By LOU ORTIZ Register Staff Writer Some male police officers kept their distance from a female colleague after she filed a sexual harassment complaint against two male officers, a police sergeant testified Wednesday. "There was a rumor that Debbie kept a tape recorder and that she kept notes on everybody," said Sgt. Michael Leeper, who became Deborah Lynch's supervisor after she accused officers Timothy Lynch and Merlin Nielsen of harassment. Leeper testified in Polk County District Court during the second week of the trial in Lynch's lawsuit against the city. The lawsuit accuses the city of failing to protect Deborah Lynch's right to work as a police officer in an environment free of sexual harassment.

Lynch, 29, charges that she was subjected to sexual name-calling and was asked to have sex while on duty by officers Timothy Lynch and Nielsen. The Lynches are not related. Leeper said some male officers stayed away from Deborah Lynch because they felt uncomfortable around her after she filed the harassment complaint with the department's internal affairs division in March 1985. He said the officers believed Deborah Lynch was gathering evidence for her lawsuit, and they felt that if they made a mistake in her presence it would be used against them. Police Chief William Moulder testified earlier that he suspended Timothy Lynch and Nielsen for 30 days without pay for harassing Deborah Lynch by "asking her to perform improper acts and basically degrading her as a woman." Moulder also disciplined the offi- cers' supervisor, Sgt.

Dale Anderson, by suspending him for 15 days without pay. Earlier in the trial, Deborah Lynch testified that she had told Anderson about the harassment three times, but he wouldn't put a stop to it. Deborah Lynch also has testified that after she filed the complaint, she was subjected to retaliation, including a delay in response to her call for assistance while she was working. And she said Lt. Jack Rose once ordered her to pick up human feces off the street.

Moulder testified Tuesday that he put an end to the harassment of Deborah Lynch and that her complaints of retaliation were investigated but were unfounded. He also said officers know and have a responsibility to wait for their backups on police calls. Rose testified Wednesday that he would never order an officer to pick up human feces off a street. "Before ordering somebody to do that, I'd go and do it myself," he said. Rose, who was Deborah Lynch's supervisor, said Lynch never told him she was being harassed by Timothy Lynch or Nielsen, who has since resigned.

Rose said a sexually derogatory comment once was made by officer John Scarpino at roll call, and Rose took steps to stop the practice. Deborah Lynch became embroiled in controversy and was reprimanded in 1986 for having an intimate relationship with Capt. Ronald Babb, who subsequently was suspended for 30 days without pay. Before her relationship with Babb, Lynch had an affair with officer Arthur McBride for seven years, which ended in 1984. Newborn in car's front seat surprises moth DICK GILBERT M.

GILBERT M. By CYNTHIA HUBERT Register Staff Writer When Jinger Rumbaugh spotted a tiny bundle on the driver's side of her Ford Escort at North Park Mall in Davenport Tuesday night, she wondered whether it was a bomb or a stash of drugs. Then she took a closer look, and saw two tiny feet sticking out of a blanket. "There was a beautiful baby boy in there," Rumbaugh said Wednesday. The abandoned baby was "stark naked" and appeared healthy, she said.

"A dish towel was lying across his umbilical cord. But he was completely quiet and content. His eyes were wide open, and he was looking around at everybody," Rumbaugh said. Paramedics were called, and the boy was taken to a hospital, where he was reported to be in good condition. He was placed in the custody of the Davenport Department of Human Services while police searched for his mother.

Rumbaugh, who manages a Worths Fashions store in the mall, finished work at 9 p.m. Monday and walked through the parking lot with a friend. When she reached her car, she was taken aback, she said. "I left my doors unlocked and my windows open, and I saw this blanket all bundled up in the driver's seat. It frightened me.

I got another employ- ee, Andrea Moldt, and she drove to the passenger side of the car. Then we saw the feet sticking out." Both women are pregnant, Rumbaugh said. Uncertain of the condition of the infant, Rumbaugh and Moldt called a mall security officer, who unveiled the dark-haired, dark-eyed boy. The Department of Human Services declined to discuss the baby or his whereabouts, citing laws requiring confidentiality. Mike Carthy, a spokesman for the department, said abandoned children generally remain in the agency's care for up to a year, If the parents cannot be located, he said, adoption proceedings can begin.

Sgt. Donald Cartwright of the Davenport Police Department said anyone who knows anything about the baby's abandonment or who saw "anything suspicious" between 7 and 9 p.m. in the mall parking lot should call the department's detective division. Rumbaugh said her heart goes out to the child and his mother. "I personally feel sorry for the woman that she felt there was no other way out," she said.

"I want to tell her that there are people who can help her. She may feel like she's alone, but there are churches, organizations, even private individuals. will view be rial tery. born lived for ing PAUL A. MICKLE Old guard Aerosmith's lesson: Loud isn't enough By RUSSELL KARNS Register Staff Writer AMES, IA.

The old guard and the new wave of heavy-metal rock music met at Hilton Coliseum Wednesday night, and the old-timers educated the youngsters in how heavy-metal should be performed. Aerosmith, one of the all-time great monster bands of rock, showed newcomers Guns N' Roses that loud is just a part of heavy-metal music. You also have to have a little flair. Guns N' Roses has a lot of potential, but compared to the veteran band of bad boys from Boston, they have a ways to go. Aerosmith has been near the top of the rock pile since bursting on the scene 15 years ago, and the band has gotten better with age.

Guns N' Roses may have learned a few lessons after watching the masters of metal perform. Most of Guns N' Roses' music is composed of thrashing guitars and bashing drums. The quintet has the look of a bunch of street punks. They live up to their image. Songs like "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Rocket Queen" were typical of what this band represents decadent sex and violence.

Even though the music was simple and basic, it was played with passion, and the band drew a roaring response from the crowd of 12,107. Wraith-like lead singer W. Axl Rose, sporting tattoos on his arms, slithered around the stage like a snake while spewing out venomous vocals most of the night. He and the rest of the band showed a flash of brilliance on "Sweet Child o' Mine." On this mournful number he gave indications that he really can carry a tune, given the right material. When Aerosmith took the stage, it was like heavy-metal heaven.

This five-piece band has been cranking out hits for years, and the experience and MUSIC REVIEW professionalism shone like the awesome light show used throughout its set. Aerosmith's music is like a lot of heavy metal in that it dwells on sex, but they have a sense of humor that helps keep the music from getting dreary. They also lace their music with some rhythm and blues, which makes for an authentic rock style. The main men in Aerosmith are vocalist Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry. Perry provided a burning guitar that fueled the band's beat, and Tyler kept the crowd amused with his prancing antics.

Tyler was dressed in tight black slacks and a flowing black gown that whipped around like a rag in the wind as he danced madly around the stage, much to the crowd's delight.
