Indiana Jones fought through
forests of Nazis and snakes to
recover the long lost and fabled
Arc of the Covenant,
Monday, Aaron McDowell
squeezed through a 1-foot by 3
foot vent in his floor lounge and
found a long lost and previously
unheard of time capsule.
The time capsule actually is a
gallon pickle jar that was left by
the Abel Four class of 1974.
McDowell's roommate Randal
Harder said the capsule contains
memorabilia ranging from down
slips to football posters.
"It's just a whole load of paper
things from 1974," Harder said.
"A few of them are crumbled, but
most of it is in perfect shape."
McDowell discovered the jar by
accident. The floor's stage-like
lounge has several vents and open
spaces beneath it, and McDowell,
on a dare from some friends,
tried to crawl through the smal
lest vent. "I had just got in a little
way when I found thi3 thing," he
said.
The jar, which was sealed, in
cluded a schedule of classes, a
Residence Hall Association news
letter, a floor news letter called
"Floorplay," a pregnancy pam
phlet, a Coors beer can, three down
slips, a completed class work
sheet and an issue of the Daily
Nebraskan.
There's more, but we haven't
been able to get to all the stuff
yet," Harder said.
McDowell said the floor resi
dents will try to contact some of
the members of the 1974 group.
The only acknowledgement in
cluded in the time capsule is
attributed to a Jeff Lee, who cred
its himself for building the lounge
and asks that if the time capsule
is opened, that his name be put in
a hall of fame. Neither McDowell
or Harder knows what hall of
fame Lee is talking about.
"We're going to keep it out for a
while, and if we can't find any of
the people from 1 974, we're going
to put it back," McDowell said.
"We might add some of our own
stuff to it, too."

ASUN to have
hearing on changes
in constitution
The Association of Students of
the University of Nebraska will
have a public hearing to discuss
proposed amendments to its
constitution Nov. 7 at 9 p.m. in
the Nebraska Union.
Proposed revisions include put
ting candidates for president and
first and second vice president
on the same slate.
ASUN's Special Topics commit
tee chairman Joel Ita said the
amendments are primarily a
"clean-up job" on the constitu
tion, which hasn't been revised
since its adoption in 1965.
The amendments should ena
ble the senate to run more effi
ciently and effectively, ASUN
speaker Clark Osborn said.
ASUN is seeking student input
on the amendments before pres
enting them to the NU Board of
Regents in December, Ita said.
