Jetliner crashes in Poland
WARSAW, Poland—A Lufthansa
jetliner carrying 70 passengers and
crew skidded off a wet runway, caught
fire and broke in two Tuesday after
landing in a rainstorm at Warsaw’s
international airport.
Polish authorities reported an un
known number of deaths and 42 inju
ries. Lufthansa officials later told a
Warsaw news conference that two
people were missing.
Lufthansa chief Capt. Robert Salzl
said the two may be hospitalized yet
unaccounted for, because hospitals
had not named the injured. He also
said that the charred wreckage had
not been searched completely.
Maciej Kalita, the head of the air
port, said more than 42 people were
hospitalized and that some already
had been released. None had life
threatening injuries, Kalita said.
Lufthansa spokesman Hans-Willy
Blum said earlier that the Airbus A320
landed normally at 5:30 p.m., but then
failed to stop, jumped an embank
ment and came to a halt with the
engines on fire. The incident occurred
as a brief, heavy rain shower swept
over the city.
“Normally the plane loses speed
after landing, but this plane started to
go faster while on the runway,” pas
senger Marcin Bronikowski said. “The
runway ended and the plane jumped
up and was ablaze. One wing broke
apart.”
Earlier, Krzysztof Piatek, a
firefighting officer who led the effort
to put out the blaze, said there could
be as many as 40 burned bodies in the
jet’s fuselage. Dr. Jerzy Olszewski,
Warsaw’s chief doctor, said after vis
iting the scene that some passengers
died but he did not know how many.
The jet’s fuselage broke in the
middle, and part of the left wing
snapped off. Escape chutes hung from
the sides and the cockpit glass was
broken..

Oklahoma youths plead infather’s death
CHICKASHA, Okla. — Two
boys pleaded no contest Tuesday to
a lesser charge of manslaughter in
the death of their father, who was
shot in his sleep for allegedly sex
ually abusing tneir younger sister.
Defense attorney Robert Perrine
said the brothers, Herman Dutton,
15, and his 12-year-old brother,
Druie, entered the plea in what is
called “deferred juvenile adjudica
tion.” Under that type of plea, the
boys will not be imprisoned and the
case will be dismissed if they stay
out of trouble until April 1996.
The boys say they shot Lonnie
Dutton, 39, on July 12 after their
10-year-old sister confided that the
father had sexually molested her.
Relatives and other adults say the
Rush Springs man had physically
and mentally abused all four of his
children.

Trade Center bombing trial got

ed potential jurors that an indict
ment doesn’t mean guilt.

this case is good for making paper
airplanes,” U.S. District Judge
Kevin Duffy told a group ot about
50 jury candidates. He asked them
to forget what they have heard about
the case.
In all, 5,000 jury candidates were
selected, one of the largest groups
ever assembled for a federal trial.
Bill opposes removal of faculty lot
By Becky Becher
Staff Reporter
ASUN President Keith Benes
said a resolution opposing the re
moval of the faculty parking lot
north of the Nebraska Union was in
response to student concerns about
parking.
The Association of Students of
the University of Nebraska will
vote on the resolution at its meeting
tonight.
The proposal, created by Uni
versity ofNebraska-Lincoln Chan
cellor Graham Spanier, is still in
"\djC,vB, OUIK.5 nQiVJ.
If university officials do decide
to remove the parking lot, the area
will be turned into a green space
and the faculty and staff parking
spaces that are eliminated will be
moved to other parking spaces.
Benes said a few students had
come to him in support of remov
ing the parking lot, but the majority
of students who had approached
him were against it.
Replacing the parking lot with a
green space would make the “big
problem” of parking worse, he said.
“The general plan is to keep
faculty closer to campus,” Benes
said, “and if people move, it will be
students."
Benes said students were wor
ried faculty parking would be
moved to student parking spaces
and students would be forced to
park farther from campus.
Besides parking concerns, Benes
said students were worried about
the money that would be spent on
the project.
Benes said students thought it
was unnecessary to spend money
on removing the parking lot when
the money could be spent on more
necessary improvements, like class
rooms or renovations at Richards
Hall.
“This could toe a very controver
sial issue within the next few
months," Benes said.j

Moul, an elected official, will move
to an appointed position—director of
a state department. The state’s consti
tution allows Nelson to appoint a lieu
tenant governor if the job is vacant.
Nelson called the job shifts a tick
lish situation. But the governor said
he wasn't worried that Nebraskans
would think his administration was
unstable.
“People on both sides of the aisle
hail this as a bipartisan effort to ad
vance the goals of the state,” Nelson
said. “Ifyou always have the philos
ophy, ‘if it isn’t broke don’t fix it,’
you’ll never get anywhere.”
