A police officer was assaulted
Saturday night by a man who was
later found in possession of meth
amphetamine and a concealed 9
mm pistol.

to arrest someone found in posses

between 12th and 13th streets about
11 p.m.
Lincoln Police Sgt. Ann

traffic violation. When Bolkovac
was walking him to her cruiser, he
pushed her and ran away.
one uuascu uun, oau a struggle
ensued on the southeast comer of
12th and B streets. During the
struggle, Douglass put Bolkovac in
a headlock, and Bolkovac bit
Douglass to get him to release her.
Douglass released Bolkovac
and started to run. She tackled him,
and he started kicking her head and
shoulders.
Bolkovac finally got him into
custody, but not before he broke her
collarbone and injured her neck
and throat.
Officers later found a fannypack
in the front seat of Douglass’ car
that had a bag of methamphet
amine and a 9 mm pistol.

Larceny
Two men distracted employees
of a drug store Sunday afternoon
while another man took six bottles
of a pain medication that is usu
ally prescribed to chemotherapy
patients. -
Heermann said the pharmacist
at the Family Drug, 6891A St., told
police that three men came into the
store on Sunday afternoon. One
asked her where the Ace bandages
were, and another asked a differ
ent employee for help.
The pharmacist said a third
man was unattended. When the
men left the store without buying
anything, she went back to check
the shelves. She found that six
bottles of Dilaudid were missing.
Dilaudid is a prescription pain
medication used for chemotherapy
patients. It can cause side effects,
including nausea, dizziness, rashes
and constipation.
Domestic assault
An argument between boyfriend
and girlfriend ended with the man
getting stabbed and police getting
two different stories.
Kimberly Giosano was jailed
for second-degree assault for alleg
edly stabbing her boyfriend in the
arm with a butcher knife. David
Bertram, of 1709 B St., received
stitches at Bryan Memorial Hospi
tal for a 2-inch stab wound.
Officers were called to
Giosano’s house at 3300 S. 11th St.
on a domestic disturbance. The sto
ries they got about the fight differ
in that Giosano reported being
choked by Bertram, then getting
scared and grabbing the butcher
knife.
Bertram said there was an ar
gument and then Giosano grabbed
the knife, Heermann said. She said
Bertram reported no choking.
The reports have been referred
to the county attorney, Heermann
said.

Greek Week gets started
with AIDS lecture at Lied
AIDS from page 1
“People know the risks and dan
gers of alcohol and sex. They have to
make their own decisions,” Goldman
said.
The presentation swayed from the
serious, using humor to present its
concepts.
“We didn’t come here to make you
sad,” Sullivan told the audience. “That
would be a bad way to spend the
evening. We want to make you laugh.”
They discussed everything from
condom use to a list Sullivan called
“TJ.’s Scale of Drunken Hominess.”
The scale discussed the four stages of
drunkenness and which inhibitions are
forgotten in each.
The humor and open approach, the
n=- - =
pair said, were more effective.
Blake Wentz, a sophomore ac
counting major, agreed. Wentz is
member of Theta Xi fraternity.
“When I first heard about it,
thought that I would hear the same oli
drab and statistics,” Wentz said. “Be
I thought it was really educational,
think a lot of people will remembe
it.”
Dusty Vaughan, a freshman ii
general studies, agreed and said th
performance was informative and en
tertaining.
“It was a lot better than the othe
things. I could relate to it better tha
if a 40-year-old man came and talk©
to us about it,” said Vaughan, also
member of Theta Xi.

Another bill would put $100 mil
lion of the surplus into a fund that
would be spent — either on schools
or local government — after the lids
go into effect, Kilpatrick said.
These lids and property taxes
might seem far off for college students
because most don’t own property, said
Bill Lock, an analyst in Warner’s of
fice. But because the state’s money will
most likely be going to help schools
and local governments, others in line
for the money might have to miss out,
he said.
“The university is making a pitch
for more state money,” Lock said.
“They’re all competing for the same
money, and one could fall by the way
side.”
The university had requested

maintenance and renovating buildings
such as Richards Hall.
Sen. Dan Lynch of Omaha, chair
man of the building maintenance com
mittee, is one who says he would like
to see the money going to renovation
of state buildings.
Now would be the “best time” to
use the money to fix up crumbling

buildings in Nebraska, he said.
If schools consolidate, they will not
need as much money; and the bill pro
posing $100 million commitment to
schools would be an ongoing cost, he said.
“It seems silly to me,” Lynch said.
