Students sign petition

Parts of a proposed renovation
plan for the Cather-Pound-Nei-hardt
complex has angered its
residents and hall governments.
The main grievance, voiced on
a petition, is about the possible
change of the historical Neihardt
blue television room into a parti
tioned study room.
Glen Schumann, UNL assistant
director of housing said he pro
posed this plan to make use of
"wasted space" and poor use of
the complex's rooms. The pro
posal was written on a concep
tual basis, with the plans being
tentative, he said.
More than GO students signed a
petition against the proposed
change. Many said they thought
the complex has adequate study
areas.
"I think the lounge is vhat
separates Neihardt from an insti
tution," said Neihardt resident
Jill McCoy.

"I've heard not one person in
favor of this change because
there's no purpose for it," said
Lora Monahan, another resident.
Matt Hruska, Neihardt council
president, calls this part of the
plan "a mistake." But he and Joe
Petrick, the complex program di
rector, said other proposals will
benefit the students and the halls.
These include the relocation of
the Cather weightroom to the
Neihardt basement, the addition
of study rooms to first floor of
Pound and Cather, changing the
Neihardt "Pumpkin room" into a
divided computer room and the
addition of new classrooms and
student activity rooms to pres
ently unused areas of Neihardt.
"I'm glad they're doing it because
it will benefit the students, but
there's a few things that they're
approaching wrong," said Hruska.
Other proposed changes in
clude changing Neihardt's Birch
Room and blue parlor into a
walled -off lounge and television
room, respectively.

Petrick said he disagrees with
these proposals because "these
rooms are already meeting the
existing needs of the students,"
he said.
Schumann said students are
not using the rooms enough.
"IVe been through them at many
different times of the day, yet
very seldom do I see more than
four or five people in there," he
said.
The final decision on the prop
osals will be made by Doug Za
techka, director of housing at
UNL. He said he will make the
decision sometime next semester
Caffeine 'boosters' OK

YouVe done it again. It's the
night before your 15-page term
paper on Ernest Hemingway is

Wash a No-Doz down with a
can of Mountain Dew and head to
the library for an all-nighter.
Caffeine found in beverages
such as coffee, tea and soft drinks
and in nonprescription drugs such
as Dexatrim, Vivarin and No-Doz
is often used by students who are
looking for a stimulant to improve
their alertness. Taken in the right
amounts, it may not be as bad for
them as once believed.
"I would say lack of sleep is
more harmful than the caffeine
consumption," said Dr. Nancy
Betts, a registered dietician and
assistant professor in human
nutrition at UNL
Becky Guittar, a registered die
tician at Lincoln General Hospi
tal, said, "Small amounts of caf
feine are not detrimental, but
larger amounts like a six pack of

and CPN hall representatives.
Zatechka said he is opposed to
partitioning the blue room. "We
need halls that have that type of
setting, but that doesn't "mean
that you can't change its uses," he
said.
Zatechka said the proposal "is
not etched in stone" and will need
modification before any construc
tion begins a few years from now.
A meeting is scheduled in the
Neihardt complex at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, concerning the changes.

student opinion and to present

pop or 10 cups of coffee a day can
have detrimental effects."
According to studies done by
the American Council on Science
and Health, caffeine usually is
consumed in amounts equalling
less than 300 milligrams a day.
The evidence suggests that higher
levels, around 600 milligrams a
day, may cause health problems
including chronic headaches,
sleep disturbances, rapid heart
beats, anxiety and stomach up
sets. Six hundred milligrams of caf
feine is equal to the caffeine
found in six cups of brewed cof
fee or 10 to 12 cups of instant
coffee, 11 Mountain Dews, 15
Coca-Colas or three Vivarins.
According to the study, ap
proximately 1 1 million people in
the United States consume at
least this much caffeine daily,
causing a condition called caf
feinism. Guittar suggests that people
who daily drink a six-pack or
more of pop dilute the amount of
caffeine consumed by drinking a
can of caffeine-free pop between
cans of regular pop.
