Chernobyl still concerns Lincolnites
By Margaret Maloney
Staff Reporter
A year after the Chernobyl nuclear
accident in the Soviet Union, at least
two Lincoln residents still have con
cerns about the long-term effects of
radiation.
Fusun Sayood, a graduate chemistry
student from Turkey received a bulk
„ wad of Turkish tea from her parents.
Because of the Chernobyl disaster,
Sayood had the tea tested for radioac
tive poisoning.
“1 was worried. It was after Cher
nobyl and 1 didn’t know enough. We
took it to Larry Grimm for testing,”
Sayood said.
Through her studies in chemistiy,
Sayood was familiar with Grimm, UNL
safety radiation officer, and asked him
to test the tea. Grimm ran the first and
subsequent tests last February, finding
the presence of radioactive elements
Cesium 134 and 137, elements consist
ent with those released by the Cher
. nobyl disaster. Samples sent by Grimm
to the Nebraska Public Power District
for analysis confirmed his results.
Although Sayood did not drink the
tea, it would have been fairly safe.
“We brewed it fairly strong. To be
affected you would have to drink a cou
ple of hundred cups,” Grimm said.
Because students do not usually
have things teted in his office, Grimm
considered this a “one-time deal.”
Testing for radioactive elements in
produce sent from home is rare here
because only a few Eastern European
students attend UNL. Peter Levitov,
director of International Educational
Services, has had no reports of interna
tional students coming into contact
with radioactive goodies sent from
home.
But Wieslaw Szydlowski, associate
professor of mechanical engineering,
has many concerns. Szydlowski came
to the United States from Poland in
1983. Although he was in the United
States when the Chernobyl disaster
occurred, he was worried for the people
in Poland, including his older son liv
ing in Warsaw.
“I was scared,” he said. “Initially
the information available made it look
like a big disaster.”
Although Szydlowski has never re
ceived any produce from home to cause
concern, he worries about the possible
long-term effects of radioactive poison
ing.
“I don’t know how strong the radia
tion is. I am far from understanding
that area of science. I am worried about
long-term effects such as cancer,” he
said.
Though it has been more than a year
and the panic has subsided, Szyd
lowski said he thinks the people of
Poland are still worried.
"I don’t think they’re sure every
thing is over. People are sensitive
because they don’t understand,” he
said.
One issue they may be sensitive
about is the effect Chernobyl had on
Poland’s economy. Szydlowski said a
large portion of Poland’s income is
from exports. Exports detained because
of the Chernobyl disaster resulted in a
loss of income.
Tywanna Paul, consumer affairs
officer of the Food and Drug Adminis
tration, said the FDA, the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Customs Service
and the Environmental Protection
Agency routinely monitor commercial
shipments exported from eastern Euro
pean countries affected by Chernobyl.
"Customs officers who receive com
mercial shipments from eastern Euro
pean countries that will be put into
retail distribution will call the FDA,”
Paul said. "They check to ensure the
shipment meets FDA safety and label
ing regulations.”
Individual shipments, like Sayood’s,
are still subject to FDA regulation but
are not routinely inspected for incom
ing produce. They are only inspected
from time to time.
Any tainted shipments from eastern
Europe enroute to Nebraska would
probably be detained at ports of entry,
Paul said.

RHA approves budget,
officers to get nothing;
$23,475 alloted . . .
By Shawn Hubbell
Staff Reporter
The Residence Hall Association
Thursday approved a bill that will allo
cate $23,475 for its 1987 fall budget,
but only after a portion of the bill was
deleted.
KHA will divide $18,780 between all
resident hall governments, which in
k turn will give portions to each resident
hall floor. Floor governments will decide
how the money will be spent. The
remainder of the money, $4,095, will
fund KHA activities this fall.
All the money comes from a $5 resi
dent fee.
The original bill allocated $850 for
executive officer salaries. But that por
lion of the bill met stiff opposition from
residence hall senators.
Peg Kalvoda, RHA treasurer, said by
paying the executive officers, it would
help entice more quality people to run
for the positions.
But others disagreed. Christopher
Lehan, Harper RHA senator, said that
although more residents might run for
a paid position, “1 think they’ll have
dollar signs in their eyes,’’ he said.
Ken Libby, RHA speaker, agreed that
executive officers should not be paid.
“I’m here to learn, to experience and
for the friendships that will develop,"
he said. “The money has no value."
Russ Johnson, RHA president, said if
officers were paid, then RHA members
would be less reluctant to let lazy
officers keep their jobs. He said he felt
in years past, some RHA members
should have been kicked off the com
mittee, but said senators were reluc
tant to do so.
Sex educator says teen contraception is important
By Tim Borchers
Staff Reporter
‘Sexpert ’ Gordon stresses need for intimacy and true love
Just saying no to kids isn’t good
enough when talking about sex, a sex
educator said Thursday night.
Parents should deal with all issues,
including contraceptives when talking
about sex with their kids, professor Sol
Gordon told a crowd of about 75 educa
tors and parents at Lincoln’s Planned
Parenthood.
Gordon said a double method should
be enforced when dealing with kids. If
kids won’t refrain from sex, he said,
parents should encourage them to use
contraceptives.
Gordon’s presentation was sponsored
by the Educational Department of Lin
coln’s Planned Parenthood. He received
his Ph.D from the University of London
in 1953. He has served as professor of
child and family studies at Syracuse
University and is currently the director
of The Institute for Family Research
and Education.
His lecture in Lincoln dealt mainly
with the issues he believed should be
taught in any sex education course.
“Just saying ‘no’ is hypocrisy,” he
said. “We know our kids will make mis
‘There is no con
nection between
sex and love. Peo
ple have sex every
day that hate each
other.’ ,
— (jordon
takes and we have to turn those into
lessons.”
Gordon said he believes kids
shouldn’t have sex, but if they do, they
should use contraceptives.
“We have to have a contraceptive
message that makes sense,” he said.
He said communication with stu
dents is the key to sex education.
“They need to understand some
thing about love. The thing that counts
is intimacy, that’s the real turn on,” he
said.
Intimacy, he said, is the key to a
lasting relationship.
“Chemistry lasts two weeks,” he
said.
He said sex should be ninth in
importance in a marriage, with inti
macy being number one and a sense of
humor number two.
“Sex education should be learning
about love,” he said. “There is no con
nection between sex and love. People
have sex every day that hate each
other.”
“We must distinguish between im
mature and mature love. Sex is never a
test of love,” he said.
Immature love, he said, is marked by
meanness and violence.
“We must get the message across
early. It would revolutionize society,”
he said.
