Half of Harms Memorial funds raised
From Staff R»port»
The Candice Harms Memorial
Steering Committee has raised a little
more than half of the money needed
to build a memorial to the former
UNL student.
The committee has raised $8,000
of the $15,000 needed to build the
memorial in North Plaza Park, said
Andrew Loudon, president of the
Association of Students of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. He said the me
morial would be built both to remcm
bcr Harmsand to make students think
about their safety.
The committee is targeting uni
versity faculty and staff to reach its
goal of $15,000. The committee has
sent letters to all faculty members
asking for contributions of $25 to
$100.
Loudon said the list of contribu
tors was impressive. Students giving
small donations of $5 to $10 have
made the most contributions so far,
Loudon said. There also have been
several large contributors, he said,
and the university has been generous.
The committee has held a spa
ghetti feed and a phone drive to col
lect money.
The memorial will be a curved 15
foot seating wall, about four feet high.
It will be inscribed with Harms’ name
and a poem chosen by the Harms
family.
Loudon said he encouraged any
one who had not made a donation to
do so.

Rumors of Schwendiman's resig
nation had arisen prior to the an
nouncement, Kennedy said, but she
would not comment on what they
entailed. Goebel’s appointment was a
step in the right direction, she said,
but reaction among faculty is mixed.
Kennedy said most women faculty
were in favor of the appointment be
cause the issue of gender equity in the
college had not been addressed since
a report focused public attention on it
last year.
The UNL chapter of the American
Association of University Professors
last February released a report that
described the climate of the college as
“chilly” toward women.
Jane Conoley, chairwoman of the
Chancellor’s Commission on the Sta
tus of Women, said new leadership
would be a positive step for the col
lege.
Conoley agreed with Kennedy’s
assessment of faculty reaction, say*
ing that “many women in the college
were very happy” with
Schwendi man’s resignation.
“(Schwcndiman’s) reaction to the
report .. . was not very positive,”
Conoley said. “He did not accept any
element of it being a true reflection of
his college.”
In a memo dated Feb. 19,
Schwendi man wrote that the AAUP
report on gender equity was a “plot to
disrupt the college.”
But Conoley said most deans didn’t
retain their positions for more than
10 years. In that sense, she said,
Schwendi man's announcement was
not unusual.
In his place, Goebel can accom
plish a lot, Conoley said, depending
on his approach. He can either lead
the college or take care of it, she said.
On gender equity, Goebel said he
would listen to CBA faculty.
“Had there been any question of
this being a care taker role, I wouldn’t
have been interested at all,” he said.
Internet

“I didn’t know what was there or
where to go,” she said, adding that as
she learned to use the Internet, she
could turn on lights and find new
doorways.
Wiede originally wanted to use the
Internet for cheap communication
with family members around the na
tion, she said.
Stacy Uden, a senior chemical en
gineering major, said he initially used
the Internet three years ago to pro
gram in FORTRAN, a method for
writing computer commands, for his
classes. He then caught on to Usenet
discussion groups and e-mail, Uden
said.
He said he found an “incompre
hensible” amount of information
available to him.
“It’s enjoyable to find and use all
this information and expose yourself
to it,” Uden said.
Wesley Ferrel, a computer engi
neering sophomore, said he got his
first account to keep in touch with his
f
girlfriend at Kansas University. He
said he now uses all of the other
services.
Some UNL faculty have been more
accustomed to the Internet than most
who have caught on in the past few
years.
Stephen Rcichenbach, a computer
science and engineering professor,
first dabbled with the Internet in 1986,
he said.
The Intemefworks the same way
now as it did then, Reichcnbach said,
but more services are available and
the tools for gathering information
arc more useful.
Steve Dunbar, a mathematics and
statistics professor, said he had used
the Internet for six years.
He said his primary concern using
the Internet was the reliability of in
formation sources because anybody
can put out uncensored information.
Uden said that with more of the
general public using the Internet, the
system was sometimes abused. Since
the Internet was already in a state of
anarchy, he said, hacking and copy
right violations were common.
Hanukkah

rated a historic event in Jewish his
tory with festivities and family cel
ebrations.
Hanukkah has become a more
prominent holiday because it coin
cides with Christmas, she said, but
the two holidays share little more
than a season. Jews in the United
States do exchange small gifts,
though, which may be a Christmas
influence, she said.
“We don’t adopt any of the trap
pings of Christmas. We don’t have a
Hanukkah tree, and we don’t deco
rate our house with Christmas lights,”
she said. “We have special Hanukkah
decorations for that.”
Rabbi Stanley Rosenbaum, from
the Tiserth Israel Synagogue on 3219
Sheridan St., said Hanukkah repre
sented the rebellion and the outbreak
of a Jewish civil war.
He said the holiday represented
the human love for freedom and re
spect for those who fight for freedom.
Hanukkah also stresses pluralism
and being sensitive to minority needs,
he said, and learning how to work
with different cultures instead of re
sorting to violence.
