Zcch was hospitalized for about three months after the
10-story drop on to a wooden bench on the west side of
Abel, lis has recovered c'gsiScsatly from the resulting
broken pelvis, wrists and ribs, and head injuries and now
majors in electrical technology at Southeast Community
College.
It still is not known whether Zech jumped, was pushed
or simply fell through the window of his room. He is not
very concerned with finding out.

"I used to think about it all the time," he said, "But
not so much anymore. If I find out it won't help my life
any-so it doesn't really matter.
Tm pretty sure I wasn't pushed, he said.
He said he has not ruled out the possibility of a jump,
however.
"It's possible," he said, adding that he had been ex
periencing "personal problems' at the rime. "But it's kind
ofdoubtfuL"
Zech, 19, from Douglas, said his mind is a blank from
the rime of the accident until he regained consciousness
about one month later in Lincoln General Hospital.
The fall occured on Zech's second day at the Lincoln

"I remember he was going to be an architect and what
he looked like, but that's a3."
Zech said his rapid recovery surprised many people. He
walked aaia after two and one-half months.
"The doctors said I wouldn't walk for at feast a year
and a half, then they thought it might be six months," he
said. "I told them I could walk and they were sort of
skeptical at first, but I knew I could do it." -
Zech said he gauges hs recovery in terms of how well

"Dribbling is still a chore for me. Shooting jump shots
is pretty hard too," he said, but added that he shoots a
pretty pod set shot.
"I'm in a lot better shape than anyone expected me to
be a year ago at this rime.'
