Sober
Continued from Page 1
“What it’s like to celebrate so
briety and what it means to be
you.”
At times, Goodale joked with
the audience about the “Do It
Sober” event. Though many stu
dents showed up for the speech,
Goodale said some probably
would go to the bars after his
speech ended. Goodale received
a standing ovation at the end of
his speech.
“I thought his speech was
very truthftil and had a lot of
meaning behind it,” freshman
Allison Olson said.
The event was sponsored by
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Frater
nity and Gamma Phi Beta So
rority. Doug Stobbc and Julie
Koch were co-organizers of the
event.
“This was a message I hope
all 1,800 students took to heart,”
James Gricsen. vice chancellor
of student affairs, said.

Inmates also could make telephone
calls whenever they wanted, he said.
Some inmates talked on the telephone
for two or three hours, he said.
“You can’t let the time do you,” he
said. “You have to accept the situa
tion you’re in and make the best of it
because you’re not going to change
it.”
Lerma said following the unwrit
ten rules made by the inmates in
prison was more important than fol
lowing official prison rules.
“Those rules won’t kill you,” he
said. “Ifyou see something, you didn’t
see it. If you heard something, you
didn’t hear it.”
Lerma said it was important for
inmates to show respect to each other.
Borrowed money was paid back on
time, he said.
Reachiiig a hand across the food
tray of another inmate was disre
spectful and the cause of many fights,
he said.
Lerma said the idea that convicted
murderers reign at the top of the
social order in prison was a myth.
Instead, inmates who have the most
money are at the top, he said.
Convicted child molesters are at
the bottom of the social order, Lerma
said.
“I don’t think there has ever been
an inmate who can understand how
anyone can harm a child,” he said.
Convicted child molesters are subject
to ridicule and violence from other
inmates, he said.
Since Lerma was released, he has
made many positive changes in his
life, he said.
Lerma said he had been admitted
to UNL before he was released from
prison. He now is a full-time student
and wants to attend law school some
day.
However, he said, adjusting to ci
vilian and college life sometimes was
difficult. After he was released, Lerma
said, he still woke up at 4:30 a.m. It
also still bugs him when other stu
dents reach across his food tray in the
residence hall dining rooms.
Lerma said he grew in experience
and knowledge from his prison expe
rience.
“It’s not book knowledge, but be
ing-there knowledge.”
