Press Continued from Page 1 decision probably won’t sit very well with you,” she said. “It’s not quite adequate to me even, after the re sponses I’ve heard today.” Pedersen also said she knew that many people would have a racist re sponse to the photograph and that the photograph perpetuated stereotypes that were baseless and completely unfair. “I know that I’m idealistic,” she said. “But I would not censor the photograph because of Scott Bald win’s race.” Pedersen said she also knew the photograph would cause pain for Baldwin and all black men on cam pus, but said it caused her pain as well. “If that photograph causes even one person to rethink the violent na ture of today’s society, I’m satisfied with my decision,” Pedersen said. Other students at the meeting said the Daily Nebraskan’s use of the photograph was only a symptom of larger problems, such as the treat ment of minorities at UNL and the UNL football program’s treatment of student athletes. Some students said the football program at UNL put too much pres sure on black student athletes, and then ignored their problems in the off-season. After the meeting, Green said she hoped the dialogue had helped. But she said she doubted that anything had been accomplished. “I don’t think the meeting solved any problems,” she said. “But it gave people a chance to get some things off their chest.” Simanek Continued from Page 1 showing improvement. Benjamin Gelbcr, the neurosur geon who examined Simanek, said he presumed that she had a basilar skull fracture. The fracture doesn’t appear in CAT, scans or x-rays, but blood is present at the base of the skull — characteristic of such an injury, Gelbcr said. He said Simanek was drowsy and agitated, and that her brain wasn’t functioning normally. She can move her arm s and legs and can talk, but she is confused, Gelbcr said. He said it was too soon to tell the extent of permanent brain damage. “These types of things can be life threatening,” he said, “But the big gest risk of swelling or bleeding is over.” | * Louis Gogela, Jr., the trauma sur geon who examined Simanek the night of the alleged attack, said she did not suffer injuries to other parts of her body as a result of the attack. Simanck’s fianc6, Steve Mountain of Lincoln, said she recognized him for the first time Wednesday and that their plans for a Junc wedding still are on, if she’s willing. Rev. Pal O’Byme, Simanek’s for mer coach and teacher, said, “When she met people, it was as if she had known them all her life.’’ A graduate of the 1986 class of Wahoo-Neumann High School, Si manck was a member of the school’s cross country and track teams. During her senior year, her team was runner-up in the Class C division of the Nebraska State Track Meet. She was a medal winner in that and previous state meets, said the Rev. Michael Christensen, school superin tendent. But teachers and coaches agreed that Simanek’s greatestclaim to fame was her art wort:. Today, three of Simanekfc mu rals, one of them painted with the help of her classmates, still hang in the school, Christensen said. “She was one of the most talented artists in our school’s history,” he said. In her senior year, Simanek re ceived scholarships from Hastings College for her achievements in ath letics, scholastics and art. As a freshman at Hastings Col lege, she was the recipient of the Promising Art Award. She also was a member of the Alpha Chi Scholastic Honorary fraternity and a candidate for the school’s May-Fete queen. asun .~ Continued from Page 1 the Senate Steve Thomlison said he was concerned about “lobbying for a bill that does not have a direct impact onUNL. “But I do think that it indirectly affects UNL, and I support this (ASUN) bill,” Thomlison said. ASUN president Andy Massey also expressed his reservations. “I support this bill,” Massey said. ‘But if I were to testify at the hearing (for LB922), I’d be embarrassed because (implementing multicultural education programs) is something that we need to be doing here. “I have a hard time telling some one else that they need to be (address ing multicultural education) when we haven’t done it here yet,” he said. Since the AS UN bill passed, Dietz said, copies of the bill would be sent to all members of the Education Committee of the Legislature. In other business, Thomlison an nounced that a joint senate meeting between members of student govern ments of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the University of Nebraska at Kearney, the University of Ne braska Medical Center and the Uni versity of Nebraska-Lincoln has been planned for Feb. 19._ Legislature Continued from Page 1 that reviews scholarship appeals. He said that no member of the athletic department currently sat on the com mittee, and students currently did not have the right to have legal counsel present at their hearings. Papik said he did not want to comment on the proposed legislation until he had the opportunity to study and discuss the bill with other mem bers of the athletic department.
