wants shift
in perception
of ASUN
By Kara Morrison
Staff Reporter
ndy Sigerson said “politics”, to a lot of
people, was a dirty word.
To him, he said, politics is an educa
tion and an opportunity to make a lot of friends.
Now it will be an almost full-time job.
“I don’t think it’s hit me yet,” Sigerson said
of his being elected the next ASUN president,
as he left the chair behind
current president Andy
Massey’s desk, and pulled
up his own.
: What is the first change in
the Association of Students
of the University of Ne
braska that Sigerson says
needs to be addressed?
The word is spoken before the question is
asked.
“Perception.”
Sigerson said he wanted to change the stere
otype that the Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska “doesn’t do anything.”

NCAA to let Baldwin
i live with NU coach
By Susie Arth „
Staff Reporter _
The NCAA approved a petition
Wednesday to allow Andrew
Scott Baldwin to live with a
Nebraska football coach after he
completes his psychiatric treatment.
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

r emale students need
mentors, scientists say
By Jeremy Fitzpatrick
Senior Reporter
Alack of professors willing to
act as mentors for female stu
dents can be a major obstacle
to women in their academic careers, a
panel of scientists said Thursday in
the Nebraska Union.
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.
Later, during her higher education
