7.6 million grant awarded
By Molly Adams
Staff Reporter
A $7.6 million research support
grant has been awarded to the NU
Institute of Agriculture and Natural
Resources, said Glen Vollmar, act
ing dean of international programs.
The grant, awarded by the U.S.
agency for International Develop
ment, will fund a collaborative
research support program, the Inter
national Sorghum and Millet Pro
gram (Intsormil). Vollmar said the
program helps people in Third World
countries develop sorghum and pearl
Health Center cases double
CMH causes rasii of illnesses
From Staff Reports
About 70 walk-in patients more
than double the usual number were
treated Monday at the University
Health Center. '" v"
Dr. Gerald Fleischli, medical direc
tor and acting administrator of the
health center, said the increase was
caused by a rash of upper-respiratory
infections and common colds, which
usually last one or two weeks.
Because of the surge in patients,
Fleischli said, students with non-acute
illnesses should expect a two-day delay
in service.
Fleischli said the increase in illnesses
occurred early this year, possibly
because of cold weather. Usually the
rash of illnesses occurs mid-October.
Most students' symptoms include a
mild sore throat, nasal congestion, a
slight cough and malaise an overall
bad feeling. Most have not had a fever,
he said.

A man rubs his eyes and sighs as
he settles into a wooden bench.
"Two eggs over-easy and toast,"
he says, and the waitress, clad in
jeans and a T-shirt, bustles away.
Behind the booth, three young
men chat over their second cup of.
coffee.
"Yeah, I went on a blind date
once," says one of the men. "Oh,
god," he groans.
The men laugh and continue to
sip coffee from their unmatched
cups.
Outside, a yellow sign reads,
"Stormie's Kitchen. For night owls
and early birds."
The restaurant is open from 11
p.m. to 8 a.m. Monday through Sat
urday, a time when most restaurant
owners close their doors. But Stor
mie's owner, Bob Von Busch, doesn't
mind the hours. People need a place
to eat in the wee hours of the morn
ing, he said.
The wee hours tend to draw out

UNL is the leading university in
Intsormil which combines the efforts
of six U.S. universities, Vollmar
said. Other schools involved in the
program include Purdue University,
Texas A&M University, Kansas State
University, Mississippi State Uni

said UNL is responsible for program

home, Fleischli said. But those with a
temperature of 101 or 102 degrees,
chronic problems such as asthma or a
eold that lasts more than two weeks
should come to the health center, he
said.
For students who treat themselves,
Fleischli recommended methods:
O For symptomatic relief, students
can use over-the-counter cold medi-.
cines, such as a combination of antih
istamines and decongestants. Students
can ask a pharmacist to recommend
medication, he said.
O Also, students should work on
strengthening their bodies by drinking
fluids. They also should eat nutritious
foods rich in vitamins. And students
should rest, Fleischli said.
"Rest is most important, yet it's the
hardest for students to do," he said.
To prevent illnesses, Fleischli recom
mended good nutrition, rest and clean
liness. Students should wash their
hands before they eat and not put

the people Stormie's serves come
from all walks of life.
"If you don't like it,, wait 30 min

About the time Von Busch says
this, a man in a flannel shirt and

and lights a cigarette. Another man
picks up his briefcase and heads for

Stormie's food is as varied as its
clientele. But Stormie's serves break

And with every order of coffee,
customers receive a second cup

cup, however. Von Busch said he

"The benefits of this program will
help not only these countries, but
will also benefit Nebraska farmers
who produce sorghum," Vollmar said.
Another benefit of the research
program: it is a collaborative effort
not only between the universities,
but between other countries, Vol

Fleischli said the health center could
cut down on patient waiting time if
students who get well after making an
appointment would call and cancel the
appointment. Fleischli said that of the
130 appointments made daily at the
health center, about 25 people do not
show up.
Class excuses also increased wait
ing time for patients, Fleischli said.
Last year, doctors and nurses wrote 493
class excuses.
Fleischli said the Health Center
Student Advisory Board is checking
into cutting down on the number of
excuses by limiting them to long-term
illnesses or problems that affect the
students' overall performance in a
course. For example, a student with a
sprained ankle should have a written
excuse for a dance class. But those
with minor illnesses could tell profes
sors themselves, rather than having a
doctor or nurse do it, he said.

An immediate halt of construction of
the UNL women's athletic study facility
has been ordered by the Harper-Schramm-Smith
complex senate be
cause of a UNL athletic department
move HSS senate members claim vio
lates building use policy.
A 1982 HSS buidling use policy rec
ognizes the senate's power to regulate
the use of common areas in the com
plex. The policy also states that the
HSS senate has the sole power to
approve any use of complex areas not
in accordance of the HSS building
policy.
The resolution, however, will not
hold ground according to UNL Housing
Director Douglas S. Zatechka.
"Final say over the matter is not up
to the HSS complex senate. That kind
of decision is left to the university, to
the chancellor and ultimately the Board
of Regents," Zatechka said.
The HSS complex senate also ordered
a delay of the facility's opening. A
Residence Hall Association and ASUN
ad hoc committee will investigate UNL's
decision to build the women's study
area without student approval.
"We are not opposing the building of.
the women's study facility," said Syd
ney Warner, ad hoc committee chair
woman and Smith Hall president. "There
is a need for that. What we feel is that
not enough effort was made to contact
us. It (beginning of construction) was
also very poorly timed."
Warner said that she and two other
RHA members, John Danforth and Mike
Baacke, were working in the RHA office
during the summer session and would
have "commented gladly" on the wom
en's study facility had they been con
.in
Vol. 85 No. 22
tacted.
"In any case like this I do consult
the students," Zatechka said. "How
ever, because I was asked to find a
place for the facility during the summer
when most student leaders are not
here, I was not able to consult them."
Zatechka said he chose the Smith
Hall pianostudy lounge area for the
women's athletic study facility because
it met four criteria;
O The Smith pianostudy area was
the most cost-efficient area at UNL
O Smith Hall houses the majority
of UNL's women athletes.
O Women's practice fields are near
Smith Hall.
O Smith's piano and study lounge
area was not being used by most
residents.
"Anytime I make a decision like
this, it is made with consideration of
those it may inconvenience. I felt that
putting the women's facility there would
inconvenience students the least. I
also knew there would be some dis
gruntle about the decision," Zatechka
said.
"If there is a need for another study
area or a piano room in HSS we will find
a place," Zatechka said. RHA and HSS
members interviewed said they did not
know of any available space in HSS.
"Ideally we would like for the facil
ity to be relocated. We also realize that
this may not be possible at this time.
We are open to all possibilities, but we
will put our foot down on this. We don't
want it to happen again," Warner said,
commented.
A meeting between Zatechka and
some ASUN and RHA ad hoc investiga
tive committee members is scheduled
for today. Reports from the meeting
will be given following an ASUN meet
ing at 6:30 p.m. in the East Union.
