The best precautions are using common
sense and being aware of surroundings,
Kalkowski said.
“The most dangerous place is the place
where you decide to drop your guard and take
a risk,” he said.
Kalkowski said students should follow the
same safety tips that police always have sug
gested.
Walking alone, he said, can cause problems
for anyone. Places with lights, people and
activity are the safest areas, he said.
Kalkowski said it was a good idea to alter
commonly driven routes if a safe, alternate
route was available. But it is unsafe to take a
dark, country road just for the sake of driving a
new route, he said.
The best option to take when drivers think
they a^e being followed is to drive to a place
with lights and people, he said. . .
Kalkowski warned against driving home or
to a friend’s house because the stalker then
would know where to find the driver.,

general satisfaction with UNL, the university’s
effort to support minority concerns, and posi
The most important element of safety, he
said, is acknowledging that anyone can be a
victim.
“Every victim is someone who thought that
it was going to happen to someone else,” he
said, “and then it happens to them.”
Lancaster County Sheriff Tom Casady also
said parking cars in well-lit areas always was a
good idea.
Locking car doors when leaving a car, keep
ing doors locked while driving and checking
the back seat before entering a car are other tips
to keep in mind, Casady said.
The Campus Escort Service is another way
for students to assure safety.
Matt Hammons, president of the Residence
Hall Association, said the escort service was
available every Monday through Thursday from
6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. ^
“We really encourage people to use the
service,” he said, “especially with what’Sgoing
on around here lately.” '
Hammons said more students had been us

Baldwin’s therapy focuses
on personal care, hygiene
By Susie Arth
Senior Reporter
Former Nebraska football player Andrew
Scott Baldwin has set out on his long road to
recovery at an Omaha medical center, officials
said last week.
Antonio Manahan, medical director of
Immanuel Rehabilitation Center and Baldwin’s
doctor at Immanuel Medical Center, said
Baldwin was undergoing a combination of
physical and occupational therapy.
Baldwin, who was shot Sept. 5 during a
struggle with two Omaha police officers, was
transferred to Immanuel from St. Joseph’s
Medical Center Sept. 21 so he could receive
psychological and physical care in the same
building.
The injury, Manahan said, left Baldwin para
lyzed below the chest, but his arms, hands and
fingers still function properly. v *
So far, Manahan said, the treatment has
concentrated on strengthening Baldwin’s up
per body so that he will be able to operate his
wheelchair independently and maintain his
balance in a silting position.
Now, he said, therapy is focusing on reha
bilitating Baldwin so he can dress and feed
himself, and take care of his personal hygiene.
Manahan said he expected physical treat
ment to enable Baldwin to take care of himself.
And eventually, he said, Baldwin may be
able to drive a car.
Manahan said he was uncertain if Baldwin
ever would be able to walk with crutches.
Baldwin has been taking an experimental
drug called Sygen since he was admitted to St.
Joseph’s, he said. The drug’s purpose is to
regenerate the spinal cord, but no signs of
recovery have been observed yet, Manahan
said.
Baldwin had been in good spirits since his
arrival at Immanuel, Manahan said.
“So far, Scott has been very cooperative and
very nice,” he said.
Manahan said he expected Baldwin to re
main at Immanuel for at least six months and
then continue outpatient treatment.
Stan Moore, medical director of Immanuel
Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Center,
said he was monitoring Baldwin closely for
signs of depression.
Moore said Baldwin realized treatment was
necessary and he was motivated to improve his
^condition.
Baldwin asked doctors to “push him” during
his therapy, he said.
Moore said Baldwin was frustrated with his
condition, but had not shown signs of another
breakdown.
Baldwin still is taking lithium carbonate, an
anti-depressant, to combat any possible mood
swings, he said.
“To date I have not seen any psychological
problems that would interfere with his rehabili
tation,” Moore said. “Obviously (Baldwin) is
frustrated, but no more than anyone else with a
life-changing injury.”

that social problems in the country
were virtually non-existent.
“They told us that there are no
homeless, no unemployed, none
without free medical care, no
beggars and no children without
schools in Cuba,” he said.
“And from what I saw firsthand,
that was true.”
Hewes said he was impressed
with Cuba’s social achievements.
“Their accomplishments have
been outstanding for a poor country
— certainly much better than their
political advances,” he said.
Hewes said he and other group
members heard only a few com
plaints from Cubans.
“One woman at a Catholic Mass
told us that things were better here
before (President Fidel) Castro,” he
said. “Another time, a group of
street musicians told us that they
were hungry — and repressed.”
Otherwise, Hewes said, Cubans
were friendly toward his group and
inquisitive.
“People would mistake me for a
Spaniard or an Englishman,” he
said. “I’d say, ‘No,
norteamericano,’ or North Ameri
can.”
When introducing himself,
Hewes said, he was quick to say he
was a member of Pastors for Peace.
“It seems the only Americans
that Cubans see in Havana arc
members of special interest groups
like the CIA,” he said. “I certainly
didn’t want to be mistaken for that.”

approached Hewes while he was
taking a photograph and asked if he
was an imperialist.
“No, not all Americans are
imperialists,” he replied.
From what he could gather from
the Spanish being spoken, Hewes
said, Cubans generally were
satisfied with the Castro regime.
“It’s hard to say if there was any
double talk or innuendoes against
him, or communism,” he said. “But
we never saw any rallies or propa
ganda against him, and I doubt if
there were any.
“Most of his opposition is
probably out of the country.”
Hewes said he couldn’t say
whether Cuba was one of the best
places he had visited. He has
ventured to countries such as
Yugoslavia, the former Soviet
Union, Jamaica, Mexico, Europe
and Australia.
But he said he wouldn’t mind
going back — even if it would
mean posing as a reporter again.

is reported.”
Clifford Walton, an associate pro
fessor of chemical engineering and
adviser of UNL’s boxing club, re
signed last Tuesday after being ar
rested the week before on charges of
third-degree sexual assault of a box
ing club member.
The complaints received by the
office since last week, however, are
separate from the Walton case, Jolly
said.
The sudden rise in sexual harass
ment complaints is alarming, he said.
“It’s an unusually high number,”
Jolly said. “I would say that’s prob
ably more than we usually get in a
month.”
But, he added, ‘‘I think last week
was the beginning and the end of the
rush.”
Jolly said that his office had re
ceived additional complaints concern
ing Walton, but he could not disclose
details of the reports or how many
were made.
Ken Cauble, chief of the UNL
Police Department, said thatalthough
his department did not deal directly
with non-criminal cases of sexual
harassment, eight people have either
called or visited the police depart
ment with questions or information
relating to Walton’s case.
Cauble said UNL police referred
people with sexual harassment com
plaints to the Office of Affirmative
Action and Diversity, unless the case
involved a criminal offense, such as
sexual assault.
Judith Kriss, director of the UNL
Women’s Center, said she had not
received any reports since the Walton
incident. But she said she was “dis
tressed” to hear that four similar com
plaints had been filed.
Kriss said she thought the Women ’ s
Center might not be receiving com
plaints because students and staff
members migh t not know who to con -
tact if they were sexually harassed.
“(The Women’s Center) hope to
be an access point for matters like
that,” she said. “We’re working hard
to let people know that our office is an
appropriate place to contact.”
