Undercover agents should
be u s e d for investigating
drug abuse on the Univer
sity campus, state Senator
Terry Carpenter said in a
telephone interview Tues
day. Carpenter said that regard
less of student reaction to the
so-called "student spies," the
agents are needed to uncov
er use of drugs.
"I could care less what
the reaclion is to this," he
said. "There is already too
much reaction and not
enough action.
"I don't give a damn about
what the students think about
this," he added.
Carpenter cited statistics
released nationally that in
dicated a growing problem
with drugs.
"Recently the Gallup Poll
and Reader's Digest took a
poll of all universities in this
country," he said. "They dis
covered that one per cent are
using LSD and six per cent
are using marijuana."
Although this percentage in
itself is not large, the Uni
c a m e r a 1 legislator from
Scottsbluff said, the figures,
when applied to the Univer
sity, would indicate that 180
students are using LSD and

Dorm Open House
Student Senate will discuss
the dormitory open house
question and the presence of
business and military recruit

at Wednesday's meeting, ac

The meeting will probably
go into a ."committee-of-the-whole'1
to discuss these top
ics. Pokorny said he knows
of no definite resolutions
which will be introduced on

'Spies'
1,000 are using marijuana.
"I don't know that there is
this much of it,", he said,
"but you obviously cannot get
those who are violating the
law with men in uniforms."
He was in favor of t h e
State Highway Patrol con
tinuing investigations on the
campus, using students as
spies if necessary.
"I am going to see that
more is done," he said, to
eliminate the use of the
drugs.
The representative felt that
the problem of drugs is not
confined to the University,
and that it is present through
out the state.
"We've even got a lot of it
out here in Scottsbluff." he
said.
Carpenter believed that
quantities of marijuana are
now being sent through the
mails.
Planning to visit Lincoln,
Monday, Carpenter said he
would like to talk with Uni
versity . students concerned
with the use of the student
agents.
"1 am willing to defend my
stand on this," he said.

1 Tea. Panel. Buffet I
In conjunction with Inter
national Week, a tea will be
held Wednesday in the Ne-
stigated a personal investiga
tion. According to Lane, Gar
rison has an air-tight case,
and can be considered the
most important man in t h e
country at this time.
The lawyer added that
dramatic changes will take
place when Americans learn
the truth about Kennedy's
death. Garrison's evidence,
Lane said, will show that no
foreign power was involved,
but Anti-Castro, Batista sup
porters were.
He said that Garrison's
case, which cannot be
matched by the Warren Com
mission, includes the identity
of the conspirators and proof
that they are still active in
the American structure.
The author indicated that
he has received about 100
threats on his life since h i s
book was published. He noted
that Garrison is also in grave
danger and remarked that he
fears for the District Attor
ney's life.
Lane, who has lectured at
universities all over the coun
try, added that he will con
tinue his investigation. The
main question, he said, is
where the shot that killed the
President came from. Ac
cording to the lawyer, the
questions will be answered
this year.
Lane practiced law in New
York for 15 years before en
tering politics in 1960. He was
elected to the New York Leg
islature with the support tl
Kennedy and Senator Hubert
H. Humphrey.
Since the President's death
he has been concerned with
his investigation- and a series
of tours in Europe and the
U.S.
braska Union from 2 to 5
p.m.
The purpose of the tea is to
provide a casual atmosphere
where foreign and American
students may meet, accord
ing to Pam Cot, president of
People to People.
A panel discussion on the
"Success and Failure of
American Foreign Policy"
will be held Thursday eve
ning at 7 p.m. in the Union.
The panel will be composed
of several foreign students
and two American students.
International Week, which
is sponsored by People to
People and Nebraska Inter
national Association (NIA),
will concluded Sunday, Nov.
19, with a soccer game and
international food buffet.
The soccer game will pit
the Nebraska soccer team,
composed primarily of for
eign students, against the
Omaha Kickers at 2 p.m.
The international food buf
fet, an annual event, will be
held at the First Christian
Church at 16th and K Streets

by the members of NIA.
The dinner will cost $1.50
per person and tickets may
be purchased at the Union.
No tickets will be sold at the
door.
Miss Cot, said that the buf
fet provides the organization
with its sole source of rev
enue and this year's profits
will be used to finance a
scholarship for a foreign stu
dent. Baez Scheduled

