The letter was mailed from an unknown group, said Becky Wild, director of student services at Lin coln Public Schools. There have been no tattoos found in city schools. “This is not substantiated at all,” Wild said Tuesday. “These type of chain letters come out every two years.” Lincoln police Lt. Duaine Bul lock said he assumed the tattoo would be similar to the kind chil dren lick and stick on their arms. The LSD, which usually is sold in a powdered form, could either be absorbed through the skin or the tongue, he said. “You never know what someone’s going to put LSD on,” Bullock said. Information about the chain let ter was reprinted in a newsletter that was sent to elementary school parents. Wild said. Parents were told to be aware of “comic strip tattoos,” she said. “Generally this alarms parents more than it educates them,” Wild said. Although there have been no re ports of tattoos. Wild said, parents should notify authorities if they see their children with this type of tat too. But Bullock said parents should not be worried about LSD. “I don’t think there is a big epi demic,” he said, “We’ve seen this before.” Food drive scheduled for same By Tasha E. Kelter , Staff Reporter When you go to next week’s foot ball game, remember to take your can of pork and beans. Lincoln Food Bank’sannual “Kick in-a-Can” event is scheduled for the Oct. 14 game against Missouri. “Kiek-in-a-Can” is a program that started 12 years ago to help raise food and supplies for Lincoln’s needy, said Wende Baker, executive director of the Food Bank of Lincoln. The drive averages at least 2,000 cans each year. Themoslprofitableyearwas 1993, when more than 4,000 cans and about $2,500 was collected. Baker said the Food Bank would like to beat that record this year. “A lot depends on people remem bering their canned goods,” Baker said. After food is collected, the Food Bank distributes it to more than 75 charities in the Lincoln area, she said. “We’re a central collection agency,” Baker said. A lot of the food is distributed to the workingpoor —those who aren’t unemployed but aren’t making enough money to make ends meet, she said. Fans should bring only non-perish able canned foods such as meats, beef stew, soup and canned fruit. High protein foods like peanut butter also are needed, Baker said. The Food Bank also needs per sonal-care products such as shampoo. soap, detergent and toothbrushes. “It’s a nice thing to get in an emer gency food box,” she said. The number of canned goods is expected to increase this year because of a new program implemented by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Canned goods can be purchased at Broyhill Fountain before the game Saturday. University Food Stores will pro vide the canned goods, said Viann Schroeder, publications management director. No profit will be made from the sales. “It’s a wonderful new twist that the university came up with,” she said. “It should make a big difference.” 1 ■ ~~i The Summer Before The Summer Of Love e stories in The Summer Before ie Summer Of Love seductively mbine a sense of life's barren >rrow with a sensual fullness, arly Swick is consistently original id unflinching in her observations f the dynamics that develop be veen friends and lovers, parents ind children, husbands and wives. >wick is a well known Nebraska author and teacher.
