ust Expand Its 'Duties
l By JIM MOORE
In. a speech at the Student
Council meeting Wednesday,
newly-elected Council Presi
dent Don Burt explained his
program for the coming year.
"The Council must realize
that it has not reached a
stopping place. It must ex
pand its functions in public
relations and public issues
as well as re-define responsi
bilities in faculty and stu
dent interest areas," said
Burt.
The president believes that
the lack of interest and in
itiative within the Council is
In part due to a lack of re
sponsibility of the members.
He feels the "Council should
make more efficient use of
many powers so that every
one will be working contin
ually." In reviewing what he calls
"Policy Projection" for the
coming year, Burt feels that
a definite financial program
must he submitted to the
Board of Regents to solve the
problems of the Council in
this area. "No project is
more vital if we expect to
progress, he said.
Council Associates
Further elaborating h i s
Projection) Burt delved into
the fields of representation bers so that more time could

Dr. Fuenning Says
'Fitness' Facilities
Inadequate at NU
This is the third in a ser
ies of stories on physical
fitness. It 'concerns "fit
ness" facilities at NU.
By TOM KOTOUC
"Even though a few out
lets exist at the University
for physical activity, these
facilities are inadequate for
the University as a whole,"
says Dr. Samuel Fuenning,
medical director of Student
Health.
"They are inadequate be
cause only a small percent
age of the student body can
or do participate at a given
time or day," he said.
A Daily Nebraskan tabula
tion points out the fact that
only 240 students can use
University athletic facilities
at a given time excluding
varsity facilities.
If you have the facilities
In a large variety, students
make use of them voluntar
ily and profitably, as proved
by the 90 per cent use of the
vast facilities at Purdue Uni
versity, said Fuenning.
At Purdue, a building as
large as the coliseum was
built for extracurricular ac
tivities. It has five pools, fa
cilities for indoor sports rang
ing from fencing to judo,
Dr. Fuenning explained.
AF Academy
The Air Force Academy
has such extensive facilities
that the entire corps can
work out at its leisure at the
same time, with seven pools,
50 tennis courts, several foot
ball fields and a five-floor
gymnastic building holding
everything from voile yfcall to
trampolines.
"If we feel that students at
the University need to be bet
ter physically fit than they
are, then we need to increase
the facilities here." said
Fuenning.
A review of University fa
cilities shows students have
handball, pingpong, bowling,
pool, basketball, tennis,,
squash, paddleball, volley !
ball, horseshoes, badmintton,
golf driving and gymnastic
equipment.
"However," noted Ed Hig
genbothem, University intra
mural director, "the Univer
sity does not have too good
outdoor facilities for individ
ual or small group exercise,
other than tennis and horse
shoes." "Facilities in general are

small and individuals must
share them with the varsity
and men and women's physi
cal education classes," he
added.
"Many universities our
size have huge concrete slabs
which can be adapted into a
multiple of uses from tennis
to basketball," Higgenboth
em said.
But how can the University
student stay physically f i t
now, with the existing physi
cal facilities?
'Choose a Sport'
Warren R. Guild, M.D. of
Peter Bent Brigham Hospital j
of Boston says: choose a
sport in which stamina, not
speed, is the object avoid
ing short spurts of work.
And pursue it with regu
larity, not merely on week
ends. A half hour a day of
exercise for six days a week
will get you in awfully good
shape, and it will reduce your
susceptibility to the degener
ative diseases.
And this from a physician
who himself took up mara
thon running at age 31.
Dr. Samuel Fuenning,
medical director of Student
Health suggests that out of
season, many athletes find
10-15 minutes of certain kinds
of exercises helpful in main
taining fitness.
Phys Ed Not Enough
"A physical education class
which meets three times a
week will simply not supply
enough physical activity,"
said Fuenning, who criticized
the belief of some coeds that
t"?o years of physical educa
tion classes are all that are
necessary for physical fit
ness during their University
days.
Dr. Dudley White, the car
diologist who attended form
er President Eisenhower, rec-
ommmends in a recent Life
magazine that an individual
get the equivalent of five
miles of walking or riding a
bicvele each day.
"It is well to remember
that for a healthy person,
sore muscles, fatigue and
breathlessness can be elim
inated by instituting a pro
gram of gradually increasing
regular exercise. Becoming
used to exercise, not by avoid
ing it, is the way to expect
to be free of those unpleasant
symptoms," says Dr. J. Ros
well Gallagher, M.D. in "The
Medical Care of the Adoles
cent." "The best insurance
against coronary disease is
exercise lots of it," says
Howard B. Sprague, M.D.
Boston heart specialist.
"By walking at least two
miles a day you're building
up an accessory circulation
for that inevitable coronary.
It mav mean the difference
between a fatal and nonfatal
attack." !
ates. "The representation sys
tem should provide a well-informed,
active leadership
which will initiate programs
which will benefit the stu
dent body."
The new president feels
the "primary purpose of a
representation system on this
campus should be to provide
leadership in the Council
as a whole. The attempts to
provide such leadership can
never be met by living unit
or college representation be
cause both have the supposi
tion that leadership is equal
ly distributed."
T rectify this problem
Burt would like to see a plan
which would continue over a
three to five year period.
"Student Council- Associates
could be a selective group
and be re-organized to serve
in relaying information to and
gathering opinion from the
student body," said Burt.
Continuing, Burt empha
sized that "allowing Associ
ates to be actual members of
Council committees with
more responsibility would
create an awareness of Coun
cil activities.
Lower House
Also, the Associates might
develop into a lower house
and could take over many of
the present council's activi
ties, thus developing their
leadership potential and lift
some of the administrative
burden from Council mem-

ones."
Commenting upon the fu
ture of such a program, Burt
suggested that "although any
such program is at least
three years away, eventually
Council members might be
elected at large from the Uni
versity community on the
basis of leadership potential
and political views. The de
velopment of political parties
would be a natural outgrowth
of such a program."
The new president feels
that the activities committee
should be the "guardian of
campus activities, making
sure there is no overloap of
function, ecouragmg new
organizations and checking to
see that each organization is
worthwhile in fact as well as
on paper."
Burt, in charging the pub
lic relations committee with
their responsibility, said that
"for the Council to be effec
tive, it must be respected,
and to be respected it must
be known, not only on cam
pus, but in the community
and the state. If we are to
succeed in public issues we
must have knowledge of the
level of campus opinion."
Public Issues
Commenting upon the re
cently organized Public Is
sues committee, Burt said
"the public issues area rep
resents our biggest challenge
and our greatest opportunity
to expand the concept of stu
dent government.
We must take stands on is
sues at all levels, and we
must try to' involve the stu
dent body as a whole. The
Council could have taken a
stand on urban renewal in
Lincoln, an issue which di
rectly effects the University,
for example."
Concluding, Burt summed
up by saying, "I am extrem
ely excited about the concept
of student government. I look
forward 3 the opportunity of
helping to guide the Student
Council to a new level of
achievement and significance."
