "
Debate waged over
Neihardt voting site
By Kent Endacott
Senior Reporter
Adding Neihardt Residence Center
as an ASUN voting site is a "political
maneuver" that will not increase voter
turnout, said ASUN Sen. Jon Stick.
Stick made his comments Tuesday
at an open forum, which was scheduled
after Residence Hall Association mem
bers submitted a proposal last week to
include Neihardt as a voting site. Cur
rent polling sites are at the Nebraska
and East unions and Nebraska Hall.
"Because Neihardt is so close to the
Union, it's more political than anything
else," Stick said. "I believe that there
is not a voting problem."
Brian Noonan, president of the
NeihardtCather-Pound residence com
plex, said an election site in Neihardt
would increase voter turnout without
giving the residence halls an advantage.
"The Greek system feels that (a Nei
hardt voting site) would give the resi
dence halls an advantage," Noonan
said. "That claim is unbased.
"The big problem is apathy," he
said. "If we had a residence hall polling
place, I'm sure it would help voter
turnout. A high voter turnout would
certainly outweigh any disadvantages."
Also, there are a number of Greek
houses in the area, he said.
In 1985, 3,256 people voted in the
ASUN elections, an increase from 2,350
in 1984.
David Edwards, a former president
of the Nebraska Association of Resi
dence Halls, submitted a petition with
150 signatures supporting a Neihardt
election site. He said he gathered the
signatures in three hours.
"There is an actual tangible concern
to alleviate the voting problem for all
UNL students," he said.
Greg Smith, ASUN election commis
sion president, said the six member
commission will vote on the proposal
later in the week.
ftadium vandalized
UNL police are looking for the per
son who vandalized Memorial Stadium
during the weekend, said Corporal Tim
Tolle of the police department.
"We have some leads," he said, "but
nothing concrete."
An unidentified person drove a vehi
cle into the stadium and spun the vehi
cle's tires on the 50-yard line, leaving
three foot burn marks on the artificial
turf, said Bill Shepard, groundskeeper
for the UNL athletic department.
The marks were discovered Monday
morning, he said.
The stadium was open all weekend
so football recruits could look at the
field, Shepard said, but the gates were
not open overnight.
Shepard said a gate may have been
left open after the usual closing time of
6:30 p.m., but it would have been
locked at 9 p.m. when campus police
check the stadium.
No one can explain how the vandal
got in, Tolle said.
Workers have brushed some of the
burned plastic out of the turf, Shepard
said, but he is not sure whether they
will have to patch the field.
If the burned areas are patched,
Shepard said they would not match the
rest of the turf.
He said it would cost at least $27,000
to replace a 5-yard section of turf the
width of the field.
"We're not going to do that," he said.
Tolle would not release any other
details, pending an investigation.
