She said colleges are harder to get into and even harder to stay in. The International Education Service (IES) helped with registration and held meetings for foreigners to meet each other, she said. They also sug gested places to go and things to do she said. ' Leung said she misses being able to go to the bars. Since there is no drink ing age in Spain, she has a mature attitude about drinking. "People here want to party and get drunk," she said.

This year some of the fines are even steeper. "We wish we didn't have to have fines, but we basically use them to encourage students to return their books on time," said Anita Cook, chair woman of the department of university libraries. The fine increase was made for materials with a two-hour loan period. The fine is now $1 for every hour that the library is open after the loan period is up. According to Cook, too many stu dents would rather pay the fine and keep the material overnight to study. This causes the rest of the class to be without sufficient materials, so the fine was increased. For regular books with a four-week loan period, the fine is still 10 cents a day, with a three-day grace period and a maximum fine of $10. "With a fine of under $10 nothing much happens, but once the fine rea- sign up now for leagues at the East Union North 40 UNL Bowling Team Tryouts (Men and Women) Sept 6 & 7 Sign up at East Union Lanes WELCOME BACK SPECIAL 50c Open Bowling All Day, Any Day AUg5-S(3ptJArM-tit, 1 1 i ; t t M ; t ' A rrm V- ft -it 6 LEAGUE Husker Pin Pounders .

After the three-day grace period, the students are sent notices informing them of their overdue books. The noti ces are a big expense to the library Cook said. ' If fines are not paid, students are blocked from the library and face a possible hold on their registrations and transcripts. Beyond this, students could be forced to pay fines before thev can graduate. However, it rarely goes that far, Cook said, because "students have so many opportunities to pay the fine." Students may pay their fines at the circulation desk of either Love Library or C.Y. Thompson Library on East Cam pus. Once a fine is removed, the univer sity keeps no record of it. The library does keep strict records of those owing fines, however. Some students have fines over $100, Cook said. The library does not keep the money collected from fines; it goes straight to the university. Students can obtain a list of library policies and regulations at the circula tion desk. Legal services too costly, Spire says SPIRE from Page 1 Spire said lawyers' responsibilities "go far beyond that of making a living.'' Lawyers should be concerned about the public and the improvement of the legal system, he said. "Ninety percent of lawyers are serv ing 10 percent of the population," he said. This is because many Americans cannot afford a lawyer. "We need to make the system mine cost-effective and accessable," he said. "You can be a successful practi tioner, representing businessmen. . . . But you can also serve poor people and their cases, and still get by," he said. Spire did volunteer legal work before he became attorney general. Spire said only eight percent of the law students in the 173 accredited law schools in the U.S. are minorities. More minorities should be brought in, he said. "When I went to law school (30 years ago), it was an old boys club (made of) white, upperclass students," he said. "Today it's different," with 37 percent women and eight percent minor ities, he said. "I applaud those changes but it should bring in more minorities," he said. Spire said he. has broadened the attorney generai's office by adding minorities to the staff. It w y Remember family or friends with Special Occasion, Get Welt or Memorial cards.
