Stuck elevator causes mishap From Staff Reports A student who fell from an eleva tor in Cather Hall Sunday told UNL police he was trying to crawl out of the elevator after it had become stuck between two floors. According to Cpl. Linda McEn tarlfcr, the elevator got stuck be tween second and third floors early Sunday morning. Varner Hike, known as “J.R.,” told University of Nebraska-Lincoln police that he opened the elevator doors and tried to crawl out, then fell down the elevator shaft. Anthony Scarpello, a freshman Cather 2 resident, said he heard Hike screaming, notified the Cather 2 stu dent assitant, and then pulled Hike from the shaft. SUIT from Page 1 ing an illegal search on his home, the suit says. Later that month, the criminal charge of theft by receiving stolen property pending against Mahlbcrg was dismissed, the suit states. Mahlbcrg alleges in the suit that the university also is liable because it has tolerated and permitted a pattern of illegal activities and failed to prop crly train and discipline the officers involved. By lading to maintain a proper system for reviewing police officers, the suit alleges, UNL police officers were encouraged to believe that they could violate the rights of people such as Mahlberg. As of early Monday, Mcntzcr had not filed a response to Mahlberg’s SuilJ.O.n_ CHINA from Page 1 Also, having U.S. citizens with backgrounds from mainland China will help lobbying efforts with U.S. Congress members, Ding said. ‘‘One of the advantages Poland has is a large Polish population in the United States, so Poland gets a large amount of support from the (U.S.) government,” he said. A large Chinese population in the United States would help promote Chinese concerns, he said. ‘‘But if the bill isn’t passed, none of these things will happen,” Ding said. A separate bill that would grant a three-year visa extension for Chinese students is not as helpful a solution as the waiving of the two-year waiting period for citizenship, Ding said, because that bill still forces students to return to China even if conditions there haven’t improved in three years. The bill to grant a three-year extension has been approved by the house, but is awaiting approval in the Senate. The ideal solution would be to give Chinese students limitless visa extensions to allow them to return to China whenever they wanted without having to become U.S. citizens, Ding said. But, he said, that solution is unlikely, so students will settle for easier means to citizenship. WAGES from Page 1 will be pari of the budget we’re going to prepare right now.” Swanson said the hike would be reflected in food-service prices and in the request for student fees. The stu dent fees pay student wages in “non profit producing” offices such as the Campus Activities and Programs of fice. Although those employees may not be working at minimum wage, an increase in minimum wages is re flected in other salaries, Swanson said. The proposed hike is long over due, he said. “I think that our employees de serve it and will probably welcome it,” Swanson said. Kirk Beyer, compensation man ager of the personnel office, said he did not think a higher minimum wage would have much of an effect on the university. “Our office starts at that (mini mum wage) right now,” he said. John Beacon, director of scholar ships and financial aid, said “it’s lime for such an increase.” Although many university offices now offer higher wages to compete with off-campus employers, some dcpartmcnls that use work-study employees continue to pay minimum wage, Beacon said. “They’ve been able to get away with this in the past,’’ he said. Because offices that use work study students only pay 20 percent of the wages, Beacon said a higher minimum wage shouldn’t have a big impact on UNL offices. “They’ll only have to pay 20 per cent of the increase,’’ he said.
