One of the things that would catch
the eyes of a visitor on the campus
here would be the various nationalities
of .students, scurrying to and from
classrooms and the Union. Indians,
Cli'.nese. Turks, Africans, Columbians,
Europeans, and North Americans of
course. We have them all assembled
here - a rich heritage of practically
all the various cultures, an intern
ational mingling of students from all
over the world.
There were 231 foreign students
last semester. This fall more than
!K) new ones have arrived, making
the total over 3()fl. With approximately
45 new arrivals from Hong Kong and
ten from Taiwan, the Chinese
Association is the largest foreign
group on campus, followed by India,
Columbia, Turkey, and Africa.
An orientation program planned by
the International Student and Faculty
Service and the International Club
was set into motion September 7. A
welcoming dinner at the Wesley
Foundation was followed by a film

about Nebraska. Later a group
discussion and question time was
conducted by the ASUN executives
and senators.
Monday and Tuesday the students
listened to speakers who dealt with
various topics dealing with campus
life and various problems that may
face students. A tour of City campus,
East campus, and Lincoln, concluded
the activities.
On September 14, a picnic was ar
ranged for the new students at
Pioneer Park along with their host
families. About 300 gathered at the
park, and it was one big happy group
of active people. Some were soon out
of breath and thirsty after a few
minutes of soccer. Others were busy
on touch football and volleyball. Those
less energetic were sitting in groups,
discussing various topics of common
interest. Laughter and joyful shouts
filled the air the new students were
feeling at home. . but that, ac
cording to Mohamed Chaudary,
President of International Club, was
just the beginning and more activities
are being planned. Chaudary said
members are needed to help plan
future programs. Membership is one
dollar a semester, and is open to all
University students and faculty. Those
interested can get membership forms
from the office of International
Students and Faculty service or any
president of a foreign student
association.
Bruce Eveland, vice president of
the International Club (IC), said he
was confident that more students
would participate in these programs
than did last year. According to
Eveland, the objective of IC is to
help open channels of communication
between foreign and American
students and to get them together so
that friendships may be formed.
But, the real success or failure of
the program depends on the students
themselves American and foreign.
The IC is a vehicle that will make
the going easier. The leadership of
the IC can only encourage and show
the way and that is all that is within
their power. It is the students who
will have to take the initiative.
The foreign students must be
"socially aggressive" and outgoing.
They should not hesitate or shy to
take part in the club activities or
meet their American hosts. And a
small amount of encouragement and
genuine interest and participation by
our hosts would go a long way in
bringing out students who have come
to this "strange laud."
If this can be achieved, then there
is no reason for failure. A rich gold

mine has been neglected in the past,
but there is still hope and a chance
of success. The potential is just
waiting to be tapped.
I do hope that programs which will
allow foreign and American students
to get together will be initiated, so
that as many students as possible may
enter the mainstream of campus life.
A dialogue may be created, ideas may
be shared, misconceptions cleared and
friendship cemented.

feeling that this is a service for which
students have already paid and they
should not be double-charged."
A break down of the cost of the
book, according to Wald, shows that
$1,000 will go towards printing the
questionnaires, $700 for use of com
puter programming, $440 for use of
the optical scanner and $1,500 for the
actual printing of the book.
Wald estimates this figure as
minimum cost with many other lesser
costs excluded from the estimate.

Custodians ask for
increased salaries
Negotiations for higher salaries for
custodial help employed by the
University are in the offing, according
to John Oliva, union organizer for
local 1827, American Federar.on of
State, County and Municipal
employes, AFL-CIO.
Complaints by a group of employes
centered around pay scales but also
included parking privileges and work
schedules.
Formal union bargaining cannot
begin until late November when a
bili passed by the 1969 Legislature
becomes law, Oliva said. This law
will permit union workers employed
by the state to be officially recogniz
ed. In addition, the Board of Regents
must adopt a budget based on the
Report: high drug use
among New Left members
San Francisco, Calif. (IP) There
is a connection between drug use and
the New Left, with a higher incidence
there of distant or poor intra-family
relations, reports Dr. Richard H.
Blum.
Among the family heritages of stu
dent drug users is a high incidence
of drug use among parents, including
alcohol and tobacco, and a liberal
ermissive atmosphere, his report
reveals.
Generalizations are difficult, the
survey emphasizes, and there is a
veritable "constellation" of other dif
ficulties involved. A major factor is
the youthful search for new pleasures
and experiences, a desire to be "cool"
and "with it." It is difficult for the
non-user to be aloof to the drug scene
because of social pressure o n
metropolitan campuses where the
majority has used marijuana. Thus
the non-user becomes the unusual
case.
"Over the college years, the abs
tainers at least become users of ap
proved drugs," Dr Blum writes.
Marijuana thus becomes an "ap
proved" drug by student standards
"and an unknown but probably large
portion of some faculties as well, so
that one must expect that even the
upright will succumb to social
pressure and personal titillation . . ."
Ironically, students are shunning
tobacco because they are heeding the
warnings about lung-cancer and ad
diction; yet they smoke mnrijiiaua,
because it gives oral gratification,
gives pleasure, It is not believed to
be addictive, leaves no hangover, and,
according to students Interviewed, Is
also symbolic.
"... The climate of civil disobe
dience, the availability of a set of
moral justifications for active viola
tion of the law, and the apparent lne
quitles of present drug
penalties . . . combine to give a sense
of righteousness to the drug user on
campus.
"... Illicit drug use on campus
Is not only attractive ... but is
safe," the Blum survey declares.
Actual arrests are few and fewer
students yet are disciplined by school
authorities, he notes.
Control of either student drug traffio
or use is difficult, if not impossible,
the study points out. "Most adults
are not eager for massive police ac
tion to Invest campuses so that hun
dreds of thousands of their sons and
daughters would be arrested.

legislature's appropriation to the
University before salary scales can be
decided.
"Salaries are determined by the
Immediate supervisor," Oliva com
mented. "If a man doesn't get along
with the supervisor he never gets a
raise."
Oliva said custodial salaries start
at $1.30 per hour, while a custodian
interviewed quoted a $1.60 figure, and
the personnel office said a $1.80 per
hour.
According to William Peters, assis
tant personnel director, the $1.30
figure is for part-time help, and the
beginning pay scale for starting
janitors is a minimum wage of $1.80.
Raises are determined by the length
of time the employee has been work
ing for the University, Peters said.
"Most univiersities must ignore
discrete illicit-drug use on the campus
or be faced with painful policing of
the sort which would arouse new an
tagonism between students and
authorities. (The study, supported in
part with funds from the National
Institute of Mental Health, covered
five Western colleges or universities.)
"As the base number of marijuana,
experienced students expands, so
does the proportion willing to risk
LSD. DMT, STP, opium, heroin and
the like, Blum's Investigators note.
The survey covered drug use in
middle-and upper-class colleges. The
lower-class of use of heroin ("H" or
"hard-stuff" in the vernacular, as well
as of amphetamine or "speed") is
expected to spread "so that a certain
homogeneity in use is to bo expected
in the coming years," he concludes.
