Girl won’t reveal murderer Teen charged, jailed on $250,000 bond By Chad Lorenz Senior Reporter A girl charged Wednesday with in terfering with a police investigation was the third teenager taken into cus tody for questioning in last year’s kill ing of Michael Schmader, a deputy county attorney said. Michelle Hymer, 17, was charged with being an accessory to a felony and tampering with witnesses Wednesday in Lancaster County Court, Deputy Attorney John Colburn said. Hymer is being held on $250,000 bond. Police first questioned Hymer Monday, according to a court affida vit. She told police she knew who the murderer was but would not tell be cause she was not a snitch. She then told police she had in structed “the others” not to say any thing, according to the affidavit. Hymer was arrested Tuesday after police asked her if she had changed her mind about talking to them. She declined. Schmader’s body was found Dec. 23 buried near a creek bed close to South 48th Street and Normal Boule vard. Two boys digging a fort under a bridge there discovered the body, which had been beaten and stabbed. Schmader, who was 17, had been missing since Oct. 18. Two other teens were taken into custody last week for questioning, Colburn said. Shannon Lee, 19, was charged with being an accessory to a felony and Jesse Bullington, 18, was charged with theft by receiving stolen property. The charge against Lee mentions a connection to a murder investigation. An affidavit supplied by Lincoln po lice was used to prove probable cause, so Lee could be held until he was charged. The affidavit was ordered sealed by Lancaster County District Court Judge Jack Linder. The theft charge against Bullington, which was unrelated to the murder case, involved an auto theft from Park Place in late December. Colburn refused to elaborate on possible suspects in the case but said police were still questioning people. Therapists offer free massages By Erin Schulte Staff Reporter Feeling a bit tense? This week, some free relief may be in sight. In an effort to draw attention to its expanded massage services, the Cam pus Recreation Center will offer UNL students and faculty free massages in the Nebraska Union this week, said Brian Herbin, assistant director for injury prevention and care. “After people come in once, they’re gonna be hooked,” he said. Competitive prices and excellent services gave the Rec Center, with its new expanded schedule, an edge, Herbin said. Massages cost $ 15 for 25 minutes or $25 for 45 minutes, compared to an average of $35 for 30 minutes at other Lincoln therapists, he said. Response was tremendous to the massages offered on a trial basis in October, Herbin said. Although they were only offered two hours a day, many people rearranged their sched ules to get a massage. “Afterpeople come in once, they're gonna be hooked." BRIAN HERBIN Campus Recreation The Rec Center now offers the ser vice 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Joel Richardson, the center’s mas sage therapist, is a graduate student in exercise science and a licensed mas sage therapist. He received an associate’s degree in massage therapy from Nebraska Wesleyan University. Richardson has given sports mas sages for the track, swimming and div ing teams, but he said he hoped ath letes would not be the only ones to use his services. He said massages could correct physical problems and enhance ath letic performance. Herbin said privacy was an impor tant issue to people who get massages. Some therapists ask customers to dis robe and cover themselves with a towel. But Richardson said making sure the customer was comfortable was more important. If Richardson’s appointment schedule becomes full, Herbin said, the center would like to hire a female therapist so customers could choose a therapist of their own gender. The recreation center has set aside a private room with a compact disc player. “We’ll have a different ambiance than what other places have to offer,” Richardson said. Although it may not have the at mosphere of more luxurious offices, Herbin said, privacy, quiet surround ings and getting one’s money’s worth are more important. “You can’t touch our prices or the quality of our massage therapist,” Herbin said. ASUN to help City Mission By Kasey Kerber Staff Reporter ASUN, at its Wednesday night meeting, discussed a fund-raising project for the city mission and also recent budget recommendations. The 25-minute meeting was short, in anticipation of a longer meeting next week with Kim Todd, campus landscape architect. Todd will update the Association of Stu dents of the University of Nebraska on the progress of the Nebraska Union expansion that will displace Broyhill fountain. At Wednesday’s meeting, Cam pus Life Chairman Jason Bynum proposed a fund-raising effort for the Peoples City Mission. The proposal asks that senators sell personal message ads for a dol lar. The ads would appear as part of an 1 l-by-17 inch, double-sided “message flyer” to be sent to the purchaser and the person to whom the message was intended. Bynum stressed that if each senator sold seven ads, almost $375 could be raised. Also covered at the meeting was the recent Committee for Fees Allocation’s proposals for ASUN and the Daily Nebraskan. “I attended a three-hour meeting last night,” CFA chairman Malcolm Kass said. “You could say that this took a lot of time to finally finish.” The recommendations would increase ASUN’s$ 160,805 share of student fees by 5.14 percent. The Daily Nebraskan’s $41,153 allot ment would increase by 10 percent. Write angle. The Daily Nebraskan is now hiring staff ers for the spring semester.
