Students bake in the sun despite tannin
dangers
BY ROSIN STANOSHECK
Shiny, golden bodies glisten in the sun.
Streaks of white sunlight reflect from well
oiled backs and legs.
A spot check on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
city campus indicated that
students know the dangers of overexposure
to the sun but seek a tan anyway.
"I think I won't get wrinkles because I
don't lay out for four hours a day like some
people," said Traci Hansen, sophomore me
teorology student. "I don't plan to change
my skin tone to dark brown, just light
brown."
Traci's philosophy is shared by other UN
L students.
"Moderation is the key," said Mark Roo
ney, secondary education graduate student.
He said he didn't have a "savage" tan be
cause he didn't tan for more than one-half-hour
at a time.
Harlan Milder, junior law student, wears
a hat to keep sun out of his eyes and to re
duce the risk of sunburn.
"I stayed out a good eight to ten hours
yesterday studying for an accounting test,"
said Kyle VVicke, senior accounting major.
He started tanning slowly however, "usually
an hour a day."
"I'd rather not think about wrinkles,"
said Cindy Rewinkel, electrical engineering
senior. She doesn't use suntan lotion and
said, "Not too many people die of skin can
cer; it's pretty curable."
Chris Clossen, sophomore advertising
major, believes the reports on cancer but
this does not stop her tanning efforts.
"I assume that the reports on cancer are
mostly true. I get so sick of being white in
the winter, that I figure I'll worry about it
when it hapens," Chris said.
"I believe what they say about sun aging
your skin, but I don't lay out too often. I teel,
in a way, it's healthy to get your skin ex
posed to the sun." said Sandy Bish, unde
clared freshman.
Improvement of self image and healthier
looking skin were common answers given to
the question on the reasons why students
work at getting a tan. Other reasons includ
ed: "Tanning helps clear my skin up," Bish
said. "It gives it a smoother appearance and
I don't have to wear makeup."
"Just because it feels good to lie in the
sun," said Anne Chubbucks, senior finance
major.
"My boyfriend likes me brown," was
Cindy Rewinkel's reason fcr baking in the
sun.
In response to a question on common
personality characteristics of sun bathers,
Rewinkel said, "I feel they can endure a lot
of suffering. I think they care about their
looks."
Brad Eastman, chemistry major, said
that his tan is just a by-product of the sun.
"I'm not necessarily out for the tan. I just
like to sit in the sun: it's relaxing."
" Everyone looks healthier with a tan,"
said Traci Hansen.
Mark Rooney, secondary education grad
uate student, said that tanning was a break
from being indoors.
"Two years ago I worked in a packing
plant and never saw the light of day," Roo
ney said.
Harlan Milder studies while he tans. He
said getting a tan while skiing, and playing
tennis and soccer was an alternative to
lying in the sun.
He feels that the reason for tanning is ob
vious. "People are always performing for
others. People dress to impress others and
tan to impress others," he said.
Kyle Wicke said he receives positive ver
bal reinforcement on his tan. He has re
ceived such compliments as: "God, what a
tan," and "You're sure brown."
"I think a lot of your clothing looks better
with a dark background rather than a light
one," Wicke said. "Really, it's not an ego
thing with me; it's hard to say why I do it."
Insanity plea need not
reduce confinement stay
WASHINGTON (AP) - People found not
guilty of crimes by reason of insanity may
be confined to mental hospitals for a longer
time than they would have spent in prison if
convicted, the Supreme Court ruled Wednes
day. By a 5-4 vote, the justices upheld the in
definite confinement of a Washington, D.C.,
man who has been held in a mental hospital
since charged with stealing a coat from a
department store six years ago.
The court said the Constitution does not
prohibit legislatures and courts from mak
ing it easier to lock away people acquitted
of crimes because of their insanity than it is
to commit people alleged to be insane but
who are not accused of any crime.
Senate kills Democratic
plan to limit tax cut
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate,
urged on by President Reagan, Wednesday
killed a Democratic plan to limit the 10 per
cent personal income tax cut that takes ef
fect Friday.
The Senate vote against the House
passed maximum $720 "cap" was the last
gasp for Democratic attempts to alter the
final installment of the three-year, 25 per
cent tax cut Reagan pushed through Con
gress in 1981.
The issue, however, is certain to surface
again in the 1884 elections.
Supporters of the measure conceding be
forehand that the Senate would defeat it.
Foundation will help
parents stay in school
NEW YORK (AP) - About 700 teen par
ents will start receiving educational and job
counseling, family planning help and other
services this summer as part of a two-year
program, a foundation official says.
