ASUN passes resolution
to create security patrol
By Jana Pedersen
Senior Reporter
nttempting to ease student
concerns about safety, ASUN
unanimously passed a resolu
tion Wednesday calling for several
UNL groups to work together to es
tablish a nighttime security patrol of
university parking lots.
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.

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.
