Expert tells of his ideas
to improve campus health
By John Rupprecht
Staff Reporter
An expert on college health urged students
and staff in the United States and Canada to
“Get Real” about campus health, in a telecon
ference Tuesday afternoon.
Richard P. Keeling, director of University
Health Services and a professor of medicine at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said a
direct link existed between health services and
student performance and development.
He called for a more integrated approach to
creating a healthier and more supportive atmo
sphere on campuses.
Campus health services traditionally have
communicated to students through pamphlets
or residence hall discussions, he said.
Keeling, president of the Society for the
Scientific Study of Sexuality and former presi
dent of the American College Health Associa
tion, said this approach hadn’t been as effective
as desired.
Most students already have sufficient knowl
edge about health issues when they arrive at
college.
“But,” he said, “knowing about consequences
doesn’t make choices any easier.”
Keeling said it was important to know the
context in which certain health decisions were
made.
Health service officials must understand cam
pus customs, party customs and contexts of
violence when dealing with issues of campus /
health, he said.
Keeling said traditional forms of health edu
cation stressed the individual’s responsibility.
A new approach should be changing the cultural
and societal norms that put students in danger,
he said.
Education about these issues should not be
“top down,” he said, but rather should involve
students helping students to promote healthy
decision-making.
Keeling said health workers and counselors
needed to work toward a more engaging in
volvement with students.
“We need to stay away from the canned
speech,” he said.
Keeling proposed focus groups, in which
students would work with a counselor who
facilitated discussions. The groups would help
foster a sense of community for the students and
help health staff understand the problems fac
ing the next generation of students.
“You don’t want to get out of date,” he said.
The teleconference was broadcast by the
Education Television Services at Oklahoma
State University. The broadcast of the telecon
ference at UNL was sponsored by the office of
the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, the
Office of Campus Recreation, Nebraska Unions,
University Health Center, University Housing
and Party Smart.

CFA recommends budget cuts
By Heidi White
Staff Reporter
The Committee for Fees Allocation recom
mended Tuesday evening that a new program
proposed by Campus Recre
ation be cut from the budget.
The proposed Wellness
Services program would es
tablish a personal fitness pro
gram including a health risk
appraisal, fitness assess
ments, personal weight train
ing and aerobic condition
ing programs, as well as nu
trition appraisals and coun
seling. The cost to users
would be $5.
Kenda Scheele, associate director for struc
tured activities for the Rec Center, said the
program eventually would become indepen
dent of student fees after personal trainers were
added at a later date. The cost with the trainer
would be significantly higher.
But a cut of $19,500 from the Wellness
Services portion of the nearly $1.9 million bud
get would eliminate the program. The cut passed
by a vote of 9-2.
Stan Campbell, director of the Office of
Campus Recreation, said he planned an appeal
to CFA on Thursday.
“It’s disappointing because I think it’s a key
element in our overall program efforts for the
university community,” Campbell said.
Additional cuts of $2,500 were recommended
by CFA bringing the University Program and
Facilities Fee funding of Campus Recreation to
about $1.89 million.
In other business, the Nebraska Unions and
Student Involvement submitted budget appeals
to CFA to get back funding for a graduate
assistant to coordinate the Student Involvement
team and to create a student position to edit and
publish the Newsbreak newsletter for East Cam
pus students.
CFA denied the $4,300 appeal.
