NMR’s popular in medicine field

for the large magnet. The smaller new
magnet needs changing about once
every two months, he said.
The large, 350-megahertz magnet
is an 85,000 gauss magnet. A gauss is
a unit used to measure the strength of
a magnetic field. Comparatively, the
earth’s magnetic field is one-half of a
gauss at its surface.
Magnets aren’t the only things that
attract Shoemaker’s interest. Shoe
maker has a family and enjoys the
outdoors.
Shoemaker, married for six years,
lives in Lincoln with his wife Rachel
and 11-month-old daughter,
Christine.
During his spare time, Shoemaker
enjoys entertaining his daughter and
several sports.
Shoemaker also does work outside
the chemistry department. Many lo
cal businesses and other colleges
request his advice and expertise for
NMR experiments. They also send
him samples to run through the NMR
spectrometers.
Other departments also use the
NMR laboratory.
Biology and biochemistry have
found NMR to be very useful, Shoe
maker said. Biologists and biochem
ists use NMR to identify structures of
proteins and gene splicing experi
ments.
Many people have a hard time
understanding NMR and its possibili
ties, Shoemaker said.
A common misconception is that
nuclear radiation is involved, Shoe
maker said.
“You hear nuclear and you think
radiation,” he said. “There’s no nu
clear radiation involved. The reason
it’s called Nuclear Magnetic Reso
nance is, we’re looking at the mag
netic resonance of a nucleus.
NMR has been popularized re
cently becau se of its new applications
in medicine as a replacement for x
rays, Shoemaker said.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
produces a three-dimensional picture
similar to a CAT scan, but without
any nuclear radiation.
“You can stick someone’s whole
body or head or whatever into the
magnet and actually observe different
frequencies and with a bunch of
powerful computers, map out an
exact image of someone’s brain or
someone’s heart,” he said. “It’s a very
powerful technique."

ASUN votes on communication bill
By Lee Rood
Senior Reporter
The Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska will vote on
legislation Wednesday that could
increase communication between
ASUN and the student body.
Jeff Petersen, ASUN president,
said three pieces of legislation sched
uled for debate at AS UN’s last meet
ing of the semester are intended to
strengthen ASUN senators’ ac
countability to their constituents.
Bylaw F, one of Petersen’s cam
paign promises, calls for the estab
lishment of a residence liaison com
mittee.
Committee members would in
clude individuals elected from resi
dence hall floors and Greek houses.
Kim Beavers, ASUN 2nd vice presi
dent, would be chairman.
The ASUN Speaker of the Senate
and Appointments Board Student at
Large and any interested students
would also be given membership.
Another suggested bylaw change
would require ASUN senators to set
up monthly meetings with constitu
ents from their colleges.
Petersen said senators would have
the meetings to address student con
cerns and let them know what ASUN
is working on.
ASUN members will also discuss
sending out a monthly newsletter to
students in residence halls and Greek
houses. The newsletter was previ
ously sent out twice a semester, Pe
tersen said.
“I think this (the proposed
changes) will give us a chance to
solicit input and in turn be a lot more
representative of the students,” Pe
tersen said.
Senators will also discuss a bill
requesting the implementation of an
affirmative action program at UNL to
increase minority faculty members
and an amendment allowing senators
to review candidates being consid
ered by the ASUN Appointments
Board.
Service is moved to attract students
By David Uczen
Staff Reporter
University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s
Job Board has been relocated in an
effort to attract more students to its
services.
The board, previously located
outside the Office of Scholarships and
Financial Aid, has been moved to
Administration Building 120 next to
the Internship and Cooperative Edu
cation Office, said Jennifer
Campbell, the new coordinator of the
Job Location Office, which runs the
service.
Bill McFarland, director of the
Office of Scholarships and Financial
Aid, said the move is part of a pro
gram to enhance the Career Planning
and Placement Center. The program
was initiated by James Griesen, vice
chancellor for student affairs.
Because the job board is in front of
the Internship and Cooperative Edu
cation Office, it is hoped students will
use the office, McFarland said. If
students use the internship office
now, he said, they probably will use
the placement center when they
graduate.
Like Career Planning and Place
ment, which helps bring career-seek
ing students and employers together,
the Job Location Office helps locate
and develop part-time and summer
jobs for students, Campbell said.
Most of the jobs are offered by
local businesses and private employ
ers, she said.
Private employers mostly call for
babysitters or personal care,
Campbell said.
“A lot of calls come from New
York asking for nannies,” she said.
Campbell said the office will
change soon. Office workers will be
able to file job openings by computer
with a new system, making the office
more efficient, she said.
Some of Campbell’s goals are to
start an employer-referral service and
to be able to screen students before
sending them to employers, espe
cially for clerical jobs, she said.
Campbell, a December graduate
with a bachelor’s degree in advertis
ing, started working with the office in
February, a few weeks after the new
office opened, she said.
Campbell said she enjoys working
with students on a personal basis,
even though most students just use the
job board.
