The short and long term goats
were being addressed with minimal
cost to taxpayers, Liberty said. He
said he couldn't have thought of bet
ter recommendations himself.
“If the resources are there, we are
well on our way to a much improved
situation,” Liberty said. “I hope ev
eryone will be able to support those
recommendations and pull together
in putting these together.”
Andrew Loudon, University of Ne^
braska-Lincoln student regent, said
the only guarantee to come from
Smith’s recommendation was that
Omaha interests would be very vocal
at today’s regents meetings.
“This is not a victory for UNL,”
he said. “It is a victory for the whole
cvclpm
In the 12-page document, Smith
outlined his recommendations for
$4.9 million — $3.4 million of which
would be one-time expenditures —
in increased spending for engineer
ing education. They were as follows:
• The expansion of masters pro
grams and continuing education, es
pecially in Omaha; expansion of elec
trical, computer, mechanical and civil
engineering; and expansion of exten
sion services with Nebraska engi
neers. Annual cost: $420,000.
• Establishment of scholarship
and marketing programs to attract
high school students; enhancement of
undergraduate education; and the es
tablishment of two-year pre-engineer
ing programs at selected schools.
Annual cost: $864,000.
• Repair of facilities at both UNO
and UNL. The recommendation calls
for the completion of a $2.2 million
construction project in Lincoln. A
plan also would be started for a new
engineering facility at UNO and up
grading instructional equipment. Ini
tial cost: $3.35 million. Annual cost:
$250,000.
• Establishment of a statewide
Engineering and Technology Coor
dinating Board. Smith said the board
members would serve as adv isors to
administrators and advocates for en
gineering education at the legislature.
Annual cost: $10,000.
Regents may
offer bonuses
to coaches
ftwIUff Wtpofti
Contrary to popular opinion,
engineering is not the only item
on the agenda for the NU Board
of Regents’ Saturday meeting.
The regents will consider the
approval of contract changes
that would grant bonuses to
three University of Nebraska
Lincoln coaches if their teams
do well.
Under the contract changes,
Angela Beck, head women’s
basketball coach, would receive
a $1,600 raise to her $63,000
salary for every 500 more
people that pay to sec her team
play. The average attendance
for the 1993-94 season was 441.
Beck and Danny Nee, the
head men’s basketball coach,
both could profit if their teams
make the NCAA basketball
tournaments. The coaches could
get a bonus of one-12lh of their
salaries if they make the tour
nament and one-sixth if they
make the Final Four. Nee's base
salary is $106,842.
Tom Osborne, head football
coach, would receive the one
sixth bonus for qualifying for
the Orange, Sugar or Fiesta
Bowls. He would receive the
one-12th bonus for qualifying
for any other bowls. Osborne
makes $127,858 annually.
Nee, Beck and Osborne all
could receive a $50,000 bonus
for winning the national cham
pionship.
Smith said he had asked that the
dean of the engineering college in
Lincoln and the associate dean of the
college, who administrates the
Omaha program, be part of the com
mission. He said he had also asked
that Omaha administrators be repre
sented when the dean of the college
is up for review.

the Legislature,” Loudon said. “We're
here to help them (administrators);
we’re not here to take marching or
ders from them.
‘Tuition is foremost on my mind.
He said he would make it clear to stale
senators that students would be the
ones who would sufiTcr under a bud
get cut. People don't want their taxes
to rise. Students don’t want their tu
ition taxes raised.”
Loudon said another fulfilled plat
form promise was his ability to keep
ASUN’s budget lean. The budget in
crease will be limited to l percent for
cost-of-living adjustments.
Loudon said he issued the same
challenge to all student-fee users, in
cluding the University Health Cen
ter, the Nebraska Unions, the Univer
sity Program Council and the Daily
Nebraskan.
Of his campaign promises,
Loudon said, only five items have
been abandoned, and of those, three
have been addressed by other univer
sity organizations.
The university has added police
patrols to parking lots, expanded the
shuttle bus service and increased the
number of bike racks, he said.

Bartle urged the community to be
patient and wait for trial. In releas
ing the report, Bartle said he hoped
to alleviate tensions and what he per
ceived to be a misunderstanding and
polarization within the community.
“I hope this caSe is not confused
with cases such as Rodney King,”
Bartle said. “This is not a case of
some kind of malicious police beat
ing. I think this report helps us to
understand that.”
Bartle said the autopsy revealed no
evidence of injury or strikes to
Renteria’s groin area. It has been re
ported that some witnesses saw po
lice kick Renteria several times in the
groin.
The report found Renteria had su
perficial abrasions and hemorrhages
to the head, and a bruised tongue.
Bruises, some labeled extensive, and
hemorrhages were also found on the
neck. There was no injury to the tra
chea directly resulting from police
contact.
Other injuries included scratches
and bruises to Renteria’s midsection,
arms, hands and legs. He eventually
suffered seizures and died from lack
of oxygen to the brain.
Bartle would not comment on
whether such injuries could have been
suffered assuming police had fol
lowed all proper procedures.
Ceclia Huerta, director of the
Mexican-American Commission,
“/ hope this case is not
confused with cases such
as Rodney King. ”

ROBERT BARTLE
Special prosecutor
said after the press conference that
she was concerned about the death
being labeled an accident. She said
Bartle’s statements appeared to sup
port the classification.
Everyone in the state has been af
fected in some way by Renteria's
death, Huerta said. And getting a fair
trial in the spring, she said, will be
difficult.
