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.

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.”
