Carter campaign coordinators remain optimistic

By Mary Kempkes
Coordinator's of President Carter's Nebraska re-election
campaign are optimistic about their candidate's
chances in November.
But campaign organizers also are realistic.
"I think you know the potts show Nebraska in
Reagan's camp," Lincoln Mayor Boosalis said. "But that
doesn't mean I think it's going to happen."

Ben Nelson, campaign coordinator from Omaha, said he
thinks most people assume the campaign for the Demo
cratic candidate is going to be "an uphill, upstream bat
tle." "On the other hand, this state hasn't always voted
straight Republican in the presidential campaign," he
said.
Nebraska, traditionally a strong Republican state, has
cast its electoral votes for a mocratic nominee only
once since gaining statehood. 1 1964, voters in Nebraska
supported Lyndon Johnson over Republican candidate
Barry Goldwater.
Boosalis said it is the job of the campaign organizers
Nelson, Wayne Ziebarth of Wilcox, and herself-to reverse
Carter's sagging popularity in Nebraska. She added that
it will be a "formidable task.'
Despite the likelihood of Nebraska following tradition
and supporting the Republican nominee, Nelson said he is
"not prepared to write off the state."
The campaign organizers will meet soon to discuss
strategy for raising money. State Democratic leaders
also will file requests with the party's national headquart
ers for a visit from a member of Carter's cabinet.
In addition, the state campaign coordinator's will dis
cuss campaign planks and will emphasize Carter's strong
agricultural background. He added that the President's
support of labor is also important to people in eastern Nebraska.
Nelson said he is sure Carter's chances in the re-election
will improve after the presidential candidates debates.
Carter's popularity in Nebraska has increased since May
because the party is unified, Nelson said.

More people of all ages apparently are discovering that
getting and staying in good physical shape can be fun.
Andy Fry, Sweep Left Health Club manager, said he
has seen an increase in business over the last several years.
"People are more conscious personally of their overall
health," Fry said. "People are never satisfied with the way
they look, so they never have to worry about reaching
their goals.
"Demand picks up at the beginning of school," Fry
added. "We are getting more UNL students because the
facilities at the university are getting more and more
crowded."
The three-year-old health club for men and women
provides a weight training program. Cutsomers work out
three to five times a week on a predetermined training
schedule.
The club has a capacity of 200 and has approximately
150 me'ihbers. Fry- said college students make up about
1 5 percent of his business.
"We have people of all types and all ages," he said,
"from high school age to 66."
The Body Shoppe is an all-female health spa owned by
Jim Mailhiot.
many in shaping up
"Two-thirds of our customers come in for weight loss
and toning," Mailhiot said said, "The other one-third
come in for general physical maintenance."
The Body Shoppe has facilities to accommodate 5,000
women, Mailhiot said. They include an indoor pool, 75 jet
whirlpools, a 14-foot sauna, an exercise equipment room,
and a 2,000-square-foot exercise area. Exercise classes are
conducted eight times a day.
Swimming lessons, yoga, and belly dancing also are
planned.
Mailhiot tentatively plans to add an indoor track and
additional whirlpool and massage areas as membership
expands.
The Body Shoppe recently has obtained Sontegra
tanning beds. Mailhiot said customers are guaranteed a
tan in five days.
The Sweep Left Health Club has $10,000 to $12,000
worth of weight machines and Olympic-style weights,
according to Fry, as well as two saunas and a coed
whirlpool.
"Most people think of saunas as a way of losing
weight," Fry said. "But it's really a method of relaxation
and cleansing."
"Besides losing and gaining weight; there's a good feel-
ing about it, a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment!

Schlake, a graduate assis
tant in the Campus activ.
ities and Programs office,
said the Activities Mart is
a good place to go for stu
dents who want to get in
volved in clubs.
The mart gives students
a chance to see what organ
izations are available,
Schlake said, and to visit
with club members.
Each group will have a
table wher they can set up
posters, displays, and "any
thing to catch the students
eye," Schlake said.
Belonging to extra-curricular
organizations can
help a student develop lead
ership and communication
skills, and can often help
develop career skills as well,
she said.
About 50 organizations
participated in last year's
Activities Mart, and Schlake
expects the sams amount to
participate this year.
Among groups that will
be reperesented at the Mart
are the NU Meds, the
Campus Girl Scouts, the
Chess Club, and the All
