War and Peace
1 think we can do a lot for peace as individuals. You can
not wait every 100 years for someone like (Anwar) Sadat
to come along. We must make peace ourselves with our
selves. We must make peace with our families. We must
make peace with our neighbors. The problem is the war
going on inside each of us.”

Crosby warns drivers j
' PHONES from page 1
involved in a traffic accident that
police attributed to the use of a cell
phone, had some problems, she said.
“The problem is that it is a diffi
cult law to enforce,” she said.
State Sen. Doug Kristensen of
Minden, chairman of the
Transportation Committee, agreed
that he could not see an easy way to
enforce a cellular phone-use law,
and didn’t think the Legislature
could go as far as banning the use of
phones in cars.
“What the Legislature will strug
gle with is banning specific activi
ties (in the car) rather than covering
them with a general law,” he said.
Eating a hamburger, tying a
necktie or reading a book while dri
ving would all fall under careless
driving, especially when the result is
an accident, Kristensen said, and
laws dealing with careless driving
already exist.
But he said he was still pretty
I certain the topic would be brought
I up again next session.
“I don’t think (the accident) will
reopen anyone’s eyes,” he said. “But
this topic is something that is sure to
come up again.”
Nebraska was the first state to
consider traffic laws dealing with <
cell phones, said C.K. Duryea, j
Crosby’s legislative aide.
“And we were totally laughed out !
of the water at the time,” Duryea
said.
The Digest of Motor Laws, print
ed by the AAA, shows that 45 states
have no rules regulating cellular
phone use in vehicles.
Colorado, Florida, -
Massachusetts, New Mexico and
West Virginia have provisions.
New York is the only state with !
legislation pending. j
With the Nebraska Legislature’s
new session more than four months
away, Crosby has already started to
take steps to make sure such acci
dents don’t happen again. <
Since the accident, she has spo
ken with several constituents as well
as Aliant Communications to sug- •
gest producing public service ;
announcements aimed at informing
people of the dangers of using cell
phones while driving.
“We need to get across to people
that you simply must keep your
attention on the road while driving,”
Crosby said.
Free Pepsi stuff offered

greenspace north of the Nebraska
Union.
Ford and UNL Chancellor James
Moeser will speak briefly about the
beverage alliance during the event
before a drawing for two more keys
to the Jeep.
The week culminates Friday
with an all-day party and afternoon
Pepsi Ball tournament in the Vine
Street loop east of Memorial
Stadium.
Pepsi Ball, a new high-scoring
sport developed for Pepsi nation
wide, pits three teams of four people
against each other on a triangular
field.
Teams try to maneuver a small ;
ball into each other’s goals. Play \
starts with a tip off, and each player ;
can take only three steps before
passing the ball to another teammate
or trying to score.
Ford said Pepsi representatives ;
will distribute game rules and sign
up teams on campus today until the I
tournament starts Friday at noon. *
Tournament winners will receive !
free Pepsi merchandise.
At 6 p.m. Friday, Des Moines- ‘
based band National B will play a
free concert in the loop, and the Jeep ;
will be given away about 6:45 p.m. j
during the concert’s intermission.
Hundreds of free Pepsi drinks, T
shirts, hats and sweat shirts will be
given away each day this week.
156 walk for AIDS cause |
AIDS from page 1
goddamn road to get away from
« i
me. ’•
Field said many peoples’ fear of
AIDS is caused by misconceptions.
“There are a lot of people1 that
think it’s just a gay disease,” he said.
Field said the highest rates of
new AIDS infections are in hetero
sexual women and teen-agers. He
said he thought this trend was
brought on by a combination of
misconceptions and denial.
“There’s too many parents using
the expression ‘not my children,”’
he said.
Cheri Jackson, a participant in
the walk, said she realized intoler
ance was still a problem in Lincoln
when she went door-to-door solicit
ing donations. She said some peo
ple would refuse to donate after
finding out the recipients Were HIV
positive.
As a counselor at a local resi- I
dential drug treatment center,
Jackson said, she has faced many J
misconceptions about AIDS.
“I’ve worked with a lot of peo
ple that didn’t know how you got 1
AIDS, women who thought you
could only get it through anal sex, ”
she said.
* Although Jackson said she has
always been supportive of AIDS >
awareness, the message gained a '
new relevance for six months ago, •
when a close friend died of AIDS.
Jackson, who cared for her 1
friend while he was dying, said the
experience changed her life.
“It was the best I’ve ever felt
about myself,” she said.
As a result, Jackson said, she’s
become newly dedicated to the
AIDS cause.
“I believe we’re here to help
other people,” she said. “It’s an
honor to help someone in need.”
