reputation."
Other guards might have to be
trained to deal with crowds.
“It’s second nature to us,” Peters
said.
“We know how to settle things
down before they become too in
tense," Scusa said. “Crowds can be
very powerful, especially if they’re
working for a single goal, like tear
ing down goal posts."
Their training as bicycle police
men also may have had a hand in
being chosen.
Scusa said during training, they
learned how to do things on bikes
such as go up and down stairs.
Bicycles are excellent for ma
neuvering through crowded areas
quickly, Peters said, which might be
something they will do in Atlanta.
Scusa and Peters both will be in
Atlanta for 21 days. They are using
vacation time, but Scusa said the
university would not mind their
long absence.
“We have the chance to bring
back what we learn in Atlanta,” he
said.
They will be staying for free in
the Olympic Village, and all of their
food will be provided, although
they do not get paid.
They have received donations
from two Lincoln groups — the
Fraternal Order of Police and
UNL’s Greek Affairs — to help
cover expenses such as airplane
tickets,
Mary Ann Holland, staff assis
tant at Greek Affairs, said the of
fice wanted to help pay back the two
men for what they had offered to
greek students.
UNL police give safety and se
curity presentations to greek houses
and have a good rapport with the
greek system.
“We had money left over from
greek week, so we wanted to give
it to them as a token,” Holland said.
“The greek system wanted to do
something very nice.”
Only one other officer from Ne
braska will be going to the Olym
pics, Peters said.
Although they’re not sure ex
actly what they will be doing when
they get there — whether it be su
pervising or taking tickets — Pe
ters said he thought of one thing he
would like to do.
“I’d really like to watch the
Dream Team play.”
