Measles vaccinations available By Alan Phelps Staff Reporter A desire to avert another measles outbreak has spurred the University Health Center to offer students cheap vaccinations today and Friday, officials said. Dr. Gerald Fleischli, medical director of the health center, said the immunizations are part of an effort to provide a second vaccination to students as they enter the university. The vac cine is provided to the center free from the state of Nebraska, keeping the cost to $7.50 for new students, he said. Nora Ryschon, measles coordinator at the health center, said the National Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and the American Academy of Pediatrics now are recommending that people receive two doses of the vaccine during their lives rather than one. The health center has sent letters to all students who registered for the first time in the fall of 1990 or spring of 1991 informing them about the shots, she said. The vaccine will be administered in the lower level of the health center today and Friday and April 4 and 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Ryschon said. New students — freshmen, gradu ate students and transfer students — who elect not to receive the immunization will be re quired to sign a waiver stating why they do not want the second dose, she said. Ryschon said upperclassmen also can come in for a second dose if they have not had one, although they will have to pay $29.50. “This is still a good price,” she said. “At a doctor’s office it’s *$40. “I’d really like to see the student body get in and get their shots,” Ryschon said. “It really is a cheap price.” Last year, about 10 measles cases were reported at UNL, and 50 were reported the year before that, Ryschon said. She said this year’s inoculation effort has been timed to occur before students head off to Spring Break hang outs, where they seem to catch the disease. “In the past the outbreaks we’ve had are right after Spring Break,” Ryschon said. “We hope that they’ll get it before they go some where like Padre or Daytona. “It really is a serious matter. Other states have had students die on campuses,” she said. aHHpHa III At LJNL Health Center §§ II New students: $7.50 ||| yi-uul II Other students: lU $29.50 —- — |i Outside UNL §§ |j| Estimated cost: $40 fi Wir Source: University Hea'th Center W* LBJ ipj.i_-j”Tpz3"pj’ipzr LJ Amie DeFrain/Daify Nebraskan Ribbon Continued from Page 1 said outside displays are reviewed by his office and the general purpose bulletin boards are supervised. He said he removes posters that are offensive and anything else hung in the building is none of his business. There is no single university policy governing the use of bulletin boards or inside displays, according to Herb Howe, associate to the chancellor. “My assumption is that the academic dean is responsible for the building,” he said. Cecil Steward, dean of the College of Architecture, said he does not screen materials put up on bulletin boards or doors. Students put up the ribbon to recog nize the six architecture students called up for duty, he said. It was not an act of the administration or faculty. There are no plans to remove the ribbon. The students put it up, and they will take it down, Steward said. Bill to ban borrowing out-of-state IDs advances From staff Reports state operator’s license or state iden -— lification card illegal.

The four groups would pool their resources to provide the resource center with a variety of periodicals, books, institutional publications, videos and computerized records relating to pro tection and appreciation of the envi ronment. ‘‘As an educational facility, we have to take it upon ourselves to cover the whole spectrum (of political ori entations) from left to right,” said Jack Lionburger, president of the for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1958 and for the Nebraska Legisla ture in 1984, but lost both races.

Regan lamented that the trees couldn’t be replaced. “The best thing that came out of this is that city planners (will look closer) at potential consequences of environmentally harmful or unpopu lar decisions,” he said.
