Unabomber
Continued from Page 1
The search for the Unabomber —
who is thought to be responsible for
three deaths and 23 inj uries over nearly
18 years — appeared to have no con
nection to the standoff between fed
eral agents and the anti-government
separatists known as Freemen near the
town of Jordan, 350 miles to the east.
Butch Gehring, a neighbor, said the
cabin being searched was the home of
a Ted Kaczynski, described as being a
resident since 1971.
“He was real shy, real quiet. His
conversations were short,M he said.
“We like the looks of this guy as
the Unabomber, but we don’t have
make-or-break evidence yet,*’ one fed
eral law enforcement official told The
Associated Press. “We have some writ
ings that match up, but we don’t have
his tools yet. We want the irrefutable
mother lode of evidence.”
Rick Smith, who retired on Friday
from the FBI in San Francisco, head
quarters of the Unabom task force, said
the force had six good suspects in re
cent months, and all but one of them
appeared less suspicious as the inves
tigation continued.
“In this particular instance, the fur
ther we went along the more likely it
was that he was a viable suspect. So I
think the FBI’s fairly certain they have
the right man,” he said.
Theodore J. Kaczynski was born
May 22, 1942, in Chicago. After fin
ishing high school in three years, he
attended Harvard University, graduat
ing in 1962 when he was barely 20.
Crash
Continued from Page 1
But residents in Velji Dol said
Brown’s plane crashed during one
of the worst storms in decades.
The head of Croatia’s civilian air
traffic control, Miljenko Radic, told
Croatian state TV that the plane had
been cleared to land at Dubrovnik
airport. It approached “left of the
usual route,” he said. “It should not
have been there.”
Radic said it went off radar
screens at a height of 800 yards.
Helicopters searching for
Brown’s plane turned around in
heavy fog, but more than 100 spe
cial Croatian police managed to
reach the hill, known locally as
Svcti Ivan, or St. John.
Maj. Bryan Holt of U.S. Euro
pean Command in Stuttgart, Ger
many, said a U.S. scarch-and-res
cuc team was at the scene, about an
hour’s walk from the village.
Ivo Djuricic, 53, was on the hill
behind his house when he heard the
plane overhead. “It was very
strange to hear it,” he said, “because
planes never fly above here.”
He climbed up the hill until he
saw the plane was “in large pieces,
loosely together.” Then he ran back,
jumped in his car and raced to the
village to call police.
Brown’s aircraft disappeared
from radar screens at 2:52 p.m.
(7:52 a.m. EST) between the tiny
island of Kalamota, a few miles
southwest of Dubrovnik, and the
Cilipi airport, Croatian security
sources said. Visibility in the area
was no more than 100 yards, they
said.
The plane was a T-43 — the
military version of a Boeing 737.
According to the Air Force public
affairs office, it was the same plane
used earlier this week in Bosnia by
Defense Secretary William Perry
and for the recent trip to the Balkans
by First Lady Hillary Rodham
Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea.
The 23-ycar-old plane was last
inspected and cleared for service in
June 1995 at Ramstein Air Base,
Germany.
Officials said the plane’s path
took it over Zupski Bay, and it ap
parently crashed into the hill as it
crossed over land on the south side
of the bay. The airport, 10 miles
from Dubrovnik, lies just over the
hill.
The airport is situated in moun
tainous terrain about three miles
inland from the Adriatic Sea. Planes
usually approach it from over the
water to avoid the mountains in
land, but the approach from the sea
is tricky as well. Planes encounter
hills 300 to 600 feet high before a
quick descent to the sole two-mile
long runway.
Croatian President Franjo
Tudjman announced a top-level
commission of inquiry into the
plane crash and cabled President
Clinton that he was “deeply
shocked” by the news.
“Mr. President, I and the entire
Croatian nation are feeling our
deepest sympathies in this moment
of pain,” Tudjman said. The text of
the cable was read on Croatian state
television.

Hall students can vote
for RHA officers today
By Heidi White
Staff Reporter
Students living in UNL residence
halls have a chance for their voices to
be heard today in the elections for of
ficers of the Residence Hall Associa
tion.
Jason Harb, presidential candidate
for the FOCUSED party, is a sopho
more agricultural education major. He
took over as vice president of RHA
after president Philip Cilliers left the
? University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Then-vice president Eric Vandcr
Woudc took over as president in De
cember.
Harb said he was running for RHA
president because he wanted to make
a difference in students’ lives.
“People need to focus on some is
sues at UNL, and my main goal is to
keep the residents informed,” Harb
said.
Running for vice president from the
FOCUSED party is Alan Nietfcldt, a
junior agricultural business major. He
was president of Burr Hall this year.
Nietfcldt said he would like people
to become more of a part of the resi
dence halls.
“If people enjoy the experience
more, then I think they’ll be more
i —■ ---
likely to stay in school,” Nietfeldt said.
A main goal of the FOCUSED can
didates is establishing more of a com
munity and breaking down stereotypes
between East and City campuses, Harb
said.
Jennifer Griffin, a sophomore pre
med major, is running for president on
the PROGRESS ticket. She served this
year as president of Neihardt Hall and
has been chairwoman of the Residen
tial Enhancement committee for the
last two years.
Her vice-presidential running mate
is Michael Valerien, a senior philoso
phy, political science and psychology
major. He started out the year as a sena
tor for Pound Hall and speaker of the
senate, but resigned because of sched
uling conflicts.
Griffin said she saw a lot of changes
RHA could make to serve students in
the residence halls.
“RHA can be a real resource for
students,” Griffin said.
Valerien would like to make the
structure of hall government more ef
ficient, with stronger ties between the
complexes and RHA.
Griffin said the main goal of the
PROGRESS party was to address both
policy and facility issues within the
residence halls.
