'Space fetuses' tell of new life By George Miller To be taken up to the "higher level" of existence, a human must give all of his energy and "give up all of your possessions and emotional attachments" in cluding his family. This was the message delivered to about 100 per sons Thursday night by two "space fetuses" at the UMHE Commonplace Chapel, 15 of whom gave them their telephone numbers so they could be contacted and given more information. . The two, a man who goes by the name of "Reach" and a woman who calls herself "Hickory "are part of a sect of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) evangel ists. The group believes that there are many levels of human existence. At a higher level, a person will be "free to travel anyplace in the universe," according to Reach. Calling their the message "the most important thing that's happened in 2,000 years," Reach said a person can go through "a natural metamorphosis" and can "change into a totally new life free from all Reach said at the time of metamorphosis, a body is "chemically and biologically changed into anew creature." Reach and Hickory said there were two other per sons who had "given their bodies up to the next level and returned reincarnated as a man and a woman." He said these people, named "Bo" and "Peep" came to earch to spread the message of human metamor phosis. Reach said Bo and Peep are the two witnesses Jesus Christ said he would send to earth in the book of Revelations in the Bible. He said they took the names Bo and Peep to avoid being worshiped instead of God. "It's pretty ludicrous to worship someone called Bo and Peep," Reach said. The two said the earth currently is growing. Reach said a 'light" or "special dispensation" has been shin ing on the earth for approximately 10 to 12 years. He said this light has "accelerated all life on the planet. People are more intense now," he said. He said people are drinking more, using more drugs or are turning to By Ann Owens The Fees Allocation Board (FAB) Thursday night discussed possibilities of reintroducing the Campus Assist ance Center (CAC) proposal. The CAC proposal was tabled by the NU Board of Regents at its December meeting. According to Don Wesley, FAB chairman, a group or individual on campus will have to publicly support the center or it will fade away. Board member Sherry Cole suggested that the board re view CAC information and decide if the center would be a good use of student fees. "If we decide the CAC is a wise use of student fees," Wesley said, "maybe FAB should be the ones to take up the banner." In other business: -Board member John Dobitz presented a Center for Students and Organizations budget report. The board discussed possible finance procedure chang es for two organizations. . Wesley suggested that state funds might be used for the new student orientation program rather than student fees. Board member Dennis Martin suggested the Commun ity Involvement Service (CIS) might receive institutional support because many studen ts are required to use CIS for class work. CIS sends student volunteer workers into the community. -A subcommittee report on Nebraska Union opera tions was discussed. The report recommends that the Union discontinue giving free meals to Union Advisory Board members before each advisory board meeting. -Faculty board member Skip Walters proposed chang es, in student fee allocation procedures. In his proposal, Walter suggested that student organizations raise some of their own funds. AS UN Sen. Scott Cook attended the meeting and told the board that a resolution he proposed at the Senate meeting Wednesday night was an attempt to increase cooperation between the Senate and FAB to clear up what he called discrepancies before the budget request is submitted.

CSL proposes alcohol consumption, possession By Liz Crumley The proposal included a recommendation that alcohol posals at their Tuesday meeting and had sent th( The Council on Student Life (CSL) passed a proposal legalization be accompanied by publicity saying why it is for action. Thursday night recommending that "alcohol consumption being allowed and the state laws concerning its use. CSL members questioned the r.eed for coei j : l. -it j u umi rn,.ii. uritVi An amendment was added reenmmendino that the flmro u;?h -a .,;: a . and possession be allowed (on the UNL campus) witn certain university restrictions as a differential housing option." Differentiated housing provides students with the opportunity to live in a residence hall area suited to their interests. The provision allows alcohol possession in student's rooms at any time, in residence halls, floor lounges with the permission of the residence director and in designated party areas for special occasions with permission. An amendment was added recommending that the UNL chancellor direct the University Housing Office, the counseling center and University Health Center "work to gether to develop a viable alcohol education program." CSL then unanimously passed an amendment stating consumption and possession would be a housing option. Meanwhile, CSL defeated a proposal recommending that coeducational living be set up as integrated floors with male and female students assigned to alternating or randomly selected rooms. The Housing Policy Committee had passed these pro- m posals at their Tuesday meetinff and had sent them to CSL CSL members questioned the r.eed for coeducational floors with a 24-hour visitation option and questioned puouc reaction tne proposal passed. CSL also passed a recommendation requiring that residence halls lock their doors at 1 ajn. This is a con tinuation of current policy. This would help with possible increased crime prob lems if a 24-hour visitation plan in residence halls was implemented, according to HPC number?. The approved recommendations now go to the UNL chancellor and then to the NU Board of Regents for consideration. fnrnskn union rood service v un nounce ew Hours for the North Crib and Harvest Room Effective Mon.
