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

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.

would probably be extended a bid from the Orange
Bowl
Notre Dame wfll be in the same situation next
week as Nebraska was this week should they win.
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.
