Red Cross First Aid Team supports the Cornhuskers
By Mike Meehan
Staff Reporter
Wearing red to Memorial Sta
dium on football Saturday means
more to three UNL students than
just showing support for the Corn
huskers. To Sara Egan, Carla Jans and Tim
Schulz, red is part of the uniform of
the Red Cross First Aid Team. They
are three of the more than 56 volun
teers who watch over the safety
of football fans during every game.
According to Egan, a graduate
student, each member must have
fulfilled the required CPU and mul
timedia first aid training. In addi
tion to fulfilling those basic re
quirements, Chuck Elsom, director
of the first aid team, said that eve
ryone who wants to work on the
stadium team goes before a screen
ing committee and then attends
training sessions. They also have to
work 20 other events during the
year, he said.
Jans, a senior pre-med major team
member, is also a CPR instructor, as
are about half of the team members.
"I enjoy working with the Red
Cross and the campus red Cross,"
she said "The people are profes
sional and well-organized.
The team's professionalism and
effectiveness has not gone unno
ticed by the fans. Nancy Osborne
related an incident in which she
discovered the great need for such a
team. She said she was in another
Big Eight stadium when she noticed
someone who needed help.
"Two rows in front of me an
elderly man suffered a heart attack.
We couldn't find help in the sta
dium. There were no Red Cross
crews, no ushers, no one to help,"
Osborne said;
Schulz said the number of calls
they get varies from game to game
and depends on the weather.
"I have never used my CPR train
ing, but it can happen," he said.
Elsom said, "We're the first to
respond. We render help and access
the situation to the people below
who are in contact with the Eastern
ambulances and the Bryan Heart
team." There are two first aid sta
tions located in the northwest and
southwest corners of the stadium.
Calls to the Red Cross during the
games range from bee stings to heat
exhaustion, said Steve Lewis, pub
lic relations director. Twenty-five
calls make for a busy game, he said.
"At last year's Florida State game,
125 people suffered from heat stroke.
Some were our people, who were
carrying people down from the
stands," Lewis said.
In order to operate in the third
largest populated area in the state,
the, first aid team is divided among
the four areas of the stadium. Two
members are placed at the top of
each of the bleachers along with a
litter crew, which is located lower
in the stands. More members are on
the sidelines.
This organization is designed to
insure the safety of the fans. The
volunteers of the stadium team are
faced with possibilities of emer
gency situations but they said they
still find their jobs rewarding.
"It's fun and an exciting expe
rience. You meet a lot of people,"
Schulz said.
This Saturday's home game also
is the Red Cross's First Aid Team
Appreciation Day. The goal is to
raise $20,000 during the game to
help support the numerous com
munity and campus activities spon
sored by the Lancaster chapter of
the Red Cross.

Many donations of clothes have
already been received and are being
stored in the YWCA and the homes of
some of the board members because
the room is not finished, said Dorothy
Seaton, Job Outfitters board member.
Many local beauty salons have given
Job Outfitters coupons for free cuts
and styles.
The group also is taking donations of
uniforms and special clothing needed
for some jobs.
Someone donated a pair of steel
toed boots and someone will surely need
them, said board member Emilia Gon
zalez Clements.
Users of Job Outfitters must be
referred to the free program by a
human service agency.
Job Outfitters does ask that the
women they help donate some piece of
clothing back to the program after they
are employed.
"That allows the woman who has
received help to help somebody else,"
Gonalzez Clements said.
Barret said she brainstormed and
came up with the idea for a clothing
bank and other people and groups got
interested.

Job Outfitters is a project of the
Women of Color Task Force and is co
sponsored by the Lincoln-Lancaster
Commission on the Status of Women;
YWCA; Horizons Chapter, American
Business Women's Association; Axis
Business & Professional Women.
Several other Nebraska towns have
expressed an interest in starting their
own clothing bank, Gonzalez Clements
said. She said Job Outfitters isn't ready
to start advising other groups yet.
Ideas on how to expand the bank's
service are still coming in, Gonzalez
Clements said. One new idea is to pro
vide clothes in larger sizes. She said
Job Outfitters plans to call diet centers
and ask women to donate their clothes
that are too big, she said.
The planners of Job Outfitters
expected the bank to be open by mid
September, but cleaning and painting
still needs to be done.
People interested in donating clo
thing or time to Job Outfitters can call
the Lincoln-Lancaster Commission on
the Status of Women (471-7716) or the
YWCA (476-2802).
