Police educate vulnerable students
CRIME from page 1
“There are problems and (young
students) need to know about them,”
Cauble said. “It’s working together,
which is what I have been talking about
all along. It’s one of the reasons why I
think we have one of the safest cam
puses around.”
According to the UNL police, the
campus is safer for women than men.
And men make it more unsafe than
women.
Men have more bikes stolen, more
cars stolen, are arrested more for drug
and alcohol offenses and are arrested
for and victimized by assault more than
women.
Women lead men in only three cat
egories. Women commit more forger
ies than men, report more obscene
phone calls and are reporting more
cases of indecent exposure than men.
Cauble said many of the differences
are societal differences in the way men
and women are raised. He said that men
as perpetrators was not surprising, but
men as victims was unexpected.
Some of the differences were steep.
For bike larcenies in 1995,78 per
cent of the victims were men, 22 per
cent were women. In 1996 so far, 69
percent of the victims were men, 30
percent were women and 1 percent
were unclaimed. Cauble said more men
ride bikes, which explained the differ
ence.
More men reported larcenies from
cars in 1995 — 67 percent men to 27
percent women. Six percent were un
claimed. In 1996, 66 percent of men
have been victims, 32 percent have
been women and 2 percent have gone
unclaimed. Cauble said on the whole,
men put more money into cars than
women.
“When you see people driving
around with the big stereos, whb’s driv
ing them?” he asked. “It’s the men.”
Thieves “tend to window-shop in
parking lots,” Cauble said, which is
why men appear more as victims of
larceny from cars.
More men were victims of larceny
from buildings than women, too, but
the difference was not as great. Fifly
four percent of the victims were men;
42 percent were women, and 4 percent
were unclaimed.
When it comes to thefts from resi
dence hall rooms, Cauble said, women
have jewelry stolen, men have stereos
stolen.
Men are far more likely to be ar
rested for a liquor or drug violation
than women. In fact, as of Sept. 13,
1996, not one woman had been cited
on campus for narcotics or driving
while intoxicated. Fourteen men have
been cited for narcotics, 16 for DWI.
Minor in possession statistics for*
1995 and 1996 are closer. Men have
been charged in four of the seven cases.
Again, Cauble said, societal differ
ences in the way men and women were
raised could explain the sharp differ
ences.
“Everybody uses rites of passage,
and I don’t know if I agree with that,”
he said. Cauble said men drink to ex
cess because of societal pressures.
Often when men get in trouble for
excess drinking, Cauble gets a call
from a father, asking him why he is
being hard on his son for “boys being
boys.”
“Society kind of dictates... that part
of growing up and being a man is go
ing out and drinking, and that’s unfor
tunate,” Cauble said. “It’s more of a
man trying to show his manhood.”
Student explains criteria
for TA-selection screening
By Tasha E. Kelter

A student tired of hearing com
plaints about teaching assistants
who do not speak English as their
native language addressed ASUN
Wednesday night.
Rick Grady, a junior English
major, said he wanted to explain
how teaching assistants were se
lected after hearing several com
ments regarding the assistants.
*Tve heard things like, ‘1 can’t
understand them,’ to ‘They’re
great,’ to ‘What are they doing in a
classroom?”’ Grady said to the As
sociation of the Students of the
University of Nebraska.
A prospective teaching assistant
must take several tests, he said, in
cluding a spoken presentation in the
assistant’s area of study.
The presentation is given in
front of a five-member panel. If the
panelists don’t approve die presen
tation, the prospective assistant will
have to take an English as a Second
Language class or get a tutor before
applying again.
ASUN
He encourages any students
frustrated by their teaching
assistant’s speech to first talk to the
assistant, and then to the department
head.
In other ASUN news, Kim
Hobson, student organization con
sultant with the Office for Student
Involvement, introduced tentative
plans for a student organization ori
entation.
ASUN president Eric Marintzer
and John Wiechmann, Committee
for Fees Allocation chairman, will
attend the Big 12 Student Govern
ment conference in Columbia, Mo.,
this weekend.
Also, more than 15 campus
committee appointments were
made. Speaker of the Senate Curt
Ruwe said he interviewed for more
than 20 hours last week. .
The Law College applications
are out and will be due sometime
within the next two weeks.
ASUN also approved two by
laws and one senate bill, which cor
rected organization titles.

announcement’s approach of encour
aging intolerance.
“It’s up to all of us to confront do
mestic violence,” Kriss said, “and each
person in the stadium has something
to say about it.”
Airing the announcement in a
crowded stadium will reach more men
than television would, McPherson said.
The taped announcement was offered
to all colleges with big screens in the
stadiums. While a handful declined to
broadcast the announcement, he said,
UNL was the first to accept. ~
Keith Zimmer, director of UNL ath
letic academic programs, said it was a
good sign.
“It shows that the Athletic Depart
ment recognizes domestic violence as
a national problem that has no bound
aries,” Zimmer said.
Taking responsibility, McPherson
said, was the idea behind the announce
ment brought to the center by Liz
Claiborne Inc., designer and manufac
turer.of an extensive line of women’s
fashions. The project is funded by Liz
Clflihnmi* Tnr and thp Ti* rtnihnmp
Foundation.
“We’re trying to put responsibility
on men whose fathers, sons, brothers,
uncles, teammates and friends are do
mestically violent,” he said.
Northeastern University’s Center
for the Study of Sport in Society in
Boston seeks to increase awareness of
sport and its relation to society and to
develop programs that identify prob
lems, offer solutions and promote the
benefits of sprat.
Four college athletes, chosen by the
College Football Association and con
ference commissioners, agreed to
speak in the announcement.
They are Matt Russell, inside line
backer for the University of Colorado;
Chad Johnson, quarterback for West
Virginia University; Paul Beckwith,
center for the University of South
Carolina; and James Hamilton, outside
linebacker for the University of North
Carolina. No UNL athletes appear in
the video.
Chris Anderson, UNL sports infor
mation director, said it has not yet been
determined when the announcement
will air during the games but that it is
scheduled fail the Oct. 12 homecom
ing game against Baylor University,
and Oct. 26 against the University of
Kansas.
It will be aired at five schools this
weekend, including the Kansas State
University Stadium in Manhattan,
Kan., during the NU vs. KSU game.
