Health service cut studied
monday, february 12, 1979
Ways in which the University Health
Center could maintain current programs
under its existing budget were discussed
last week at the annual meeting of the exe
cutive medical staff of the health center.
Dr. (larland Bare, medical director of
the health center, said they are "looking
hard" to see how they can stay within the
current budget and maintain services cur
rently offered under this budget.
If there is no increase in the health cen
ter's allocation from student fees, Bare
said, cuts would have to be made in some
areas of service.
Bare said $46 per student from fees is
allocated to the University of Kansas'
health center, $44.50 per student at the
University of Colorado, and $40 per stu
dent at Kansas State University. UNL al
locates $27.50 per student.
Kansas and Colorado have $3 million
budgets for their health centers, he added,
whereas Nebraska budgets slightly over $1
million. .
"We provide more services than either
one of them," Bare said.
In other action at the meeting, Dr.
Ralph Lwei t was named chief-of-staff of
the health center. Bare said the duties of
the one-year elected office are to draw up
physician's schedules and to represent
physicians at department meetings.
Dr. Shirley Pfiug was elected vice chief-of-staff,
and Dr. Lome Brown was elected
secretary.
A vacancy on the health center medical
staff was narrowed to three candidates at
the meeting. The new staff member should
be selected within a month. Bare said.
End of 'Ice Age' predicted
Above normal precipitation and below
normal temperatures are likely to persist
through most of February, but university
assistant professor of geography Art
Douglas said Nebraskans can expect "an
appreciable warming trend in March..
The thaw could come anywhere be
tween the third week of Feburary and the
second week of March, according to
Douglas, who warned that the rapid melt
ing warming trend, coupled with near
normal precipitation in March, would pose
severe danger of flooding, especially in the
eastern part of the state.
Douglas, who over the last three years
has achieved a remarkable 70 percent
accuracy on his long-range weather fore-

casts, was right on target with his previous
prediction for the winter 1978-79 which
called for the below normal temperatures
and above normal precipitation for Nebra
ska. Douglas said Nebraskans should be
mostly concerned with the possibility of
flooding, especially in the eastern part of
the state, as temperatures rise dramatically
in March.
Douglas bases his predictions largely on
temperature patterns in the Pacific Ocean.
Presently, he said water temperature data
from the Pacific combined with normal
changes in the jet stream and other weather
data suggest that temperatures will average
six degrees below normal in February.
