pegs 3 Tegal high' drugs aren't amphetamines HY JEFF GOODWIN Lincoln nadents may be getting less than they bar gained for if they answer a classified ad which recently appeared m The Uncobi Journal and The U ncoln ISr y The ad, which offered what were called legal stimu lants mentioned "white crosses," which, like "speed," is street slang for amphetamines. Bruce Gillan, a deputy county attorney, said the operation would be illegal if they were controlled sub stances. He said that, although the ad implies the drugs are amphetamines, "I would bet that they aren't. What it amounts to is that this company is making lots of money selling caffeine and ephedrine to people." Dan Crosley, a spokesman for the company, Hi-Lo Distributor of Oklahoma City, said the pills contain 25 milligrams of ephedrine. A spokesman for the narcotics bureau of the State Pa trol said the pills being sold were commonly called "rip off drugs." He added that the pills were similar in chemi cal makeup to stimulants such as No-Doz. Crosley said he hadn't heard any complaints from people about being cheated. "People call them rip-off drugs, but they do what they're supposed to do," Crosley said. Crosley said local police departments are usually noti fied when an ad is run in a city. "We give the lowdown on what we're doing to the po lice. What we sell is completely legal," Crosley said. Crosley refused to speculate on whether people bought the drugs with the expectation that they were buying speed. "I have no idea what people buy them for " he said. Even though they may not be as dangerous as speed, there is still a health hazard involved in taking too many caffeine pills. Pat Harley, a pharmacist at the student health center, said overuse can result in nervousness, weight loss, and an inability to think straight. Both caffeine and ephedrine are drugs which are used by many in every day circumstances. Ephedrine is used in several substances to relieve hay fever, asthma and nasal congestion. Caffeine is a mild stimulant which is found in tea, coffee and colas. mm IV l mm UNL education departments merge photo by Bill Graf BY MICHELLE STEWART The elementary and secondary education departments of Teachers College at UNL are in the process of merging, Dr. O.W. Kopp, professor of educational administration said. The elementary education offices are being moved from the second floor of Teachers College to Henzlik, where the secondary education offices are now located. The educational administration and teacher placement offices will be moved out of Henzlik, but the location for these offices is not yet known, Kopp said.

"The purpose of the merger is to create greater articu lation in the course offerings. We want to work toward a better understanding of what is happening at the differ ent age levels for our students here," he said. The move will cause certain education classes to cover material involving both elementary and secondary areas so that there will be a greater awareness of the entire public school system for the UN-L student who plans on teaching, he said. The plan to merge the elementary and secondary de partments was approved in January, 1981. Henzlik, as a result of the merge, is being completely "refurbished," Kopp said. The move should be completed by the start of the fall semester. There will be no added requirements for those already enrolled in either elementary or secondary education; however, there may be some changes for future students. At the present, the departments are just working toward a greater awareness of all the grade levels in education, he said. Gateway to change location automatic teller may stay Summer Nebraskan The Summer Nebraskan is published weekly by the University of Nebraska Lincoln School of Journalism during eight weeks of the summer sessions.The Summer Nebraskan office is 112 Avery Hall, City Campus. Telephone 472-2209. Editor: Brian McManus Business Manager: Jennifer Ehrlich Account Representative:Kay Herbert Reporter: Lori Merryman Photographer: Bill Graf Advisors: Jack Botts and Don Glover Dealn , School of Journalism: Neale Copple 1 BY TERRI PARRISH It looks like "Marvelous Max," the automated teller ma chine in the Nebraska Union, at 14th and R streets, may not be dead yet. Although Gateway Bank will be closing its campus of fice and moving to a larger facility at 16th anc P streets next month, it would like to leave "Max" in the Union, said Sue Hiatt, vice president in charge of operations. The fate of "Max" will depend on if the Union leases the space "Max" occupies along with the bank's space. Frank Kuhn, assistant director of operations at the Union, said that so far there haven't been any interested bidders on the bank's space. However, there are other banks interested in the automated teller machine, he said. No decisions have been made as yet because further consultation on what's legal and what isn't are still need ed, Kuhn said. The Union will also have to consult the Department of Banking's regulations concerning automated tellers, he said. Frank Kuhn said that the Union would like to leave an automated teller there because many students and faculty members use "Max," even though they don't bank at Gateway Bank. The new branch will be open Aug. 17. The new facility will have three drive-in lanes and an automated teller machine, Hiatt said. Hiatt said the bank would like to open itself up to drive-in customers and also downtown customers. At present the campus office can only accommodate walk-in customers. Parking is also a problem at the Union loca tion, Hiatt said. Bryant recipient You're "Special" With Us!
