building was evacuated, he said.
The Lincoln Fire Department and
the State Fire Marshall responded to
the alarms. Only the trash cans were
damaged, he said.
Meindl reported another fire in
Cather at 12:02 a.m. Friday, Bushing
said. The fire in the trash can of the
ninth-floor elevator lobby, which did
not cause any damage, was extin
guished by residents, he said.
The final arson report was called
in at 4:04 a.m. Sunday by residence
hall security, Bushing said.
A wall suffered $20 worth of
damage on the ninth floor of Cather
after a sign taped to the wall was set
on fire.
The burnt sign informed residents
of a $1,000 reward being offered to
anyone with information leading to
the arrest and conviction of those
responsible for the residence hall
arsons, Bushing said. A cigarette butt
was found in the ashes on the floor, he
said.
The reward being offered by the
Residence Hall Association and hous
ing has increased from $500 last year
to $1,000 this year, Meindl said.
Another fire reported in the trash
chute of Sandoz Residence Hall at
2:28 a.m. Sunday most likely was not
arson, Bushing said.
The Lincoln Fire Department and
the State Fire Marshall extinguished
the blaze, but they were unable to
determine the cause of the fire, he
said.
“Trash-chute Fires in the past have
n’t been thought to be related to ar- .
sons,” he said.
The State Fire Marshall is investi
gating the reported fires, Bushing said.
“Also, we have more people spend
ing time in the residence halls,” he
said. “And the residence halls have
more people on duty. The problem is
you never know when they are going
to hit again.”
There are no suspects at this time.

similar programs and structures.
The Nebraska society’s annual
budget is $3.8 million, while Mon
tana’s is $2.7 million.
But the Montana society, Sommer
said, did not have problems with
ownership of Indian burial items and
skeletal remains as Nebraska did.
Sommer said he hoped to help
American Indian relations by setting
up an informal advisory committee
made up of members of American
Indian tribes, if they wanted one.
Sommer was bom in Duluth, Minn.
He received his bachelor’s degree
from Carleton College in Northfield,
Minn., and his master’s degree in
history and historic preservation from
the University of Minnesota in Min
neapolis.
He was an historic preservation
consultant in Duluth before becom
ing director of the St. Louis County
Historical Society in Duluth in 1977.

“I find myself sitting in class in a
cramped, hot classroom, and all I can
think about is being outside, riding
my bike or walking or just anything
outside,” Blachford said.
What can be done to protect stu
dents from the enticing weather and
their own desires to spend the next
three weeks slacking off?
Not much, Williams said.
“Turn off the sun,” he said. “For
get that it’s 80 degrees outside, and
finals are coming up.”
"I don’t think any advice from me
can help,” Williams said. “I can
empathize at this point.”
DcDra Janssen, a freshman news
editorial major, said a healthy bal
ance between work and play was
necessary to cure spring fever.
“I try to take lots of study breaks,”
Janssen said. “I find that when I can’t
take any more homework, a trip to the
rec center or just calling a friend
really helps me to release some ten
sion, so I can attack my books with
renewed energy.”
If students think their cases of spring
fever have gotten out of hand and
they arc becoming chronically burned
out, Williams said, counselors at the
UNL Counseling Center are avail
able to talk, and hopefully, help sort
out the problem.
