pegs 2 daily nebreskan monday, October 22, 1979 Mace stops sexual assault attempt By Rich Jurgens A victim of a sexual assault doesn't always have to be the loser, as a 21year-old UNL student proved last week. UNL Police Investigator Robert Fey said an attempted sexual assault was prevented by the use of mace. Fey said a student reported to the campus police that after she left class at Woods Hall, she heard someone walking behind her. When she got to her car, someone grabbed her and Mtold her to lay down," Fey said. The student told the police the man was between 5 feet 8 inches tall and was holding a silver revolver during the attempted assault. Fey said she sprayed mace, a chemical face and skin irritant in an aerosol can, to ward off the attacker. The student described the man as either Mexican or Indian and as wearing a blue denim jacket and blue jeans. About 10 sexual assaults have been reported to UNL police this semester. However, UNL police Captain Robert Edmunds said not all of these assaults are first-degree. Fey said he has gotten several calls from students this semester asking if mace was legal. He said he tells students that mace is a self-defense alternative, but recommended it not be used if the attacker has a gun or knife. Fey said this time it worked for the student, so it may work for others. However, Tim Snyder a karate instructor at Mid-Amcrican-Tae-Kwon-Do Karate School said mace can work against you. Sometimes, if the" wind is blowing in the wrong direction, the mace will blow in the victim's face, Snyder said. He added that the attacker could have had enough time to shoot the student in this instance. Snyder, who has been teaching self-defense for five years, said in this particular case, to ensure the student's safety, she should have either submitted or tried to talk her way out of the assault. Most techniques taught to women in self-defense are highly impractical, Snyder said. Using a set of keys for self-defense is foolish, he said. Keys will only scratch the attacker and probably will enrage him further. Also, he said, keys bend easily and may keep the victim form getting into her car to escape. Snyder said most women never visualize themselves as being victims, so they get caught off guard. He said women should realize they could be potential victims and have a sense of awareness. Women should not be totally paranoid about rape, but should have a little bit. of controlled paranoia he said.
