west wall of Walgreens, 13th and O
streets, he scoffed at the artists.
“We have to come Out and do this
once a week,” Leupold said Wednes
day afternoon. “The gangs stake out
their territories.”
, Leupold said his painting com
pany has scrubbed graffiti from marble
walls and sand-blasted paint from
stone walls for years.
“This long weekend brought this
on,” he said. “These kids are active at
2 o’clock in the morning.”
Police believe more than one group
is responsible for the vandalism. Com
petition between taggers increases the
graffiti, Bashus said.
The graffiti also has reached the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln City
Campus. Black,-spray-painted words
have been found behind the Temple
Theatre, said UNL Police Sgt. Bill
Manning.
The recent graffiti reminds police
of “Beergut,” which was painted
throughout campus and the city two
years ago. That vandal was never ap
prehended, Bashus said.
The characteristics of the vandal
ism trend lead police to believe the
artists are not taggers in the big-city
sense of the word.
“True taggers on the East Coast
like to put it as high as they can,”
Bashus said. “If we would have an
East Coast tagger, they would look at
the Sower and try to find a way to put
it up there.” '
But so far, he said, vandalism has
not been reported on the top of the
Nebraska State Capitol.

and we were very pleased,” he said.
“But the honeymoon was over
quickly and and now sales of Win
dows 95 are down to the level of all
the other software.”
Some problems with the new
program are unique to* each user’s
computer.
“When we installed it
on our computer it
didn’t work, so I tried
to uninstall it with the
disks they give you to
- do that. It crashed my

Windows 95 user
Chris Wiig of Omaha said Win
dows 95 had been nothing but a
nightmare.
“I told my dad not to buy it until,
the next version came out, but he
did anyway,” Wiig said. “When we
installed it on our computer it didn’t
work, so I tried to uninstall it with
the disks they give you to do that.

Microsoft’s new Windows 95 is on display at Nebraska Bookstore. Tannakinnaman/DN
shine through.
, The operating system is avail
able in two versions — one for
current Windows users who need
to upgrade and one for new Win
dows users. The upgrade kit costs
about $90 and a starter kit retails
around $170.
Some of the major features in
clude Plug and Play capability,
Macintosh-like desktop perfor
mance, improved memory manage
ment and Microsoft Network Ac
cess. .
The Plug and Play feature makes
it easier for PC users to add equip
ment such as modems and disk
drives.
Windows 95 might give PCs a
friendlier image. The program pro
vides many features that in the past
were only available to Macintosh
users.
Another treat for users.troubled
by annoying memory errors with
their old Windows versions is the
new version’s ability to use every
scrap of available memory to run an
application.
“It can even take the memory
Windows 95 itself uses and let an
application have it,” Anderson said.
An advantage of having more
memory is the ability to multi-task,
or to have more than one applica
tion visible at the same time.
In the past, that has been an
option only available on a
Macintosh system. Anderson-said
the more.memory a PC has, the
more applications it will be able to
multi-task with Windows 95.
