UNL Police prepare
for busy fall semester
By Tim Karstens
Staff Reporter
Take a look around as you read
this. You could be looking at some
one Mho may soon need the services
of the University of Lincoln
Nebraska Police.
Even if they don’t, you or many
other students on campus may soon
face ever-present parking problems
and the enforcement by UNL
Parking and Transit Services.
The fall term not only brings
1000s of students to Lincoln, but
also an increase in crime and park
ing problems. If students are careful
and observant of campus policies
and laws, they can spare them
selves, campus officials said.
“The first part of the semester is
the worst,” said Sgt. Mylo Bushing
of the UNL Police. “That’s because
we have to re-educate the students
coming in on how to prevent
crime.”
According to department statis
tics, burglary, larceny and theft
accounted for 649 of the 791
offenses reported to police.
When it comes to revealing the
true concern for university police,
the numbers don’t lie, Bushing said.
“The biggest problem we have
at UNL is theft,” Bushing said.
“Whether it is theft from buildings,
vehicles or residence halls, it’s the
biggest problem we have.”
Bushing said the problem with
theft is that it’s compounded by the
anonymity a large campus like
UNL affords.
“If a crook wants to throw on a
backpack and come into a building,
there is no one to check and see if

they are a student,” Bushing said.
Although theft remains a loom
ing concern, the growing availabili
ty of technology has inadvertently
spawned a new area for criminals to
exploit.
“One area of growing concern is
computers,” Bushing said. “I think
we are going to see an increase in
computer crimes.”
Bushing said the possibilities
for computer criminal activity
include theft, hacking and e-mail
harassment.
The police patrol the campus for
various crimes, but they receive
some help from Parking Services
employees.
Tad McDowell, manager of
Parking Services, said his workers
keep there eyes open when patrol
ing the lots.
“We are always observant to
anything that seems out of the ordi
nary,” McDowell said. “We always
report it to the UNL Police.”

“Most of what we find is stuff peo
ple threw away,” Chidky said. ‘It’s like
when you move today, a couple bags of
trash get left behind.”
Chidely said the group had uncov

grinding tools, fish and animal bones and
even scorched com He said the majority
of pieces were at least one-fourth inch in
some dimension - large enough to be
caught in the sifting process.
Meanwhile, two volunteers pore over
a pile of dirt in their sifting box, breaking
up the smallest chunks until they fall
