Lowell Satterlee, director of the Food Processing Center on
UNL's East Campus, would like to change the ingredients of
Le Menu teen dinners.
He wants the company, which produces the dinners in Omaha
using other states' food products, to use Nebraska vegetables.
The Food Processing Center is working on a solution for that and
about S3 other food processing puzzles. '
The center, which opened in 1883 as a joint venture between
UNI, the stats Department of Ecomonic Development and private
industry, studies different ways to process food that was grown or
. raised in Nebraska.
Satterlee said the center's current 40 projects include one that
would help pre-process vegetables grown in Western Nebraska's
sandy soil for use in frozen food packages, such as Le Mesa.. ' -. ,

UNL students are running in step
with their fitness-conscious counter
parts at other United States schools.
And to keep pace, UNL fitness instruc
tors have updated their classes.
According to a story in this month's
Newsweek On Campus, more college
students are getting into shape, thanks
to improved physical education classes.
Nearly 78 percent of the students
Newsweek polled said they exercise at
least once a week to keep physically fit.
Fiity-two percent of these students
thought college students should be
required to take PE classes.
Most UNL colleges have not required
PE classes since the ICCCs and '7Cs.
But instructors say that interest in
classes has increased, especially in
individual fitness classes. .
The department has responded by
emphasizing more of individual fitness
classes and fewer competitive .spcrts
' classes. -- , , ,
Tom Wanzilak, assistant professor cf
health, physical education and rec
"reation, ' said the department began
emphasizing individual fitness classes
such as weightlifting, swimming and
running after ; the fitness movement
began in the 1980s. People became
more interested in their health and
appearance, Wanzilak said, and classes
developed from this consciousness.
Before this, competitive sports class-es
weren't popular, he said. Not everyone
can play competitive sports well, so
they naturally avoided these classes,
he said.
But students can see their improve
ments more easily in individual fitness
classes, and like them better, Wanzilak
said.
The department's most recent way of
.promoting individual fitness is the
Center for Healthy Lifestyles in the
Coliseum.
The center's classes teach students
about aerobic fitness, good nutrition
and stress management, and Kelps
them apply those things to their everyday
.lives, he said.
. . John Seheer, who was' the center's
directar when it opened in 1881, said
' the nm&Mr cf people enrolled in the
SM or UPC at a booth that will be in '
Uie Nebraska Union.
The farms then will be entered kto a
. computer and the participants' 10 meat
compatible men cr womea will be
listed along with their -telephone
On April 14, frcm 7 to 11 p.m. in the
union's Centennial Eallrocm, a video
dance will be held and entrants will be
able to meet the p; " r "3 cn the:r liat
The dance will f::tare videos by
artists such as Ma ;"na, AaMard and
Stepson, U2, Cyr.di La:;;r, The Ti:ae,
Klymaxx, The Fixx, 1;V. irj IL:-d3 and
Frankia Goes to Ilal'ad. The vidsss
will appear on a 14-foot screen with the
music encompassing the ro-am by way
cf four large spetkers. , ;
Jay Wieseler, Chairman cf the event
for SAA, said the group Is hoping for a

center's classes has increased.
"We expected 15 students, but had
70 the first semester," Seheer said.
Since then, the number has more
than tripled. In 1082-83, more than COO
students used the center through classes
such as PE 1023, PE 1123 and a three-credit-hour
healthy lifestyles class.
HPER, through programs such as the
center and other healthy lifestyles
classes, hopes to help students achieve
long-term fitness, Scheer said. Classes
that are self-paced or emphasize indi
vidual activity are the best way to
achieve long-term fitness, he said.
"Personal fitness goals are more
motivating for long term fiir.es3, which
is what we're really alter in HPER," he
said. "We hope students wouldn't end
their fitness programs after one
semester."
But students don't have to take
HPE5 classes to get in shape and
many don't. According to Vickl
Highstreet, director of aerobic con
ditioning classes offered through the
University KsthCentertween 433
'"to '500 felttdiiiti enrolled in each of the
six-week sessions last semester.
"People are becoming more aware of
what they need to do for themselves,"
Highstreet said. "I don't think it's a fad
and I don't think it's popularity."
The health center offers three kinds
of classes: aerobic conditioning, body
toning and aerobic dancing. Highstreet
said the conditioning classes are the
best attended.
Another well-used option is campus
recreation. Paul Erickson of the rec
reation department said that from July
1884 to December 1084, 14,1 men
and 2,113 women used the Coliseum
weightroom during open recreation
hours. During the same period, 1,513
men and 1,321 women swim in Mabel
Lee Pool during open rec hours.
The numbers could be higher if the
department had more places for
students to work out and more open
hours for them to do it in . Erickson
said campus recreation at UNL ranks
lowest in the Big Eight for availability.
That's because UNL doesn't have a
recreation center for students and
open recreation has last priority her.
"I . can't think cf another lugs
university other than us that doesn't
have a rec center," he said.

said. "When UFC did it themselves last '
year, they had a turnout cf about COD'
pecple, so we're hoping for about 1,CC3."
' Meselsr said the idea for a video
compatibility dance came up when tha
group had to replace the annual Ocz:halI
event because cf bad weather.
' "We knev? students like OosebaU,
but we thought they might like a
change." Wiessier said.
.- Wiesekr said students who don't
want to attend the dance still can get
.their lists by going to the booth in the
union the day after the dance.
The cost of the dance andor the list
will be $2. Proceeds will go to the
.Financial Aid Foundation, which will
use the money to eat up achala
for students.
