Bognich said she assumed it was
someone who saw her once in the
apartment or at work.
“We never got any strange phone
calls and there was no one looking at us
or watching our apartment,” she said.
The delays in solving the case are
understandable, she said; McMenamin
would have understood.
“She wouldn’t be upset,” Bognich
said. “She would understand that
people go on with their lives and not
everybody is going to worry about one
case.”
Although she thinks about her
friend every day, Bognich is trying to
get her life back to normal.
She took one class on campus and
two classes through independent study
this semester. She will return as a full
time student in the spring.
“It was the hardest at first,” she
said, “but now it’s gotten a lot better.”
And Bognich still got a Christmas
tree the day after Thanksgiving, she
said. Her boyfriend went along.
“The night before was the most
difficult,” she said, “but when I got
there and saw the tree, it reminded me
of the good things about Tina.
“It ended up being really good.”

Student architects go abroad
By John Futwider
Senior Reporter
A small group of UNL architec
ture students will be studying their
craft in Mexico and Canada next
fall, thanks to a grant from the Fund
for the Improvement of
Postsecondary Education.
Cecil Steward, dean of the Col
lege of Architecture, said four se
lected students will live in Mexico
or Canada for a semester — two in
each country.
They will learn the other
cultures’ approaches to architec
ture, he said, and become more
fluent in their language.
The grant helps each student with
the cost, so they will pay normal
UNL tuition, room and board costs.
The exchange program also will
bring Mexican and Canadian archi
tecture students to the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln, as part of the
NAFTA Architectural Education
Consortium.
“It’s a continuation of this
college’s strong emphasis on inter
national studies.”
The consortium, led by UNL,
consists of architecture programs
from Howard University, the Uni
versity of Toronto, the University
of Montreal in Canada, the
Uni versidad Nacional Autonoma de
Mexico and the Universidad
Nacional Autonoma de Neuvo Leon
in Mexico.
The consortium was formed to
make it easier for architects in the
United States, Mexico and Canada
to work on projects for clients in
other countries. Steward said regu
lations designed to protect in-coun
try architects have made it difficult
for foreign architects to work in
other countries.
“Any opportunity the profession
has to lower barriers to architects
being free to market their services
in other countries is good,” he said.
The process and time line for
selecting students is still being
planned, he said.
The first UNL students will head
to Canada and Mexico in the fall of
1996. The program will continue
for two years, he said, and its re
sults will be evaluated.

years probation on Jan. 25 in Lancaster
County District Court. He was charged
with first-degree assault July 30,1993,
but the charge was lowered to a misde
meanor on Nov. 22, 1994.
The senior from Hammonton, N. J.,
who is listed as a third-string defen
sive tackle on the depth chart, has seen
limited playing time in his four years
at Nebraska.
The Sperling family suggested the
cash settlement, Jenkins’ attorney Hal
Anderson pointed out Friday. Anderson
has represented the majority ofNebraska
football players who have had scrapes
with the law. He said Jenkins was “ma
ligned” by the broadcast.
“This was not a decision where
Jason went out and beat someone up,”
Anderson said Friday, criticizing the
national TV broadcast at an athletic
department news conference. “It was
left for everyone to speculate. It sure
seemed to me that ’48 Hours’ was not
explaining the whole story.”
Connie Sperling said their family
requested the $24,000 cash settlement
because their son was uninsured, and
his medical expenses were increasing.
“We had no idea how Jeremy would
pay for his medical bills. We didn’t
know how to handle things,” Connie
P——
Sperling said. “We knew that Jeremy
would end up having medical bills
even later. This will go on for the rest
of his life.”
Lancaster County Attorney Gary
Lacey said Jenkins’ charge was re
duced because Sperling would not
cooperate with prosecutors and was
difficult to locate.
“He made it clear to us that he had
some other negotiations going on with
his private lawyer and that receiving
restitution was more important to him
than the criminal case,” Lacey said.
Jeremy Sperling, who could not be
reached for comment, told “48 Hours”
that he wished the cash deal never
would have been made with Jenkins.
“I wish we would have sent him to
jail,” he told CBS.
Sperling attended Southeast Com
munity College in Milford, and works
for his father’s tree removal service in
Stromsburg. His mother said he has
had five operations since April 1993.
Jenkins, who graduated from UNL
in August, was ordered to pay the
restitution by Dec. 24, 1996. He also
was ordered to serve die last 60 days
of his probation in the Lancaster
County jail. His attorney said Jenkins
could not comment on the case, be
cause he remained on probation.
