'closest to students
The Student Health Aide
Program is one of the most
unique programs carried on
by the University Health
Center, according to Carl
Peter, assistant in public
health at the center.
He explained that the
health aide is the member of
the health center team who is
closest to students, he is both
student and Health
employee.
The aides 3erve a number
of functions, said Celeste
Rnipmeyer, public health
nurse for the Center. She
added that the aides serv as
peer educators in a number
of ways.
They are people who can
give straight answers to
members of their living units
about health problems, she
said.
Carol Helm, Center Mental
Health Nurse, explained that
the aides are chosen from
nominees of the members of
the living unit. The Center
asks that nominees be people
with some influence and
concern in student life, she
said.
There are now 90 aides in
University living units. Each
fraternity, sorority, and
cooperative house has its
own aide. Harper, Schramm,
Smith, and Abel Halls have
one aide per two floors.
Other University dormitories
have two aides each.
The program Is slowly ex
panding, Miss Knipmeyer
said.
She explained that the
program was begun with the
Asian flu epidemic in 1957.
However, it was small and
loosely organized.
Miss Knipmeyer said that
since 1967 the program has
been growing larger in
numbers and more stringent
in its requirements on the
aides.
Aides are now required to
take a course In public health
during their time in service.
They are also familiarised
with the services offered by
the Health Center ani ac
quainted with Center
personnel.
The aide serves the func
tion of a mature adult in his
living unit, Peter said. Thus,
the help that they give
students is sometimes a bit
more than mere first aid.
The aides are encouraged
to become competent lp
handling minor problems by
themselves, he said.
Miss Helm explained that
to be effective the aicie must
have the trust and friendship
of his peers. She stressed the
point that anything told to a
Health Aide is completely
confidential.
"The aides are probably
the most effective means of
educating students in health
matters," Peter said.

literature may be obtained

Nebraska Placement Office.

tween 21 and 31 years of age,

This year's World in
Revolution Conference is te
ntatively scheduled for
March 16-19, 1970 with
'Beyond Vietnam' as its
theme.
"Our idea is to get a
perspective of the United
States' position in the world
over the next 10 to 20 years,"
Kerry Winterer, assistant
chairman of the Union
Forums Committee, said
Wednesday. "The program
will concentrate on domestic
problems and international
relations after the Vietnam
conflict."
Committee member Dave
Buntain said the title of the
conference does not mean
that it will be radically
oriented. The conference will
feature speakers with
various viewpoints, he added.
"Revolution, in the title,
simply means rapid change,"
he explained. "The con
ference wouldn't be v&y
thought-provoking if all those
participating thought the
sarnie way."
"Even those that wince at
the word can't ignore the fact
that the world is in a state of
revolution," Buntain said.
"We hope the conference will
give participants a better
perspective of the forces
shaping the world."
He said the format of the
conference speakers will go
b?yond that of usual Union
speakers. The conference
witt consist of discussion
groups with speakers as well
as formal speeches. Two-way
communication between
participants and speakers Is
the goal, Buntain added.
"We hope to get speakers
that might not otherwise
come to campus," he stated.
"The conference is actually
an attempt to make more use
of the speakers we have."
Though a conference was
planned for last spring, it
failed to materialize.
Winterer attributed the
failure to lack of coordination
and a late start in planning.
However, the Union has now
organized the Forums Com
mittee to plan Its part in the)
program and there Is good
coordination with ASUN, he)
said.
Winterer added that the
coordination and ad
ministration problems are
solved. Funding for the pro
gram will be about $3009
from the Union and another
$3000 from ASUN.
ASUN committee
representative Ron Alex
ander said planning for the
program has been going on
since this summer. A number
of possible speakers are
being considered, but none
has been selected or agreed
to come as yet.

Holdit Plastick Adhesive by Eberhard Faber
is great for sticking up posters, bulletins,
sketches, photographs. Any paper or card
board message. Also handy for steadying or
holding in position heavier pictures, mirrors.
Holdit isn't a glue or paste. It's a clean, non
toxic, easy to-use adhesive. Just knead a tiny
piece, then press on any dry surface.
Convenient package costs just 494 at your
college bookstore. At that low price, it's a
holdup!
