Jolly: Religious rights
need to be protected
Society impedes
practice of belief,
according to book
By Heather Lampe
Staff Reporter
A large number of people in this
world deny their religion because of
political institutions, Eric Jolly said in
a “Theology for Lunch” discussion
Thursday.
Jolly, director of the Affirmative
Action and Diversity Office at the
University of Ncbraska-Lincoln, led a
program and discussion of the new.
controversial book. “The Culture of
Disbelief,” written by Yale law pro
fessor Stephen Carter.
Jolly, who grew up in both the
American Indian and Christian worlds
of spiritual belief, said Carter’s view
of religion in today’s culture was that
the faithful were forced to be silent.
“The status we are in today is one
of silence that Carter blames on 1 iber
al political theory,” Jolly said.
Jolly said it was a mistake to be
lieve that the struggle for religious
freedom was a/struggle against only
liberals. The struggle is also against
conservatives, he said.
“Stephen Carter has put forth a
clcarexampleofhow government and
society interfere with the way people
practice their religion,” Jolly said.
Jolly said he agreed with Carter but
presented statistics that showed peo
ple still practiced religion.
He said 91 percent of women and
55 percent of men prayed, and 15
percent said they regularly received a
definite answer to their prayers.
Jolly said social influence could
push people away or draw them to
ward religion. Ten percent of all peo
ple who don’t believe in a god still
pray.
And, Jolly said, people can t stop
others from praying in schools or in
graduation ceremonies. God accepts
silent prayers, he said.
“1 am not here to debate school
prayer; I am here to say that faith is an
individual strength.”
For government and society to stop
intruding on religion. Jolly said all
people would have to abide by social
contracts.
“The institutions we build together
are ours. The religion is mine,” he
said.
Students exercise right
By Jennifer Groen

Finding the time to exercise can be
difficult, but some UNL students be
lieve it’s important to make time for
exercise in their schedules.
Ann Reeder, a junior exercise sci
ence major, and Bill Hayes, a senior
pre-medicine major, get motivated to
work out by agreeing that exercising
is important to their self-esteem.
“Exercise gives me positive feel
ings about myself,” Hayes said.
Another positive aspect to exercis
ing on campus is the chance to meet
new people.
“One of the best things is being
around other people that have positive
and healthy attitudes,” Reeder said.
Hayes said working out was prob
ably his primary social life.
Reeder and Hayes’ reasons for ex
ercising differ, though.
Reeder said she exercised because
she wanted to do trialhlons this sum
mer. Ultimately, she keeps fit because
she wants to live a longer, healthier
life.
Hayes said he wanted to gain 10
pounds of lean muscle mass, lose 5
percent of his body fat and then main
tain his health and physique for the
rest of his life.
Reeder and Hayes said they did
their exercise programs at the Cam
pus Recreation Center. Reeder lifts
weights, rides bikes, swims and runs,
while Hayes rides the Lifecycle and
docs heavy weight training.
Reeder and Hayes said it was easy
to maintain their training without idle
ness.
“Once you get into a routine, it’s
self-motivating,” Hayes said.
“I never have trouble getting up in
the morning. I always look forward to
it,” Reeder said.
Tonya Schoenfeldcr, assistant co
ordinator for wellness services at the
Campus Recreation Center, said she
thought the center had been success
ful because it provided a comfortable
environment for people of all fitness
levels.
Schoenfeldcr said she believed the
rcc center had been busier than usual
because spring break was approach
ing.
“1 don’t think that’s bad, though.
We all have different things that mo
tivate us. Whether it is a back injury,
an upcoming wedding or spring break,
it’s an individual approach.
“As long as it’s a healthy motiva
tor, it’s a good thing," she said.
Many students exercise with a part
ner or a group.
Reggie Bradshaw, a freshman psy
chology major, and Donny Sorenson,
a senior criminal justice major, work
out together.
“It’s easier to work out with some
one else because 1 can’t always get the
ambition. I always find excuses,”
Sorenson said.
The two lift weights, ride the exer
cise bikes and do push-ups and sit
ups. Bradshaw and Sorenson said they
felt better about themselves after they
exercised.
Exercising also allows them to re
lieve stress, tney said.
“When I’m done, I’m more fo
cused on what I have to do,” Bradshaw
said.
