Moor would not comment on the
case, but he said he was satisfied
with how the investigation was pro
ceeding.
Griesen said parts of the investi
gation would be postponed until
Knoll’s family and physicians allowed
university officials to speak with
Knoll.
But Griesen said the university
was investigating other leads. He did
not say when the investigation would
conclude or what sanctions would be

fair one.
“What you really have in a frater

not trying to hurt each other.”

Hall said he took soil samples from
610 S. 52nd St., Bjorklund’s former
home, on Sunday. He said he found
several man-made elements, such as
glass and paint particles, in the yard.
“The dirt on the shovel could not
have come from the yard,” Hall said.
“The samples were not similar at all.”
The courtroom was filled with
about 50 onlookers who anticipated
the testimony of Lincoln Police De
tective Greg Sorensen.
Sorensen testified during
Bjorklund’s pretrial hearing that
Bjorklund confessed to a murder.
However, Sorensen’s testimony about
Bjorklund’s specific statements nev
er has been made public.
The courtroom was closed for 2 1/
2 hours Monday morning as District
Judge Donald Endacott and attorneys
in the case met privately. After the
meeting, attorneys told reporters
Sorensen would not be testifying
Monday.
Endacott said he could not discuss
what was said at the meeting.
“There has not been a closure,” he
said. “That is all I can say.”
When the courtroom opened at
11:15 a.m.. Special Deputy Defend
er Richard Goos continued his cross
examination of Dr. Matthias Okoyc,
a forensic pathologist at Pathology
Medical Services in Lincoln. Okoyc
testified Thursday that Harms was
the victim of sexual sadism and tor
ture before she died.
Goos asked if the small, superfi
cial wounds found on Harms’ body
could have been the result of animal
activity. Okoye said the particular
wounds Goos was speaking of were
not the result of animals, but rather a
sharp object such as a knife.

Five candidates are still being con
sidered for the position, Pat Hayward,
FSU presidential search spokeswom
an, said.
Four Florida State candidates are
finalists for the presidency: Talbot
D’Alembcrte, a FSU law professor;
Robert Glidden, FSU provost and act
ing interim president; Melvin Stith,
dean of the FSU Business College;
and T.K. Wetherell, president of the
independent colleges and universi
ties of Florida.
Robert Hemenway, chancellor of
the University of Kcntucky-Lexing
ton, is the only external candidate
still in the race.
Massengale announced in Janu
ary he would not seek a contract ex
tension as NU president because of
personal and professional reasons. He
agreed to continue as president until
June 1994, at the request of the NU
Board of Regents.
In March, the board granted him
an agronomy professorship at the
University of Ncbraska-Lincoln with
an annual salary of $115,000.
' Massengale’s current salary is
$165,000.
filed against the fraternity.
The local chapter has been help
ful, Griesen said, and the national
and local representatives also have
cooperated.
Griesen said assurances that this
would never happen again would be
needed to keep ihe local chapter from
losing its charter.
“If we find out there’s not much
hope of salvaging elements of the
fraternity in a positive light, the evi
dence would be to close it,” Griesen
said.
The local Fiji chapter was sanc
tioned by the university from 1989
90 after a fraternity member sexually
houses, when formulating opinions.
That practice means one house’s acts
affect other fraternities, he said.
“It’s pretty naive to say it doesn’t
affect the greck system as a whole,”
he said.
The only way to prevent hazing
incidents is to stop the practice ol
hazing, he said.
Schrocder said his fraternity found
a way to prevent hazing pledges.
“Through our national policy
we’ve eliminated pledge classes. Wc
assaulted a 17-ycar-old girl iri the
house. Griesen said past sanctions
would factor into the university’s de
cision, but he didn’t know how much.
Griesen said the case could go
before the student judicial board.
But if the fraternity meets certain
stipulations, he said, the administra
tion could levy its own decision with
out a complete review. The fraterni
ty would have to admit wrongdoing,
show remorse and accept all sanc
tions, Griesen said.
Since the Fiji incident came to
light, Griesen said his office had re
ceived three informal reports of haz

He said his chapter’s policy coor
dinated with the national policy on
including new members.
“1 feel our system works,” he said.
“We have a successful program and
maybe it could help everyone out,
but we’re not saying everyone should
do it.”
Fraternities could have pledge
classes without hazing, he said.
