Schlondorf

times.
Former UNL student Scott
Clifford also testified Wednesday
morning. Clifford said he let
Schlondorf crash on his couch on
the night they met drinking at a bar.
Later that night, Clifford said,
Schlondorf entered his room, agi
tated and distressed, saying, “I’m
mentally ill,” and that he needed
help.
Clifford agreed to take
Schlondorf to the University
Health Center. Peg Blake, Univer
sity Health Center director,
complemented Clifford’s testi
mony with the medical records
from that night.
Blake read from records that re
counted what Schlondorf told a re
ceptionist that night.
“I want to die. I just want to feel
the pain,” Blake read to the jury.
Tony Lindquist, who worked in
Neihardt Residence Hall in fall
1992, told the court about a Sept.
25, 1992, incident in which an in
toxicated Schlondorf threatened to
kill himself in order to make his
family and acquaintances “feel the
pain” he felt.
Lindquist said he talked to
Schlondorf for about an hour that
night. Schlondorf said he wanted
to commit suicide because he was
being pressured by his father to
return to the family farm.
During the conversation,
Lindquist said, Schlondorf took a
knife from his closet and waved it
around. Lindquist asked if he.could
have the knife, and Schlondorf
gave it to him. He also gave
Lindquist a “rather large” pocket
knife he had in his pocket,
Lindquist said.
After Lindquist had reported the
incident to the Neihardt residence
director, he returned to
Schlondorf’s room. He found
Schlondorf lying on his bed, eyes
closed and unresponsive.
An emergency team arrived,
Lindquist said, and tried to get
Schlondorf to respond. After some
time, he said, Schlondorf opened
his eyes and smiled.
Greg Meyer, a Lancaster
County Corrections department
officer, works in the jail where
Schlondorf is being held.
Meyer testified about an Oct.
10, 1994, incident in which
Schlondorf cut his left wrist with a
blade he had removed from a dis
posable razor.
Chris Eskridge, a criminal jus
tice professor, had Schlondorf in
three classes and has visited him
in jail.
Deputy County Attorney Joe
Kelly asked Eskridge about
Schlondorf s demeanor on his most
recent visit in May.
When questioned by the de
fense, Lindquist said Schlondorf
was a slow student who frequently
asked him to repeat information in
class. Schlondorf would sometimes
come to two sections of class and
listen to the same lecture twice,
Eskridge said.
“I wish all my students were as
determined and hard-working.”

An Old Fashioned Irish Wake for
Greek contest lights up
children’s faces, houses
By Jenny House
Staff Reporter
A holiday contest lit up Greek
houses and raised money for needy
children.
For the “Winter Lights for Kids
Contest,” sponsored by Sigma Nu
Fraternity, Greek organizations com
peted in two categories: best house
decoration and raising money, toys,
books and clothing for the Child Sav
ing Institute.
Jeff Barclay, Sigma Nu philan
thropy chairman and contest orga
nizer, said each participating house
paid a $50 entry fee.
“From the 18 Greek houses that
participated, we raised over $800”
Barclay said.
Jayne Wade Anderson, Greek Af
fairs director, and Mary Ann Holland,
Greek Affairs staff secretary, chose
the winners Monday night.
Alpha Xi Delta Sorority won the
$200 first prize, Kappa Sigma Fra
ternity won the $50 second prize, and
Beta Theta Pi Fraternity won the $50
third prize.
Anderson said she thought all par
ticipating houses looked great and
that the decorations “add a festive air
to the campus.”
Sigma Nu also will award an ad
ditional $50 to the fraternity or so
rority that collects the most donations.
Julie Boeshart, Alpha Xi Delta
philanthropy chairwoman, said it
took them roughly three to four days
to decorate.
“Nearly 40 to 50 members, alumni
and family members helped by do
nating lights or putting them up,” she
said.
Although they did not enter their
own contest, a core group of 10 Sigma
Nu members spent a solid two days
lighting the house.
