Since the incident, some Nebraska students have come forward to report having been assaulted, Wiatt said. Parrott said the UPD has received two complaints from Nebraska by e- mail. The police department at the University of Nebraska is investigating at least one report of assault and will send the statement to the UPD, Wiatt said. The statement will then be reviewed and discussed with the county attorney to decide if charges should be filed. The assault charge that may be filed, a simple assault, is classified as a class C misdemeanor and is comparable to a traffic ticket and punish able by a fine, Wiatt said. Additionally, students involved in the inci dent may face consequences from the University. “If we determine policy violations (in the stu dents’ actions), we will certainly pursue discipli nary action,” Parrott said. Students could face consequences as severe as suspension or expulsion or may receive con duct probation, he said. “There is no justification for violent alterca tions,” Parrott said. TEEX Continued from page 1 a lecture,” Martell said. “The lab was created to meet a very specific training need. It will ensure the quality of portable water and meet the regulatory requirements for wastewater discharge.” The $300,000 lab will also serve as an emergency response lab. In the event of a hurricane, flood or other disas ter that overpowers local water and water treatment facilities, the lab can move to the disaster area to ensure the water is safe to drink and the wastewater is safe to discharge. This self-contained lab was designed by TEEX’s Paul Muraca and Richard Harbuck. Muraca said that there was a need for this lab because no classroom provided laboratory hands-on training. “The lab can actually go to the students and give them the opportunity to practice the pro cedures they would learn in the classroom,” Muraca said. “It allows for a small classroom setting.” Three or four classes should be completed using the lab by January, Muraca said. The mobile lab can be trans ported to sites across Texas to train citizens to aid in protect ing the health of their commu nities, Harbuck said. “Only a few people are in charge of the health in our community and the lab was built to provide them with a facility where they can learn to do the testing that ensures the quality of our drinking water.” The stand-alone lab was custom built by Champion Trailer Co. in Lewisville, Texas. It is believed to be the only mobile lab of its type designed for training. The lab is equipped with an 18,000-watt generator, a solar panel and a 1 10-volt power cable.
