However, he said, there are
some limitations on the extent to
which residents may renovate their
rooms.
Bunks and other constructions
muslbc free-standing. No holes are
allowed in the walls, and the exist
ing furniture cannot be used as
structure support.
Residents may not paint the
rooms without permission of the
housing office and then only with
housing-approved paints.
The main point, Schumann
said, is that the room must be in the
same condition when the residents
leave as it was when they arrived.
“As long as a resident doesn’t
destroy things for the students
coming afterwards, the sky is the
limit,” he said.
Schumann, who has worked
with university housing for eight
years, said he is amazed at some of
the extensive stereo systems he has
seen, the expensive furniture and
the different designs of suspended
bunks.
Schumann said he haseven seen
rooms where students have built
extra floor decks to elevate sec
tions of the room.
To Svanda, these “extrava
gances” are the necessities.
“I look around at some of the
other rooms where there may only
be a strip of carpet through the
center and maybe a couch if they’re
lucky.” He shook his head. “I
couldn’t handle that for nine
months out of the year.”

Specialist says exercise good for heart
By Lisa Twiestmeyer
Staff Reporter
Exercise not only prevents coronary dis
ease, but treats it, a cardiac rehabilitation spe
cialist said Wednesday night.
Dr. Noel D. Ncquin, director of the Cardiac
Rehabilitation and Health Enhancement Cen
ter at Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago,
gave the September keynote speech for the
University Health Center’s Wellness Bound
program in the East Campus Union.
Ncquin told a crowd of 125 that after most
people reach the age of 25, they begin to lead
less active lives. This is a significant coronary
risk, he said, and the bad habits leading up to
this can begin during childhood.
Ncquin said that 50 percent of American
youth arc overweight and 33 percent arc con
sidered obese. Even 11- and 12-year olds, he
said, experience high blood pressure and cho
lesterol. These childhood condition scan lead to
cardiovascular disease in adults, which ac
counts for almost 50 percent of deaths in
America, he said.
Exercise plays a key role in preventing heart
disease, Ncquin said. But, unlike in earlier
years, exercise is now being used in cardiac
rehabilitation. In the 1930s, he said, doctors
demanded eight weeks cf bedrest for heart
attack patients. Now, patients can be released
from the hospital four days after an attack, he
said.
Ncquin said physical activity is the most
important aspect of cardiac rehabilitation to
day.
“It should have been this way earlier,”
Ncquin said. “Now, the goal of cardiac reha
bilitation is to get the patient out of bed early
and into exercise and risk reduction programs.
We want them back to their former capacity.”
Ncquin developed his own rehabilitation
program, called the Chicago Running Hearts.
In his program, he said, he selects cardiac
patients to train and run in races and marathons.
The patients arc carefully monitored, he said,
and do not run to compete.
“The program is used as a motivation tool,”
i _
Nequin said. “Patients arc inspired to maintain
long-term cardiovascular health, and the myth
of cardiac invalidism is eliminated.”
Nequin said he can empathize with his
patients, because he was a cardiac patient
himself. He outlined his own case history of
cardiac illness and surgery, and said that like
many of his patients, he denied the symptoms
as they developed. He is now long-distance
running, as he did before his illness, he said.
If a person wants to reduce the risk of a
cardiac event, Nequin said, an aerobic fitness
program should be maintained. Non-stop aero
bic exercise for 30 minutes, five or six days a
week, will greatly reduce the chance for coro
nary problems.
