After a decade of service, Miller will return to teaching, finismng door
By Erin Schulte
Senior Reporter
Tice Miller will retire as chairman of the De
partment of Theatre Arts and Dance next se
mester and take on the duties of a full profes
sor.
Miller, who decided to step down last week,
has served as chairman for 10 years, and he said
that is enough.
| ‘I’m exhausted,” he said. ‘1 need to do other
things.”
Among those will be finishing a book on
the history of American theater, which he has
not had time to do in more than 18 months.
Miller said he also will teach at least two
classes-and help with either the graduate pro
gram or the Nebraska Repertory Theater. Right
now, he teaches a class in script analysis.
Miller said he received automatic tenure.
Julie Hagemeier, managing director of the
Repertory Theater and theater manager for the
department, said the move was good for Miller,
but his expertise would be missad.
“We all really respected him as an adminis
trator, but it will be wonderful for him to finish
the book he’s been working on for a long time
and teach,” Hagemeier said.
Goodwdl has been coming in from aU the
faculty at the theater department, Miner said. V
“People have been kind,” he said, “They r
have been wishing me weU.”
The last year as theater chairman has been
especially strenuous, Miller said.
“The work load has been really increased,”
he said. “Some of it is faculty leaving and pick
ing up additional work from the faculty.”
Trying to figure out how to deal with a pos
sible 4 percent budget cut also has made the
year stressful, he said.
According to Paul Carlson, associate vice
chancellor for business and finance, depart
ments are .asked to review their budget every
year and submit plans to the chancellor that
show: ''
• How the department would cut its budget
by a certain percentage, 4 percent this year.
• How it would remain at status quo.

By Chad Lorenz
Senior Reporter
After six weeks of investigation, the
Lancaster County Attorney’s office has deter
mined it does not have enough evidence to file
charges in the alleged rape of a UNL student.
“Based on the investigation into this case,
there is not sufficient evidence to proceed in
filing criminal charges,” Deputy County Attor
ney Jody Nelson said.
A female student at the University of Ne
braska-Lincoln reported that she had been sexu
ally assaulted on Sept. 27 by a man she met at a
party at Sigma Nu fraternity, 625 N. 16th St.
Police identified a suspect early in the in
vestigation because the woman gave them a first
name and a description. Police contacted the
suspect, but he declined to be questioned.

Classmates of three teen-agers arrested in
connection with a rash of pop bottle bombings
probably will be discouraged from imitating
them, their middle school principal said Thurs
day.
The three 13-year-olds boys were arrested
at Dawes Middle School Tuesday for posses
sion of a destructive device and using an ex
plosive device to destroy property.
They were allegedly responsible for six in
cidents in which homemade chemical pressure
bombs were left around northeast Lincoln.
^ Principal Carmel Sheppard said punishing
the boys would show other students that they
can’t get away with making the explosives.
Typically, students are suspended for such
charges, Sheppard said. The Lincoln Public
