Robin Linafclter said he likes to be
called Robb and perfers to be thought
of as a nursing student, not a male
nursing student.
"I grew up with the name Robin all
my life," Unafelter said. "I can handle
being stereotyped."
Linafelter is one of four UNL nursing
students who are men. The 20-year-old
junior said he thinks it will take time
for society to fully accept men as
nurses.
Bev Cunningham, student affairs ad
viser in the College of Nursing, said
some patients can adjust easily to hav
ing a male nurse, but others can't.
Cunningham said she thinks if more
men went into nursing, salaries would
rise. A nurse's salary would be thought
of a primary income, rather than a
second income, she said.

Steve Zeplin, a UNL sophomore, is
another male nursing student. He and
Linafclter are in the first year of the
nursing program.
Zeplin, who lived In Superior most of
his life but graduated from Lincoln
Pius X High School, said it is difficult
for some people to accept his career
choice.
'I still feel a little weird telling
someone I'm a nursing student," Zeplin
said.
Men in the nursing program who are
successful are those who are secure in
their "maleness," Cunningham said.
About two men enter the program
yearly, she said.
Linafelter, from Allen, said he gets
along well with patients for whom he
has cared. He said he feels he is sensi
tive to patients' needs.
Linafelter is earning his associate
degree in nursing from UNL and his
bachelor's from Nebraska Wesleyan
University.
Linafelter and Zeplin first met each
other when they escorted dates to a
sorority formal last year at Wesleyan.
They sat across from each other and
discovered they were both entering
UNL's nursing program.
They had another coincidental meet
ing. Zeplin was working at Milder
Manor Nursing Home as an orderly.
Linafelter, who was working for Roper
& Sons Inc. funeral home, went to
Milder Manor to pick up a body. The
two students said they were surprised
when they saw each other at the home.
Linafelter, who is 6 feet 2 inches tall
and weighs 195 pounds, said he enjoys
sports. Along with heavy nursing text
books, he carries a racquetball racket
with him to classes. He takes a rac
quetball class at UNL
Linafelter also participates in intra
mural basketball and in intramural
football at Wesleyan. He is president of
Wesleyan's Tau Kappa Epsilon fratern
ity. Zeplin said he is also interested in
sports, especially golf. The 6-foot-l-inch
blond plays on a UNL intramural bas
ketball team. Zeplin also is a member
of the Army National Guard.

Report
Reagan agrees to follow
SALT II missle limits
WASHINGTON President Reagan said Monday he would continue to
abide by missile limits in the unratified SALT II treaty as long as the
Soviet Union did likewise and actively pursued further arms control
agreements.
Reagan announced his decision in a statement read to a press, confer
ence by Robert McFarlane, his national security adviser.
"I am prepared to go the extra mile in seeking an interim framework of
truly mutual (arms) restraint," Reagan said.
The NATO allies had urged Reagan to continue observing the treaty,
warning that if it were abandoned, the arms-control process would be
harmed and the United States would suffer in the court of public opinion.
Reagan announced that he planned "to deactivate and dismantle,"
according to agreed procedures in SALT II, a Poseidon submarine when
the United States puts a new Trident submarine armed with 24 nuclear
missiles into service this fall.
The SALT II accord allows each side 1,200 launchers for missiles with
multiple warheads. The United States would exceed the limit by 14 if it
did not dismantle an older submarine when the new Trident went to sea.
Washington has accused Moscow of several SALT II violations, includ
ing the coding of missile test data and the development of two new
missiles, one more than the treaty allows.
Israeli army units leave Lebanon
METULLAH, Israel The Israeli army withdrew its last units from
Lebanon Monday but left behind military advisers and plainclothes
agents to watch over a southern border zone, generals at the frontier said.
Generals told reporters the army had now pulled out its last unit,
ending a three-year occupation that cost Israel 654 dead and divided the
nation.
"Israel is completing its departure from Lebanese land and from
Lebanese politics," Prime Minister Shimon Peres told parliament in
Jerusalem.
The Lebanese government, however, contended that Israel had not
completely withdrawn.
"Lebanon will consider Israeli forces to have withdrawn from its
territory only when the last Israeli soldier has left," said foreign Ministry
Secretary-General Fuad Turk. .... . .
Former Prime Minister Selim Hoss said the presence of Israeli advisers
in the border strip "means that Israel has not withdrawn...the word
advisers is in fact a code-name for a military presence left by Israel."
Hoss, a senior government minister, said Lebanon would not consider
the withdrawal complete until all Israeli troops and their "puppet forces"
of the 2,000-member South Lebanon Army had left.
Jury acquits Von Bulow in retrial
PROVIDENCE, R. I. Claus von Bulow was acquitted today at his
second trial of charges of trying to kill his millionaire wife twice by
injecting her with insulin.
The normally unemotional, aristocratic von Bulow clasped his hands
and bowed his head when the jury announced the not quilty verdict it had
reached after 16 hours of deliberations over four days.
The jury apparently was swayed by nine defense medical experts who
testified that Martha von Bulow"s two comas, including a second irrevers
ible one, were caused by a combination of drugs and drinks and could not
have been caused by insulin injections.
The state claimed he had injected her with insulin to inherit part of her
$75 million Pittsburgh Utilities fortune and be free to marry his then
mistress, soap opera actress Alexandra Isles.
Von Bulow was found guilty at his first trial in 1982 and sentenced to 30
years in jail. But that verdict was overturned on a legal technicality and a
new trial ordered.
Court favors regional banking laws
WASHINGTON A unanimous Supreme Court Monday ruled in favor of
state laws that ban major banks from joining regional banking mergers.
The justices upheld Massachusetts and Connecticut laws that allow
mergers among banks in the region but exclude big banks from taking
part, such as banks in New York or other major financial centers.
Monday's decision held that regional laws were consistent with the
intent of Congress in retaining local, community-based control over
banking.
The court rejected arguments posed by three major banks that chal
lenged the regional banking laws. The three large bank holding compan
ies, Citicorp, Union Trust Co. and Northeast Bancorp, said, among other
things, that interstate commerce was being illegally restricted.
Israel plans Mideast peace talks
JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister Shimo Peres today unveiled a
plan for direct Middle East peace talks with Jordan and the Palestinians
within three months with support from the United Nations.
The j,lan, outlined in an address to parliament, rejected King Hussein's
proposal for an international Mideast peace conference that would
include the Soviet Union.
But the involvement of the United Nations was an apparent response to
the Jordanian monarch's call for an international unbrella for the talks.
"We are convinced that it is possible to say to our friends across the sea
asd to our neighbors across the (Jordan) river, that despite the obstacles
and the difficulties along the way, it is possible to reach direct negotia
tions," Peres insisted.
The plan, containing no radical departure from previous policy, called
for continuing consultations between the United States and Israel, Jor
dan, Egypt and Palestinians who are not members of the Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO).
Peres urged that the direct talks start within three months and that the
United States attend.
