Indians get it together Huskers go to Miami -" KmS Conthmed from nam 1 Only one American Indian has ever graduated from NU, but at least 11 of the 15 native Americans currently enrolled here are determined to become a viable force on this campus while improving that statistic They've formed the New In dian Liberation Movement,, a group which hopes to "make the University more aware of Indian culture and heritage in America," according to Alice Neundorf, the group's coordinator. "Indians are captives in their own eoantry, said Neondwf, Nlfs lone Indian atomic. "People are aot wi&htg to ad mit we had something to da vita this country. She said the group will try to 'hange that attitude eundorf said one of the " dents principle objectives is isolate "universal problems' j all Indians in America in order to have definitive pro blems to work on. She cited University foreign language requirements as an example of one front the In dians might attack. "Indians come to the University speak ing their own native languages, Neundorf explain ed. "Why shouldn't that satisfy language requirements?'' She noted that it does for foreign students. So far, the New Indian Liberation Movement organization has passed ette proposal which may raise some, eyebrows ta the women's liberation movement Men have two votes en any given issue. Women have one. "When the buffalo died out Indian men couldnt adjust to the tremendous cultural void said Neundorf. But the cultural change was not as great for Indian women, who still had their family and child-bearing responsibilities she continued. As a result, "Indian men Drug users, freakouts, can get help, not arrest Someone is freaking out from an overdose of drugs. Bow can he get help without being busted? There are several places a person can turn for help, both on campus and in the Lincoln community, according to Dr. Carmen Grant, Director of Public Health for the University Health Center. Student Health is the main place for a student with drug problems to turn on campus, she said. For non-emergency situations where people are just trying to kick the drug habit, there is help available at the University Psychological Clinic on the first floor of Burnett Hall. Neither agency notifies authorities of who is being treated, Dr. Grant said. Lincoln's three major hospitals, Lincoln General, Bryan, and St. Elizabeth's, all have 21-hour emergency treat ment service. This includes treatment for bad drug ex periences. Administrators from all three hospitals said It is hospital policy not to notify police of drug abuse cases. "it & our hope that m this way we can encourage those people who need help to come and get it without fear of legal implications," Robert Rungard, a Lincoln General Hospital ad ministrator, said. The University counseling service also makes counseling available for students with drug problems. Though not designed specifically for drug problems, the new Lincoln Personal Crisis Service could also be helpful In dealing with drug problems. The service has trained volunteers who can help people in times of great stress, ac cording to Rev. George Edgar of the Southeast Nebraska Psychiatric Clinic. The service is confidential and may be reached by dialing 4754171. bore less responsibility fa famBies, she said. "And women got stronger. "The girls (in the group) agreed that we could make a start in helping men become leaders in the family again. And as for women's libbers, "they dent know anything about Indians,' said Neundorf. Gary Lasleyk student at Nebraska Wesleyan University, said the five Indians at NWU would, probably join the NU group.

"To say yon can treat er nnderstaad them is wrong.' The coarse b "not of educative vane to students," he said. It's a Regent's responsibility to "assert leadership for the people, Prokop added.

It's impossible to know which bowl will decide the national championship. "We would like to play the team from which we can gain the most by winning,' offered De vaney. "We figure if we play well enough in the last two games we have a chance to be number one, but there's just no way of knowing at which bowl the championship could be won. Devaney said several things contributed to the team's enthusiasm over the Orange Bowl. "The kids felt that the Orange Bowl was a very prestigious bowl, said the Nebraska coach. "It's the only game on TV at that time of night and there will be wide TV coverage of it" The Orange Bowl is also covered by an arti ficial turf called Polly Turf which is quite similar to AstroTurf . And the Orange Bowl brings in more money for a team than does either the Cotton or Sugar. Possible opponents include Notre Dame, LSU, Air Force, Mississippi and Tennessee. Devaney admitted that he was glad the de cision was made. "It's a lot different than last year," smiled Devaney. "We were carousing around to try and find someone to take us last year.' Nebraska's last visit to the Orange Bowl was in 1965 when Alabama claimed a 39-28 win over the Huskers. r Rome.
