The resolution asks the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Depart ment and UNL’s vice chancellor of business and finance to work with the Parking Advisory Committee and the Association of Students of the Uni versity of Nebraska Parking Task Force on the project. College of Business Administra tion Sen. Bart Vitek, sponsor of the resolution, said the security patrol was necessary to help prevent crimes in parking lots at night. Vitek said Lt. Ken Caublc of the university police department told him that the department receives two to three reports of vandalism in park ing lots every night. He said Cauble also told him there were typically between ten and fif teen assaults each year in parking lots. Although Vitek said he didn’t know if crime rales in UNL parking lots had increased in the past few years, he said student safety should be a major concern for ASUN. The patrol could work as a “front line defense” against crime, he said. Architecture ben. load unmans agreed that the program would be helpful. “If one assault didn’t happen because of this project,” he said, “it would be worth (the costs of imple menting it).” But Teachers College Sen. Marc Shkolnick said AS UN shouldn’t force the parking department to stretch its budget any farther than it already is. Reports that UNL has the lowest crime rate in the Big Eight show that “what is going on now is adequate,” Shkolnick said. Senators shouldn’t expect the po lice department to “shut down crime 100 percent,” he said. “It’s obviously going to take re sources,” he said. “I don’t think we can burden the UNL parking depart ment with further expenses when they’re already operating under lim ited resources.” But Vitek said that the program wouldn’t cut into the parking budget because it would be run through the UNL police department. Engineering Sen. Michael Ho said AS UN shouldn’t judge UNL’s safety record by the number of crimes that are reported because many crimes may not have been reported. To believe that “since the status quo seems adequate, we should stop there ... is to stop progress in its tracks,” Ho said. DISORDER from Page 1 This sends subliminal messages to females that in order to be , worthwhile, a person has to be thin, Goilner said. The emaciated female is associated with wealth and high social esteem, Goilner said. *‘! hope that stops some day,” Goilner said. ”1 think people de . serve to fed OK about themselves for who they are, not what they look like. < “Our looks have very little to do with our worth.” Goilner said that at the Colo rado Springs conference four years ago, an advertiser from Madison Avenue said "if we can make women anxious enough, we can sell them anything.” *‘I found that an extremely unethical . . . practice,” Goilner said. Golloer particularly remembers seeing an advertisement from the 1950s The advertisement featured a woman wearing a one-piece bathing suit, Goilner said. Accord ing to today’s image of beauty, the woman would be considered over weight, he said. Burtu the time the woman was considered beautiful. He said this advertisement showed how people’s views of beauty have changed through the years. In the late 1800s, he said, it actually was considered a sign of wealth to be fat People with two or three chins were assumed wealthy enough to feed themselves, he said. Gollncr said that anorexia ner vosa - a condition in which the • person has a body weight 15 per cent below normal and fears be coming fat - is more common than bulimia nervosa. A person suffering from bu limia nervosa has recurrent epi sodes of binge eating and regularly induces vomiting, Bulimia ner vosa is more common in college aged students. He said he did not know why this is so. The three-day conference con sisted of morning symposiums on research papers and afternoon small-group seminars. Gollncr attended the sessions that concentrated on women 18 to 25 because that is the age of most patients he counsels at the health center. t ELVIS form Page 1 the ballot. After Langenbcrg and Hilgenfcld withdrew their request, James Gric sen, vice chancellor for student af fairs, said he decided that the mes sage should not have appeared on the network in the first place. The message network is the elec tronic equivalent of the campus cal endar, he said. In both cases judg ments must be made as to what should be included because of limited space, Gricscn said. “We’re not using this as a right of censorship,” he said. Gricscn said his office still is de veloping a set of standards for judg ing what material is appropriate for the network. He said he leaves most of these decisions to his “C-V1S czar,” Cara Hansen. The situation arose, Gricscn said, because this was the first time anyone had tried to place a political message on the network. The only political material Grie sen said he would allow on the net work are announcements encourag ing students to vote. Gricscn said material on the net work must be limited or the effective ness of the system will suffer. If there arc too many messages, he said, stu dents will not have the time to view -i the whole cycle. Stream said that because Langcn berg and Hilgenfcld withdrew the suspension request, the only issue remaining in his suit was trie way Griesen’s office establishes policy. “We are the victims of a policy decision made at 4 p.m. today,” Stream said. Stream said he would not be upset if Griesen had made this decision before or after the message ran in its entirely. But, he said, the decision was made after the ad already had been accepted and aired on the net work. “It would have been fine if they had said ‘starting tomorrow we will not accept any more ads of this na ture.’ But they made this decision right in the middle,” Stream said. * T. K. Olson, chief justice of the student court, said he denied Stream’s request for a temporary re straining order on the suspension of the message because that matter re solved itself. Olson said, however, that he will ask Stream to submit a new petition to the court requesting a hearing on the validity of the actions of officials in this case. If Stream does submit a new peti tion, Olson said, the court would then issue a ruling in the case.
