She also takes time to become involved tn wfey yr without recognition. She has published more than 65 papers and abstracts and last year was the recipient of a $1,000 award for outstanding research in the area of nutrition and experimental foods. A dedicated researcher, Dr. Kies said that published research is four or five years old.

Therefore, for a department to have a competitive research program, up-to-date information is a requirement. Much of that current information is acquired on world-wide travels during which Dr. Kies attends meetings and exchanges ideas with other researchers. Because she wants the university to retain a quality research program, she hopes the human nutrition research program can survive a year of being uprooted. The Food and Nutrition Building, which houses the research laboratories, will be remodeled this year, she explained.

"It's difficult to move a metabolic research program," she said, noting that research cannot be turned off for a year and then turned right back on. Dr. Kies spends Wo of her time on research for the UNL Experiment Station and also teaches nutri- Cooperation, not antagonism, may be the best route to solving consumer woes, according to Dr. Constance Kies. "I believe that the interests of consumers and the interests of good research can best be served by our cooperation with the food industry and food producers," the University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor of food and nutrition wrote in a research paper published last year.

Dr. Kies has a stake in good relations between consumers, researchers and good suppliers. On the university faculty since 1963, she is responsible for metabolic research, with particular attention to human nutrient requirements and nutrient interrelationships, as well as the utilization of cereal and plant proteins and the nutritional value of processed foods. In addition, she recently has completed research on the nutritional knowledge and attitudes of various population groups. This task was accomplished jointly by Dr.

Kies and Dr. Hazel Fox, chairman of the UNL Department of Food and Nutrition. Her efforts in the research field has not gone women's issues. Several years ago she was coordinator of a UNL class on "Women In Contemporary Society." Dr. Kies currently is advisor for the UNL Women's Resource Center and the University Women's Action Group.

She has memberships in the National Organization for Women and Women's Equity Action League. A self-described feminist, she said she has seen more discrimination against women in educational institutions than in her work for commercial companies, although her contact with commercial firms has been relatively slim. A large part of the problem, she said is in identifying areas where both official and unofficial discrimination exists. Dr. Kies's primary concern, however, is that "much of the discrimination is unconscious, And that's a hard thing to change.

"There is a bias against home economics, in part because it has been a female-dominated field," she said. But that also can be seen as an advantage because it shows what a woman can do, something not readily apparent in traditionally male fields. However, a woman in home because it is traditionally female, often is not taken seriously by people in other disciplines, making it difficult to make people listen to you, she said.

Perhaps I should mention that Elmer is fat, and we used to have a lot of fun together eating all the things we shouldn't but those days are gone for me. Now Elmer feels betrayed, and I feel guilty, because when he married me he really liked me the way I was.

I am torn between staying thin, which I am so proud to be, or letting myself go to please Elmer. FORMERLY FAT DEAR FORM: For heaven's sake, stay thin! Join Overeater's Anonymous and let them help you. And take Elmer with you. They are a great, loving, caring fellowship. If Elmer doesn't flip for them and their program, I'll eat my calorie counter.

HOUSE of HOLLOW AY BEAUTY SALONS 3265 Sheridan 1715 Van Dorn 488-5961 423-2754 Men's Woman's Hairsty ling By CINDY DOELL The air shimmers with heat; the sun glares relentlessly down upon the parched, dry earth. The wind blows incessantly, its hot and arid breath brings no respite from this maddening heat.

Crops are dying first they wilt, discolor, curl up for the lack of water, and finally they die, fueling the look of utter desolation. Even the people of this hellish place are affected. Tempers flare, arguments and skirmishes spread like a plague; and finally the people become dried up, brittle, and their faces are bleak masks of desolation. One by one the people leave, or die, just as all other life has deserted this land. And the jealous mistress of the prairie has won again; what was hers is hers once more.

DEAR ABBY: My husband is 49, a wonderful man in all respects, and I love him dearly. I am 43, but I'm told I look a lot younger. Not to brag, but I'm also attractive. Living in our apartment building is a handsome, 40-year-old Army captain. (He's a bachelor.) My husband travels a lot, and this bachelor told me if I ever got bored or lonely when my husband is away, I should call him and he will invite me over for a gourmet dinner.

(He belongs to a gourmet club and loves to cook). So far I haven't taken him up on it, but Ive thought about it. I've been a faithful wife all these years and have no intentions of being otherwise. I told my husband about this captain's invitation, and he said: "I don't like the idea. It's not that I don't trust you, but I wouldn't trust any man alone with a beautiful woman.

Also, I don't want to give the neighbors anything to gossip about. Abby, shouldn't a woman my age be allowed to do what she wants to do? ON THE FENCE DEAR ON: A woman of any age should be allowed to do what she wants to do. However, even though the captain's "gourmet dinner" is 100 per cent kosher, and he has a good conduct medal to match yours, if your husband doesn't like the idea, don't pursue it. If you're lonely in your husband's absence, get off the fence and go with a group. There's safety in numbers.

43 of Moms Now Working In 1948, 187o of all mothers were working. Last year, 43 were working outside the home. In 1948, one out of eight mothers who were working outside the home had children under six. Last year that figure was one out of three. Dr.

Ron Daly, extension family life specialist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln said these statistics mean that five and one-half million children, or one-fourth of the nation's children under six, have working mothers.
