Shooting of two boys
leaves police puzzled
From Staff Reports
Few details and sparse
descriptions have police strug
gling to piece together a weekend
shooting incident.
Lincoln Police Capt. Allen
Soukup said little was known
about how two teens received
minor injuries after midnight
Saturday.
The boys, both 17, told police
that they were driving down O
Street when they and two males in
another car started flashing gang
signs at each other.
At 27th Street, the two cars
turned south, and the two boys
said the passenger in a white car
pulled out a gun. The passenger
fired two or three shots, breaking
windows in the boys’ car.
The two boys were treated and
released from Lincoln General
Hospital Saturday morning for
cuts received from either glass,
bullet fragments or a ricochet,
Soukup said.
Soukup said the boys could
not provide descriptions of the car,
the suspect or the weapon used.

RHA figures out budget
By Sarah Baker
Assignment Reporter
The UNL Residence Hall
Association approved a semester
budget of nearly $40,000 Sunday.
The budget of $36,838 is below
RHA’s estimated $37,272 income.
RHA also voted to combine the
student assistant and hall and floor
programming funds. The funds,
which previously were allocated
$1,800 each, were combined to
form the $3,600 SA/Floor and Hall
Programming Fund. Some RHA
senators had argued that keeping the
funds separate meant more work.
President Ben Wallace said the
change was a good one.
“This was a really good debate
within the senate,” Wallace said.
“We are making sure things happen
in the best interest of the students.”
ivn/\ aiso discussed 11s mission
statement. Wallace took suggestions
from the senators concerning their
expectations and goals for the year.
Wallace said he would present a
basic mission statement at the next
meeting for discussion.
RHA also allocated $500 to Burr
Hall to install a Farm Data Network
system.
He said students use the network
for researching agricultural and
real-time weather information.
Great pioneers don 7 hesitate.
