Joan Leitzel, vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, announced on Tuesday that Goebel, UNL vice chan cellor for business and finance, would replace current dean Gary Scnwendiman when he steps down on Jan. 1, 1995. Goebel was a likely candidate for the position, Leitzel said. "He has the most administrative experience in the university at all lev els except dean," Leitzel said. Leitzel said she met with CBA’s executive and general committees before appointing Goebel. Those committees passed a resolution to make every effort to make Goebel the new dean. Ron Hampton, a CBA associate dean, said Goebel was an excellent choice for dean. "He’s a fine person and a top notch administrator," Hampton said "He's dedicated to the school, and he’s served the college well before." Goebel was chairman of the ac counting department from 1977 to 1981 and acting chairman from 1976 to 1977. He was acting chairman of the management department from 197510 1976. Goebel coordinated the residency doctoral program from 1974 to 1975. He coordinated the master’s program from 1974 to 1979. Leitzel said Goebel would serve as dean for two years while a search committee sought a new dean.

L mess , _:.!y ~ ~ MV HaMar/DN Icy roads wreak havoc on city motorists - Jon Jackson was on his way home firooi a Sunday evening game of basketball at Belmont Commu nity Center in north Lincoln. A Yellow Cab driver was on his way to pickup a fare. And others were going across town or head ing home from the four-day holi day weekend. About 6: IS p.m. Sunday they all met—or collided—coming down Interstate 180 into downtown Lin coln. Police said about 3S to 40 cars were involved in the chain reaction collision. “We had a couple of cars that started spinning out of control,” Lincoln Police Lt. Kent Woodhead said. “It was a chain reaction.” The collision ended near the in tersection of Ninth and Q streets. The accident kept the interstate closed for about an hour, Woodhead said, but caused no mayor injuries. About 6:45 p.m., city of Lincoln trucks began spreading sand and gravel on the icy byways. That was “about a half hour too late,” Jackson said in an interview after the accident, as tow trucks See WEATHER on 3 Orange Bowl tickets available all week Staff Reporter Tickets for the Jan. I Orange Bowl game are available through the UNL Athletic Ticket Office today through Friday.

Students’ personal checks must show a Lincoln address. Tickets were available earlier through Ticketmaster outlets in Florida. But no tickets are avail able through the outlets now, one Ticketmaster operator said. “There were plenty on the sys tem just two days ago,’* she said on Sunday. She said it was hard to say who had been buying the tickets in what quantities because of the large number of Ticketmaster outlets. Jeff Krieger, an undeclared freshman, is one student who won’t fight for tickets with the rest of the Comhuskcr faithful. Krieger said a “big-time athletic booster” bought four tickets for him and three friends before the Iowa State game on Nov. 12. Internet connects the world ByCkmdLmrmn* Staff Reporter The Internet lets ordinary people do amazing things. “It’s a network .. of networks " said Doug Gale, the director of the Computing Resource Center at the University ofNebraska-Lin coln. Loren Frerichs, 'Computing Re source Center consultant, saiu the Internet integrated local computer networks around the world. Every network is linked through telecom munication lines. UNL’s network, HuskcrNct, al lows access to any network or user within the Internet, Frerichs said. Gale said people could access al most any type of information through the Internet. Files stored in the vari ous networks range from research paper* to stock reports, he said. The Internet is most commonly used for electronic mail or e-mail, Frerichs said. Users can send text from their computer terminals to other users anywhere in the world. HuskerNet also offers access to UNL libraries. Users can browse the libraries' card catalogs and library bulletins, said Guy Jones, director of technical resources. HuskerNet's major influx of infor mation, NetworkNews, provides news from The Associated Press, The Washington Port and other services, Jones said. Users also can read and post bulletins in more than 1,000 dis cussion groups. Servers like GOPHER and World Wide Web act as doorways between HuskerNet and the Internet, Jones said. The Internet began as a govern ment-sponsored tool for military re search, Gale said. The Advanced Research Project Agency developed the first prototypes in the 1970s. In 1985, dale submitted a pro posal to the National Science Foun dation requesting funding for MidNct, a Midwest regional network. Mid Net connected with regional net works in Maryland and Florida to create the first large-scale Internet. Since then the focus of Internet has shifted from defense research to higher education, Gale said. College campuses developed their own net works in the 1980s and 1990s and began offering Internet accounts to students. Recently, corporations have set up their own networks to put the Internet to a business use, Gale said. Product research and sales data have become available to the world. A wide variety of people make up the Internet’s 30 million users. Internet users represent a cross sec tion of educated America, Gale said. Some computer background is re quired to use the Internet, Gale said. Using the Internet is comparable to programming a videocassette re corder, he said.
