Expires 9-29-90 DN-10 UNL athletes DARE kids 4Role models' tell elementary students to stay away from drugs By Adeana Leftin Staff Reporter___ UNL athletes are DAREing to be different. More than 100 University of Ne braska-Lincoln athletes are volunteer ing their free time at the DARE booth at the Nebraska State Fair until it ends Sunday. DARE, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, is beginning its second season in Nebraska after a successful year in Omaha schools, said Deputy Emanuel Bartek of the Lincoln sher iff’s office. The anti-drug program focuses on fifth- and sixth-grade stu dents in an attempt to reach students when they’re young, he said. The athletes spend two hours at the booth speaking with students and answering their questions with the help of police officers. Law enforcement agents avoid using “scare tactics,’’ Bartek said. Instead, DARE stresses the impor tance of high self-esteem in evading peer pressure. The program also teaches the consequences of drug use, he said. Nancy Kindig, a graduate assis tant who works with the UNL women’s athletic program, said trie sneriu s office contacted the athletic depart ment to form a formal relationship with the athletes to support the pro gram. “It’s a way to give back to the community,” Kindig said. Kindig said she hopes the athletes working on the project also will speak in public schools. Bartek said the sheriff’s office wanted to use athletes to support DARE because they are role models for the children. “I’m not credible,” he said, “but they are . . . now. They perform a fantastic service.” Kelly Westenrieder and Susan Hedrick, both members of the UNL track team, spent some of their time at the booth answering questions about track and signing autographs. The athletes hope to show students that participating in sports is a way to avoid turning to drugs to relieve bore dom. Hedrick said. Westenrieder said the athletes’ goal is to answer students ’ questions about their sport and demonstrate the quali ties of a drug-free athlete. “You don’t need drugs to be an athlete,” Westenrieder said. ncuuiA saiu uic; aie iiav ing a positive effect. “They (students) see someone older and in sports, not drugs,” Hedrick said. Unlike parents and police, athletes can identify with students and show them they can’t succeed with drugs or steroids, only with education and hard work, Hedrick said. Jeff Hooper, a track team member, said he participated because he felt it was his first opportunity to do some thing for kids. “If what we’re doing will keep one kid off drugs, it will suit its pur pose,” Hooper said. Sara Offringa, a member of the UNL women’s basketball team, said the success of the athletes centered on the fact that they’re not authority figures - they’re not around every day tell ing the kids what to do. Instead of rebelling against the advice of an athlete, young people want to prove that they can do it, she said. Bartck said that most students want to know when the DARE program would come to their school. They’ve already heard about it and now they want to participate, he said. Wick Great Hall to be dedicated The Great Hall of the Univer sity of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Wick Alumni Center will be renamed this weekend in the memory of a 1916 graduate who gave more than S4.6 million to the university dur ing the last 20 years of his life. The dedication ceremony for the‘‘Pascale Great Hall” will be at 8 p.m. today at the Wick Center. The late Capt. Henry Pascale and his wife Frances of Rumson, N.J., gave more money in living gifts, all in the form of common stocks, to his alma mater than any alumnus. Pascale died Feb. 1 at the age of 95. Mayor: New Store Needed From Staff Reports Lincoln Mayor Bill Harris her alded the arrival of a new store in Lincoln as an accelerator to down town revitalization.
