Union Board sets spare allocation proposals
By Jonathan Tcylcr
The proposed Nebraska Union office space alloca
tions for 1 934-85 was the central topic of discussion
at the Union Board meeting Tuesday night.
Frank Kuhn, assistant director of operations said
letters are being sent to student organizations
whose office situations will be changed by the
board's proposals. Kuhn said any organization which
would like to make an appeal to the board may do so
at the April 24 meeting in the City Union.
Space allocations is usually a difficult task due to
the number of student organizations which apply
for space, said Phil Karsting, operations committee
chairman. However, since five organizations did not
reapply, it was easier to allocate space this year.
Though the African Student Association filed an
application, Kuhn said the organization was denied
office space because the office request was too late.
Other major space allocation changes involved a
request by Campus Activities and Programs to move
the new Student Orientation office into the space in
office 221, presently occupied by University Pro
gram Council UPC would then be relocated into
office 237 now occupied by Student Legal Services.
Office 335 would then be the new home of Student
Legal Services.
Though he did not like to see space for student
organizations in the Union replaced by administra
tive offices, Karsting said after studying the crowd
ed conditions in the CAP Office, he could under
stand why they needed the extra space.
Karsting said the board would take a final vote on
the space allocation issue after the student organi
zations make their appeals on the 24th.
In open forum, Mark Scudder, ASUN president
and Curt Oltmans, first vice president, presented
their perception cJT ASUN's relationship with the
Union Board. Scudder said he hoped to coordinate a
Bookstore Advisory Board between ASUN and the
Union Board to provide input to the administration
on the progress of the Nebraska Bookstore reloca
tion efforts.
Board president, Mary Marcy said the advisory
board would also insure the original relocation
plans will be followed through after the decision is
made on where to place the bookstore.
In other board action, a motion was passed to
allow the National Bank of Commerce a one-year
extention on their space rental contract. Jeff Fish
back, programs and activities committee chairman
informed the board of the possible publication of a
weekly calendar.
Fishback said his committee planned to make a
proposal to the Publications Board to have the
calendar published in the Daily Nebraskan or they
would create a separate publication to be distrib
uted to the residence halls and Greek houses.

The Faculty Senate discussed the possibility of
having a regional college of veterinary medicine at
Tuesday afternoon's meeting.
Vice Chancellor Roy Arnold said their report
recommends that "there was justification for a
reasonable college in this region and federal funding
would be appropriate for such."
Class size would be in relation to the school's size.
Their two alternatives are either 94 or 64 students
per class, Arnold said.
According to Maurice Baker, President of the
Faculty Senate, until two states agree with Neb
raska the funds for the regional college will be frozen
for an unknown extension of time. Currently, Neb
raska is looking at New Mexico to join them in a
regional veterinary. medicine college, he said. None
of the surrounding states have this type of school,
but Baker said they either don't have the funds
available or they already have enough veternarians
in their state.
Regent John Payne said the UNL Board of Regents'
highest goal is improving faculty salaries. Payne also
said the salaries at UNL differ from UNO and the UN
Medical school because they are in different peer
groups.
According to Baker, "the Lincoln campus is the
only school to offer a Ph.D. The faculty is not the
same, so it's not appropriate to pay the same."
The faculty was confused on whether the 60 per
cent salary raise across the board applied to the 3
percent raise in March plus the July raise, or only to
their July raise, Baker said. The faculty pay raise will
include both pay periods though, he said. The
remaining 40 percent is for meritorious perfor
mance included in their 11.1 percent pay raise.
Human rights and employee benefits were dis
cussed as well. The Faculty Senate also recognized
13 retiring senators.

Health Center offers class

"You can stop smoking and live a
little longer or keep smoking and die
young," was the medical advice that
prompted a medical assistant at the
University Health Center to stop smok
ing. Joe "Andy" Anderson, who stopped
smoking because he began to notice a
"light fluttering feeling" in his chest,
began his second Five-Day Stop Smok
ing Clinic at the University Health Cen
ter on Monday.
Anderson taught this course at the
Good Neighbor Center, 2617 Y St., for
the last two years, but he has pres
ented the class at other locations since
1975.
Anderson said the class is for people
who are physically addicted to smok
ing. Smokers who have tried to quit
before or whose habit is triggered by
stress probably need a class like his,
Anderson said.
"Some people don't get the physical
addiction" Anderson said. "They just
cut down gradually and quit. Others
would just crawl the wall and kill for a
cigarette."
Anderson said most smokers know
cigarette smoking is bad for their health,
but they have a neuro-muscular ad
diction to cigarettes. He said he some
times still catches himself reaching
with his right hand for his left breast
pocket to grab a cigarette.
"It's like riding a bicycle," he said. "It's
always a part of you. But you can learn
to control that behavior so it isn't
harmful to your health or lifestyle."
Behavior modification helps people
stop smoking, he said. If a person
comes home from work, picks up the
newspaper, sits in a certain chair and
smokes a cigarette, then he's got to
come home and do something he does
not associate with smoking, he said.
Some people are pressured by spous
es or co-workers to quit but do not
really want to themselves. Anderson
said they may go without smoking for a
few months but will start smoking
again.
Anderson said a pint of tar can be
scraped from the lungs of a smoker
who goes through a pack of cigarettes
a day for one year. At the end of the
year, members of that smoker's family
can scrape one-half of a pint of tar
from their lungs.
The five-day clinic supplies the
smoker with more medical reasons to
stop smoking and offers advice and
support for those that want to stop.
Participants receive phone calls twice
within six months after the clinic to
see how they are progressing.
Classes meet two hours a day and
cost $15. About 30 people can attend.
More information is available from the
department of community health at
472-5050.
