    ASUN to discuss student code,
changes to withdrawal system
By Kasey Kerber
Staff Reporter
i
The Association of Students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska will continue a discussion on <
violent student crime at its meeting tonight. ;
Representatives from the Faculty Women’s ]
Caucus will be on hand to discuss their proposal <
to change the Student Code of Conduct.
- The caucus has modified
its original proposal, which j
H includes banning students £
AuUlV accused or convicted of vio- \
" ***1 m lent crimes from extracur- £
ricular activities.
At last week’s meeting, t
student senators chose not to {
support the caucus proposal. £
Instead, they passed a bill
stating ASUN will work with t
-1 the Chancellor’s Task Force c
on Conduct Standards and Behavioral Expecta- f
tions before suggesting student code changes. I
The caucus previously proposed that stu
dents convicted of a violent crime be banned s
from extracurricular activities for seven years. ]
The proposal has been changed to read that a
itudent would be banned for “a period of time to
)e determined by normal processes.”
The caucus also eliminated a section of its
original proposal that stated students accused of
t crime would face a University Judicial Board
>roceeding within five days. The new proposal
;tates the University Judicial Board will meet
‘as expeditiously as possible.”
ASUN President Shawntell Hurtgen also will
introduce a bill tonight dealing with a discrep
tncy in the Academic Calendar. Currently, the
withdrawal date printed on the calendar does not
pply to'graduate students.
The Graduate Governing Council changed
he last date graduate students can withdraw
rom a class to a date earlier than the undergradu
te withdrawal date.
The change occurred too late to be added to
he calendar. Many graduate students have en
ountered problems when trying to withdraw
rom a class, only to discover it is too late,
Jurtgen said.
“I don’t see a reason why graduate students
hould have less time to withdraw from a class,”
Jurtgen said.
Health fair includes flu shots, tests
By David Wilson
Staff Reporter
The third health fair of the semester will
be held today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the
Campus Recreation Center.
“It’s a new way of promoting health
screenings,” said Carol Ash, communica
tions coordinator at the University Health
Center.
The fair will offer many types of health
screenings to University of Nebraska-Lin
coln students, faculty and staff. Flu shots, the
most prevalent of the screenings, will be
available for $8. The health center already
has given out more than 900 flu shots this
fall.
“Flu shots are recommended for students
who live in dorms or densely populated
areas,” said Linda Rizijs, a nurse administra
tor at the health center. “They are also rec
ommended for people over 65 and for people
with chronic diseases like asthma and diabe
tes.”
They should be received between mid
October and mid-November to help prevent
extreme cases of the flu during flu season.
Other services at the fair will include a
$10 package of three screenings: a body
composition test, a nutrition analysis and a
cholesterol screening. These services also
will be available individually for a small fee.
Free screenings will include: a blood sugar
test for diabetes, blood pressure checks and
free grip strength and flexibility tests.
“It’s great to see so many students get into
the health craze,” Ash said.
She said she expected about 500 people
to attend the fair.
The fair is co-sponsored by the health
center and the Campus Recreation Center.
This fair is also being held in conjunction
with two lectures by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper.
Cooper iscredited with introducingthc world
to aerobics. He will give two lectures at the
Ramada Plaza Hotel this week.
The first lecture, “Exercise: Bridging the
Gap Between Fadism and Scientific Legiti
macy,” will be today from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
It is free to the public.
The second lecture, “Physical Fitness Is
As Good For Your Organization As It Is For
You,” will be Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to
9:30 a.m. There will be a $5 fee for those not
