Camera equipment stolen
An unknown party walked
out of the Daily Nebraskan
offices with approximately
$6,000 of camera equipment
Monday.
The man, described as 6-foot
tall, slender, black and in his late
20s, was seen leaving the offices
with two camera bags shortly
before 8 a.m., UNL Police said.
Because it was before busi
ness hours, the man was able to
walk into the offices almost
unnoticed.
Later in the day the man sold
half the equipment, valued at
almost $2,000, to Harmon’s
Camera Center for $125.
Luckily the equipment was
recovered from Harmon’s when
a Daily Nebraskan photographer
entered the store and saw the
- equipment on the counter.
The thief still is at large with
the rest of the camera equip
ment.
Student carjacked
A Lincoln High School stu
dent was robbed at knife-point
by three fellow students as he
drove into the school’s parking
lot Monday morning.
A 17-year-old student
stopped and rolled down his
window after a classmate sig
naled him to stop, Lincoln
Police Sgt. Ann Heermann said.
With the window down, the
classmate pulled a knife, put it
to the driver’s throat and
demanded he get out of the car.
The victim complied and the
boy with the knife and two other
boys got into the 1984 Ford
Tempo and drove away.
About 30 minutes later a
police officer spotted the car
parked near 10th Street and Park
Boulevard.
Three boys, matching the
suspects’ descriptions, were
walking up 10th Street.
The officer contacted them
in front of the detention center,
where he arrested the three of
them.
The boy with the knife was
charged with robbery and the
use of a weapon to commit a
felony. The others, both 17, were
charged with robbery.
Bus window shot out
Two juveniles shot out a
school bus window as the bus
passed by their house Monday
afternoon.
The bus was driving along
Woodstock Avenue towards
Saint Michael’s Road when the
bus driver heard a popping noise
like something hitting glass fol
lowed by screams.
The driver stopped to investi
gate the noise and found one of
the windows had been shot,
Heermann said.
The driver determined the
shots came from a house along
Woodstock Avenue where police
found two juveniles, ages 13 and
14, with their BB gun. No fur
ther information was available.
Student sexually assaulted
A UNL student was sexually
assaulted Friday night in the
Harper/Schramm/Smith
Residence Complex parking lot,
UNL Police said.
On her way back from her car
she was ctfhfronted by three
men, UNL Police Sgt. Mylo
Bushing said.
One of the men shoved the
woman between two cars and
started to touch her breasts.
The men fled when they were
stopped by a community service
officer patrolling the lot.

1 Campus rec fees to increase
By Jessica Fargen
Assignment Reporter
Last semester UNL students paid
about $43 to play football in Cook
Pavilion, work out on stairmasters
and use Campus Recreation Center
facilities.
Next year, it will probably cost
them a little more.
Campus rec is requesting a $1
increase each semester to pay for
short term projects and a 32 cent
increase each semester to cover oper
ating expenses.
Campus rec Director Stan
Campbell, said the 32 cents - 0.8 per
cent - was needed to offset a 4 per
cent loss the center suffered due to
reduced enrollment, which meant
less money from student fees in
1997-98.
Campbell said the center also was
forced to decrease the hours it was
open, reduce the number of referees
for intramural sports and discontinue
supervision at Mabel Lee Hall.
These practices, Campbell said,
have hurt students, and the center has
received complaints from them.
The center is asking for the 0.8
percent increase to cover increased
costs for things such as utilities,
wages to pay for licenses mandated
by the State of Nebraska Health
Department and extra staff to keep
the climbing wall open 10 more
hours per week.
But Campbell said the center
does anticipate an increase in self
generated income mostly from its
massage therapy program, which off
sets some of those other increases.
Campbell said in 1967 students
were charged two dollars a semester
for repair, but that has been inflated
to $9.71 in 1997 to purchase the same
goods and services. Students paid $9
each semester during the 1997-98
school year.
The $1 increase is for short-term
3SbEp
projects, such as the purchase of
weight equipment and facility
upkeep, Campbell said. Funds for
longer-term projects, like the new
turf in Cook Pavilion, also come from
student fees.
Kendall Swenson, chairman of
the Committee for Fees Allocation,
said normally campus rec’s budget
doesn’t get much debate because the
numbers are usually accurate and
organized, but with the $20 increase
in student fees coming thanks to
Nebraska Union renovations, CFA
will have to be a little more frugal
before they vote on the union’s bud
get Feb. 12.
CFA Tuesday also passed the
University Health Center’s zero per
cent budget request for 1998-99.
