Incidents likely related
Vandals puncture several tires
By Jerry Guenther
Senior Reporter
The Lincoln Police Department
does not have any suspects yet
from at least 54 confirmed reports
of tire punctures that occurred in
Southwest Lincoln over the week
end, a police officer said Sunday.
Sgt. Dave Hamly said most of
the tires appear to have been punc
tured sometime' after midnight
Friday and before 3 a.m. Saturday.
The vandals did most of the
damage between A Street and
Highway 2, and from 13th to 27th
streets, Harnly said.
About six other unconfirmed
cases of tire punctures also have
been reported, Harnly said.
Police believe all the incidents
are related because the tires were
ail punctured with what appears to
have been a small knife or ice pick,
he said.
Randy Pavey, interim manager
at T.O. Haas Tire at 13th and South
streets, said he knew of at least 15
people who came in Saturday to
have their tires replaced that were
all punctured in the same way.
Pavey said the tires were struck
in the sidewall, making them just
about impossible to patch.
T.O. Haas Tire, which normally
closes at 1 p.m. on Saturdays, ex
tended hours so people could gel
their tires replaced, Pavey said.

Hitchcock says the United States
at that time was aware of what was
happening, but chose to do nothing
about it because it was not in its
interest to interfere in the food proc
ess. He says the United States was
propping up the government that it
wanted there for political reasons.
“I was on my own. Even though
what I was saying from the standpoint
of human rights was correct, and
from the standpoint of the people I
was working with was torrect, the
political implications were sensi
tive,” he says.
mu.iu.ucK aisu spcm a year in a
small village in Botswana in Africa.
While there, he worked on the issue
of land rights for the bushmen.
The bushmen were being affected
negatively by land reform programs
sponsored by the World Bank and in
part by American tax dollars he says.
According to Hitchcock, the
World Bank land and livestock proj
ect was pushing for the land to be
divided into large ranches, enhancing
conservation, wildlife utilization and
use of the land.
That meant the bushmen on the
land would have to move. Hitchcock
says he helped get land set aside for
them to continue to live a pastoral
existence.
When he arrived in the small vil
lage, the people asked him to help
them get tenure rights to their land, he
says. The first time they came to him,
one of the things they wanted was a
school for the village, he says.
Hitchcock says he got the school
started, getting schoolbooks, and
paying for the teacher himself.
“It was a small private school that
has now been taken over by the gov
ernment,” he says.
The people wanted health pro
grams, so he arranged for a mobile
health unit to make medical visits,
and a clinic eventually was set up, he
says.
“I made a difference and that’s the
critical thing,” Hitchcock says.
In the classroom, Hitchcock is
always on the move.
He writes a point on the black
board, talking and analyzing the issue
as he drifts slowly toward the win
dow, gazing out as he approaches.
Suddenly, he turns, rushes back to the
board to write down a new thought.

professors-he’s ever known.

lures -- not every year, but every
semester,” Brandenburgh says.
Hitchcock doesn’t tell his students
how it is, Brandenburgh says, but
presents all sides of the issues and
then leaves it up to them to form their
opinions.
Hitchcock has published many
articles and books, including more
than 20 publications in the last year.
‘‘toe is special (because of) his
work ethic, which is all the time.”
Brandenburgh says. ‘‘He’s always in
his office... working on papers or for
publications.”
‘‘Most of all, what makes Bob
special is the fact that he’s very dedi
cated and really cares about what he’s
doing.”
Hitchcock says many anthropolo
gists condemn his work, saying that
he is trying to change the people he is
studying.
“I say no, I’m trying to give them
an opportunity for them to make their
own choices/’ he says.
