Publicity stunt of the week All you have to do to get some attention is do something just a little unusual, according to a Free Speech Movement (FSM) member. And that's ex actly what FSM got Monday a little attention. FSMS Peace Committee held their regular afternoon meeting in the ROTC building and got attention,, -mostly from the Campus Police. About a dozen people entered the building in a group at ap proximately 1 p.nu They sat in the hall and discussed details of an upcoming dance planned for the Nebraska Union. An Army officer listened for a few moments and invited the group to meet in a classroom. According to Mike Barret of FSM-the officer told them to call if tfiey ever wanted to use the room again. A few campus policemen ar rived shortly after the group entered the classroom. Wit nesses said the police sug gested that the group follow ' 'normal procedures" to ar range' meetings in the future. Police took photographs of the participants but neither they or ROTC officials tried to stop the meeting. Dean for Student Develop ment Russel Brown, Peter Wirtz of Student Affairs and ASUN President Steve Tiwaldl all came to the ROTC building when they heard of the meeting. None of them made any statements to the Peace Committee. The Committee talked about the dance and, according to participant Ron Kurtenbach, some "larger issues. Barret invited ROfC officials and police to sit in on the meetings and added that the FSM would be happy to provide snapshots so the Campus Police wouldn't have to take pictures. Professor of Military Science Col. William Gist, who was away at a conference when the FSM arrived, said he had no objections to the meeting. 'We're for peace, too," he noted. Gist said he took advantage cf the meeting by giving the FSM people literature and in viting them to join the ROTC program. ' Tonight 'New York Underground!

Both times gummy residue from soap clogged the strainer so that the pump was unable to draw water. The anti-foaming agent in the water prevented the expected deluge of suds, but the fountain still had to be dismantled and cleaned. These two incidents, plus a light fixture apparently broken by a thrown rake handle, cost the university about $250, ac cording to George Krauss, as sistant to the physical plant ad ministrator. A conviction of causing more than $100 damage under the malicious destruction of pro perty law can also mean a fine up to $1,000. If the damage is under $100, the act is a misdemeanor, with a fine upon conviction of at least $100 and up to $500, or a sentence of up to six months in county jail. No leads have turned up in the investigation of the damage, Gail Gade, chief of campus security, said Tuesday. ORANGE D0WL SPECIAL! The team is ready! You are ready! Are your clothes ready?
