Chancellor James Moeser will pre
view UNL’s new alma mater at
tonight’s meeting of the Association of
the Students of die University of Ne
braska.
Moeser will play a tape of the new
school anthem — minus the lyrics —
for the senators. The song will be per
formed for the public on Oct. 12, dur
ing halftime of the homecoming foot
ball game against Baylor.
The alma mater will add to the
strong tradition at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln and create a “braid
between all the graduates of the uni
versity,” ASUN President Eric
Marintzer said.
ASUN also will vote on the ap
pointment of a new senator for the
graduate college. The status of the Law
College senate position has not been
determined yet, Marintzer said.
ASUN also will select members fra
various committees, he said. These are
positions that open annually fra ASUN
committees and usually are filled dur
ing the fall semester. Many of the mem
bers will be voted on fra approval at
tonight’s senate meeting* the remain
der will be voted on next week.
The senate also will vote on ap
proval of the Committee for Fees Al
location bylaws. CFA’s first meeting
was Tuesday.
Several student organizations are
up for official recognition at the meet
ing. All student groups must be recog
nized by A SUN to have full access to
university facilities, Marintzer said.
The homecoming committee will
also give a status report.
Web workshop aids in job search
SEARCH from page 1
students can search by entering the
name of a company and city.
“It will give students information
about the company and even draw a
map for students, showing them how
to get to the company,” Mann said.
The second site, The Salary Calcu
lator, is found at <http://
www.homefair.com/homefair/cmr/
salcal Jitml>. It provides student who
are considering a job in another city
the ability to compare the cost of liv
ing, salaries, cost of moving and other
economic factors.
Mann said most students who at
tended the workshop preferred to stay
long after the workshop ended.
“They usually get caught up in all
possibilities and surf the web until five,
when we close,” Mann said.
The possibilities include posting a
resume on the UNL Career Services
web page where companies can then
view it, Mann said.
While students have had success
with the workshop* Mann said, the
number of computers in the UNL Ca
reer Services computer lab was begin
ning to become a concern.
The center will try to make more
room for computers, she said, and
wants to offer the service to everyone.

Sigerson wants board
to tune in to students
SIGERSON from page 1
UNL, said the regents should force
administrators to justify increasing
costs.
Students need to have more in
fluence cm the regents, too, and re
gents don’t even know what student
issues are, he said.
“Some of the regents are out of
touch,” Sigerson said.
Sigerson said he would make
sure a student voice would always
be present at regents ’ meetings.
“Some regents would feel bet
ter with no student regents,” he said.
“That would be a serious mistake.”
If regents would listen to stu
dents, Sigerson said, they would
hear complaints that students aren’t
getting proper training for the real
world. He said regents should be
working to change that.
Faculty should be encouraged to
get out and work in the real world,
Sigerson said, so they can pass on
real-world skills.
“To waste your first year (out of
college) trying to learn those types
of things makes you less valuable,”
Sigerson said.
Good teachers, on the other1
hand, should be rewarded, he said.
Students critiques and evaluations
should have more impact on re
warding tenure, he said. He also said
teaching, not research, should be
highly valued.
Obriens credits
include N-roll
O’BRIEN from page 1
the engineering school in Omaha also
marked her accomplishments, she said.
The college was denied, but improve
ments were made to the shared engi
neering program.
“Everybody’s satisfied, and it’s on
target,” she said.
Other issues that have arisen dur
ing O’Brien’s term have not left every
one satisfied. Sigerson has said
O’Brien took advantage of access to
bowl game tickets last year.
“The people I got the tickets for
gave thousands, even millions, of dol
lars to the university,” she said. “I did
the right thing.”
“The fact is, those people the tick
ets went to are friends of the univer
sity,” she said. “That’s what a regent is
all about, trying to foster relationships
with those who give to the university.”
A look at crime on campus and in the community
Robbery
A 45-year-old man was robbed
at gunpoint and punched at his south
Lincoln apartment Monday night.
At 10:30 pm, Gerald Sewell
walked upstairs to his apartment on
the 4400 block of south 48th Street
and found a man waiting at his door,
Lincoln police Sgt. Terry Sherrill
said.
After a brief conversation with
the man, Sewell told him to leave,
Sherrill said.
Another, taller man appeared
from a nearby staircase and alleg
edly brandished a handgun and de
manded money from Sewell,
Sherrill said. The man at the door
also held a gun on Sewell, Sherrill
said.
After Sewell gave them cash
from his wallet, they told him to
open his apartment and get more
money, Sherrill said.
After searching the apartment,
Sewell told them die money in his
wallet was all the money he had,
Sherrill said.
One of them punched Sewell in
the face before the two fled, Sherrill
said.
Sewell described both men as
white. One was between 5 feet 8
inches and 6 feet tall and heavy. He
was wearing a pull-over, short
sleeved shirt and blue jeans.
The other was at least 6 feet tall,
weighing 160 to 180 pounds, with
brown or black hair. He was wear
ing a colored shirt and blue jeans.
A homeless man was attacked
Sunday night by another man wield
ing a baseball bat at the People’s
City Mission.
Raul Antonio Ramirez was talk
ing to four other men on the west
side of the building on North First
Street at about 1:13 a.m., Sherrill
said.
They started arguing and one
man went to a nearby car and re
trieved a baseball bat, Sherrill said.
He allegedly hit Ramirez several
times about the head and chest area,
Sherrill said.
Ramirez was taken to Lincoln
General Hospital and treated fa- a
broken nose, broken rib and a cut
on the back of his head that required
staples, Sherrill said. He was then
taken to detoxification.
Police have identified a suspect
based on a vague description, but
have not yet made any arrests,
Sherrill said.
