Court may add senators
Student court is considering a college
classification for undeclared and unclassi
fied students for electing ASUN senators,
according to Ken Christofferson, second
vice president. . i
Presently, students who are not
members of a particular college are unable
to elect senators to represent themselves.
They can vote for ASUN officers, however.
The matter should be resolved in time
to make changes before this spring's ASUN
elections, Christofferson said at Wednes
day's ASUN meeting.
Christofferson said he supports such a
move because "there are so many of them
(undeclared and Unclassified students) that
a denial of their vote is a denial of their
basic rights as students."
In other business, RHA President Mike
Gibson discussed reasons for the proposed
$70 price increase for student room and
board.
Gibson cited the increase in minimum
wage, rising utility costs and extending of
security and desk services as reasons behind
the increase.
"I'm accepting it," Gibson said, saying
the increase is unavoidable. "I'm not in
favor of it and I'm not against it."
First vice president Charles Fellingham
said the Community Relations Committee
is trying to improve general student atten
dance at ASUN meetings.
Five personal letters are being sent daily
to random students inviting their input at
meetings.
Five senators had submitted resignations
prior to Wednesday's meeting, citing semes
ter graduation and personal reasons, bring
ing the total number of ASUN vacancies to
eight.
The Appointments Committee is obtain
ing applications to interview interested stu
dents to fill the vacancies.

College life: a kid's view
By Laura Castleberry
Being a college student has certain
prestige attached to it, at least college
students like to think so. But the
younger generation may have quite a
different image of college students.
Various age groups of elementary
school children were interviewed at
Prescott Elementary School in Lincoln.
Red-haired Greg Gould, age five,
had some strong feelings on college.
When asked what college was, he
matter-of-factly replied "That's where
111 go as soon as I get out of Prescott.
Asked what it meant to graduate, he
grimmaced and said, "To graduate
means to get married. You don't grad
uate from Prescott you just get out."
When asked if college students get
married, he replied, "Of course not! The
government wouldn't allow it."
Tom Hennessy, a 7-year-old, said
he can easily recognize college students
because "they're all real big and they
all wear red jackets."
The average age of a college student
was between 11 and 15 according to
Melony Bills, age 6. Anyone older than
23 is "too old for college, because then
you have babies."
Greg said he thought George
Washington started colleges "because he
invented everything."
He added that Jimmy Carter helped
Washington start colleges.
Nearly all the children said they
thought college students were "smart,"
"They're all smart" said Sonya
Friesel, age seven, and a second grader,
"because they can do their times tables
by heart."
For recreation, college students kiss
and drink beer, according to some child
ren. Tony Yost, age seven, added, "They
kiss so much they get tired, then they
study."
But Greg argued that "There is no
kissing in college otherwise the govern
ment will kick you out."
The children's reasons for going to
college ranged from "So you can work
at a gas station" to "wearing a football
outfit."
"All college students play football
except hippies" stated Kelly Brady, age
8. She added that the difference
between hippies and other college stu
dents is that "hippies read books with
just plain words, no pictures or any
thing!" College students "have these rooms
with bars on the windows and doors,
so they have to stay in there and study
all the time," according to Todd Sand
berg, age six.
Sonya said she thought she wanted
to go to college someday. "It would be
so much fun and all the boys that go
(to college) are so handsome," she said.
Todd said he would go because "of
all the Marines that are at college."
More FBI assassination files released
Washington-J. Edgar Hoover seethed with disdain for
associated press
datelines
'prominent critics who accused the FBI of bungling the
investigation of the murder of John F. Kennedy, bureau
files showed.
The angry memos exchanged among Hoover and his
closest associates resort to harsh name -calling to describe
such critics as Mark Lane and Dick Gregory,
These memos are part of the 58,754 pages of files that
the FBJ made public to comply with requests under the
Freedom of Information Act. With the 40,001 pages
released last month, they comprise virtually all of the
bureau's files on the assassination of the president on
.Nov, 22, 1963 in Dallas. " , V
British government condemned
Strasbourg, France-The European Court of Human
Rights condemned the British government Wednesday for
letting its security forces use "inhuman and degrading"
third-degree methods of questioning suspected members
of the Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland in
1971. But the court turned down a recommendation of
its Advisory Commission on Human Rights that the five
techniques of interrogation to which it objected be called
torture. '
