A L OOK A T CRIME ON CAMPUS
AND IN THE COMMUNITY
Minors ticketed
at Montigo Bay
From Staff Reports
Police conducting a tavern check
Wednesday night arrested five minors
at Montigo Bay, 14th and O streets.
The minors, all females, were seated
at the same booth. On the table were
four glasses of draw beer, two pitchers
and a Zima alcoholic beverage, police
reports said.
The officer, who made the check just
before 11 p.m., reported that he didn’t
think the women appeared to be 21
years old. When he asked them for
identification, four produced fake piec
es of identification, and the other had
none.
All of the minors live in Lincoln.
Three are 19 years old, and the othertwo
arc 18. Police charged all five with
being minors in possession. Four also
were charged with providing false iden
tification.
Sgt. Ann Hcermann said the charges
were misdemeanors, punishable with
fines and/or probation. That decision is
up to the courts, she said.
Tavem checks are done randomly at
an officer’s discretion, she said, de
pending on how much time the officer
has and whether the tavem has had
problems with minors in the past.
Heermann said she was unaware of any
earlier problems at Montigo Bay.
Man accused
of public nudity
From Staff Reports
A man was arrested on a charge of
indecent exposure at the Holmes Lake
dog run area Wednesday night, police
reports said.
A woman sitting on a picnic table in
the area at 5 p.m. reported seeing the
man walk by a first time, clothed. A few
minutes later, she saw the man walking
toward her, naked.
The woman left the area and went to
the Holmes Lake Golf Course to call
police. Police arrested Steven
Scheneman, 46, at the scene a short
time later. The woman returned and
identified him as the same man that had
approached her earlier.
Longtime vendor leaves stadium
Donation too big
for hot dog seller
By Josh Wfrnmer
Staff Reporter
The installation of the HuskerVision
instant replay screens in Memorial
Stadium creates a new horizon for NU
football, but at the same time itsignals
the end of at least one long-standing
tradition.
Fairbury Hot Dogs have been served
in the stadium during Conihusker foot
ball games since 1962.
But when the athletic department
asked each vendor for a yearly finan
cial contribution, Fairbury decided to
discontinue hot dog sales inside the
stadium.
Chris Peterson, associate athletic
director of external operations for the
university, said the athletic depart
ment asked vendors for an annual
$30,000 donation in the form of cash
or product.
The donations from the about 16
sponsors will go to pay for the
HuskerVision screens, which costabout
$4 million to run. Most sponsors sign
a three-year contract with the chance
to renew the contract at the end of the
first year.
Tom Roode, owner of Roode Pack
ing, Fairbury’s parent company, said
his business “simply can’t afford" the
contribution. Fairbury, he said, sells
about 3,000 pounds of hot dogs per
game, which adds up to21,000 pounds
per season.
In all, he said Fairbury made about
$4,000 to $5,000 a year from stadium
hot dogs sales. Matched with a $30,000
contribution, he said the company could
not justify the expenditure.
“I have a little bit of a concern how
(the need to pay for the HuskerVision
screens) comes in with the conces
sions in the stadium,” Roodc said.
Fairbury was approached before
any of the other potential vendors and
offered the opportunity to retain their
place in the stadium, Peterson said.
Roodc said he was approached in
late February and gave his refusal in
March.
“In a business sense, we went out of
our way to try to make the deal work
for them,” Peterson said. “We were
very open-minded to allow things that
they’ve done in the past to count to
ward the $30,000.”
When Fairbury announced its deci
sion to depart, the athletic department
chose Armour Hot Dogs as the stadi
um’s new vendor.
“Our goal was and still is to keep as
much money in the state of Nebraska
as we possibly can,” Peterson said.
Roode, for one, is not angry about
the athletic department’s decision.
“I’m not bitter about it; ‘disap
pointed’ would be a good word,” he
uln a business sense, we
went out of our way to
try to make the deal
work for them. We were
very open-minded to
allow things that they've
done in the past to count
toward the $30,000. ”
CHAD PETERSON
associate athletic director of
external operations
said.
He has considered the possibil ity of
serving his hot dogs in the stadium
a^ain after a few years, but he knows
his company will have a hard time
competing with Armour.
In the meantime, Roodc said Husk
er and Fairbury hot dog fans would be
able to satisfy hot dog cravings across
the street from the stadium at the Big
Red Shop.
Fairbury will be serving their con
cessions there during every home game.
