signing staff would make the separate
college work.
“I m not a big spender because I pay
a lot of taxes in this state,” Skrupa said.
“If I didn’t think this would be totally
cost efficient... I wouldn’t support it.
“The cost is being totally blown out
of proportion with the need. When
there is a need to be filled in education
money has been found.”
Skrupa said the criticisms about
lowering the quality of education in
Lincoln was another bogeyman.
“Why would it lower the quality?”
she said. “Lincoln will continue to be
the flagship campus as far as research.”
Sokol, who represents a coalition of
more than 80 Omaha businesses,
agreed with Skrupa saying quality was
not an issue.
“No one here is trying to reduce
funding for the Lincoln programs,” he
said. ‘‘This isn’t an Omaha vs. Lincoln
issue.”
Sokol is the president and chief
executive officer of California Energy
Co. in Omaha.
Omaha had a separate engineering
college, Sokol said, until it was merged
with UNL’s in 1970. He said it was
unreasonable for Omaha businesses to
send employees to Lincoln day classes
because the classes were not offered in
Omaha.
Sokol said UNL Chancellor Gra
ham Spanier and Liberty have both
acknowledged UNO has been neglect
ed.
The coalition realized it would be
called upon to cover some of the esti
mated $2 to $3 million dollars, Sokol
said.
It is good for Nebraska to encour
age business, Sokol said, something
expanded engineering would do. He
said more jobs meant less taxes for
everyone.

“(The AAHE) chose them because
they believe they have the programs
and values systems that are exempla
ry,” she said.
The program would determine re
wards for teaching by assessing good
teaching methods, Leitzel said.
“It's to establish what to look at
when determining the quality of teach
ing,” she said. “How do you know
good teaching when you see it?
“This program is designed to make
an exemplary program available to all
universities to duplicate."
Using teaching methods in con
junction with research capabilities is
another aspect of the program.
The recipient institutions will be
officially announced Friday at the
AAHE convention in New Orleans.

From Staff Reports
A court date for five Univer
sity of Missouri-Columbia stu
dents, who allegedfy stole a stat
ue from the Sheldon Memorial
Sculpture Garden, was post
poned Monday until Feb. 7.
Jason Mott, 19, Jason Meyer,
19, Richard Daniel, 19, Brad
Schuster, 18,andCraigRehmert,
18, were arrested Nov. 21 for
criminal mischief in the theft of
a 3-foot-tall statue of Abraham
Lincoln.
The men, all members of the
Missouri chapter of Farmhouse
Fraternity, were arrested after
Lincoln police saw them carry
ing the statue near 30th and Y
streets.
Woody Bradford, an Omaha
attorney who is representing the
men, did not appear in court
Monday.
Criminal mischief is a Class
IV felony, punishable by a max
imum of five years in prison and
a $10,000 fine or both. The fel
ony has no minimum sentence.
University police have said
about $ 10,000 damage was done
to the base of the statue.
The statue now is in New
York being repaired, a spokes
man for Sheldon Memorial Art
Gallery said Monday.

building blocks for Nebraska’s future.
“Our accomplishments of yester
day are the starting point for tomor
row," Nelson said.
More has to be done to rid the
streets of crime, Nelson said, includ
ing providing police and the courts
with strength to do their job in catch
ing and prosecuting more criminals.
“We must have a full set of teeth to
take that bite out of'crime,” he said.
Nelson said he wanted to continue
developing Nebraska agriculture into
an even stronger world provider.
With his guidance and the help of
the people of Nebraska, Nelson said
his goals could be reached.
“East to west, north to south and all
points in between, I see Nebraskans
from all points of life working for one
Nebraska,” he said.
The Nebraska Republican Party
responded to Nelson’s re-election bid,
saying he was slow to react to key
issues including job creation, economic
development ami crime.
' Tn a press release, Phil Young,
executive director of the Nebraska
Republican Party, said the tax cut
initiated by Nelson's administration
was ineffective and only amounted to
40 cents per week for each taxpayer.
It also questioned Nelson’s person
al staff bonuses he gave in 1992, when
the state was facing a budget crisis.
“Nebraska needs real leadership,
not a good ribbon-cutter, in the gover
nor's office,” Young said in the re
lease.
Nelson traveled across the eastern
part of the state Monday. Today his
campaign moves to western Nebraska
and ends Wednesday in his hometown
of McCook.
