on only Lincoln residents -shouldn't
be imposed on
students because they dont
use Lincoln streets as much,
he said.
"I think if a user tax is
to be truly equitable, it
should be based on the
amount a person uses the
streets,' he said.
Most UNL students are
driving to and from part
time jobs, and the campus,
he said.
"I'm not sure a wheel
tax is appropriate " he said.
The wheel tax will re
quire that people pay taxes
of $12 in 1982 and $18 in
1984 for each vehicle. The
expanded tax is opposed by
non-residents who work in
Lincoln and students -groups
that will be subject
to the tax for the first time.
Some of the non-residents
argued that imposing
the tax when they have no
voice in city government
would be "taxation without
representation."
Council members defend
ed their action by saying
all people who use Lincoln
streets or are making a living
in the city should be held
liable for the tax, because
the money from it will
be used to upgrade city
streets and highways.
"Trucks delivering goods
through Lincoln cause more
wear on the streets than
students do, but they aren't
subject to a wheel tax,"
Mockler said.
ASUN's position is that
students contribute enough
to Lincoln economy
through property and sales
taxes and student spending,
he said.
"ASUN will be encour
aging students to use alter
nate forms of transporta
tion," he said.
Few can name heart attack risks
In spite of an intensive
educational campaign, most
people know little about
probable , causes of heart
attacks. And few know
what can be done to reduce
the risk of heart attack,
according to the Nebraska
Medical Association.
Medical experts agree
three major factors increase
the risk of heart attacks -

high cholesterol level in the
blood, cigarette smoking
and high blood pressure.
Other factors are involved,
but these three are generally
recognized as contributory
to heart attacks.
Six hundred seventeen
adults were asked in a sur
vey about their knowledge
of heart attack causes. Half
of those questioned,
couldn't name any of the
risks. Only 1 percent named
all three. Only 28 percent
named cigarette smoking,
21 percent named high
blood pressure and 13 per
cent named excessive
cholesterol or fat in the diet
Ul U1UUU.
The people also were '
asked whether heart attacks
could be prevented. Threes
fourths believed that pre
vention is possible, but few ,
named specific behaviors ,
that would reduce risk,
other than abstaining from
smoking. Blood pressure
and cholesterol controls
were mentioned by less than
10 percent.
