Cameras record strange shooting
TV crew watches
man kill ex-wife
MI AMI (AP) — The TV crew was
filming Emilio Nunez placing flow
ers on his teen-age daughter’s grave,
grieving over her suicide.
Then, his former wife showed up
unexpectedly.
As the camera rol led, N unez 1 unged
at the woman, put a 9mm semiauto
matic handgun to her head and pulled
the trigger, emptying the full clip, the
cameraman said Tuesday.
Nunez, 34, kept firing even after
the woman fell to the ground, said
police Lt. Lou Cavallo, who con
firmed that Monday’s shooting was
on the tape.
The woman, Maritza Martin
Munoz, 33, was dead at the scene.
Nunez remained at large Tucsday,
though his car was found. The Delray
Beach man left his current wife and
stepson behind at the cemetery; it
wasn’t clear whether they saw the
shooting.
Police returned the videotape to
the Spanish-language Telcmundo net
work program “Ocurrio Asi,” or “It
Happened Like This.”
Joandra Nunez, the 15-year-old
daughter of Nunez and Ms. Martin,
fatally shot herself in the chest on
Thanksgiving. Cavallo said Nunez
blamed Ms. Martin for their daughter’s
death and that the woman feared him.
On Monday, for an upcoming story,
reporter Ingrid Cruz and cameraman
Jorge Delgado were shooting footage
of Nunez placing flowers on the grave
at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in sub
urban North Lauderdale.
Then, Ms. Martin showed up in a
car.
Nunez’ current wife and stepson
were sitting in his car, and he appar
ently told them to leave the area,
Delgado said.
Nunez got into his car and moved
it so his ex-wife couldn’t leave the
parking lot, the reporter and camera
man said.
Ms. Martin then got out of her car,
scribbled Nunez’ license plate num
ber on a piece of paper and headed
into the cemetery, followed by the TV
crew.
“That’s when the gentleman pushes
Ingrid out of the way and shoots the
woman point blank behind the head
eight or nine times,” Delgado said.
King’s message has relevance
to ASUN members, official says
Vice chancellor’s
aide to address
student senate
By Andrea Kaser
Staff Reporter
In honor of Dr. Marlin Lulhcr
King Jr., John Harris, special as
sistant to the UNL vice chancel
lor for student affairs, will speak to
the members of AS UN at their meet
ing tonight.
Talking to groups such as the As
sociation of Students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska is serious business to
Harris, he said.
Harris said he hoped to impart
King’s philosophy and its relevance
to those considered to be in the power
structure.
Last week, Harris gave members a
copy of an interview between King
and author Alex Haley. The 1965
article, which first appeared in Play
boy magazine, is
an insightful inter
view, he said. He
gave them the ar
ticle because he
wanted members
to get a clear un
derstanding of
King’s position, he said.
Harris sakfhQwantcd to hear mem
bers’ reactions to the article.
Many minority students have role
models outside of their race, he said.
Considering most ASUN members
arc white, Harris said he was curious
as to what the members’ responses
would be.
“I wonder if he (King) could actu
ally be a role model for them,” he said.
By the end of the presentation,
Harris said he hoped they would have
made some headway for the rest of the
semester.
AS UN could be a key player in
increasing diversity on campus, he
said. Even though it’s not the Legis
lature or the U.S. Congress, what the
members of AS UN do affects each
person on campus, he said. Many
students feel that government, includ
ing student government, docs not work
for them.
“The more detached they feci, the
more helpless and hopeless they feel,”
he said. “The more they feel they have
no ownership, the madder they gel.
LA is a prime example of the feelings
of the disenfranchised.”
As LJ IN president, DN editor pitch
for increased student fee allocations
By Matt Woody
Staff Reporter_
Emphasizing the need to increase
employee salaries, ASUN President
Andrew Sigcrson requested a negli
gible increase for the 1993-94 ASUN
budget at Tuesday night’s CFA meet
ing.
Although the
move conflicts
with a request he
made last semes
Egtcr asking all fee
jusers to submit
zero-increase bud
Jgets, the .26 per
cent increase is necessary to give
employees well-deserved pay raises,
Sigerson said.
According to Sigcrson’s budget,
all six ASUN employees arc sched
uled to receive salary increases, the
largest being 4 percent for ASUN’s
director of development, Marlene
Beyke. Sigcrson described her as “in
dispensable” and “the only form of
continuity that ASUN has.”
All of thccmployccs arc deserving
and the differences in raises arc due to
differences in job requirements, not
differences in job performance,
Sigcrson said.
Overall, Sigcrson requested
$143,911 in student fees for ASUN
for the 1993-94 fiscal year, an in
crease of S375 over 1992-93.
Sigcrson called the proposal “real
istic" and said that ASUN “didn’t
want student fees to increase at all,
and I think we reflected that in our
budget.”
Committee for Fees Allocation
chair Shane Tucker said Sigcrson’s
budget was “very good” and that he
was impressed.
Tucker had less to say about the
Daily Nebraskan’s budget proposal,
which the CFA also heard at the meet
ing.
The CFA will have to hear more
about the paper’s budget at another
meeting, Tucker said, but at first
glance, he said it was larger than the
committee would like.
A delegation from the Daily Ne
braskan requested student funding of
$41,153 for the 1993-94 fiscal year,
an increase of 5 percent over 1992-93.
The increase is necessary to help
compensate for a projected 1992-93
budget deficit of $37,000, Daily Ne
braskan editor Chris Hopfcnspcrgcr
said.
The deficit is mostly due to an
advertising revenue shortfall of
$31,000 for the fall 1992 semester, he
said.
The Daily Nebraskan advertising
department has been hit hard by the
recession as businesses cut back on
advertising rather than laying off
employees, Dan Shattil,general man
ager of the Daily Nebraskan, said.
Other factors, such as an increase
in the cost of printing related to the
rising cost of newsprint, make it nec
essary to request more student funds.
Of the six Big Eight university
student newspapers that use student
funds, the Daily Nebraskan ranks fifth
in the amount of student fees it re
ceives, Shattil said. The amount of
funds that the paper requested would
make up only about 7 percent of total
revenue, he said.

