More women are smoking

nies’ harder push is the prominent
display of cigarettes as props in
movies, he said.
For example, he said, cigarettes
appear “up front” as props in some
movies that feature actress Whoopi
Goldberg.
They also have tried to use the
warnings required by the U.S Sur
geon General in their favor, he said.
Stepanek said tobacco companies
have their choice of several warnings
to use, but they use the warning that
cites the dangers to pregnant women
and unborn children most often.
Pregnant women represent the
smallest demographic group of
smokers, he said, and are less likely to
smoke regardless of the warnings.
Men also pay less attention to warn
ings aimed at women, he said.
Crofton said warnings about to
bacco use have little effect on smok
ers.
If three-pack-a-day smokers paid
any attention to the warnings on ciga
rette packages, he said, they should
have the warnings memorized be
cause they see them so often.
“I should have every one memo
rized, but I couldn’t tell you one,”
said Crofton, who once smoked three
packs a day but has since cut down.
Joseph Anderson, a clinical tech
nician at the health center, said there
is a iimit to what warnings can do.
Anderson also is the director of a
stop-smoking clinic held twice
yearly at the health center.
The motivation to stop smoking
comes from the smoker’s doctor, he
said, or from friends who find smok
ing socially unacceptable.
Crofton said he doesn’t think to
bacco ads are influential in convinc
ing people to start smoking.
“It’s handed down from older
brothers and sisters and parents,” he
said.
Lutes said ads affect the smoker’s
decision of what brand to smoke, but
that’s all.
“When you first start smoking,
you don’t know what brand you
like,” he said.
Newman said tobacco ads are in
fluential.
Tobacco companies wouldn’t
spend $7 to $8 per person in Nebraska
if advertising wasn’t effective, he
said.
The two smokers in the main
lounge said the stress of college life
causes some students to start smok- .
ing.
“I know 10 or 12 people who end
up smoking during finals,” Crofton
said. ,
Lutes said he is considerate of
non-smokers who don’t like smoke,
but can’t believe the “incredible
clampdown” on smoking at UNL.
UNL won’t get aquaculturalist
LEGISLATURE From Page 1
Those who engage in aquaculture can
lose large amounts of money because
of the risk involved.
“You can’t make a mistake in
aquaculture,” he said. “You have to
be very, very careful.”
Bemard-Stevens said aquaculture
has the potential to be a more produc
tive industry in the state. But, he said,
farmers need an aquacultural special
ist who can advise them in some of
the specialties.
Sen. Don Wesely of Lincoln said
he thinks $50,000 is a reasonable
amount of money to invest for agri
cultural diversification in the state.
“It’s a small amount of money
that can turn itself over many times,”
Wesely said.
Wesely said he thinks senators
should fund the proposal because a
bill that was passed two years ago by
the Legislature mandates a position
for an aquaculture specialist
Sen. Jerome Warner of Waverly,
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, said it was not a commit
tee “oversight” that members didn’t
recommend funding for aquaculture.
Warner said the NU Board of
Regents did not request funding for
aquaculture.
Urban design is

tent-covered plaza on the block north
of the Centrum and south of the
Cooper Theatre. Parks said this
would help create the “open space”
that is needed in downtown Lincoln.
Also presented were ideas for
linking downtown to the Haymarket
District This could be done by con
structing elevated walkways over
streets with heavy traffic, which
would encourage pedestrians to visit
both areas, Parks said.
Mike Dekalb, a city planner for
the Lincoln Planning Department,
said he saw some encouraging ideas
in the presentation, and recom
mended it be presented again before
more city officials.
“There are a lot of good ideas
which should be passed on,” he said.
* ‘They definitely should not be lost.”
Tom Laging, professor of archi
tecture, said it is not unusual for ideas
presented in his class to be imple
mented in city development
Past projects have focused on the
Haymarket District, areas of Omaha
and the state capitol environs, he said.
The latter project, involving the state
capitol, was completed in 1974 with
extensive student input, Laging said.
“Students often are freer to think
about the things since they aren’t as
caught up in reality,” he said. ‘ ‘They
aren't caught up in the land and eco
nomic -realities, and the-politics -of
what’s doable.”
Although Warner said he believes
there is some merit for the proposal,
he said senators need to draw the line
on funding requests.
Sen. Roger Wehrbein of
Plattsmouth said he is opposed to the
funding because many existing pro
Ks have not received adequate
ng.
Sen. Sandra Scofield of Chadron
said she doesn’t think enough of her
constituents support aquaculture to
merit funding when compared to
some other agricultural industries in
the state.
“That’s not to say that someday
we will not fund aquaculture,’’ she
said.
