Regents to approve Moeser
By Paula Lavigne
Senior Reporter
A minor addition to the NU Board
of Regents’ December agenda will
make a major change at the Univer
- sity of Nebraska
NU Regents M^ay, .he
board is sched
uled to' approve
the appointment
of James Moeser,
56, as the 18th
chancellor of
UNL.
Moeser, provost
and vice president
for academic affairs at the University
of South Carolina, was in Lincoln
when NU President Dennis Smith an
nounced his recommendation Mon
day.
He returned Tuesday to Columbia,
S.C., and will not attend the Saturday
meeting.
The regents’ approval is just a for
mality, and Regents Chairwoman
Nancy O’Brien of Waterloo said the
approval should pass without any
problems.
The regents met each of the three
candidates at informal dinners and
brunches during their campus visits
late November.
Upon Smith’s announcement, sev
eral of the regents and UNL Student
Regent Shawntell Hurtgen said they
would support Moeser and looked for
ward to working with him.
Interim Chancellor Joan Leitzel
will be present on behalf of UNL at
the meeting. Moeser does not take
over until Feb. 1.
The board is scheduled to act on
other issues, including the elimination
of seven UNL degrees in the Teachers
College.
These degrees are:
• Art education, bachelor of fine
arts education.—Theater arts educa
tion, bachelor of fine arts education.
•Athletic training, bachelor of sci
ence education.
• Recreation, bachelor of science
education.
• Elementary education, bachelor
of arts. o
• Administrative office manage
ment, bachelor of science education.
• Health occupation, bachelor of
science education.
The degrees are being eliminated
after a 1994 review by the Coordinat
ing Commission for Postsecondary
Education.
In cases such as elementary edu
cation, elimination of a certain degree
does not mean elimination of a major.
Fewer than 10 students were en
rolled in many of the programs, which
were slowly phased out so the remain
ing students could still graduate, said
David Brinkerhoff, associate vice
chancellor for academic affairs.
Future students interested in the
eliminated programs may be able to
find similar options in other areas, he
said.
Other scheduled UNL issues the
board will act on include:
• Officially appointing Melvin
Jones as vice chancellor for business
and finance with a $140,000 a year
salary.
• Approving acquisition of single
family residence in the Malone neigh
borhood for $38,500.
• Approving budget for replace
ment of two boilers at the City Cam
pus utility plant and approving Farris
Engineering firm to design the project.
• Approving budget for East Sta
dium repair and waterproofing.
• Approving firm of E & A Con
sulting Group to design service for the
State Capitol Steam Line improve
ments plan.
• Approving Dorothy E. Leland
Memorial Fund as a quasi-endowment
fund with income going to the Sheldon
Memorial Art Gallery.
• Reviewing report for University
of Nebraska operating budget of $ 1.1
billion as of Sept. 30.
Psychiatrist testifies for defense
By Ted Taylor
Staff Reporter
Severe depression and suicidal ten
dencies kept Gerald Schlondorf from
knowing right from wrong on Sept.
I-12, 1994, a Lin
coin psychiatrist
told jurors Thurs
day.
Dr. Lewis Mar
tin, the Chief of
Service for the
state’s Forensic
Psychiatric Ser
'' ’JIP Vices, was the
•-*- only defense wit
Schlondorf ness to take the
stand Thursday, the eighth day of
Schlondorf’s attempted second-de
gree murder trial.
Martin said he met Schlondorf in
1991, as one of the psychiatrists who
evaluated him at the Lincoln Regional
Center after a failed suicide attempt.
Martin said the meeting, along with
three others after the September 1994
shooting of UNL police officer Rob
ert Soflin, allowed him to construct a
psychological history of Schlondorf.
Martin testified that as soon as
Schlondorf graduated from high
school in 1984, he started to feel more
depressed and unhappy.
“He was dissatisfied with what he
was doing,” Martin said.
Martin said the depression escalated
when Schlondorf came to UNL. Al
though Schlondorf attended six coun
seling sessions at the University Health
Center, he did not benefit from them,
Martin said.
Martin eventually diagnosed
Schlondorf with having a recurrent
major depression disorder.
The doctor specifically mentioned
Schlondorf’s writings, repeated hospi
talizations, documents from those hos
pitalizations and Schlondorf’s peculiar
relationship with the police depart
ment.
He said the three hospitalizations
and the events in the residence halls
gave a clear history of recurring de
pression.
Martin also called Schlondorf’s
viewing of the movie “Natural Bom
Killers” just days before the shooting,
“a trigger that reactivated ongoing feel
ings Jerry had manifested about his
helplessness, futility and meaningless
of life.”
At the time of the shooting, Martin
said, Schlondorf’s vision of things
were so narrow, he did not know what
he was doing was wrong.
“His knowledge was seriously im
paired because of the depressive dis
order,” he said.
However, Chief Deputy Lancaster
County Attorney John Colbom said
he believed Schlondorf’s immediate
actions Sept. 12, indicated he was
aware of right and wrong.
Colbom questioned Martin as to
why Schlondorf got in his truck and
drove away from police when lie was
supposedly suicidal.
“He did things to avoid the police,
and avoid being shot,” Colbom said.
“It seems he could have ended his life
at any time that day.”
Martin conceded Colbom’s point.
“He obviously knew what he was
doing was wrong,” Martin said. “In a
sense that he knew shooting at po
lice officers was wrong. He knew he
wasn’t passing out hot dogs at the car
nival.”
According to Colbom, Schlondorf
not only knew his actions were
wrong, but were punishable.
Colbom continued his cross-ex
amination by citing a discrepancy be
tween Martin’s testimony and a No
vember 1995 police deposition.
In the deposition, Martin had said
Schlondorf “knew the wrongfulness
of his acts because he expected the
police to react.”

Local cardiologist Wilson,
running for regents seat
By Paula Lavigne
Senior Reporter
A Lincoln cardiologist is going to
make his second bid for a seat on the
NU Board of Regents.
Charles Wilson, 57, announced
Thursday that he was running for re
election to the eight-member board.
He was first elected in 1990 to rep
resent Lincoln and Lancaster County.
Regents serve a six-year term.
Wilson has been a spokesman for
several board issues, including open
meetings, a strategic agenda and
higher admission standards.
“My commitment to pursue excel
lence in teaching and research at the
University of Nebraska is as strong as
ever,” he said in a statement released
Thursday.
“We have moved toward that goal,
but much remains to be done. I am
seeking re-election to solidify the
gains we have made and to work for
continued improvements in our uni
versity.”
In recent issues, Wilson has been:
• Against creating a separate engi
neering college in Omaha.
• Against defining limits on re
search.
• For using student-approved stu
dent fees for the Nebraska Union ex
pansion.
• Against a board of governor-ap
pointed regents.
• For raising admission standards.
• Against providing financial in
centives to coaches to win games, say
ing pay should be based on merit not
wins.
• Against differential tuition,
which would charge every student
based on his or her field of study.
• For a stronger core curriculum
to expose students to courses in math
ematics, science and humanities and
writing skills.
His work with Regent Drew Miller
of Papillion on defining the three roles
of a land-grant university—teaching,
research and outreach — ended in the
declaration of teaching as the
university’s No. 1 priority.
Wilson is a graduate of Lincoln
High School and the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln. He and his wife,
Linda, have three children.
