OQU ihursday, October, 1 0, 1 974 lincoln, nebraska vol. 98 no. 27 UNL Chancellor Zumherge: Alumni Assoc. reduced costs r Members of the UNL Student Alumni Assoc. may have been respon sible for increasing state aid and keeping tuition increases down in last year's UNL budget, according to UNL Chancellor James Zumberge. Speaking at the ASUN Senate meeting Wednesday night, Zumberge told senators association members may have helped bring about last year's legislative override of Gov. J. James Exon's veto of the proposed UNL 1974-75 budget. According to Zumberge, Exon ob jected to the increase in state aid contained in the proposed budget. State aid composed 65 per cent of the NU budget in 1974-75, compared to nearly 60 per cent of budgets over the past five years, he said. The university doesn't have a "sterling reputation" in the Legisla ture, Zumberge said. Failure to override the veto would have meant a tuition increase for UNL students, he said. - ... Zumberge urged senators to support the allocation of student fee money to the Alumni Assoc. because of the "indirect benefits" it provides stu dents. He did not explain the benefits. ASUN had backed a recommendation by the Fee Allocations Board last spring to eliminate the association as eligible for student fee money. The money, $20,000, was allocated by Zumberge over the recommendations. The NU Board of Regents later increased UNL student fees by $10, to $61.50 per semester. Objections to subsequent action by Alumni Assoc. officials were raised by ASUN senators. According to Sen. Mark Hoeger, the association officials felt they were not subject to the same restrictions that other student fee funded groups fall under because the money had hot been appropriated directly by the Fee Allocations Board. Zumberge said he had been assured by association officials that the money would not be aboused, but would be spent for projects of student interest. i I m0 t " 3 i Chancellor Zumberge answered questions at the ASUN meeting Wednesday.

Debra FcrycM 'i"M 4 wTfS--- yr " I Student 'guinea pigs' Reactions to exercise studied By Chuck Beck Those signs in residence hails solicit ing volunteers for a physical fitness research project are not the work of a team of mad scientists, but members of a UNL physical fitness research team. Dr. Bob Robertson, director of UNL's Physical Fitness Research Laboratory. (PFRL), said Tuesday that students physical and mental reactions to differ ent kinds of exercises are being studied by PFRL. According to Robertson, two people at the same level of physical fitness may view particular exercises differently. Qnj m;w hoioyo thfi ftXefCiSe tO bS diVflcuVtT while the other person believes It to be easy, Robertson said. Exercise programs "Research at PFRL Is directed to establishing optimal exercise programs and to getting people to adhere to exercise programs," he said. .'. Student volunteers are asked to perform two exercises which enable researchers to vary workloads and measure bodily responses to exercise, Robertson said. While performing the exercise, a student v.u rate V.ie relative ease or difficulty of the exercise. These exercise ratings are then compared with the student's bodily reaction, he said. One exercise students do is to pedal a bicycle which can be modified to very pedal resistance with output measurecj in vheel revolutions per minute. j Students also run on a treadmill a different speeds and slopes, enabhn researchers to measure heart responses with an electrocardiograph, Robertson said. . The amount of oxygen consumption la also measured while a student exercises and blood tests are administered to determine the lactic acid level, which increases with exercise, he said. Fitness evaluation , Robertson said students are used in the oxDeriments because the exercises are demanding. Students are not usually, paid for volunteering, 'although they receive comprehensive cardiovascular fitness evaluation, dealing with the lungs, heart and circulatory system, ho said. A "physical exercise prescription" is also given students who want to develop and progress through a personal exercise program suited to their needs, Robertson said. I About 150 students, primarily from residence halls, have participated in tho program since Friday, Bob Gillespio, 'research technologist at PFRL, said, : The PFRL Ss part of a department within the Nebraska Center for Health Education and is funded by university ,fupds Robertson said.
