People who are depressed about gaining "hol
iday" weight now may be struggling to lose it.
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.

control programs at UNL can be obtained from

educators Question

Although Jon's Notes may be help to students,
seme educators question their usefulness.
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.
