Men once had few options in
grooming products: cologne, after
shave, some facia) soap. But today's
men face department store coun
ters stocked with facial scrubs,
moisterizers, hair thickeners and
skin bronzers.
Robert Hillestad, UNL professor
of textiles, clothing and design,
said the fitness trend had emphas
ized self-improvement.
"Men are more interested in a lot
of things now than they used to be,"
Hillestad said. "They're interested
in clothing, their appearance and
grooming."
Rita Kean, assistant professor of
textiles, clothing and design, said
skin care is more acceptable to men
now because of marketing changes.
"Companies have changed their
product mixes to better suit men
and have changed their marketing
approach," she said. "It's more
prescriptive skin care than cosmetic
now. Men's skin care used to be
labeled as things like cosmetic bars
and skin bronzers. Cosmetics do not
appeal to men in general, but they
do want to take care of their skin."
Cynthia Zapotocky, Ben Simon's
counter manager of Clinique for
Men, said she thinks the media
encourages male acceptance of skin
care.
"College students and young
executives read magazines like GQ,
Special singles albums
provide diverse offerings

up to sldi care
see the line ads, and come in to
check the products out. College-age
men are our biggest buyers, but they
usually buy piece-by-piece before
getting into the full regimen,"
Zapotocky said.
Jeff Woods, Miller and Paine rep
resentative for Royal Copenhagen,
Jan Stuart and Calvin Klein, said he
sells more men's cologne to women,
but men buy their own skin care and
are becoming less inhibited at in
quiring about the products.
Although interest is increasing,
sales are not.
"There's still a lot of prejudice,"
he said. "Good skin care doesn't
seem to fit into the macho image."
"Men's skin care lines have been
out on the coasts for some time. The
Midwest is often overlooked at first
when new products come out, but
the (skin care) lines are finally
extending throughout the country,"
Woods said.
While men's skin care products
are relatively new to the Midwest,
Royal Copenhagen, one of the first
men's grooming lines, has been
available at Miller and Paine for
more than 15 years, Woods said.
"It's mostly the same men who've
always been interested in skin care
that use the full system the bus
iness men but younger interest is
picking up," he said. "There's always
been a market for men's skin care, it
just took the companies to decide it
was cost effective to produce and
market the lines."

Miller and Paine offers packages
with samples of skin care regimens.
The Royal Copenhagen and Jan Stuart
systems consist of a facial soap, a
scrub, skin toner and moisturizer.
Royal Copenhagen's package costs
$8.50 and Jan Stuart's, which in
cludes a sample of cologne, costs
$15.
Men's and women's grooming
products have been available at Ben
Simon's since last October, Zapo
tocky said. Ben Simon's male lines,
Estee Lauder and Clinique for Men,
also have full skin care systems, she
said. Estee Lauder's $25 sample kit
includes a facial soap, a shave
cream, a face tonic, a skin repair
lotion and a moisturizer.
"We help a man determine his
skin type, show him how to use the
products he's chosen, and keep a
file on each customer to develop a
more personalized skin care regi
men. There are also many corres
ponding products in each line, such
as cologne, shampoos, deodorants,
gels and beard softeners for a better
shave to choose from," Zapotocky
said.
Hillestad said he thinks men's
skin care is a positive trend.
"I think this trend will continue,"
he said. "Being concerned with
appearance is a very healthy ex
pression of an individual or group.
It's a reflection of a more sophisti
cated lifestyle."

Lincoln native's book
outlines benefits of
smoking regulations
By Molly Adams
Staff Reporter
A former Lincoln native, now living
in Seattle, has co-written a book that
examines the benefits of smoking res
trictions in the workplace.
Bruce Miller, who received degrees
from Nebraska Wesleyan University and
UNL, is lead writer for "The Smoke
Free Workplace," which he co-authored
with William Weis. In the book, Miller
and Weis outline reasons why a busi
ness will benefit from restricting or
banning smoking on the job.
Otis Sunderman, a supervisor with
the Lincoln Department of Environ
mental Health, said he thinks a book
like Miller's could have a lot of influ
ence on businesses.
Sunderman said he receives at least
one call a week from people who are
concerned with the consequences of
working in a smoky environment.
Sunderman said his department will
work with the management to try and
help alleviate the problem.
Smoking strategies
Miller offers some strategies for
employers and employees of smoky
workplaces for cleaning the indoor air
environment. The book shows through
numerous employee surveys that smok
ing restrictions are welcome.
The book's forward, written by Stan
ton Glantz, president of Californians
for Nonsmokers' Rights, says "employees
welcome smoking restrictions. . . and
(the book) illustrates how easy it is to
develop and implement these policies."
Glantz's organization is respnsible
for the successful implementation of a
clean air policy in San Francisco.

UNL sophomores Wallace Dawkins
and Tonya Horn were crowned Mr. and
Miss Black UNL Sunday in the Nebraska
Union Ballroom.
Horn, an undeclared student from
Omaha, and Dawkins, a pre-veterinary
and broadcasting major from South
Sioux City, will represent UNL in the
Big Eight competition at the University
of Missouri, in February, said Carla
Johnson-Kimbrough, executive direc
tor of the pageant.
The competition was open to all
black students of UNL, Johnson
Kimbrough said. Four men and five
women entered the pageant, she said.
Juniors Darrell Hornsby and Irene
Johnson were chosen as first runners
up for the pageant.
Johnson-Kimbrough said the com
petitors were judged on intelligence
and personality. She said judges made
Vol. 85 No. 61
policy requires all employers, with the
exception of state and federal offices,
to provide no-smoking areas in the
workplace for non-smoking employees.
Sunderman said he doesn't know if
Lincoln will adopt a similar policy
because the city follows the state's
Clean Indoor Air Act which states that
relief shall be given to the non-smoker.
UNL also follows the state law, said
Earl Brown, director of environmental
health and safety.
Brown said public areas at UNL are
considered non-smoking areas unless
otherwise posted. The NU Board of
Regents established a no-smoking pol
icy in classrooms, but private offices
are left up to the individual.
Stricter policies
Brown said most complaints he
receives deal with office areas. He said
he works with the office personnel to
resolve the problem. Good compliance
can be expected, he said.
Some Lincoln businesses are adopt
ing stricter smoking policies for the
comfort and well-being of their em
ployees and customers.
Ron Pierson, second vice-president
of personnel at Security Mutual Life
Insurance, said the company's new
smoking policy was welcomed by non
smoking employees.
"As of Oct. 7, we do not permit smok
ing anywhere except in the lobby and
one part of the cafeteria," Pierson said.
Lela Kelliher, media coordinator for
the Lincoln Telephone Company, said
the company's new smoking policy was
developed according to state law and it
complies with Lincoln Health Depart
ment regulations.
A check of some Lincoln hotels
found that rooms are now available for
non-smokers only.

views, talent competition and on-stage
appearances.
The talent show performances and
the questions asked were based on
black culture and ideas, Johnson
Kimbrough said.
Judges looked for black people who
are aware of their black identity, and
the competition is one way to promote
black awareness, she said.
Horn said she is proud to be Miss

"I wanted to prove to myself that I
could get up on stage again, and I did
it," she said.
Dawkins said the pageant was a
great achievement.
"I look at it as reaching another
goal," he said.
Johnson-Kimbrough said about 200
people attended the pageant including
Mrs. Nebraska, Marcelle Nedrow; Fred
Conley, Omaha city council member;
and Bob Devaney, UNL athletic director.