Last chance
Bosnian Serbs to consider
mediators’ peace proposal
PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina
(AP) — A sclf-proclaimed parlia
ment of Bosnian Serbs met Tues
day to consider trading land and the
right to their own borders for an end
to Bosnia’s bloody civil war.
Bosnia’s Muslim and Croat fac
tions have accepted the proposal by
international mediators. Rejection
by the Serbs could doom peace
talks and lead to foreign military
intervention.
Bitter debates dragged on for
hours before the session in Pale,
just east of Sarajevo, adjourned. It
was scheduled to resume at 9 a.m.
(2 a.m. CST) Wednesday.
- Bosnian Serb leader Radovan
Karadzic said the outcome would
be close and he could not predict
which way it would go.
— 44
We are now decid
ing between bad
and worse, and
either decision will
have negative con
sequences for
Serbs.
— Krajisnik
assembly speaker
-99 -
Seventy-one of the assembly’s
81 members opened the plenary
session with the old Serbian na
tional anthem, “God of Justice,”
and a moment of silence for dead
comrades.
The proposal by mcdialorsCyrus
Vance of the United Nations and
Lord Owen of the European Com
, munity would divide the former
Yugoslav republic into W autono
mous provinces.
Karadzic accepted the plan a
week ago in Geneva on condition
that the Bosnian Serb assembly
approve it.
“On the one hand, the interna
lional community is rattling its sa
bers,” he said in his opening ad
dress. “On the other hand, it has
made possible a political solution
of thecrisis. That is why the Geneva
conference represents the only hope
for the war to end.”
Karadzic has said he will resign
if the plan is rejected. He predicted
the vote would be “very tight.”
The draft includes boundaries
drawn partly along ethnic lines and
nine constitutional principles. It
would mean the Serbs would have
to give up their demand for a sepa
rate state within Bosnia and an
eventual merger with neighboring
Yugoslavia.
The international community
has warned Serbs to accept uncon
ditionally or risk military interven
tion.
Even if they accept, an agree
ment to halt the fighting would not
be assured. Karadzic contended
Tuesday that the provincial bor
acrs were suDjeci to ncgouation.
Talks in Geneva could resume
by Thursday if the Bosnian Serbs
approve the plan. Vance and Owen
were to travel Wednesday to
Sarajevo.
“If the assembly says ‘yes,’ that
will mean that the Serbs in Bosnia
will not have their slate, and that
was the reason why this war was
fought,” said Biljana Plavsic, one
of Karadzic’s two vice presidents.
Assembly speaker Momcilo
Krajisnik, warned, “We are now
deciding between bad and worse,
and cither decision will have nega
tive consequences for Serbs.”
Bosnia’s Serb minority, backed
initially by the Serb-dominated
Yugoslav army, rebelled after the
Muslim and Croat majority voted
for independence last February.
Bosnian delegates arriving in
Pale, the Serbs’ political and mili
tary headquarters in Bosnia, were
greeted by banners reading, “Peace
Through Agreement.”
As they met, fighting continued
across much of Bosnia.

Reaction

Avery said he thought Prcsidcni
Bush’s recent actions against Iraq were
justified and appropriate. He saic
Iraq’s “cheat and retreat” policy ol
breaking the resolutions was aimed ai
testing the United States’ ability tc
enforce the U.N. resolutions.
He said President-elect Clinton
would take a tougher, moreconsistcm
stand against Iraq than his predeces
sor.
“I think Clinton and his advisers
think Bush was just too easy or
Saddam,” Avery said. “I think they
believe that if Bush had been more
forceful, we might not have the prob
lem we have now.”
During the Persian Gulf war two
years ago, Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein launched missile attacks
against civilian targets in Israel, hop
ing to dissolve an already fragile alli
ance between Western countries and
Arab stales united against Iraq.
zansKi saia tnecnanccsoi resumed
attacks on Israel were unlikely.
“All Saddam could do is launch
more missile attacks, and they weren't
very effective last time,” he said.
But Avery would not rule out the
possibility of further Iraqi aggression
toward Israel.
i i * '
“It’s hard to know,” he said.
“Saddam has shown himself to be
unpredictable, and has given in to
irrational behavior sometimes.”
But, he said, Iraqi attacks on Israel
would result in “quick and decisive”
retaliation from the Israelis — some
thing that was avoided two years ago.
“I think Saddam is smart enough to
realize that if he ordered any more
Scud missiles launched into Tel Aviv,
he would be smashed pretty quickly,”
Avery said. “I just don’t believe Israel
would stay out of it this time around.
“New attacks on Israel would be
inviting more damage, maybe even
disaster.”
