John Goebel, new dean of the UNL
College of Business Administration,
will meet with the college’s faculty
and staff today, a UNL administrator
said.

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.

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

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

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.
