UNL enrollment also is increasing, Mas
sengale said. More than 25,000 students are
enrolled this fall, he said, end about 15,000
students attended summer school.
"A university doesn't stand still, it goes
backward or forward, he said. It is
important to secure the best young minds
in the state to attend UNL
UNL has 170 National Merit Scholars
this semester, he said, which puts UNL
among the top 20 in the United States in
numbers of scholars. Five years ago UNL
had only 23, he said.
"You and I know that some are predict
ing hard times for higher education,' he
said. "We must provide education in a
humane and dignified way. It's an invest

iWeight groups will instill
behavior pattern changes
By Patty Pryor
A weight control program sponsored
by the University Health Center will be
gin Sept. 28, said Margaret Eager, psy
chiatric social worker at the center and
program coordinator.
"We like to call it weight control,
rather than weight loss because we try
to teach good, healthy life styles," she
said. "We talk about calories, but we al
so talk about learning good nutrition."
The key to losing and controlling
weight is a change in behavior patterns,
she said.
"Studies have shown that if the trig
gers for eating don't change, 85 to 90
percent of lost weight will be regained,"
she said.
The program's 10 weekly meetings,
conducted Mondays and Tuesdays at 4
pjn. in tne neaitn center conierence
room, will begin with a weigh-in, follow
ed by lectures, films and discussions.
The program costs S20.
New to this year's program is an
aerobic exercise class during the last six
weeks of the session.
A more loosely structured follow-up
group will be formed after the initial
program for an additional 10 weeks
Eager said. This group also will partici
pate in the exercise class.
The groups are limited to 20 people
for each Monday and Tuesday meeting.
To be eligible, a person must weigh 15
percent mbre than his ideal weight,
Eager said. It is athis point that the
additional weight becomes life-threatening,
she explained.
Interested persons should have a
physical as soon as possible to deter
mine their ideal weight, she said, and
then contact the health center for an
appointment with a dietician.
Participants in the program have a
diet completely worked out before the
group's first meeting, she said.
The program's success is difficult to
measure, Eager said, because success
comes in maintaining changes in eating
patterns.
However, most people lose at least
10 pounds, she said.
"It's a program that still meets stu
dent need, it offers the necessary group
support and it's more reasonable than
community programs," Eager said.
Students' relations discussed
By Vicky Lisko
Robin Lynch, president of the Resi
dence Hall Association, and Kirk Trofholz,
president of the Interfraternity .Council,
may be leaders of two different phases of
college life.
But they share similar ideas concerning
relationships between members of resi
dence halls and those in fraternities and
sororities.
When RHA is in full swing, Lynch wants
to initiate activities that will bring together
those in the Greek system with dormitory
students.
Through a combined committee effort,
incorporating Panhellenic, RHA and IFC,
Lynch described activities geared toward
increasing awareness and open-mindedness
about "how the other half lives."
Possible activities include dinner ex
changes, in which residence hall and Greek
students could experience each other's
environment and dances with both groups.
"It's a matter of breaking the ice," Trof
holz said. "It could be a lot of fun."
The lack of communication about the
two groups is the main cause of myths and
stereotypes, Lynch said. She and Trofholz
agreed that most stereotyping is not really
taken to heart.
In the past, Lynch said a hall resident

was commonly considered isolated and
floors have such strong friendship ties that 11
most at u vines are uune as a group.
"Now dorm floors are very unified and
close-knit," she said.
Similarly, Trofholz said the "rich,
fashion-conscious" fraternity stereotype is
not taken seriously by most people. He
said most students recognize the diversity
in all phases of the university.
"You can go to the Sig Ep house, the
Beta house and Cather 8 and see a cross
section of people " Trofholz said. "There'll
ba people on Cather 8 that would mix right
in with Beta Theta PL After all, we're all
just students."
Trofholz said there was a mock friction
between residence hall members and
fraternity men.
"I don't see hostile feelings," he said. "I
think most things are done in fun. Sure,
when the first snow flies it's, 'Let's go
throw snowballs at Sigma Nu,' or 'Let's get
Neihardt.' It's almost a tradition. I don't
feel it's really any kind of problem."
Lynch said communication is the key to
better relations.
"We want to find the people who realize
we're all regular, ordinary people and who
could care less who's in a hall or sorority
or fraternity " she said.
