As the legislative session draws on, Nebraska lawmakers are eyeing a proposal to restrict transgender youth in 2024. The proposed bill, LB 575, named the “Sports and Spaces Act,” would designate sports teams, bathrooms and locker rooms as either male or female at K-12 public schools and require students to use or participate in either based on their assigned sex at birth. This proposal follows the passing of LB 574, known as the “Let Them Grow Act,” which restricted gender-affirming care for transgender youth back in June of 2023. It is encouraged that students with opinions on the issue should contact their senators, collaborate with political advocacy or LGBTQ+ support groups on campus and register to vote.

Fitness is for all ages

UNL's Recreation Centers offer memberships to any current or past student, faculty, affiliate or alumni. One individual who takes advantage of this is the retired Willa Cather Professor of History and Director of the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program, Carole Levin. Levin works with personal trainer Kelbie Schnieder five times a week where they focus on balance, core strength, flexibility and light upper and lower body strength. Levin is a testament to the fact that fitness is important at any age, and we should all take control of our personal health.
