Exercise also should be enjoyable
so that it will be done on a regular
basis, Highstreet said.
Both said running and walking are
still favorite exercises among students.
They remain popular, Highstreet said,
because they do not require a particu
lar space or type of equipment.
Step aerobics are also popular, partly
because of their novelty, Highstreet
said.
To get the maximum benefits from
regular exercise, Callahan said, cer
tain myths must be dispelled.

Staff Reporter
Many students at the University of
Ncbraska-Lincoln arc pushing pedals
to slay in shape, to get to class or just
for fun. _
1 1 Jan Callahan,
director of the
Center for Healthy
Lifestyles in the
School of Health,
k Physical Educa
tion and Recrea
tion, said bicy
cling is excellent exercise.
“Students can use cycling to in
crease their cardiovascular endurance
if they ride long enough at once, and
maintain their heart rate within their
training zone,” she said.
This type of exercise makes the
cardiovascular system more efficient,
causes a decrease in body fat and a
decrease in resting heart rate, she
said. It’s also a good way to decrease
stress, she said.
“Casually gcuing on a bike to get
home and back is not aerobic exer
cise, but it’s better than just getting in
a car,” she said.
Rich Rodenburg, owner of Bike
Pcdalcrs, 1353 S. 33rd St., said that
“in the last 10 to 15 years, there has
been a great emphasis on physical
health. People arc looking for ways to
slay in snapc ana nave iouna tnat
biking is a fun way lo do so.
“It’s good for the physical person,
bul it’s also good for a person’s
mentality. It gives you more energy.
You just feel better.”
Jeff Hansen, a senior natural sci
ence major in the Teachers College,
works at Cycle Works, 720 N. 27th,
and is an avid cyclist.
“In the late ’80s, there was an
increase in fitness-oriented activities,”
he said. “Cycling took off from there.”
Rodenburg said Bike Pcdalers sells
three main types of bicycles: racing
or louring bikes, mountain bikes and
hybrid bikes.
“Probably 80 percent of the bikes
we sell now arc mountain bikes, but I
sec the popularity of hybrid bikes
growing fast^” he said.
Although mountain bikes arc de
signed for off-road use, he said, more
than half of the people who buy this
type of bike will seldom, if ever, go
off road.
A hybrid bike is like a mountain
bike but is less off-road oriented.
“It’s a more practical city bike,”
he said.
Many people use their bicycles as
transportation, commuting to and from
work orclass. Although Hansen owns
a car, he said that he rarely uses il.
“You can get anywhere in Lincoln
on a bike as fast or faster than with a
In order 10 tone and lose weight, it
is best to work in the lower part of the
target heart rate zone and exercise for
a longer amount of time, Callahan
said.
“We need to get away from the
concept of ‘running until you drop,’”
she said, “because that is not benefi
cial." .

car, he said. It s the pcrlcci town
for bikes. It’s easy to gel around,
there arc plenty of trails and if you
respect motorists, they will respect
you.”
Bicycles also arc more environ
mentally sound than cars, Rodenburg
said.
“Bikes don’t burn fossil fuels or
gu/./.lc gas,” he said. “And a bicycle
is much cheaper than driving a car.”
Rodenborg said a person can buy a
good mountain or hybrid bike for
around $300 and upkeep costs are
minimal.
“The initial plunge, getting the
bike and the equipment, is the worst,”
Hansen said.
For bicyclists who take their bikes
off road, many trails and parks exist
in and around Lincoln.
Two abandoned railroad lines, the
Rock Island and the Missouri-Pacific,
have been converted into trails.
Rodenburg, a member of the Great
Plains Trails Network, said these trails
or others will be connected with the
downtown area and the UNL campus
in the near future.
“Places like Wilderness Park, right
oulsidcof Lincoln, are also becoming
increasingly popular,” he said. “The
trails arc pretty. There arc deer and
other animals. The dirt trails arc closer
to the trees and there arc more twists
and turns.”

communication programs or the
combination of them with other pro*
■' grams was a national trend. Either
could be done at UNL, he said.
“Speech communication is essen
tial to this institution,” he said. “I
don’t necessarily think it has to be
done from arts and sciences.”

Throughout the hear
ings, of course, we
heard it (speech com
munication) was just
absolutely essential.
The fact of life is that
there is nothing that
supports that.
Liberty
interim vice chancellor for
academic affiars
-ft -
June Levine, an English professor,
argued that Liberty’s criteria for elimi
nation went beyond the APC’s man
date.
“Our (the APC) goal was not to
reward quality,” she said. “It was to
decide what was the best way to make
cuts.”
In other business, the committee
created a subcommittee to prepare a
status report for APC to submit to the
chancellor on the further discussion
and subsequent hearings of the budget
reduction process.

program is one of only two such pro
grams in the Big Eight.
Because of this, the program pro
duces a limited number of profes
sionals for a growing field, Mosher
said.
“Athletic training is one of the top
20 majors new students inquire about
at UNL,” she said.
Proposed changes to the Center
for Healthy Lifestyles could hurt
HPER, said John Schecr, an associate
professor in HPER.
Scheer said a proposal to charge a
fee and to eliminate college credit for
activity and healthy lifestyles courses
offered by the center could hurt class
enrollments.
“The center is the hub of JHPER,”
he said. “With the fee, fewer students
will enroll in the class.”
A survey by the center showed that
of483 people who had taken a healthy
lifestyles course, 75 percent would
not take the course if it didn’t offer
college credit, Scheer said.
Working at the center is the key
practicum for health and physical
education students in the Teachers
College, Ansorge said.
Scheer said that by revising the
center’s budget, “all practical teach
ing experience students get would be
lost.”
Cuts and changes to HPER could
cause devastating effects, Ansorge
said.
“It makes little sense to me that
cuts would be made in the school of
HPER, which was just recognized as
excellent,” he said. “What can be
more important than the health and
welfare of the next generation?”
The BRRC also discussed the climi
nation of the administrative resources
management major in the Teachers
College.
Birdie Holder, chairwoman and
professor of vocational and adult
education, said it could take several
years to phase out the major because
most students enrolled in the program
only take one or two courses each
semester.
“Most students in this major are
non-lradilional, transfer students or
UNL staff,” she said.
The BRRC will hear testimony on
crop production today.
