Tony Sergio, 25, was taken into custody Tuesday after police traced a trail of blood from the body of Victor Wolfe to a Lincoln bar where Sergio allegedly went after the beating, ac cording to Mike Heavican, Lancaster County attorney. Wolfe, 43, was found early Tues day morning in an alley located be tween 17th and 18th streets and P and Q streets. The Lincoln Police Department received a cal! at 7 a.m, from Pal Godsey, who found the body between twocars near the Vislar Bank. Godsey works at the 17th and Q street U-Slop Convenience Shop. Capt. Ron Flansburg of Lincoln Police, said the incident happened some lime between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday. Heavican said Sergio, who ap pears to be “a transient,” was alleg edly with Wolfe prior to his death. “The two probably weren’t to gether too long prior to going to the alley,” Flansburg said. “The location looks like it is often used (for drinking alcohol).” The motive of the murder is still unclear, according to Heavican. It appears there was a tight, ’ he said. “There is speculation that the fight took place near the body." The trail of blood lead to the Brass Rail bar located at 1436 O Sl Sergio allegedly arrived at the Brass Rail “a little before 8 p.m.," with injuries to his right hand, Flansburg said. “He left the Brass Rail and checked himself into the detox cen ter,” Flansburg said. The Lincoln Detoxification Center is located at 721 K St Sergio was taken to Lincoln Gen eral Hospital to be treated for his injuries and was then returned to the detoxification center, he said. The police found him there Tuesday. Although the immediate cause of death has not been determ ined, Heav ican said the autopsy report revealed that Wolfe suffered several injuries. “There was a head injury, with fracturing above the right eye,” he said. “There were also scrapes and lacerations to ihc face and five or six broken ribs on the left side of the body.” Hcavican said “exposure could have been the contributing or the ulti mate factor.” Sergio is scheduled lobe arraigned sometime today, according to Hcav ican. He said he is still unsure what charges Sergio will face. “I need to get all the police reports together to determine what the charges will be,” he said. York angry about AS UN apology By Jerry Guenther Staff Reporter rne senator of the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska has voiced disap proval of a letter to Gov. Kay Orr and University of Nebraska-Lineoln Chancellor Martin Masscngalc. Sen. Libby York said she is upset that a letter, written by the AS UN executive committee, has been sent to Orr and Masscngalc apologizing for student behavior during halftime at the Nebraska-Oklahoma State foot ball game. Students booed Oit and Masscngale as they were introduced. York, a senator from the College of Journalism, voted during last Wednesday’s AS UN meeting against a bill to apologize formally to the governor and chancellor. She said she still is pursuing the matter because several students told her they were unhappy about the apology. York said she hoped to move for a reconsideration of the bill at today’s ASUN meeting. “But the letter has already been sent and Kay Orr has the letter,’’ York said. York said an apology shouldn’t have been written because students that booed the chancellor and gover See APOLOfiV on 3 Help wanted... a job to find student’s jobs L__• By Larry Peirce Suff Reporter Millie Katz’s job is up for grabs, but she can’t be re placed, said Larry Routh,di rector of Career Planning and Place ment at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Katz, the only coordinator the In ternship and Cooperative Education office has ever had will retire Dec. 31. She said she will leave behind a job in which she has great personal interest. Katz was hired to coordinate the College of Arts and Sciences' intern shipprogramin 1978. It became a part of Career Planning and Placement in 1985. Since the office opened, Katz has played a role in finding internships for hundreds of University of Nebraska Lincoln students. Since she started, Katz said, her goal was to make the office a perma nent part of UNL. “We arc close to accomplishing that,” she said, “Maybe we already have.” Routh said Katz deserves much of the credit for the office’s progress. “She’s done so much of it herself,” he said, “with a small staff and a small budget. “She’s had a profound impact on the lives of a iot of students.” In 1979, the office’s first year of operation, it helped 74 students find internships. In 1987, she said, 790 students received help. Katz tries to find the best intern ships for students and the best stu dents for agencies and businesses seeking interns, she said. This re quires KatzV. understanding and hard work, according to those who know her. Jerry Ostdiek, a senior political science and economics m^jor, said Katz does her job well. Katz helped him get two internships. “She has done everything possible to enable me to get another type of education you can’t get in a class room,” he said. “They match up the individual with the type of experience he or she wants to set,” he said. Ostdiek is now in the middle of his second internship, doing research for the Nebraska Department of Eco nomic Development. Because of his experiences, he may seek a job in a state agency after law school, he said. Jennifer Brown, a junior anthro pology major, said Katz reassured her about applying for internships. “Millie helped me feel much more positive about the process,” she said. Katz told her, “You’ll get ac cepted, you’re a good student," Brown said. It's apparent how Katz feels about her job, Brown said. “She’s really got some emotion lied up in this," she said. “She wants this to work for people." Katz's said her job involves more than “finding something for students to do." It involves gathering informa tion about internships from the agen cies and businesses offering them, and making that information avail able. Those offering internships must be willing to evaluate students’ per formances, and be evaluated by stu dents, she said. With 10 years experience, Katz said, she knows which agencies give positive experiences to students and which ones don’t Students learn about themselves with an internship, she said, and find out what jobs they’re qualified for. Sometimes they discover they don’t like the career they’ve chosen. Katz wanted to be a librarian, she said, until she tried that job through the Cooperative Education program. “It (being a librarian) was not for me," she said.
