RHA to help fund local speakers
By Irish Spencer
Staff Reporter__
Funds from the Residence Hall
Association will help bring two local
speakers to campus to talk about rape
prevention and overcoming drugs.
RHA members allocated S400 to
bring T. Mami Voss, a local come- i
dian and speaker, to campus during
Rape Awareness Week, which is Nov.
12-19. Voss will speak in the Ne
braska Union Ballroom on Nov. 17.
Scllcck Senator Brad Prall said he
had seen Voss perform.
, “She is funny in a tasteful way,” he
said.

“Last Thursday, during a test we
had in the class, three of us had to get
verbal, we were getting such bad
looks,” he said.
Briggs said one of the other Afri
can-American men in the class acci
dentally bumped into a white woman
silling near him.
“She almost left her skin, she tried
to get away so fast,” he said.
Bates, who declined to have his
picture taken by police, said he thought
the way that investigators contacted
the students was inappropriate.
“I can’t name five black people I
know who would feel comfortable
with a line of questioning like that,”
Bates said. “And why did police not
mind if my picture was taken? Is it
important or not?
“I f it is, then why was I the only one
with the option of not having to be
photographed?”
Another question Bates wants an
swered is how police obtained his
telephone number, which is unlisted.
The 1992-93 UNL Student Direc
tory lists Bales’ correct address, but
the phone number that appears has
been obsolete for more than two years.
said the Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska needed help
financing Voss’ visit.
Several other campus organiza
tions also are sup
porting speakers
during Rape
Awareness Week,
Hammons said.
During the same
week, the RHA
Special Events
Committee will
bring former Nebraska football player
Lynn Finney to campus, Jodi
Veylupek, Ncihardl senator, said.
Finney will talk to students Nov.
17 about overcoming drug and alco
hol problems. The speech is not a part
Bates said.
UNL Police Chief Ken Caublc said
the official report filed by Officer
Barb McGill, who contacted the five
students, said a recorded message was
reached at the listed number that said
the number was no longer in service.
Bates’ current number was at the
end of the message, the report said.
However, repeated calls to the
listed number since last Wednesday
have provided no recording.
A spokeswoman at the Lincoln
Telephone Company said messages
announcing new numbers were only
in service for three months after the
number changes.
She added that the company pro
vided unlisted telephone numbers by
court order only, but would not com
ment on whether there had been such
a mandate to release Bates’ number.
“It just goes to show what extent
they went to get this information,”
Bates said.
McGill would not comment.
Cauble said he had no reason to
suspect that McGill’s report was inac
curate.
“She says she got a recording, and
I’ll stand by her,” Caublc said. “I’m
not going to call her a liar.”
Bates and Briggs said they, as well
as the other three students questioned,
thought the interviews were conducted
poorly and aggressively.

Drug and alcohol program s Finney

schools have been successful,
Veylupck said. She said she expected
50 to 100 students to attend his pro
gram at UNL.
Finney is from Lincoln, she said,
and attends graduate school at UNL.
He will speak to students in the

pay for his visit, which will cost about
SI00, she said.
In other business, Prall announced
that the Campus Escort Service had
moved to its new location in 7005
Selleck Hall. The service also has
extended its hours to 2 a.m., he said.
Briggs said McGill’s interview
with him was flippant.
“She was trying to keep it light
hearted, but as it went along, she got
more aggressive and patronizing,” he
said. “Finally, when she took the pic
ture, she waited for it to develop, then
turned to me and said, ‘So, docs this
look like you?”’
Bates said he returned a call to
McGill after she tried to contact him
while he was in cla>s.
“She identified herself and said,
‘You did know Candice Harms was in
that class, didn’t you?”' Bates said.
“Right there, it was a leading ques
tion. The way she asked things just
made you feel like you were under
suspicion.”
Caublc said last week that the pho
tographs were necessary for “future
information-gathering purposes,’’and
not to identify anyone as a potential
suspect.
Neither Briggs nor Bales said the
police had contacted them again.
Bates said he was not looking for
personal apologies, just a change.
“People like to discount things,”
he said. “A lot of non-minority stu
dents arc thinking,‘Oh, no way would
the police do something like that.’ But
what people need to do is wake up,
lake a look around and say, ‘ Is this the
way it should be.’
“Well, it isn’t.”

From Staff Reports
No one was injured in a robbery
and attempted robbery Saturday night
on the University of Nebraska-Lin
coln City Campus, a police official
said.
UNL Police Capt. Mylo Bushing
said a UNL student was robbed at 6:46
p.m. while he walked along the north
side of Vine Street by the Coliseum.
An unknown number of men attacked
the student, pushed him to the ground
and took his wallet, at a loss of $33.
An attempted robbery occurred at
8:48 p.m. in the parking lot north of
Abel Residence Hall. Bushing said a
pizza delivery man was confronted by
three men with a knife who demanded
his money. The delivery man ran to
escape the suspects, who chased him
for a short lime. The suspects then
fled in an unknown direction. No
money was stolen.

puses will not be shoveled or plowed
this winter, he said.
Dascnbrock said the sidewalk south
of Love Library was one example of
a sidewalk that would be ignored.
Also, any sidewalk with wood
chip or gravel surfaces will not be
cleared, he said.
The interior sidewalks of the cam
puses do not fall under the city ordi
nance that requires all residents to
clear the sidewalks in front of their
homes following a snow, Dascnbrock
said.
But UNL crews will follow the
ordinance for all areas lining streets,
he said.
Dascnbrock urged students, fac
ulty and staff to wear proper footwear
this winter on all areas of campus,
because any area could become slip
pery from snow or ice.
“It is impossible to keep every area
clear at all times,” he said. “There will
always be snow accumulation.”
