Student senate
works out bugs
of last meeting
By Kasey Kerber
Staff Reporter
Technical problems consumed
much of ASUN’s 29-minute meeting
Wednesday night. But a last-minute
push to organize a booth for Party
Smart was the main concern.
Problems at the weekly meeting
included sending back the minutes
because of typing mistakes and hold
ing a bill because of procedural er
rors.
The meeting began with a discus
sion of errors in last week’s minutes,
ranging from misspelled names to
the improper labeling of a bill.
Toward the meeting’s conclusion
a bill that recognized three student
organizations was sent back to the
committee. x
Yanken spearheaded an effort to
construct a booth for Party Smart
festivities on Sept. 28.
Just beating the deadline, Yanken
managed to gather enough senators
to work on organizing, constructing
and manning the booth.
Also discussed at the meeting was
Sunday’s memorial service for
Martina McMenamin, a student who
was slain in her apartment this sum
mer. ASUN President Shawntell
Hurtgen asked senators to inform the
student body of the event.

place to secure.”
Casady said police records showed
three mental health- related contacts
with Schinzel since 1989. As of
Wednesday night, Schinzel had given
no explanation for the morning inci
dent, he said.
Paul Vasquez, who lives in
Schinzel’s complex, said he had
worked with Schinzel at Reimers
Kaufman Concrete Products Co. for
several years.
Vasquez said Schinzel had been
released from Lincoln General Hos
pital a few days ago.
“It seemed like he was very de
pressed,” he said.
When the shooting from Schinzel’s
apartment started, many neighbors
said they didn’t know what to think.
Ruth Singletary of Hutchinson,
Kan., was in town visiting a friend.
She heard “popping sounds” coming
from Schinzel’s apartment next door,
she said, but others convinced her the
noise was construction workers, that
the man in apartment 308 had been
gone for several days.
Singletary left and walked across
the parking lot to her car as the gun
man fired overhead. When she re
turned, she said, police were every
where.
Haumont, who was m the NMCA
building across from the apartment,
said he saw the gunman walk to the
window before police ordered every
one into the office basement. The
man raised a rifle and fired three
shots, he said.
After firing the rifle, the man put
the gun down, took a sip from what
appeared to be a coffee mug and
walked away from the window,
Haumont said.
An hour after the incident, police
officers, reporters and cameramen
were still talking to witnesses. Chalk
drawn circles made unique patterns
on the concrete parking lot. Numbers
— as high as 28 — were assigned to
each place where a bullet fell.
Five circles marked the brick wall
outside the southwest comer of die
NMCA building. Nance Kirk, whose
office is in the southwest comer, was
walking through the parking lot as
the gunman sat in his window.
She, too, was unaware of the dan
ger.
“He wasn’t a very good shot, thank
goodness,” Kirk said. “I think he just
wanted to shoot his gun.”
A message on Kirk’s office door
seemed appropriate for the Wednes
day morning incident: “Out of confu
sion comes chaos. Out of chaos comes
anarchy and fear. Then comes lunch.”

Students eventually will be able to
bring computers to class, he said,
plug into the university network and
share data with other classmates or
access the World Wide Web and the
Internet.
Although students have had ac
cess to databases for a couple years,
O’Leary said, the real difference is
having the connections to allow stu
dents to bring computers to class.
“In the next 10 years, we will be
doing a lot of new things,” he said.
“Classes will not be just in lecture
form.”
The new innovations impress stu
dents who are taking courses in the
Beadle Center.
Scott Pinkerton, a junior biochem
istry major, said he appreciated the
new technology because some pro
grams, such as architecture, already
required students to purchase their
own computers.
“I think it’s great because it’s be
coming more common to have this
kind of technology,” he said. “It
makes sense to plan for the future.”
Jon Rathe, a first-year graduate
student in biochemistry, agreed.

potential candidates, Sellmyer said.
“We’re looking for a variety of
things like academic scholarship
qualifications, management quali
fications, experience in the acad
emy, leadership in the academy,”
he said. “The standard sorts of
things.”
Rowson said for Smith to fill
the position by early 1996, a list of
finalists must reach his desk within
the next month. Smith will then
decide which candidates to invite
to UNL for a personal interview,
he said.
At this point, the candidates list
is confidential. Rowson said a list
of finalists would be released be
fore the new chancellor was named.
The list includes people who
submitted applications on their own
and those who were sought out by
the committee, Sellmyer said.
“There are a lot of qualified
people out there,” he said.
