VaPs gives to speakers program
Valentino's Inc., a Lincoln-based restaurant chain
specializing in Italian food, has committed $10,000 as a
challenge gift to the UNL students toward raising funds
to support the speakers prograrti.
The pledge is part of the student phase of the NU
Foundation's $25 million Capital Gift Campaign.
"We believe one's education is enhanced by the expos
ure to the views of prominent speakers who may differ on
important issues confronting society," said Anthony
Messineo, president of Valentino's."
"Such exposure stimulates thinking and encourages a
logical process in evaluating opposing view-points. We
have confidence in the students' ability to select speakers
who fairly and honestly represent issues," he said.
The funding for the UNL speakers program from
student fees was discontinued this past year through
administrative action of the NU Board of Regents.
Largest private contribution
"The Valentino's gift is the largest private contrib
ution received for support of a student -selected program,"
said Ken Marienau, ASUN president. It will serve as the
cornerstone for building a substantial endowment for the
speakers fund.
"Valentino's display of confidence in the student body
is a soure of great satisfaction and we accept their
challenge to match the $10,000 gift."
Valentino's gift will be made over a five-year period.
The greater share of the gift will endow the speakers fund
with only income used annually to attact speakers. Init
ially, a portion of the gift will be expendable, enabling
the fund to provide financial assistance to the 1979-80
academic year.
Three reasons
In making the gift, Messineo cited three reasons for
his company's support.
"Valentino's is appreciative of the patronage of the
students. We received our start across from the campus
at 35th and Holdrege, and it was the students' support
and loyalty that allowed us to expand and prosper. This
is our opportunity to show our appreciation.
"Secondly, the university's educational and cultural
activities add immeassurably to the quality of life in
Lincoln; and thirdly, Ron Messineo, vice president of
Valentino's, and I are both graduates of the university
and as alumni, we are pleased to support our alma mater
through the University Foundation."
Student phase
The student phase of the foundation's three-year cam
paign is being conducted under the auspices of AUF and
ASUN. Most student organizations, fraternities and res
idence halls are participating in the fund drive. The on
campus programs selected for support include the
speakers fund, student research grants and the Univer
sity Cnild Care Projects.

Health clubs battle bulges and boredom
So you're tired of watching soap operas, you're begin
ning to feel the symptoms of advanced cabin fever, and
you've noticed that those baggy painter's pants aren't
so baggy anymore. Winter can do that, leave you bored,
fat and stuck inside with only the T.V. and refrigerator
for company.
One simple solution might be getting some more exer
cise, but if you don't care for jogging in sub-zero weather
or doing pushups in the living room, you might want to
try one of Lincoln's health clubs.
According to most of the club owners, winter is their
best season, and memberships double or triple between
October and March.
Fitness business booming
The owners said there are about as many different
ways of staying fit as there are flabby people, and that
Lincoln offers options for the fitness freak.
Among them is the Alpha Health Center, a health club
only for women at 140 N. 48th St. Manager Ruby
Spencer said the spa has diet and exercise programs for
women who want to lose weight, gain weight or shift it
around.
For men, there is the Lincoln Health Club at 815 O St.,
a body building outfit that specializes in the Nautilus
weight machine . They also have a heatlh food bar.
Coed health spas
If you would rather throw weights around in a coed
health club, give the Sweep Left Health Spa a try.
According to employee Joe May, Sweep Left is equipped
with a full set of weights, weight machines and exercise
equipment, not to mention a whirlpool and health food
bar. May said a six-month membership costs $60.
What's that you say, you don't care for pumping iron

some, there are two YMCA facilities, one downtown at