No Charges Foreseen
In Marijuana Inquiry
By ED ICENOGLE
Senior Staff Writer
Police Investigation of an
alleged case of marijuana
use on the University cam
pus is near completion with
no charges foreseen by the
county attorney's office.
"As of now the investiga
tion has failed to produce
enough evidence for the fil
ing of any complaint," Wil
liam Blue, assistant county
attorney, said Tuesday.
An inquiry into the incident
of drug possession and use in
a University residence hall
has been headed by the Drug
Control Division of the State
Patrol.
Following admitted usage
of marijuana, the student
withdrew from the Universi
ty two weeks ago.
EVIDENCE TURNED OVER
Information and evidence
obtained by the office of t h e
dean of student affairs in
connection with the case were
turned over to the authorities
after the student withdrew.
"I think the investigation is
probably completed," Blue
said.
Although the evidence thus
far collected by the state has
not been sufficient to file
AWS Convention . . .
Constitutional Delegates
Begin General Sessions
By SHERRY McGAFFIN
Junior Staff Writer
Delegates to the AWS Con
stitutional Convention will
meet Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
in the basement of Raymond
Hall for the first of five gen
eral sessions, according to
Nancy Couf al, Convention
chairman.
The general meetings will
be open to all students and
individual opinions concern
ing the issues will be heard,
Miss Coufal said. Delegates
will have the only voting pow
er. Tuesday Miss Coufal pre
sented AWS board members
with several issues that will
be considered Thursday. She
indicated that changes in the
judicial area will be dis
cussed. SECTION ONE
Section one of the proposed
constitution states that the
AWS Judicial system shall
consist of a central court of
appeals and regional branch
courts. The branch courts
will act upon violations of
AWS regulations involving
women under that specific
court's jurisdiction.
Aclausein Article one
concerns the restrictions
placed on referring cases to
the courts. Miss Coufal said
that article one states that
cases may be referred
through appeals from stu
dents or dorm personnel.
She said that this is some
what of an escape clause be
cause it permits any coed
in a living unit to turn in a
case.
A decision will have to be
made concerning the power
of the court of appeals, Miss
Coufal said. Some distinction
will be. made as to whether
this court will rule on pro
cedural rights or the actual
substance of the case, she
added.
Last week in an individual ,
committee meeting, delegat
es voted to 'imit the mem
bers of Congress to 35. ac
cording to Miss Coufal. Cab
inet positions have also been
reduced to nine.
Miss Coufa? said that these
changes were made because
the legislative committee felt
that a smaller number would
permit better communication
within the system.
Ann Windle, AWS presi
charges, the student's admis
sion to the use of marijuana
on the campus was grounds
for his forced withdrawal, ac
cording to G. Robert Ross,
dean of student affairs.
"Our experience with this
student is not an isolated
thing," he said of the admis
sion of guilt. "We have found
the easiest, most honest way
to find answers is to simply
ask the students."
WARNING
Ross indicated the student
had been warned that any
admission would be consid
ered in disciplinary action to
be taken against him.
In this respect, he said,
there was "some pressure on
him (the student) to with
draw." Ross added the student had
been given sufficient oppor
tunity to acquire legal advice
before his decision to either
withdraw or face University
dicsiplinary action.
The student had been con
tacted about the University's
evidence eight days before he
withdrew, Ross said.
ADVICE
"He was advised to discuss
this with his parents," Ross
dent, said the proposed court
system is basically what the
AWS Board wanted. All of
the branch courts would func
tion like the Sandoz court,
the dormitory pilot court
which started last month.
'GOOD JOB'
Commenting on the c o n
vention, Steph Tinan, pro
gram vice-president, said
that the delegates have done
a good job in the revision of
the AWS system. They seem
to completely forget, how-
Over 300
For Blood
A maximum number of
donors have registered for
the University of Nebras
ka Red Cross Bloodmobile
this Thursday, according to
Walt Baumann, chairman
of the recruitment and
scheduling committee.
Bauman said between
300 and 350 students have
signed to give blood. Those
scheduled for appointments
will be notified by mail
Wednesday.
"If anyone interested in
giving blood is not sched
uled, he should stop by the
Bloodmobile Thursday in
case of cancellations," said
Baumann.
The Bloodmobile will be
in the Selleck basement
area from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Thursday. Arnold Ah So
ciety is co-sponsoring the
Bloodmobile this year.
REPLACEMENT
Blood donated will be
used to replace blood losses
due to injury, childbirth or
disease; to treat shock due
to injury; for those under
going surgery; for those
burned or anemic; and to
make blood components to
serve many new medical
purposes.
Under the reciprocity
agreement between the Red
Cross and the American
Association of Blood Banks,
a donor may make a direct
donation for a patient any
where in the United States.
Any individual donating a
unit of blood at the Uni
versity of Nebraska Blood
mobile will establish eligi-.
said, "and his parents were
Advised to get legal advice
for him."
The evidence collected by
the University and later
turned over to authorities was
termed "irrelevant" by Ross,
who declined to disclose the
evidence.
The evidence was made ir
relevant, he said, by the stu
dent's admission to the dean
and two other witnesses.
"I cant predict what the
Student Tribunal would have
said if the student had not
withdrawn," Ross said. He in
dicated that the office of stu
dent affairs would probably
have taken action regardless
of the Tribunal's recommendation.
SERVICE
Ross said during the last
week before the student with
drew, the University had at
tempted to "be of service to
him" through counseling.
"Our interests are in help
ing him," he sadi. "Addition
al staff people spent time
talking wit him.
"And we are trying to be of
continued service to him al
though he is not still in t h e
University."
ever, the present structure,
she added.
She said that AWS has ac
complished much with the
present structure but that the
delegates have given it no
recognition in the new pro
posed revisions.
Ann Windle, AWS president
said that the board members
have remained out of the
procedures and they probably
will have very little to say
until the structure and the
finer points are considered.
iter
Donation
bility for his or. her blood
needs, anywhere in the
United States for a period
of one year from the date
of donation. Immediate fam
ily needs will be met as
blood is available on an in
dividual request basis.
PARENTAL PERMISSION
Baumann stressed the im
portance of the parental,
permission card for those
under 21 donating blood.
The entire process of do
nating blood takes 40-60
minutes. Most of this time
is utilized by taking the
temperature and getting the
medical history of each don
or. Actually donating one
pint of blood takes less than
10 minutes.
All donors receive a card
from the Bloodmobile lab
oratory noting their blood
type - sometime after the
Bloodmobile.
