Police distribute hot sheet to bars ■ The list identifies people arrested for alcohol-related crimes in an effort to curb problems in taverns. By Josh Funk Senior staff writer Lincoln bar bouncers will soon be armed with a list of so-called trouble makers who may warrant special attention or may be denied service altogether. Names of people arrested for alcohol-related offenses and other disturbances in the downtown area during the previous month are being put on a list to be given to downtown bars. The Responsible Hospitality Council has developed a bar hot sheet listing people who have been arrested for crimes such as driving while intoxicated, minors attempting to purchase alcohol, procuring for minors, assaults, terroristic threats and other crimes. “These are the kind of things that happen in these establishments.” Lincoln Police Capt. Joy Citta said. The Responsible Hospitality Council is a coalition of government agencies, civic groups and business es. including downtown bar owners. Lincoln police will give the hot sheet to bars monthly, so bar employ ees can make informed decisions about who to admit and serve. It will be up to bar owners to decide on any policies and how to enforce them with customers, Citta said. The hot sheet w ill be created from police reports, which are public infor mation, she said. Bar owners have said they will use the hot sheet as a tool to help them follow the law and prevent problems. Crane River Brewpub & Cafe owner Linda Vescio said people on the list would get extra scrutiny in her establishment at 200 N. P St. “We know none of the people on the list have been convicted of any thing,” Vescio said. “We're certainly not going to deny entry just because they're on the list." It still would be up to the door attendant or host to determine who comes in. Vescio said. Managers at Duffy's Tavern. 1412 O St., are meeting Sunday to discuss the hot sheet and how to use it. man ager Andy Fairbairn said. “If we have any doubts we don't let them in," Fairbairn said. “We'd use it as a tool to help us follow the law." However, some bar owners have not determined exactly how they will use the list. After the first hot sheet has been produced, bar owners w ill be better able to determine their policies. The Responsible Hospitality Council is an organization composed of liquor licensees, community orga nizations, police, city and university administration representatives, alco hol-awareness groups and downtown business owners.

Researchers suggest keeping some remains By Lindsay Young Senior staff writer Rather than apologize for past anthropological and archaeologi cal research at UNL, the university should defend scholarship and aca demic freedom, a group said Monday. In a released statement, the Nebraska Association of Scholars said scholarship and religion have clashed in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's recent deci sion to repatriate 1.700 American Indian remains. The 1,700 remains include about 670 unaffiliated remains. Some of the unaffiliated remains could be more than 1,000 years old. That leaves the question, said the association, as to whether the unaffiliated remains should be left for research - not for repatriation. “1 don’t think anybody should be treating anybody else's ances tors with disrespect, but at the same time academic freedom involves being able to go out and research the past,” said Gerald Harbison, a Nebraska Association of Scholars member and a UNL chemistry professor. "If it doesn't do tangible harm to anybody ... people don't have the right to intervene.” Anthropology Department Chairman Robert Hitchcock said some of the remains at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln were as old as 6,000 years old. “That's one of the critical ques tions," Hitchcock said. “Do they have genealogical connections to contemporary living Native Americans?” But because the agreement to repatriate already has been made at UNL, Harbison said, the group doesn’t expect anything to be done. He said it would be something the university should think about the next time similar issues arise. Hitchcock said last week that the unaffiliated category of remains was broad. The remains could be very old, which is why they are hard to iden tify. But the remains also could have been dubbed unaffiliated because people haven’t had the time to ana lyze them or didn't know the loca tion of the site where they were found, Hitchcock said. Two members of the anthropol Please see REMAINS on 8 Fall break dates cause conflicts in scheduling By Sarah Baker Senior staff writer When administration offered stu dents a midsemester fall break, most didn't realize they would have to choose. For some, using the two days off. Oct. 19 and 20. to extend the weekend meant mini-vacations to leave town. But only if they don't mind missing Nebraska's homecoming football game and activities, and the state's largest annual career fair. The University of Nebraska Lincoln’s administration is partially responsible for the confusion: It announced the wrong date last semes ter. When the University of Nebraska calendar committee in April approved the midsemester fall break, an admin istrative mistake caused confusion about the date, which was originally announced as Oct. 26-27. Earl Hawkey, UNL director of reg istration and records, said the wrong date for the break was announced at UNL because of an office error, while the other NU campuses had the correct date. "We thought our dates were consis tent, but they weren't.” Hawkey said. u There was a demand for the break on the part o f the students, but no one ever, to my memory, mentioned the conflict." Leo Sartori UNL representative for the NU calendar committee The incorrect date was released to students dunng finals week last spring. Hawkey said. The mistake was discov ered and corrected within the week, but after many students had left for the summer. Although it was quickly corrected, it still created problems for some stu dents. Sherri Neall, a senior news-editor ial major, said she had her fall break trip scheduled, including airline tick ets, before the correct date was announced. Neall said she didn't hear the cor rect date until the fall semester began, and by then it was too late for her to reschedule her trip. "It was just a pain,” Neall said. "1 was looking forward to getting away.” Scheduling vacations isn’t the only problem students may have with the date of the break. The vacation clashes with Homecoming weekend. Oct. 16-17. and Career Connections '98, the state’s largest combined career and graduate school fair, held annually at the Bob Devanev Sports Center. Leo Sartori, UNL representative for the NU calendar committee, said when the new, correct date was set, the committee was unaware of the con flicts it caused. “There was a demand for the break on the part of the students, but no one ever, to my memory, mentioned the conflict,” Sartori said. “There aren’t many choices of times to have this break.” Please see BREAK on 8 Read the Daily Nebraskan on the World Wide Web at http://www.unl.edu /DailyNeb
