Burglary A man sleeping on his couch was awakened Saturday night when three men smashed in his front door, asked for his roommate and then took things from the house. The victim told police he was sleeping at his house at 5032W. Craw St when he heard a loud crash, Lin coln Police Sgt. Ann Heermann said. She said the victim reported that three black males entered the house and asked for his roommate. _ The men then went through the fiouse and took a car compact disc player, a pager and a $300 silver *'c coin collection.

Cotner Blvd., handing out anti-abortion rights literature. Heermann said officers were told that the wife of Winston Crabb, a doctor who per forms abortions, used to work there but does not anymore. Members of the group have been following Crabb, picketing his house and his church. Passers-by told security guards that members of the group were putting handbills on cars in the park ing lot Saturday about 3:30 p.m. The posting of bills on cars is illegal. Because no security guards saw the members of the group put anything on a car, they just asked the members to move away from the store where they were handing out material. Hand ing out materials is not illegal. The members, two males and two females, complained but moved on. Heermann said Lincoln Police were called but only took a report. No citations were given.

An $80,000 home would require only a $2,400down payment and a 30 year, fixed-rate mortgage. Closing costs could be kept to 2 percent, he said. But figuring the amount that can be spent on a home can be difficult, he said. “At the end of the day, nobody does anybody any good if you get somebody in a home they can’t heat,” Zoellick said The company’s state and local part counseling services to help Nebraskans budget for their home-loan decision. U.S. Rep. Doug Bereuter said home ownership is impossible in some rural Nebraska communities because neither homes nor loans are available to small town buyers. He said the Fannie Mae partnership would stimulate construction and fa cilitate those loans — a real boon to rural Nebraskans. Timothy Kenny, NEFA executive director, reminded other speakers that Nebraska’s housing problem was only a series of challenges, which innova tive solutions would fix.
