Going back to school may be
easier for adults because of a
back-to-school workshop con
ducted in recognition of National
Adult and Continuing Education
week. Ruth Harper, a UNL coun
selor, said the workshop will give
adults information cbout .finan
cial aid, scholarships, counseling
and master's and doctoral pro
grams. The workshop was divided Into
two sessions. In the first session,
the adults had a choice of two
mini-seminars, undergraduate
admissions and registration. They
also could talk to representatives
of UNL programs and schools.
The second session was about
scholarships and financial aid.
Harper said the workshop has
taken place for several years. It is
scheduled in October and March
before early registration.
"We want to assbt the non
traditional student in whatever
way to continue their education,"
Associate Dean of Continuing Ed
ucation John Buskey said
Non-traditional students usu
ally are working adults who return
to school for degrees.
Buskey said 20 to 28 percent of
UNL students are non-traditional
students and the percentage rises
every year.

student. Last year she earned a
degree in sociology and now is
working on her master's .

Alan Byrn, assistant to the
president of the Tobacco Insti
tute in Washington, D.C., said he
cant predict what effects the law
will have on the tobacco industry.
Experts testified in Congress
that the public is aware of the
current warning label, Byrn said. .
Ninety percent of the experts
said the public knows and under
stands the current label he said.
The tobacco industry sees the
labels m unwarranted and unne
cessary, Byrn said People need to
realize the hsnaful effects of
smoking, but the industry does
not agree with the labeling, he
said.
In 1070, the first label appeared
on cigarette packs, but sales in
creased despite the warning, Byrn
said. Cigarette consumption was
53a6 biiiion in 1972.
The tobacco industry was in
strumental in determining the
final warning although the in
dustry did not support the bill
Byrn said.
Bryn said he doubted that the
warnings will change the tobacco
industry's image. Cigarette in

said.

Steve Andersen, a junior in
dustrial engineering major who
smokes, said he thinks cigarette
consumption will decrease be
cause the warnings will have a
great impact.
"I think it will make people
more conscientious of it,"
Andersen said.
The warnings will give people
an impression different from the
current label and will help people
realae the effects of smoking,
said Mary Polodna, a sophomore
fashion design major who does
not smoke.
Although people will think
about the warnings more, she
said, she does not know whether
people will adhere to them.
Fleischli agreed. "It's one thing
for a person to know something,"
he said, "and it's another thing for
them to do it"
Colleen Laiigdon, an undeclared
junior who smokes, said she does
not think the w&rnisgs will make
a difference in consumption. The
current warning has net changed
a thing, she -said.
The four new warnings are:
Surgeon general's warning:
Smoking causes lung cancer,
heart disease, emphysema and
may complicate pregnancy.
Surgeon general's warning:
Quitting smoking now greatly
reduces serious risks to your
health.
Surgeon generaFs warning:
Smoking by pregnant women may
result in fetal injury, premature
birth and low birth weight
Surgeon general's warning:
Cigarette smoke contains carbon
monoxide.
