RHA defeats Nestles education program proposal
By Betsy Miller
A motion which would implement an education pro
gram on the effects of the Nestles Company baby formula
which is sent to underdeveloped nations was defeated at
the Residence Hall Association meeting Thursday.
Harper Hall Representative Bill Flack introduced the
motion which called for RHA to "urge" hall governments
to adopt the program on Nestles.
The halls boycotted Nestles products last year, but this
semester RHA tabled action on whether to renew the boy
cott. Negative reaction to Flack's motion came from RHA
members who felt that the university does not use a large
amount of Nestles in residence halls.
Gather Representative Mike Kratville said that the
World-Herald Organization which had criticized Nestle
for their baby formula distribution, had dropped their
protests against Nestles.
Cather and Pound Hall President Scott Nelsen said that
he felt the program Flack proposed was a form of pro
paganda. The RHA bylaws prohibit the residence halls from
participating in any activities that could spread
propaganda, Nelsen said.
Final approval of RHA's bylaws took place at the
meeting.
Flack approved a motion to reconsider an amendment
he proposed which passed at the last meeting.
That amendment established a sergeant-at-arms for
RHA.
The amendment originated at the last meeting because
of the waJk-out of some RHA members who felt the meet
ing was lasting too long.
Halloween figures can save birds
Halloween may do more this year than just provide
treats for the kiddies it may help reduce the dead bird
problem around campus.
The birds die after flying into windows and doors in an
area they arc unfamiliar with. This happens during the faJ
fall migration season, which is near Halloween.
Putting silhouettes of hawks and owls in the windows
may "scare" the birds away from their fate, suggests one
UNL professor. The Halloween figures put in windows
may stop the birds.
The birds are usually found around campus sidewalks
during the fall and spring, and Paul Johnsgard, UNL pro
fessor of zoology and life sciences, said that during
October, the Lincoln bird population will rise consider
ably. "When the birds are in unfamiliar territory, they tend
to bump into buildings and windows. This is especially
true in situations where they can see through them and
see sky on the other side," he said.
The professor also said quite a few b;"ds can be found
every year around Burnett and Hamiltc . Halls. The best
way to prevent the birds confusion, according to
Johnsgard is to put silhouettes of hawks and owls in
windows.
Ross Lock, non game specialists for the Lincoln Game
and Park Commission said the recent bird deaths were de
finitely not the result of pesticides, since those kinds of
mass-deaths usually result in 15 to 20 dead birds in one
area. He said when a few dead birds are scattered the
deaths are harder to evaluate, but they have probably died
from flying into something.
The head of UNL Grounds Department, Don Shew said
sightings of the dead birds have been reported on campus
and throughout the city.
The sergeant-at-arms' purpose would be to prohibit
voting members from leaving meetings.
The provision for a sergeant-at-arms was repealed.
The association also approved a resolution calling for
the "no radial" option of the Northeast Radial Highway
question to be adopted by the association.
The "no radial" option means that RHA does not
consider the radial highway a feasible idea and does not
favor any type of highway project.
Abel President Marcie Hagerty served on an ad hoc
committee of ASUN, RHA and other students groups
which studied different alternatives to building the
highway.
ASUN passed the "no radial" resolution at its Wed
nesday night meeting.
City officials currently are looking at the "no build"
option and other plans which would call for construction
of the highway at different Lincoln locations.
In other action, Cather Representative Rick Schmid
said that the Boy Scouts will begin picking up paper in
the residence halls to be used for recycling.
The university had been collecting the paper but had
to discontinue the service because of rising costs.
