Handgun registration law
won’t hurt UNL pistol team
By Yvonne Sabatka
Staff Reporter
A new law that will require the
registration of handgun owners will
not affect a UNL pistol team, one
member said.
The law, which was passed by the
Nebraska Legislature in the spring
and will go into effect Sept. 6, re
quires handgun buyers to register with
their local law enforcement agency.
Members of the Navy ROTC pistol
team do not own their own guns, said
Gunnery Sgt. Noah Byers, head of the
pistol team. The guns used by the
team are supplied by the Department
of the Navy, tie said.
But, Byers said, the new law is
“not really restrictive,” even to those
owning guns. The law does not limit
the number of guns that a person can
own, but simply requires the registra
tion of owners.
If the state wanted to reduce crime
substantially, it would have consid
ered a law like Omaha’s gun control
law, he said.
Omaha requires the registration of
all handguns, as well as personal in
formation and information on the gun.

UNL phones not affected
by FCC competition rule
Alternate companies
available to students
By Taryn Gilster
Staff Reporter
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln will be unaffected by a federal
decision requiring universities to al
low phone competition, an official
said.
A ruling by the Federal Communi
cations Commission could force uni
versities to offer the option of other
long-distance telephone services.
But Ruth Michalecki, director of
UNL’s telecommunication center, said
UNL has never blocked access to
other long-distance telephone com
panies.
“It’s only logical and fair to offer
our students the option to use other
phone systems,” she said.
Although most UNL students use
the university phone network,
Michalecki said students can get credit
cards from other companies and use
ihcir access numbers. Phone compa
nies conduct their billings separate^
from UNL. I
“However, I do disagree with the'
FCC ruling,” Michalecki said. “Resi
dence halls aren’t like hotels, and the
phones in the dorms aren’t open to the
public.”
For that reason, she said, shedidn ’t
think the decision that recently added
universities la the group of “call
aggregators” was appropriate. Call
aggregators, such as hotels, manage
phone services for transient popula
tions and must not block access to
competing long-distance companies,
according to a recent article in the
Chronicle of Higher Education.
Michalecki said she didn’t agree
that universities should be classified
as operating transient housing because
students usually live in their rooms
for a year.
“1 hope the decision is settled soon,’
Michalecki said. “It’s only a phone
issue now, but it could develop fur
ther.”
