1 Center researches high schoolers fitness
By Shawn Schuldies
Staff Reporter
Research done by the Center for
Fitness and Healthful Living Educa
tion at the University of Nebraska
Lincoln will benefit UNL students
and Nebraska communities, the cen
ter's coordinator said.
Since last spring, coordinator
Thomas Wand/ilak said, eight fac
ulty members and 20 to 25 under
graduate students have tested the
physical fitness of junior and senior
high school students across Ne
braska.
Doing the research was especially
good for the undergraduate students,
Wand/ilak said. It gave them a
chance to see what researching was
like, he said, and a chance to learn
through experience instead ol only
through lectures and textbooks.
The center's research teams con
sisted ol two faculty members and
three to live undergraduate students
at each school that was tested, he
said.
The center started the project in
cooperation with the Nebraska De
partment of Education, he said. Re
search teams conducted tests at about
40 different schools across Nebraska,
he said.
Sharing the research results bene
fits the center by improving commu
nication between the center and the
rest of Nebraska’s communities,
Wand/ilak said.
The researchers at the center
compared their test results with the
national average determined by the
National Children’s and Youth Fit
ness Test to see how lit Nebraska
students were. Wand/ilak said the
research showed that Nebraska stu
dents were in better than average
shape until about age 16.
Students in the 7th and 9th grades
did better than average in all compa
rable tests. Students in the 11 th grade
performed below average on the sit
and-reach test and males did below
average on the chin-up test.
Students’ physical fitness might
be declining at around age 16, he
said, because most of them arc done
w ith their physical education require
ments. Nebraska high school students
arc required to take one year of physi
cal education.
The center’s research is available
to Nebraska schools. Wand/ilak said
that if the Nebraska schools use the
results, they could improve their
physical education programs.
Nothing will be forced on the
schools, but hopefully the schools
will use the research to benefit their
students, he said.
When profs fail
UNL students suffer
By Victoria Ayotte
Senior Reporter
Professors failing to meet dead
lines for reporting grades can create
problems for some University of
Ncbraska-Lincoln students, said Ted
Pfeifer, director of Registration and
Records.
Students on academic probation
may need to know a grade in order to
meet academic requirements which
will allow them to continue classes at
UNL.
“In that case, it would be an unfair
situation,” he said.
However, Pfeifer said, those stu
dents affected arc not dismissed until
the missing grade is known.
Don Gregory, director of the Divi
sion of Continuing Studies, said
complications can occur when grade
reports for students on academic pro
bation are not figured into the semes
ter’s grade report.
Students who face dismissal
should be most concerned that all
grades have been figured into their
semester and cumulative grade point
averages, Gregory said. If appropri
c grades have not been figured into
those reports, he said, second semes
ter classes automatically will be
cancelled.
Those students who arc affected
by unreported grades may go through
an appeal process, Gregory said. The
first step is to contact their adviser, he
said.
Students who are on academic
probation, but do nol face dismissal,
do nol need to be as concerned, he
said. Their grades will be figured into
a revised grade report which is pub
lished two weeks after grade reports
are given out, he said.
Pfeifer said he did not know how
many students were affected by late
and missing grade reports in previous
years.
Professors turn in final grades
dcpending on the day the final exam i -
nation of the class was given, Pfeifer
said. The grades arc due five days
after the class’ final exam, excluding
weekends and holidays.
A significant number of faculty do
not turn in grades on lime, Pfeifer
said. But most grades have been re
ported by the time grade cards go to
press to be printed, he said.
Pfeifer said that usually, about six
grade rosters arc turned in after grade
point averages have been figured for
grade reports.
Students receive a no report or N/
R on the grade report if grades for a
particular class haven't been turned
in, he said.
This year, the grades are due Jan.
3, and grade reports will be available
Jan. 9, he said. Reports can be picked
up in the Administration Building at
that time.
r COLLEGE
STUDENT INCOME.
A good part-time job that doesn’t interfere with class
schedules, student activities and study time is pretty tough
to find in most college towns. That’s why the nearby Army
Reserve makes so much sense to students.
After completing Basic Training and Advanced Indi
vidual Training, you serve one weekend a month (usually
two 8-hour days, so Saturday and Sunday evenings are
yours). And you earn over $80 a weekend to start. You go to
two weeks of annual training at hill Army pay.
If a part-time income could help, stop by or call:
475 - 8561 OR 483 - 2221 IN LINCOLN
