Lincoln police said they have ar
rested a suspect in the alleged
beating death of a Lincoln man
found early Tuesday.
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.

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

Help wanted... a job to find student’s jobs

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.
Just because Katz and her staff of
