Green speaks
to NU athletes
ATHLETES from page 1
his job as student judicial affairs offi
cer. He started his job in July, he said,
but he already knows his role at the
university.
“I’m not punitive and I’m not out
to get anyone,” Green said. “The mis
sion here is to educate.”
Green said he knows the pres
sures students face at UNL because
he ran on the track team and attended
classes here from 1963 to 1967. He
graduated with bachelor’s and mas
ter’s degrees in 1967 and 1977,
respectively, but also managed to win
a gold and a bronze medal in sprint
races during Mexico City’s 1968
Olympics.
And he knows that sometimes,
good students make mistakes, he
said, and sometimes those students
deserve a second chance.
But “there are certain things you
don’t forgive,” he said, including acts
of violence and destruction of prop
erty.
Bill Gilmore, Green’s high
school coach from Seattle, attended
Green’s speech Wednesday night.
Gilmore, who coached junior
high and high school track and foot
ball for 27 years, said the evening’s
program sent an important message
to the nation that the NU Athletic
Department cares about the quality
of its athletes as citizens off the play
ing field.
“Bad talk hurts,” Gilmore said,
and the university has received its
share of bad media attention after
athletes made mistakes.
But preventive measures by the
Afhletic Department, such as
Green’s piece-by-piece walk-through
of the code of conduct, will help
Nebraska’s image, he said.
“It’s a new step for the university,
and it’s one that must be taken,” he
said.
Green said he hoped his message
would inspire student athletes to
view themselves as adults at the uni
versity and take responsibility for
their actions both on and off campus.
He was invited to take the same
message to Sigma Nu Fraternity
Sept. 9 and will speak to any other
student group who wants him, he
said.
Green said some students who sit
in his audience will never heed his
warnings or advice.
But “if you are informed about |
things, it makes it much easier for a 1
young person to identify what is cor- ]
rect and incorrect,” Green said.
