They can do it, if they have the right attitude, a University Health Center dietitian says. Kathleen Lehr said the right attitude for safe, healthy weight loss means dieters should: Improve eating habits; Change lifestyles; Gradually adjust diet and accept it as more than a temporary "fix." Lehr said people with good eating habits choose food from the four major food groups meat, dairy, vegetables and fruits. People on diets also should do this, since it helps balance nutrients and adds variety to meals. Eating three or four meals daily, every four or five hours, will help dieters control their hunger, she said. Those meals should consist of: Lean cuts of meat, poultry and fish pre pared in low-calorie ways, such as broiling or steaming; Fresh fruits and vegetables; Whole-grain breads; Low-fat milk or cottage cheese Dieters should net include foods that are high in fats, oils, sugars and salt. They also should reduce intake of alcohol. People who eat at a residence hall's food service can choose from several available low-fat and low-cal erie foods such as those mentioned above, Lehr said. But they have to consciously decide to eat these foods before they eat other high-calorie foods, she said. As long as dieters stay away from high-fat, high-calorie foods, snacking between meals is all right and can even help control hunger. Students who study late at night and get tempted to snack should substitute fresh fruits and vegetables for potato chips and water or tea instead of soda pop. Changing from an idle lifestyle to an active one is a vital part of losing' weight. According to the Nebraska Medical Association, people who exercise do more than just burn calories; they change their body's metabolism in a way that helps weight loss. Harriet Kohn, home economics extension agent at UNL, said aerobic videotapes and records, mini trampolines and exercise bicycles are good for home workouts. People also should plan home exercise routines in case they can't make it to a gym or community class, Kohn said. And people shouldn't expect too much too soon, said Ksren Creswell, dietitian at Health America of Lincoln. It is best to set a weight-loss goal of only one or two pounds a week, Creswell said. And avoid reducing caloric intake too much, she said. While caloric needs vary with each person, the average man needs about 2,000 calories a day and the average woman noeds about 1,500 a day. Too much of a drop in calories may cause worse eating habits than the person had before dieting or even cause eating binges, Creswell said. About 85 percent of all people on diets will fail, Creswell said. Those who do succeed have three thing3 in common: They document their eating habits. They develop eating programs based on their needs, not their desires. They change their lifestyles.

Jon's Notes, a business in its second semester thai is operated by UNL freshman Jon Donlan, provides selected class notes through a $17 sub scription. Donian's business occupies a booth in the Lancaster House Printing tad Publishing Company, 12th and Q streets. "Lots of students can't take good notes," Don Ian said. Students can use the notes as an extra study gdde to supplement their notes, he said. "There are probably people who use it to skip classes, but most use it for good intentions," he said. And Donian's own intentions must be known to instructors. UNL Dean of Students David DeCcster sdd although Dcnlan makes contracts for Ms notes with instructors that conform to UNL policy, seme professors still are wiry. 'To my knowledge, that is going along well, but some professors think that it is a question able practice in teres of a leaning process," DeCcster said. Chemistry 110 instructor Victor Day is one who has questioned it. "When he called me I debated it a bit," Day said. But later he decided in favor cf the notes. This semester, Day's chem- attorney says new ruling istry class has been allowed the option of buying Jon's Notes. "It can be a good idea," Day said. "Sometimes students are too busy in class taking down defi nitions to listen. Linda Moody, a sophomore chemistry student, said to her, the notes are worth the expense. "With the notes you don't have to worry about writing down everything," Moody said. "You can concentrate on the lecture more." But Carol Lotven, coordinator of UNL's Learn ing Center, said supplementary notes may not help students. "When you write something down with your own muscles, a memory path b formed into the mind," Lotven said. Jon's Notes often can be a useful tool for international students, she said, "but if students come to use it as a substitute for class, they're only hurting themselves. Donlan said, according to his research, there was no noticeable decline in class attendance in the three classes that Jen's Notes were available in last semester. Donlan said he plans to do farther research to find out whether the notes really are helping students. This semester, Jen's Notes are available for: Zoology 112, John Janovy; History 201, James Sherwood; History 1C0, John Eumey, Chemistry 1 10, Victor Day; Anthropology 1 10, Ccbcrt Hitch cock and Alan Osborn; and Geography 150, Eruce Kopplin. could abuse student rights By Bsrbsra Comito i&SJl!feprt2r The potential for the abuse cf student rights is present in the Supreme Court's Jan. 15 ruling, which gives public school cScials more power to search high school students, according to a Lin coln attorney. - ' Don Taute, an associate with Rosenberg Law OSces, said he interprets the decision to mean that students could be searched "as long as school administrators, teachers cr cffldsls had & reasonable suspicion that a wrcr,g had taken place." Taute called this a "much lesser standard" than the probable cause required cf police officials. In-his dissent on the ruling, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said the decision made searches possible for any school violation, rather than just the violations the court was most concerned with drug use and violent crime. Sam Nelson, Lincoln High School principal, said he thinks abuse of the ruling is unlikely to : happen in Lincoln. While Nelson said he thinks he could find drugs if he searched students and lockers, he doesn't think that is the purpose cf the ruling. "I have no intention cf going on a witch hunt," Nelson said. .' Dick Kurtsnbach, executive director of the Nebraska Civil Liberties Union, said the group's national cfL1.ee has issued a statement spying it felt fortunate that the Supreme Court did not go so far as to say students have no Fourth Amend rosnt rights. u uvsLi VzJLrs a o o pf o, p n f"3 r- r- A n "73 j Xf M xIj LlZJ LJJ LIU lU U v0 v U L-ZJ vJ 11 f US Scarlet and I also watch for . . .
