Blacks seek ASUN allocation
By Shelley Smith
Tie acting president of the Afro American Collegiate
Society (AACS) told ASUN Wednesday night it would
benefit ASUN and the university to allocate funds for 10
senate members to attend a Black Student Government
Conference.
However, ASUN was unable to vote on any issues
Wednesday because they lacked two people for a required
two-thirds quorum.
AACS acting president Hubert Brown said he felt it is
necessary to "expose our members to black student
government in a predominantly white universtiy."
The AACS is asking for $150 to pay the registration
fees for a conference scheduled February 24-25 in Nor
man, Okla.
ASUN President Ken Marienau said a NU Board of Re
gents rule prohibits ASUN allocations to another organiza
tion. However, Marienau said ASUN could allocate the
money out of non-student accounts, or give the money to
the Committee for Minority Enrollment and have it al
locate the funds.
ASUN senators also discussed a resolution opposing
the April 27th Parents Day which is expected to be voted
on next week.
The resolution criticizes the planning of Parents Day
because little or no student opinion on the date selection
was considered.
However, Bob Gleason, chairman of the Government
Liaison Committee said he felt ASUN should support Pa
rents Day because the event is "real important" to Chan
cellor Roy Young.
Freeze-drying perks up wet library
Sunnyvale, Calif. -The wisdom of the ages is being
freeze-dried like coffee in an attempt to rescue 40,000
waterlogged library books.
The volumes are going through a transformation that
makes them hard as a rock, then brittle as potato chips,
then -it is hoped -ready to go back on the shelves.
sscste6( press
As part of the process, each book is spending a few
days in a vacuum chamber that was used to test the lunar
land rover.
The books were soaked Nov. 4 when the water main
serving Stanford University's library ruptured. Most of the
flooded volumes were works of philosophy, religion and
other humanities, but some rare 17th-century minatures
were also soaked, as was a collection of Time magazines.
The soggy books were rushed to commercial freezers
to prevent mold. They stayed there until Monday, when a
dozen Stanford employees and volunteers removed the
first 5,000 books from the freezers, carefully unpacked
them from cardboard crates and lined them up on shelves
put up in a 1 5-by-l 8-by-50 foot vacuum chamber at Lock
heed Missiles and Space Co. here.
Officials at Lockheed say freeze-drying books is a first
for them. They're doing the work free and say it's costing
S50.000.
Super salary
Hollywood-In a single bound, Steve McQueen has
overtaken Marlon Brando's "Superman" salary with a S3
million on-film contract that is probably the biggest in
movie history.
"McQueen's salary will be bigger than Brando's,"
Arthur Canton, publicist for "Tai Pan," said Thursday.
"Tai Pan" is a $40 million two-part epic based on
James Clavell's best -selling novel about an adventurer who
marries a Chinese woman in Hong Kong. Industry sources
say McQueen's contract calls for $3 million plus a per
centage of the profits.

Businesses ask relief
Washington-Forty-one companies have requested
exceptions from President Carter's anti-inflation wage
guidelines, but only five have so far sought relief from the
price standards the administration announced Wednesday.
Barry Bosworth, director of the president's Council on
Wage and Price Stability, disclosed the figures in
testimony submitted to a House Government Operations
subcommittee that is holding hearings on Carter's anti
inflation program.
Many of the firms are seeking exceptions to the 7 per
cent wage increase guideline on the grounds of "acute
labor shortage," a category used particularly by compan
ies that require highly specialized work.
Cooperative fuel saving
Washington -The Carter administration has stepped up
efforts to head off mandatory fuel-saving measures with a
White House order from government oil conservation, a
plan to "jawbone" industry into cooperating and a drive
to "beat the bushes" for additional supplies.
An administration source who asked not to be named
said Tuesday additional measures were being prepared for
the president's consideration.
The moves were prompted by continued loss of Iran's
oil production, which supplied more than five million
barrels a day-some nine percent of the non-Communist
world's oil-before political turmoil halted it.
