in heavily used buildings as its No. 1 priority,
he said.
Rich McDermott, director of facilities
management, said the utilities division would
bear the remaining $42,300 cuts to the depart
ment. The assistant management position in
the division would be eliminated, and its duties
would be divided between the supervisors and
the manager.
The $164,000 reduction would further damage
a department whose standing is already wdak
in comparison to its peer institution’s depart
ments, he said.
“We’re not at the bottom of our peer groups,”
McDermott said. “We’re in the cellar.”
Wilbur Dasenbrock, director of landscape
services, said the department would probably
meet its cuts by eliminating one permanent
landscape worker. If necessary, it would elimi
nate one groundskeeping position that is cur
rently vacant.
In addition, a 31 percent reduction of stu
dent and on-call help is proposed. This would
primarily affect snow removal, he said.
“I’m not sure we’ll be able to get all the
steps and (wheelchair) ramps done by 7 in the
morning,” he said. “We can’t guarantee that
we’ll do an adequate job.”
He added that 16 of the 117 flower beds on
campus would be eliminated, and planting
perennials instead of annuals would save money.
Kim Todd, campus landscape architect and
curator of botanical gardens, said the $13,000
reduction in supplies and materials for shrubs,
plants and flowers was a logical counterpart of
the potential eliminations of landscape work
ers.
“If we can plant it and can’t take care of it,
why plant it?” she said. “They really go hand in
hand.”

“Instead of cutting, we should be trying to
enhance the council,” he said.
David Cahan, an associate professor of his
tory, said he averages one trip a year to present
papers.
“The council has been most generous with
me over the years,” he said. “I wouldn’t have
been able to do it (travel) if the council hasn’t
supported me for the last 10 years.”
Constance Kies, a professor of nutritional
science and hospitality management, said her
department also profits through the Research
Council’s travel grant program.
Kies said researchers are helped by attend
ing national and international meetings. She
takes one to two trips a year, she said.
“If you’re really going to do cutting-edge
research, it’s not enough to read journals,” she
said. “It’s important to make contacts.”
“If the University of Nebraska is truly going
to move ahead and become a first-rate research
institution, support from the university is es
sential,” she said.
In other business, Ken Cauble, the director
of the UNL Police Department, told the BRRC
that proposed cuts to the department’s budget

would not affect campus safety but might
endanger some services the department pro
vides.
Proposed budgetcuts might mean the elimi
nation of some services, Cauble said, such as
unlocking buildings and performing security
checks. And, he said, the department would be
unable to hire a second crime prevention offi
cer to give presentations on alcohol, drug abuse
and sexual assault.
But Cauble said safety of students would be
ensured.
“We don’t want anyone to think we have an
unsafe campus,’’ he said. “We’re doing an
excellent job of keeping the campus safe.”

Natural medicines favored
by some over synthetics
Holistic remedies correct
entire being, expert says
By Jean Lass
Staff Reporter
College professors and other adults are more
likely to use holistic medicinal services than
college students, an Omaha naturopathic prac
titioner said.
Randall Bradley said holistic, or natural,
medicine involves treat
ing the entire person, not
just the symptoms of an HRMjffiHMI
illness. 12 EaKlflfifa
Naturopathic practitio
chiropractics,
herbs, massage, vitamins,
counseling and acupunc- L-3BMEL—
ture techniques to help the body heal itself.
Natural medicine is popular among adults
because they have more recurring health prob
lems, Bradley said. Adults who use natural
medicine also often have become disillusioned
with medical doctors, he said.
Kelly Rush, a television camera operator for
Nebraska Educational Television, said she visited
a naturopathic doctor because she was frus
trated with the cost of traditional medicine and
the lack of time doctors spend with patients.
Rush said she likes natural medicine be
cause it dwells on spiritual healing.
“You get a lot of emotions out — like a
counseling session, trying to tell the doctor
what’s going on inside — and at the same time,
you get the physical symptoms cured,” she
said.
Joyce Joyce, an English professor at UNL,
also visits Bradley for naturopathic therapy.
“I’ve never felt better in my entire adult
life,” Joyce said.
She said natural medicine is effective be
cause it is organic, like humans. Traditional
medicine uses synthetics.
“Synthetic drugs don’t heal because they
repress the illness,” she said.
Bradley said college students generally don’t
experience many aches and pains; when they
do, they want “quick fixes” by treating the
symptoms with surgery, drugs or radiation, he
said.
Students should be more concerned with
natural medicine, he said, because the best
prevention of illness is curative therapy —
living a healthy lifestyle by eating properly and
exercising.
“Naturopathic medicine doesn’t always
work,” Bradley said. “It’s hard to apply be
cause people are complicated entities. I expect
participation.”
Bradley said he discourages his patients
from smoking, drinking coffee and alcoholic
beverages and eating fatty foods. He can’t help
patients feel better, he said, if they continue
unhealthy practices.
Natural medicine is less expensive than
traditional allopathic medicine in both the short
and long-term because patients get healthier
and need less medical care, he said.
However, patients of natural medicine first
must sec a medical doctor to get a diagnosis of
their illness because naturopathic practitioners
cannot be licensed in Nebraska, he said.
Oregon, Washington and Arizona are the
only states that license naturopathic practitio
ners, he said.
The ideal type of medicine, Bradley said, is
the medical doctor working with the naturopa
thic to heal a patient who has an in-stage
illness, such as cancer, that needs intervention
with radiation, drugs or surgery.
While the medical doctor works on healing
the symptoms, the naturopathic can apply ho
listic techniques to heal the whole body, he
said.

help their campus out... then do it.”
Massey said that he thought the issue was
“one man’s crusade” and that Vaneven
hoven was causing conflict between the
campuses.
If the purpose of the meeting was to raise
f
Lincoln’s awareness of the other campuses,
he said, the students should have been in
vited.
“If you want to get unity . . .” he said,
“you need more open communication . . .
right now that’s not what (Vanevenhoven’s)
fighting for.”
A UNMC student senate representative
could not be reached for comment.
