Research

"No."
That has been the traditional answer to persons with
epilepsy who want to participate in sports.
But research being done at the UNL Physical Fitness
Research Center supports a hypothesis that persons with
epilepsy participate in a regular, systematic program of
physical activity.
in sports
Epilepsy is a disorder of the nervous system
characterized by repeatedly occurring seizures, or
convulsions, resulting from uncontrolled electrical
discharges in the brain. Seizures may vary in form and,
intensity.
The UNL research study was funded by a grant from the
Epilepsy Foundation of America (EFA). Dr. Kenneth Rose
developed the research proposal and received one of seven
research grants given by the EFA.
Rose, primary investigator of the study, is former
director of the research laboratory. He does not work full
time in the laboratory since his resignation from the
University Health Center last year. The research project
began in 1972 and funding for it ends next January. The
study deals with the effect of exercise on persons with
epilepsy or related convulsive disorders, in an attempt to
solve some practical problems, according to Dr. Robert
Robertson, present director of the laboratory.
Sixteen epileptic UNL students between the ages of 18
and 24 volunteered to participate in the study. The research
basically was designed to determine the effect of exercise
on the electroencephalogram (EEG) and blood chemistry of
epileptics.
The study should provide the medical profession with
information tc help them decide whether an epileptic
individual should participate in physical activities,
Robertson said. It also should help people understand that
epileptics can participate in physical activities, he added.

ASUN to reques
budget of $38,000
ASUN's proposed budget of $38,195.27 for the 1974-75 fiscal
eir will be presented to the Fees Allocation Doard today, after
its revision and approval by the ASUN Senate Wednesday night.
David Howlett, ASUN second vice president, explained that,
the senate usually has until the end of the fiscal year before
having to provide a proposed budget, but because of the newly
formed Fees Allocation Board the senate had to provide a budget
3 few months early.
In other business, ASUN President Ron Clingenpeel said that
consideration of LB783, a bill that would allow the sale and
consumption of alcohol on campus, has only been postponed for
this legislative session. "The bill can be reintroduced next year,
he said.
A resolution, submitted by ASUN Sen. Chuck Schuster
advocating the support of Residence HaSI Association Pres. Tim
Evensen, also an ASUN Senator, for regent was referred to a
committee headed by ASUN Sen. Jim Macomber. The matter will
be discussed again at next week's meeting.
The resolution, also called for a $100 contribution to the
Evensen's campaign. ASUN Sen. Art Alexander said any political
donation by ASUN may lead to trouble because the association is
a nonprofit organization.
Clingenpeel introduced two government bills that may be
voted on next week.
It is ASUN policy to introduce a government bill a week prior
to voting.
The bills propose a payment of a Record Store tax debt from
senate expenses and the contingency fund, and a proposal to pay
a $50 membership fee for the senate to join the National Institute
of Student Government.

Naturally, a great camera like the
F-1 won't ensure great results.
That's up to you, Yet it's nice to
know that your camera can grow
with you as a photographer.
Part of the reason for this is the
F-1 system. Since it was designed
in totality, it offers total perlorm
anr.. Them is nothing "added on"
in the F-1 system. Everything works
as it was designed to, and inte
grates superbly with everything
else. You'll spend less time worrying
about operating the camera than in
shooting. And that's what creative
photography is really ail about.
Controls fall into place under
each finger. It's no accident. Pro
fessionals who depend on a camera
for their livelihood have a deep
regard for the F-1's handling, it's
amazing how much a comfortable
camera can improve your work.
Sharing these lenses and many
of these accessories are the new
Electronic Canon EF. with fully
automatic exposure control, the

Policy on
visas
revised
foreign students will find it
more difficult to attend
schools in the United States
next year, according to US.
State Dept. officials.
The department has
tightened its policy on granting
visas, and is restricting entrance
for foreign students who
cannot prove sufficient
financial resources to pay for
their education. It also is
administering more stringent
English language tests.
Currently about 146.0CD
foreign students attend college
In the United States, according
to Rowena Boykin, UNL
foreign student adviser. The
University has 503 foreign
students enrolled. Since the
more rigid policy was passed
just last September, its effects
are not yet visible on the
Lincoln crmpus. Boykin, said
there is no way of telling what
the outcome of the new policy
will be here.
"I believe strongly in the
one world idea, and the only
way we'll get that is if we
expose students to different
types of people and different
lifestyles. And we need foreign
students for that," she said.
The new visa regulations
stem from government concern
about "illegal aliens" in the
United States, according to a
recent article in The Omaha
World Herald.
However, Cornelius Scully,
chief of the Visa Regulations
Office and Legislative Division,
said, In the article, that the
number of students who are
illegal immigrants Is not rank
high. '
Students who are ablg to get
visas or already have them also
will have trouble getting wives,
husbands and families into the
United States, Boykin noted.
"We at the Foreign Student
Office believe this is an
unhealthy situation to have
families separated."
"America has always been a
leader In international
education," she continued.
"This new regulation could
changa our whole Ima'je."
