I’ll kill you right now,” came from a second-story window. UNL Police Chief Ken Cauble said the altercation was the first fairly major incident between twogrcek houses this year. Most if not all of the people involved had been drinking alcohol and were intoxicated, he said. The fight began when members of Phi Della Theta walked onto the lawn of Theta Xi, whose members were preparing for their“Drift wood” party, Cauble said. A fight ensued, he said, and two UNL students, Jason Hendrickson and David Hegarty, were arrested.

She was last seen Sunday at 9 p.m. leaving Johnson Lake near Lexington after a weekend with her family. ' She was driving a blue, four-door Honda Accord with Lancaster County license plates. Friends, family and law enforcement officials pleaded Thursday for anyone with information on her whereabouts to notify authorities. State patrol spokesman Jeff Hanson said de scriptions of Marshall’s personality led the patrol to believe foul play was involved. ’This is uncharacteristic, and that is why we are actively pursuing this,” Hanson said. Timarree Brown, Marshall’s roommate, said Marshall would not leave for an extended period without telling someone. She said Marshall had no reason to run away. “We’re scared,” Brown said. “The waiting is difficult. We don’t know what to do.” Brown said she and Michelle Snurr, another roommate, waited by the phone Thursday night and were trying to keep things as normal as possible. Dennis Leonard, a criminal investigator with the state patrol, said Thursday he was busy follow ing leads but had found nothing. “We don’t even have evidence that criminal activity has taken place,” Leonard said from Holdrege.

The group discussed practice schedules. Violations cancel crew practice By Ken Paul man Staff'Reporter Practice was cancelled abruptly for UNL Crew members last week because campus recreation believes members have too many unauthorized keys. Crew members showed up for practice last Thursday morning and found the Office of Campus Recreation had locked them out of the boathouse and placed no trespassing signs on the facility. Members were denied access to the building for six days until Tuesday. Leah Hall Dorothy, assistant director for sports clubs, said campus recreation changed the locks to keep the access policy consistent among sports clubs and campus recreation facilities. The boathouse is owned by campus recreation, she said. v Bill Goa, associate director for facilities management, said the building’s locks arc changed regularly to prevent unauthorized people with duplicate keys from entering. Neither Goa nor Dorothy knew the last time the locks were changed, but agreed it had been several years. Before Thursday’s lockout, three crew members carried keys to the boathouse and could access it at any time. Under the new guidelines, those members can check out only one key from the OCR and must return it that day. No one can be in the boathouse between 11:15 p.m. and 6:15 a.m., when campus recreation is closed. JefTTejral, a senior natural resources major and crew member, said restricted access would make it more difficult for members to use the boathouse for individual workouts. That would hurt the club in the long run, he said. “It seems like a control issue. They (campus recreation) don t want to attempt to see it our way, or even compromise. ” ■ JEFF TEJRAL Crewmember Crew President Brad Crawford, a senior English major, said campus recreation had See CREW on 10 Police discover marijuana while investigating burglary By Brian Sharp Senior Reporter A former University of Nebraska-Lincoln stu dent was charged Thursday in a mariiuana-grow ing operation that police said they discovered at his home.
