Judge postpones
student’s hearing
From Staff Reports
A judge postponed UNL student
Richard Barrett’s Monday court ap
pearance for sexual assault until Nov.
22.
Barrett, 21, a sophomore engineer
ing major, allegedly assaulted a 20
year-old University of Nebraska-Lin
coln student after a study session at
her apartment on Oct. 21.
Lincoln Police Sgt. Ann Heermann
said the woman had several other
students at the apartment to study for
a test.
Apparently she, Barrett, and an
other woman fell asleep, Heermann
said. The woman woke at 6 a.m. when
Barrett allegedly had forced sexual
intercourse with her.
Cited with first-degree sexual as
sault, Barrett was released from the
Lancaster County jail on Oct. 27 after
- paying 10 percent of a $ 10,000 bond.

ing did not concern him unduly, the
wounds did.
He said he still experienced pain
and had to limit his physical activity.
But there is more than physical
healing ahead, he said
"I still have to go through some
psychological realignment," he said.
Ong returned to classes after miss
ing one week. Adding to the stress of
catching up, Ong said his concentra
tion lasts for only the first 15 minutes
of classes.
“After that, my head starts wan
dering,” Ong said.
His thoughts wander back to the
assault and ahead to the possible pun
ishment of his attackers.
Three suspects have been cited in
the case, including one UNL student.
The suspects’ names will not be re
leased until the Lancaster County At
Trial

a .223 rifle were stolen from his house,
1944 Lake St., on Sept. 17, 1992.
Two guns of the same type were
entered into evidence by the prosecu
tion. Lyons said the guns stolen from
his house were similar to those pros
ecutors say were involved in the mur
der.
Lyons said he knew Scott Barney,
but had never invited Barney into his
house. Lyons said Barney saw the
guns while he was cleaning them at a
mutual friend’s house.
The stolen .223 rifle was recov
ered by Lincoln police at Barney’s
father’s house.
In other testimony, the manager of
Maurices, a women’s clothing store,
testified that Harms bought a green
B.U.M. Equipment jacket at the store
in July.
Harms wore a similar jacket Sept.
22, 1992, the night she disappeared.
Two of Harms’ friends testified
about the type of clothing she 1 iked to
wear. Both witnesses cried when look
ing at Harms’ photo in court.
Bjorklund’s trial will resume Tues
day at 8:30 a.m.

nine of the 10 candidates this week at
FSU, she said.
Heyward said the screening com
mittee consisted of FSU professors,
students, alumni groups, staff mem
bers and community members.
The committee will trim the 10
candidatc list to a small number of
candidates who will return for longer,
in-depth interviews by the end of the
week, Heyward said.
The first round of interviews will
be short, Heyward said.
“The meetings arc just to meet the
committee,” she said. “It’s a fast way
to get this huge committee together.
They’re from all over the state.”
The second round of interviews
will be a two-day process, she said.
An FSU Board of Regents sub
committee will make a final recom
mendation for the full board to vote
on.
Heyward said she hoped to have
the final selection made by Thanks
giving.
Heyward said Massengale’s re
sponsibilities as FSU president would
be to serve as the school’s chief aca
demic officer, similar to Nebraska’s
chancellor position.
“He’ll be responsible for a major
fund-raising campaign,” Heyward
said. He also would be responsible for
alumni group cultivation and for pub
lic outreach, she said.
Massengalc could not be reached
for comment.
