Chain letter warns of LSD danger
By Jeff Zeleny
Senior Reporter
A chain letter sent recently to
Lincoln elementary schools warned
parents about the danger of a blue
star tatt(H) that could contain LSD.
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 ,

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.”
