Merritt said the court might place
Baldwin in a less restrictive setting if
it was consistent with the public’s
safely, because Baldwin was still con
sidered dangerous.
“On the evidence presented, the
court cannot, and docs not, find that
Mr. Baldwin is no longer dangerous
to himself or others, by reason of his
mental illness or defect,” Merritt
wrote.
Merritt said the treatment plan must
include:
• a structured group 1 iving arrange
ment.
• a program for Baldwin’s emo
tional, physical and vocational needs.
• a plan to ensure proper intake of
prescribed medications.
• a goal toward independent liv
ing.
• a method to report any problems
concerning Baldwin to the Lancaster
County Attorney’s office.

pcared to be no peaceful solution to
the crisis.
“I think Yeltsin had to (use force),
given what has happened in the last
few weeks there,” McClelland said.
“If you’re Boris Yeltsin, and you have
both Rutskoi and Achalov calling for
an armed revolt against you, there’s
only one way to oppose it: using armed
force.”
Because Russians have never dealt
with democracy, McClelland said
Yeltsin could serve as a benevolent,
semi-dictatorship for a while.
“Russians need strong leadership.
The people who want it to be demo
cratic just can’t follow the U.S. model
to a V"
McClelland said Yeltsin’s appar
ent victory could “go to his head, but
he thought it was unlikely that Yeltsin
would abuse his authority.
“Power docs sometimes corrupt,”
he said. “But while Parliament has
been out of commission, Yeltsin has
been passing economic reforms that
were badly needed, and 1 think that’s
good.”
Bikes

said. An employee recognized the
bike from a description left by a bike
theft victim.
Students can’t be too careful, he
said, and should consider using more
than one lock.
Maurer said the best combination
for campus was using a U-shaped lock
and a 5-foot cable lock. The cable
lock, which has two loops on each
end, should be woven between both
wheels and then looped through the
U-lock.
Cable locks arc made of a braided
mesh weave that is difficult to cut, he
said. Cutting only pushes down the
mesh instead of making a clean snip,
he said.
“It takes a super long time to cut,”
he said.
Thieves use a tool similar to a pipe
cutter to break through mesh locks, he
said.
U-locks are almost indestructible,
he said. The locks can be opened, he
said, but a thief would need a good
deal of time to break into them.
Padlocks are the easiest lock to
break, Maurer said.
“Padlocks just get snipped,” he
said.
Police reports show standard cable
and steel chains to be common among
those broken by thieves.
Maurer said a pair of regular cut
ters from any hardware store would
bust through a padlock.
Such cutters are inconspicuous, he
said, and can be hidden in a backpack.
A thief can appear to be unlocking his
bike, Maurer said, when in reality,
he’s stealing it.
“ You get a dude w i th a book bag on
and you think, ‘Oh yeah, he’s proba
bly just getting on his bike,’” Maurer
said.
Bushing said students and faculty
members should call police immedi
ately if they notice suspicious activity
near bikes.
Students should not try to confront
suspected thieves, he said. Instead,
they should contact pol ice so an arrest
can be made, Bushing said.

“The phone referencing has gone
very well — very smoothly,” Funk
said via telephone hookup from his
ofTicc in Dallas. “I’m looking forward
to hearing the results of those refer
ences.”
The presidential search committee
was formed when Masscngale an
nounced in January that he would hot
seek to extend his contract.
The 18-mcmber search committee
is co-chaired by Regent Nancy
O’Brien of Waterloo ami formerVe
gent Rob Raun of Minden. It includes
one student and several officials from
the four campuses in the NU system.
Joe Rowson, a NU spokesman,
said one of the group’s final tasks —
interviewing the remaining candidates
— would probably take place later
this month.
Most likely, Reason^aid, tEecan
didate interviews would be conduct
ed outside Nebraska to protect appli
cants’ confidentiality.
The committee is keeping up with
its self-set finalist deadline in mid
November. The committee plans to
submit four to eight candidate names
to the NU Board of Regents by then,
Milliken said.
The regents will review the com
mittee’s final choices and name
Massengale’s successor sometime in
December, he said.
