Travis Heying/DN Rescue units were called to City Campus on Tuesday morning after a university employee lost his balance and fell out of a tree. John Keeling, a crewman with Landscape Services at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was trimming trees outside the College of Business Administration when he fell from the tree. Mike Franklin, who was working near Keeling when he fell, said Keeling was conscious and may have cracked a rib in the 6-foot fall. Keeling was taken to Lincoln General Hospital, treated and released. Unmarried partners may receive benefits By Julie Sobczyk Senior Reporter At its monthly meeting Tuesday, the Academic Senate examined a pro posal to give insurance benefits to the Academic Senate partners ot unmar ried faculty mem bers. Agnes Adams, chairwoman of the senate’s Employee Benefits Commit tee, introduced the idea of domestic partner benefits to the senate during her annual committee report. Domestic partners refers to indi viduals in an intimate, long-term, ex clusive, committed relationship simi lar to marriage, Adams said. PartncrsofUniversity of Nebraska Lincoln faculty would receive benefits such as health, dental, disability and life insurances, she said. Other universities, such as Stanford University and the University of Iowa, have such benefits, and the policies work for them, she said. Leo Sartori, professor of physics and astronomy, said the domestic part ner benefits were a good idea for UNL. “This is something we should do,” Sartori said. “It’s fair, and it’s been successful on other campuses.” Although the concept looks as if it could work at UNL, Adams said, some areas still needed to be worked out. One unclear area is how to end the benefits for a partner if a couple broke up, she said, because the couple would have no legal tics. The Academic Senate will vote on this concept at its April 5 meeting. From there, the proposal will move to the University-wide Fringe Benefits committee to be more fully defined and developed. In other business, the senate: • heard annual reports from the UNL Campus Police Committee and the Parking Advisory Committee. • approved a proposal to change the mail-in ballot structure for votes. Half of the new ballots will have one candidate listed first, and the other half would have his or her competitor listed. Concerns were raised about fair ness in random placement of names. • approved all names on the ballot for upcoming committee elections.

Forbes trailed everywhere and was focusing on the Thursday showdown AP in New York. “This has been a strange year,” said a top Forbes campaign strategist, former Sen. Gordon Humphrey. “Any thing can happen.” Dole officials disagreed. “It’s over,” said one of Dole’s lieu tenants, New York Sen. Alfonse D’Amato of New York. Dole was looking ahead. “We need to get the party together and aim at Clinton,” he told AP. “So far, the guy has had a free ride while we beat each other up but that is about to change.” Even EZ-er than 1040EZ.
