Mace protects Students
rom would-be attackers
by Joanoll Ackermau
N'ebraskau Staff Writer
A small aerosol can about an inch
in diameter and about five, or six
inches long may sound like an unlikely
object to ward off a would-be at
tacker. But some University students
carry such cans for their protection.
The cans contain m a c e -1 i k e
chemicals which when sprayed in the
face cause the eyes to water and is
"terribly disorienting."
Mary Jo Stephens, a coed who lives
off campus, keeps a can of mace in
her car "just in case." The can was
given to her by an out-of-town friend.
She said that several of her friends
also have mace-like products.
"OF COURSE. I have never usd
it." she said. "But it is an added
protection."
Another coed who must walk alone
on campus after dark carries a can
of "attacker repellent" in her coat
pocket. She received the device from
her parents, but does not know where
they got it.
Tom Minthorn. a member of a
psychedelic rock band who describes
himself as "sort of a non-violence
fan." thinks that the erosol cans are
a good idea.
"I like to avoid trouble wherever
possible and would rather not get all
mangled up." he said.

The product Minthorn has is called
"The Preventer," which "works just
like mace," he says. He had to sign
his name and address on a card at
the Omaha drugstore where he
purchased it. A can lasts about eight
months, he said.
The six members in his group, the
Fay Hoagan Experiment, wear long
hair which "does not agree with some
people."
"We have no problem in a place
like Lincoln. But in some of these
small towns where we play
wow."
.
MINTHORN SAID that they have
only had to use their "preventer"
once. It was during a New Year's
Eve dance at Wayne, Nebr., when
a serviceman home on leave jumped
up on the stage and began giving
the group a bad time.
A check of some Lincoln gun stores
showed that mace is not available
here.
The sales manager at Western Gun
and Supply Co. said that his store
used to carry mace about a year ago.
But, a lawsuit in California resulting
from a mace-involved incident has
caused over-the-counter selling of
mace to be banned, he said.
An incident involving the legality
of carrying and using mace is
reported in the Ohio University cam
pus paper. The Post.
A STIDKNT was arrested and
charged with carrying a concealed
weapon (the mace) and with "assault
with intent to do bodily harm by
spraying chemical mace in the face"
of an Anthens. Ohio resident. The
concealed weaiwn charge was later
dropped.
Eugene Armstead. training sergeant
with the Lincoln police said that mace
"would probably not be considered
a concealed weapon.
"But as soon as a person sprays
mace on someone, he has to be on

firm ground. Malicious use of mace
could be the grounds for a criminal
charge disturbing the peace, if
nothing else. There is also the
possibility of a civil suit," Armstead
said.
SECTION 9.28.080 of the Nebraska
Revised Statues states that "it is
unlawful for any person to carry about
the person any concealed pistol,
revolver, dirk, bowie knife, pocket
knife having a blade of more than
three inches in length, switchblade
knife, billy, sling shot, metal knuckles
or dangerous or deadly weapon of
any kind except only officers of the
law
Chemical Mace, the brand used by
the Lincoln Police Department is a
"highly purefied form of teargas."
Armstead says that the officers are
trained in the use of mace as a
defensive weapon.
"It is a peaceful means to gain
an end as opposed to the night
stick or gun," he said.
Armstead added that he was not
aware that some University students
carried mace, although he knew of
some bartenders who have it.

that SIP does not plan to accomplish
its goals right away. The important
matter is to get things rolling in the
right direction to change the system,
he added.
He continued that ASUN must dC ,
everything in its power to change tht
system. "If changes aren't brought
about by usual channels, then it may
be necessary to take action like the
black students are taking today," ho
said.
