Steve Malloncc, director of legis lative services for the NCAA, said the University of Nebraska petitioned for an “incidental expense waiver” from the NCAA to pay for Baldwin’s medical and legal fees, and to allow him to live with either Coach Tom Osborne or Assistant Coach Frank Solich. The incidental expense waiver was established in 1990 to help studenl L athletes in emergency situations, Mallonce said. “An institution has the right to ask for the waiver in the case of emergen cies or tragic accidents,” he said. ‘The Baldwin case fits into this category because of its special circumstances.” Malloncc said the NCAA already had ruled that Nebraska could pay for Baldwin’s medical expenses and travel expenses for his family during his treatment. It also has allowed Bald win to live with the Rev. Donald Coleman of the Christ Temple Church in Lincoln after he is released. Solich said plans for Baldwin’s housing after his trial still were un certain, but he said he was pleased with the NCAA ruling. “Certainly Scott needs a place to go and stay when he is released,” Solich said. “We’re offering that to him.” Baldwin, a 22-ycar-old junior from Roselle, N.J., faces two felony as sault charges for allegedly beating Gina Simanck and resisting attempts See NCAA on 6 UNMC may get new chancel lor.

The panel, “Women in Science, Obstacles and Opportunities,” was sponsored by the Women’s Resource Center as a part of Women’s Week ’92. Ann Krcjci, a veterinary sciences research technologist at the Univer sity of Ncbraska-Lincoln, said she thought mentors were essential to academic success. “1 think that the value of having a good female mentor — or at least an emphatic mentor— is key,” she said. “One thing it is important to keep in mind is that if you arc a female stu dent, you don’t have that mentor.” Panelists said part of the problem was that while male advisers often did not stand in the way of their female students, they also did not make an effort to help them. Susan Hallbcck, an assistant pro fessor of industrial and management systems engineering, said she enjoyed science and math courses in high school, but was told to pursue other fields by her high school adviser. “He told me, ‘Go into sociology or psychology because that’s where you’ll find a husband,’” she said.
