Chancellor Graham Spanler said his summer was almost as busy as the school year. But
he did find time to travel with his family to Europe and trace the literary footsteps of Ernest
Hemingway.
Spanier travels, finds new relative
By Matthew Waite
Senior Reporter
This summer, UNL Chancellor
Graham Spanier shared his family
history with Nebraska newspaper
readers. To Spanicr’s surprise, one
of those readers was able to help him
learn more about his family.
In July,a feature story appeared in
an Omaha paper about Spanier and
his family background.
The story was about his family’s
experiences with the Holocaust, dur
ing which his father and grandfather
were forced to flee Germany and the
Nazis.
“I received dozens of letters from
people, including a letter from a
relative I never knew I had who
i "
survived the holocaust and of all
places ended up in Omaha, Neb.”
“It was probabl y the most dramat
ic thing that happened in my life this
summer,” he said.
But the rest of his summer was
dramatic, too, he said.
This summer, Spanicr, his wife,
Sandra, and their two children —
Hadley, 10, and Brian, 13—went to
Europe to trace the steps of author
Emest Hemingway.
Sandra Spanicr is an English pro
fessoral the University of Nebraska
Lincoln and a Hemingway expert.
This summer, she served as chair
woman of a session at the Interna
tional Hemingway Conference in
Paris.
One of the highlights of the trip.
Graham Spanicr said, was going to
Pamplona, Spain, to sec the running
of the bulls.
“That was the most amazing thing
1’ vc seen in my life,” he said. “I took
my video camera, and I have a pic
ture of a guy being gored right there
(in front of me).”
After traveling and finding new
family members, Spanier’s work still
was waiting for him back in Lincoln.
“You do pay a price for taking a
vacation,” he said. “The work docsn’ t
stop. The mail keeps arriving each
day you arc gone.”
The pace during the summer is
different from the fall and spring
semesters, he said, but it’s still busy.

mise violated free speech.
ASUN President Andrew Loudon
said he hoped the issue could remain on
campus. However, he said, some of the
claims against ASUN were unfair.
“I don’t feel like we have violated
anyone’s First Amendment rights,”
Loudon said. “I think UPC does a fine
job of programming. That’s never been
an issue.”
Loudon said some accountability was
needed in UPC. He said ASUN repre
sentatives were held accountable to stu
denis because they were elected by the
student body, and UPC was not.
“I think it is important that UPC
remains autonomous,” Loudon said. “It
is an issue of accountability, not free
speech.”
Coll ins said in order for NCLU to get
involved, the internal campus process
must fail.
“If things don’t get worked out in the
university, that’s when we would get
more formally involved,” Collins said.
She said formal involvement would
mean the signing of agreements that
stated the NCLU would represent UPC
and the hiring of a lawyer.
