Assistant Vice Chancellor for
Academic Affairs Liz Grobsmith, who

The Dual Career Program would

employment both at UNL and within
the community.
In addition to helping partners find
employment, the program would of
fer qualified partners one-year fac

the opportunity to interact with col
leagues, attend seminars and have a
base to pursue continuing employ
ment.
The policy was referred to the
executive committee for further dis
cussion.

senate president. He is replaced by
Royce Ballinger.
Sally Wise, an associate professor
of law and director of the law library,

Union Board shuffles groups orrices
By Sarah Duey

Despite the protests of about 20
RHA supporters, the Nebraska Union
_Board voted Tues
day to move the
association’s of
fice to a smaller
space in the un
ion.
In an open fo
rum before the
vote was approved, Matt Hammons,
Residence Hall Association president,
said such a move would restrict the
group.
But board members approved
moving RHA’s office out of its cur
rent space and into a smaller office
because the union needed more meet
ing space, they said.
Frank Kuhn, assistant director of
Nebraska Unions, said the move would
benefit the association.
“Whether they know it or not, RHA
will be much better served than they
think in room 237,” Kuhn said.
Gary Doyle, president of the Uni
versity Program Council, said that
because his organization was sup
ported by student fees, it needed to be
moved from room 200 to the first
floor so it would be more accessible
to students.
Judith Kriss, interim coordinator
of the Women’s Resource Center,
spoke in favor of moving the center
from room 117 because she thought
the organization could use more flex
ible space.
The board approved both moves.

attracted good people, and it’s impor
tant we continue to do so.”
Although Blank is the incumbent,
he said he did not consider his re
election a foregone conclusion and
was traveling throughout the large
District 7 to share concerns about the
university with citizens.
“I think I’ve contributed over the
last six years, but I have more to
contribute,” he said. “The board is
more cohesive and really willing to
work.
“I’m looking forward to the next
six years — if the voters want me
back.”

Osborne said the money was not
necessarily pegged to cover Sima
nck's medical bills. It also could cover
suffering from her injuries and lost
wages from the time she was unable
to go to work, he said.
“It is to be used in any way (the
Simaneks) sec fit,” he said.
Kathy Simanek said she was un
sure how the money would be used.
The decision, she said, lies with her
daughter.
In addition to letters and the money
raised at this weekend’s game, Sima
nck said her daughter had received a
kx of support in her hometown, Mai mo.
The citizens of Malmo sponsored
a benefit dance and an auction of
donated items several weeks after the
attack to raise money, she said.
Simanek said citizens of the neigh
boring town of Weston also spon
f sored a benefit auction and dance for
her daughter.
“The local community has been
extremely supportive,” she said.
