the Nixon museum is irrelevant.
They have museums in every
presidential library where I've
been. At these museums they really
have nothing more than
memorabilia. The people who
come to them are high school
students and tourists."
Responsible for many research
discoveries, Loewenheim revealed
secretly taped conversations in the
Oval Office by President Dwight
Eisenhower starting in 1953 and
uncovered evidence that President
Harry Truman twice considered
dropping atomic bombs on China
and the Soviet Union during the
Korean War.

NC roomies to get legal
Bill of Rights next year
The Residence Hall Association
of the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill apparently
intends to adopt a Roomate Bill of
Rights that may involve legal
contracts, according to the Daily
Tar. Heel.
RHA President Robert Bianca
recently disclosed his innovative
plan in a Newsweek supplemental
article that outlined the proposed
Bill of Rights. The bill lists specific
rights, including the right to study
and sleep as well as live in a clean
environment.
The RHA plans to add a legal
clause to the bill and incorporate it
into a handbook on room rights to
be issued next year. Though plans
are tentative, the Campus Governing
Council at the university has
already budgeted funds for the
project.
Historian Loewenheim
advises Duke on library
Texas A&M's campus
newspaper, the Battalion, recently
printed a UPI story on Rice
History Professor Frances
Loewenheim, who advised the
administration of Duke University
to determine which papers of
former President Richard Nixon
will be available to the public prior
to signing committments for
housing the proposed Nixon
library.
Loewenheim, who has devoted
much time to research in
presidential libraries, contends
that there is little value in
"becoming a celebrated storehouse
for records nobody can see. I am
not sure the people at Duke
understand what it is they may be
getting and the circumstances
under which they may be getting
the materials," said Loewenheim,
adding that "Nixon's associates
cannot guarantee what they will be
able to hand over."
He also commented on the
controversial proposal of a Nixon
museum, saying *The point about

officials of having a good time?
The answer seems to come in the
form of a game called "Assassin",
which is currently sweeping across
many campuses around the
country.
"Assassin" constitutes risk-
taking. Residential hall staffs at
the College of William and Mary
avoid walking alone across
campus and must remain
constantly alert. At any moment, a
victim could be ambushed and
"killed."
"Killers aim carefully and blast
their "victims" with a mighty
squirt. The rules of the game are
simple. Players have "contracts"
for shooting 'targets" with water
guns. "Targets" can only be shot at
when alone or with one other
person. A target is safe with a
group of two or more. Targets can
shoot first in self-defense, and if
they strike their assailant, they are
safe from attack for twelve hours.
DOONESBUKT
"Assassin" can be played tor any
amount of time as long as the time
limit is specific.
According to "Assassin"
participants at William and Mary,
the appeal of the game lies in its
unpredictability. Each player
avoids "termination" but there are
always times when thev are
vulnerable to attack. Participants
go on to say that the game
promotes unity, togetherness and
paranoia.
