Swanson proposes new.
union restriction policy
■ The new version of the
proposal concerning
non-students may be voted
on tonight.

The Union Board may vote
tonight on a new, scaled down pro
posal for restricting non-students
from the Nebraska Union after 6
p.m., said Nebraska Unions Director
Daryl Swanson.
Swanson said he will recommend
that non-students be restricted from
only the new northwest study area
after 6 p.m. Sunday through
Thursday.
The Union Board delayed a possi
ble vote at its last meeting on a pro
posed policy that would restrict non
students after 6 p.m. in the northwest
study lounge, the Crib and unfinished
television lounge and billiard room in
the basement.
Swanson said the new proposed
policy would create more of a study
ing environment in the lounge. The
television would continue be shut off
around 6 p.m., he said.
“What we’re trying to respondto ,
is that thefe4s a shortage of good
study places on this campus,” he said.
‘fWe think we have a good one to
Offer; students paid for it.”
Swanson said the new proposed
policy will be voted on only if a
Union Board member makes a
motion to vote on it. Members can
make amendments to the new pro
posal, he said.
Swanson said achieving a more
study-friendly environment in the
lounge and the Crib was one reason
for the original policy. The new poli
cy lists just the northwest study
lounge as a restricted area.
Another area that was frequented
by non-students was the now-demol
ished arcade on the main level,
Swanson said. Prior to union renova
tions, some junior high students were
disruptive there, he said. After reno
vations, the arcade room and billiard
room will be in the basement.
Swanson said allowing non-stu
dents to monopolize the limited facil
ities of the billiard room at the
expense of fee-paying students is not
fair.
Since the last Union Board meet
ing, he said he has received little stu
dent feedback on the proposed policy.
Swanson said he and his staff
came up with the new proposal.
Several union staff members will
speak at the meeting.
“Union staff are the people who
have to confront the behavior (of
some non-students) ” he said. "My
staff on a daily basis is confronting
these behaviors by necessity - that is
our job.”
He said the public is encouraged
to attend the 5:30 p.m. meeting today
in the Nebraska Union.
Three injured in assault
A Lincoln man was arrested
Saturday night for assaulting his
wife and 2-year-old son.
The assault started during a card
game between two married couples
in a home on the 800 block of H
Street, Lincoln Police Sgt. Ann
Heermann said.
The man hit his wife in the back
of the head and arms while they sat
at the table, and then he grabbed her
hair and pulled her off the chair.
In the initial altercation the cou
ple’s 2-year-old son was jostled in
his high chair.
The 21-year-old man then
grabbed a kitchen knife and came
after his wife, who was then sitting
on the front steps of their home with
their son.
He lunged at his wife and she ran
upstairs. The other man stepped
between them and was cut on the
hand.
The assailant was arrested on
several charges, including second
and third degree assault, two counts
of terroristic threats, child abuse and
the use of a weapon to commit a
felony.
Pizza deliveryman robbed
A Godfather’s Pizza delivery
man was attacked and robbed as he
approached a house early Sunday
morning.
‘Just after midnight the delivery
man arrived at a house on the 900
block of D Street with two pizzas
and some soda, Heermann said.
There were two women waiting
on the porch of the house and a man
along die east side.
As the deliveryman approached
the house another man ran up behind
him, knocked him down and stole
the pizza, soda and insulated carrier.
Godfather’s estimated an $85
loss, including the $40 insulated
bag.
Alcohol found in Harper
University police found 17 cans
of beer in a residence hall room after
smelling marijuana smoke in the
halls Friday night.
A community service officer
reported the smell of burning mari
juana coming from a ninth floor
Harper Residence Hall room around
11 p.m., University Police Sgt. Mylo
Bushing said.
Police contacted the resident and
a friend in the room and obtained
consent to search the room.
A towel was stuffed under the
door, incense was burning and the
windows were wide open, but police
did not find any marijuana.
They did find 17 beers in the
refrigerator, and the 19-year-old
Harper resident was cited for being a
minor in possession of alcohol.
Student arrested on warrant
University police arrested a stu
dent in Schramm Residence Hall on
an outstanding Lincoln warrant
early Monday morning.
Shortly after midnight police
were called to the third floor of
Schramm by a student assistant who
liad smelled marijuana in the hall,
Bushing said.
The SA had already contacted
the students in the room, so when
officers arrived they could not detect
the smell.
The resident of the room and her
friend did not consent to a search of
the room, but a background check
showed an outstanding warrant for
one of them.
Police arrested the 19-year-old
freshman, who lived on another
floor of Schramm, on a warrant for
attempting to purchase alcohol.
Man caught trespassing
A non-student was arrested for
trespassing at Abel Residence Hall
Saturday morning after he had been
escorted from the building once
already.
Shortly before 4 a.m. the resi
dence director was called to the
ninth floor to handle a disturbance in
the hall, Bushing said.
The 18-year-old man from
Council Bluffs, Iowa, was threaten
ing a couple of students he said had
assaulted him at an off-campus
party.
The RD escorted the man from
the building, and police told him he
would be arrested if he returned.
The student who had initially
invited the man into Abel took him
to another door and signed him back
into the hall.
Police found the man and arrested
him for trespassing.

IT’S NOT EVERY DAY
P* ACflMPUMENT
A11 financial companies charge operating fees
A. JL and expenses — some more than others. Of
course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better.
That way, more of your money goes where it
should—towards building a comfortable future.
We make low expenses a top priority.
I As the largest retirement system in the
world'—a nonprofit company focused exclu
sively on the financial needs of the educational
and research communities — our expenses are
among the lowest in the insurance and mutual
fund industries.2
In fact, TIAA-CREF’s 0.31% average fund
expenses are less than half of the expense charges
of comparable funds.3 It’s why Momingstar—
one of the nation s leading sources of annuity and
mutual fund information — says, “At that level
[TIAA-CREF] is cheaper than any other
[variable annuity] policy, and is even compet
itive with the cheapest mutual fund complexes,
though it offers far more benefits.”''
“TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the
financial services industry.”
Of course, expenses are only one factor to
consider when you make an investment decision.
Morningstar also noted our commitment to
"consumer education, service” and "solid
investment performance.” Because that can
make a difference in the long run, too.
At TIAA-CREF, we believe people would
like to spend more in retirement, not on their
retirement company. Today, over two million
people count on that approach to help them
build a comfortable and secure future. So
can you. To find out more, call us at
1 800 842-2776. We'd consider it a compliment.
