The Apollo 009 capsule, displayed outside Morrill Hall for nearly 20 years, now sits alongside
tractors in an East Campus warehouse used by Landscape Services.
Apollo 009 waits for restoration
By Adeana Leftin
Senior Editor
Deterioration of the Apollo 009
spacecraft has slowed but hasn’t
stopped, a University of Nebraska
Lincoln official said.
Hugh Genoways, director of mu
seums, said UNL was doing all it
could to save the craft, but few op
tions remained to renovate the cap
sule.
The Apollo 009 was outside the
Nebraska State Museum for nearly 20
years. It suffered damage from hu
midity and extreme temperatures
before it was moved indoors in Janu
ary.
Last year, the Kansas Cosmosphcrc
and Space Center in Hutchinson, Kan.,
offered to give UNL $1.5 million in
space artifacts in exchange for the
capsule.
But the NU Board of Regents
decided last December to keep the
Apollo 009 in Nebraska. It was put
indoors on East Campus to protect it
from another Nebraska winter.
Regent Margaret Robinson of
Norfolk said storing the capsule would
give regents time to decide whether
to restore it, without worrying about
further deterioration.
Genoways said last week that he
didn’t know what plans the university
had for the craft.
“(The cosmosphcre officials)
wanted the opportunity to display the
renovated capsule,” he said. “But since
there is no capsule to renovate, we
can’t do anything.”
Genoways said the cosmosphere
lost the funding it needed to restore
the capsule. The only option left now,
he said, is for UNL to pay the esti
mated $400,000 to move the Apollo
009 to the cosmosphere and have it
restored.
“There really isn’t anybody else
qualified to do it,” he said.
The capsule is being stored in
the Landscape Sendees east ware
house, the only building on campus
big enough to hold it.
The craft is checked periodically
to see if it is still there and still in the
same shape, Genoways said, but the
public can’t view it.
“It’s not serving any purpose,” he
said.
Free testing now available
for sexual assault victims
By Deb McAdams
Staff Reporter
This fall, the University Health
Center will begin providing free and
confidential testing for victims of
sexual assault.
Kunle Ojikutu, the center’s direc
l >rkI I tor, said he hoped
the service en
couraged sexual
assault victims to
^come forward.
The service is
part of the Rape
Education Project,
a joint program with the Association
of Students of the University of Ne
braska and the Women’s Center, he
said.
If victims want to press charges in
a sexual assault, Ojikulu said, they
will be encouraged to go to Lincoln
General Hospital for more detailed
testing. The health center will cover
the testing fees.
The health center also will offer a
reorganized Counseling and Psycho
logical Services department to stu
dents this fall.
The department is the result of an
Suion of the health center’s mental
department and the university’s
Counseling Center, Ojikulu said.
The department’s services include
counseling and therapy for personal
concerns, anxiety, depression, rela
tionships, eating disorders, sexual
identity, communication skills, life
planning and stress management.
Workshops and support groups will
r- " ■
be offered throughout the year.
Appointments are available week
days from 8a.m. to 5 p.m., with hours
extended to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays.
The first three sessions will be free.
Subsequent visits, up to 24, will cost
S10 an hour. More than 25 sessions
will cost $30 an hour.
A counselor is on call for emer
gency or crisis situations.
Also new this year are free hcpati
lis-B immunizations for health aides.
Health aides arc students who pro
vide non-emergency aid in residence
halls, fraternities and sororities.
The health center is offering the
immunization to comply with federal
occupational health and safely regu
lations, Ojikutu said. The cost of the
immunization is about $116.
The health center also is trying to
expand its urgent care services, Ojikutu
said.
dtuueru ices cover vimis 10 uosi^
carc physicians or nurses. Visits to
specialists, tests, X-rays and prescrip
tions will cost significantly less than
in the private sector, Ojikulu said.
In addition to regular medical serv
ices, the health center has a physical
therapy department, dental services,
a dietary and nutrition section, a radi
ology lab, a pharmacy and a visiting
ophthalmologist.
Students may request testing for
sexually transmitted diseases or AIDS
at the health center. Blood is drawn at
the health center, then sent away for
analysis. But Ojikulu recommends
students go to the County Health
Department for these types of tests.
