Society should focus on changing
violent and abusive behavior used to
obtain power and maintain control,
said a representative of the Rape/
Spouse Abuse Crisis Center.
“We really need to focus on the
assailants... that he is responsible for
his behavior,” said Pat Tetreault, one
of the three speakers on the Domestic
Violence/Sexual Assault Panel. The
Thursday panel was part of Violence
Against Women Awareness Week.
Linda Schwartzkopf, director of
the Student Judicial Affairs Office,
said there is a general need for “edu
cational programming” on sexual abuse
and rape.
She said University of Nebraska
Lincoln police officers, specifically
Cpl. Larry Kalkowski, have spoken
at several fraternities and sororities
and at some of the residence halls
about sexual assault and rape on
campus.
Part of educating the masses about
rape and sexual abuse is letting people
know where they can go and what
they can do after they have been vic
timized, Schwartzkopf said.
Aside from the abuse center, she
said, victims who wish to take action
within the UNL community could j
contact the Student Judicial Affairs
Office, which handles rape and sex
ual assaultcases. Disciplinary actions j
arc taken according to the rules of the
UNL Student Code of Conduct and j
Disciplinary Procedures.

According to the code of conduct,
students found in violation of the code
may be sanctioned by a number of
actions, including warning, restitu
tion, probation behavioral require
ment and suspension.
Schwartzkopf said judicial affairs
has handled three cases of rape thus
far in the 1990-91 academic year.
The Rape/Spouse Abuse Crisis
Center has documented about 70 cases
of rape or sexual abuse of UNL stu
dents this academic year.
Tetreault said it is important to
realize that many women are afraid to
use the legal process because they
don’t want to go through the trauma
of recounting the event.
In addition, Schwartzkopf said,
students often don’t want to com
pound an already difficult situation
vith legal hassles.
“Gelling students to come forward
s very difficult,” she said.
Tetraull said the hesitancy to re
Kort a rape is a result of the victim’s
fear of retaliation.”

reported; we declared the athletes
ineligible for competition and asked
the NCAA for an interpretation,” Papik
said.
On March 12, the NCAA told
Nebraska that the loans were in viola
tion of the extra benefits rule, Papik
said, based on the low interest rates
country in the world.
“. . . and if you think you can’t
make it here, I know that you can’t
make it anywhere else. In spite of
whatever you do, young people, don’t
ever quit. Don’t ever give up,” he
said.
To make America a better place,
and open repayment schedules of the
loans. Subsequently, Farmer and
Ramos were ruled ineligible for
competition.
Papik said the university then filed
the necessary papers with the NCAA
to ask for a restoration of Fanner’s
eligibility so he would be able to
participate in the NCAA tournament.
After a NCAA study. Farmer’s resto
ration was granted the afternoon of
Nebraska’s first-round NCAA tour
nament game.
he said, people must come together
and be honest with each other instead
of hiding behind “fake smiles.”
“Together we stand and divided
we fall. We must come together as
one, as human beings who have learned
mutual respect for one another.” he
said.
Papik said he wanted to make it
clear that “the NCAA complimented
Nebraska for its timely response in
the matter and for acting properly in
self-reporting.”
Papik said that when the NCAA
review of the incident is complete,
both players’ eligibility presumably
will be granted for next season.
The NCAA investigation is nearly
complete, but is being hampered
because of FBI seizure of some of
Pccry’s legal documents, Papik said.
