slamming their racquet against the
wall, kicking the wall and swearing a
lot. To me, it’s not that big of a deal to
lose a point.”
Basketball is Spanier’s other sport,
but racquetball seems to be taking
over. Golf isn’t an option for Spanier,
either, because he can’t afford to take
four hours from his day for a sport.
Spanicr was on the cross country
team in high school, but he gave up
running because “it gets kind of bor
ing.”
“I like to do something like rac
quetball where there’s other people
involved,” he said. “It’s a game.”
It’s a garfie Spanier has mastered,
but I wasn’t at a total loss. I scored
three timesatleast. When playing with
someone like Spanier, that’s a start.
Otey

Judge Pasco Bowman and Senior Cir
cuit Judge John Gibson issued the fol
lowing opinion:
“Otey had no state-created right
other than the right to ask for mercy.
This does not create a projcclablc in
terest in clemency... (or) in which the
Board receives his request or in having
unbiased decision makers on the
Board.”
The opinion states that because
neither the state constitution nor the
clemency statutes impose any stan
dards on the board, due process of the
courts does not apply.
The panel also dismissed Otey’s
claim he was treated differently from
prior clemency applicants and that
Stcnberg’s vote in the hearing, and two
of his assistants presenting the prose
cution's case, violated his rights.
The majority opinion staled it was
unrealistic for Otey to charge Stenbcrg
should have been barred from silting
on the board and the assistant attorneys
general from contesting clemency.
“To agree with Otey would hardly
be federalism at its best,” the opinion
stated. “Otey has had his just due ... in
“7o agree with Otey
would hardly be
federalism at its best. ”
8th U.S. Circuit Court Opinion
the courts of law these past 16 years.
“The motion for stay of execution is
denied.”
Senior Circuit Judge John R.
Gibson, the one dissenting vote, said
he voted in Otcy’s favor in 1991 and
Tuesday’s argument was “even more
compelling.”
Gibson said he supported Otey’s
claim the hearing was fundamentally
unfair. Stenberg’s statements of ob
jectivity “do not cure this defect,” he
said.
“The idea of a prisoner pleading for
his life before a board that includes the
very official responsible for his prose
cution and conviction is shocking to
the judicial conscience,” Gibson wrote.
“The Slate has created a playing field
that is tilted toward denial.”

A LOOK AT CRIME ON CAMPUS AND IN THE COMMUNITY
Woman robbed
after using ATM
From Staff Reports
A 34-year-old Lincoln woman was
robbed at gunpoint early Tuesday
morning when she got inside her car,
parked in a lot at 70th and Van Dorn
streets, police said.
The woman reported that she had
returned to her car at about 6 a.m. after
using an automatic teller machine.
After she got inside her car, two
men opened the car door and demand
ed the money. One was armed with a
black revolver, police said.
The victim gave the men the money
and her wallet, police said. The total
loss was $63.
The woman described the men as
being between 5 feet 6 inches and 5
feet 8 inches tall, wearing baggy jeans,
dark tennis shoes and dark T-shirts.
One man wore a dark bandanna around
his head.
Later Tuesday, a second woman
from Lincoln reported that two men
who fit that description were standing
by the same ATM just before 6 a.m.
The second woman said she was
going to use the machine but decided
not to use it because the men were
standing by it, police said.
Police have no suspects, but they
said they believed the men the second
woman saw may have been the same
men who robbed the first woman.

Parking

City and East campuses and on
StarTran’s regular routes throughout
the city.
The parking permit fee increase
also will fund increased shuttle ser
vice.
Transportation Services will spend
about $50,000, Cacak said, for an “ex
press” route that runs through City
Campus. The route is for students liv
ing in the residence halls and faculty
and staff members who want to get
across campus quickly.
“In the past, employees have had to
drive their cars all around campus to
run errands,” he said.
He said residence hall students nev
er had been able to lake a shuttle
around City Campus.
The money for this service includes
operation costs, bus depreciation and
maintenance and the bus driver’s sal
ary. This figure is similar to other
shuttle buses that the university oper
ates.
