Off-duty officer foils robber When Francis Schuber walked into a Walgreen’s and announced that it was a robbery Saturday evening, he didn’t realize there was an off-duty police officer in the store, Lincoln Police said. After Schuber, 35, did not get any money at Walgreen’s at 17* and South streets, the officer followed him to a nearby residence, Capt. A1 Wagner said. Additional officers were summoned to the scene, and Schuber was arrested. Schuber is also charged with two other weekend robberies: Friday night at Pizza Hut, 15th and South streets, and Saturday morning at Burger King, 2045 South 17* St. Man arrested for DUI A DUI arrest led to the discovery af more than four ounces of marijua na in a Norfolk man’s car. When Lincoln Police stopped Scott Lowry, 37, for a traffic offense Tuesday, they suspected he had been driving under the influence, Sgt. Ann Heermann said.Lowry was arrested, and police searched his car where they found 112 grams of suspected marijuana. Narcotics charges will likely follow, pending state laborato ry results. Robber still at large An unsuccessful robbery last week left the victim bleeding, and the robber was still at-large Sunday. At 10:45 p.m. on March 22, a man was confronted on the 1400 block of O Street, Heermann said. The robber threatened the man with a knife and demanded money. When the victim said he had no money, the robber began slashing at him with his knife.The victim’s hand was cut when he tried to protect him self from the attack, and then the rob ber fled on foot. The robber is described as a 6 foot-tall black man with a thin build. He was wearing a dark jacket, jeans and a stocking cap. Sales clerk robbed After closing a store last week, a shoe sales cleric was forced back inside at gun point to empty the cash register. The clerk was confronted after closing in the parking lot of Payless ShoeSource, 60th and O streets, at 9:30 p.m. March 21 by a man with a small, black handgun, Heermann said. The robber forced the clerk back inside the store, took the cash and fled on foot. The robber was a black man in his 20s, 5 feet 6 inches tall, and about 135 pounds. He was wearing a black cap, a nylon mask and a black, three quarter-length coat.

J Budget adjustments passed Senators sent LB 1108, a large budget adjustment package, to Gov. Ben Nelson last week. The bill would cut the budget by more than $790,000 for fiscal year 1997-98, but increase the bud get for the following year by $27.5 million. The bill’s main parts would fund: ■ Creation of the Nebraska Technology Commission (LB924). ■ Aid to school districts for core needs (LB1110). ■ Building renewal projects at Peru State College (LB 1138). The bill also would cover costs for LB1100, which would provide funds to repair and replace TTtlivArcih; r\f* MaKrocb-o an A pfnfa --—J ~ ’—***“*“' college buildings that have been deteriorating. Senators also advanced LB63, which would transfer $40 million from the state’s general fund to pay for road construction and maintenance. Funding for the road mainte nance has been promised by Congress, which has been slow in approving the spending. The money taken from the gen eral funds would be reimbursed by the federal government when the measure passes. Peru State gets funding Senators approved a quick-fix bill to pay more than $4 million to Peru State College for building development and renovation. The repairs will help keep the school running until its fate can be decid ed, pending a study by the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education. The study will analyze the col lege’s role and mission and must be submitted to the governor by December before construction of a new science building can be approved. “Brain Gain” fails to advance Senators last week debated LB 1173, the “Brain Gain” bill, but the hill failed tn advance nut nf general file. Bruning said the bill would help the state keep the best stu dents in Nebraska and direct them into career fields that are suffering a worker shortage. However, Sen. Bob Wickersham of Harrison said graduates should stay in Nebraska because they want to, not because they are required by a scholarship program. ' “I simply don’t think that the measure is a good one,” Wickersham said. t\ nnr^ ^nrr /tatt call 472-8146 for more information 20-year career in Legislature draws to close WESELY from page 1 gate to the national convention and supporting other democratic can didates. “Because of his record of lead ership and excellence in the Legislature,” Quirk said, “he’ll really be missed.” But, she said, she expects to see him running for public office in the future. Wesely’s real ambition has been, and always will be, repre senting Nebraska in Congress, he said. However, because he’s taken on wealthy, powerful people in the past, Wesely said, he can’t raise the lame amount of monev needed to launch a congressional campaign. “I’ve abandoned the idea of running for high offices,” Wesely said. “I have no personal wealth and I have no wealthy friends. “But it’s always been a dream of mine to go to Congress.” Instead, Wesely said he is con templating running for mayor of Lincoln in 2000. Wesely said he will leave the Legislature on a high note, before getting “burned out.” Looking back on his work in the Unicameral, Wesely said he is proud of his career. “I think I did my best,” he said. “I think I’ve remained true to my principles, and I feel really good about that.” cSpENDING A LOT Of TIME LOOKING IN THE MIRROR MAY NOT BE A SIGN Of VANITY.
