Students react to new gun rule By John Fulwider Staff Reporter Some gun-owning UNL students do not approve of the campus gun storage policy passed Saturday by the NU Board of Regents. “That was the stupidest thing they’ve ever done,” said Brian Coulter, a senior agricultural engineering ma jor and president of the UNL Rifle Club, a target-shooting club at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The new policy requires students who live on campus to store their guns at the UNL Police Department. Coulter lives in an apartment now but used to live in the residence halls. He said the gun storage facilities were inadequate and not secure when he lived on campus. “They were safer under our bed than in that locker they gave us,” he said. Seth Stoddard, an undeclared fresh man, also disagreed with the policy, but for different reasons. Stoddard, who lives on campus, said it was a matter of convenience. Although he would have no prob lem storing his guns at the UNL Pol ice Department, Stoddard said, he would rather have the right to store them in his room. But he doesn’t have to worry about the inconvenience. Stoddard stores his guns in his hometown of Wilbur. Brian Allen, a graduate student in manufacturing systems engineering, said the policy would not have much effect on those who used a gun for criminal purposes. Criminals don’t follow rules and regulations anyway, he said. - “It won’t do anything except in convenience law-abiding gun owners,” Allen said. Even then, the policy may end up affecting few people. Doug Zatechka, the former uni versity housing director, said the highest number of guns registered and stored on campus during the past two years was 33. The lowest number was four. Zatechka said he thought students would comply with the policy. The students he has worked with tend to be reasonable and willing to follow regu lations, he said. as®*1 LUNCH AND DINNER SPECIALS EVERY DAY MONDAY - FRIDAY "Zapata" MariadiiBand Saturday April 15 th* 6pjn.9pjn. also appearing May 5th far "CSnco De Mayo” Happy Hour Monday thru thursday 4-7p.UL S1.00 off all MSxed Drinks, Beer Margaritas and homemade Pina Colada "Mazatlan Madness" 1/2 Priced Margarita and Homemade Pina Coladas Span, to dose evay Wednesday BRING IN THIS AD AND RECEIVE $2 OFF HOUSE SPECIALS FREE T- SHIRTS A HATS TO ANYONE WITH $50 MINIMUM PURCHASE MEXICAN wmarnm 211N 70th • Lincoln • 4647201 HOURS • MooThms 11-10 • Ri & SatU-11 • Suni-y 11-9 As you plan your summei class schedule fade a cwde mm at Southeast Community College SCC-Beatrice and SCC-Lincoln are offering 100 and 200 level classes during their summer sessions which will transfer to UN-L and other four-year institutions.
