BY BARB WHITE
Ctitiegian Staff Writer
Students with academic problems of any kind are
invited to discuss them with the people in 203 HUB,
the office of Academic Assembly.
Academic Assembly's purpose is to "keep
students informed ;of what the University is doing
in the area of academics and to keep the University
informed of what; students want," according to
Academic Assembly President Bob Mazur.
Mazur also said Academic Assembly should deal
with all academic matters concerning students and
mediate between students and administrators.
Academic*... - !iAssembly is composed of the
president and vice president of each of the. 10
college, student councils and one member at large
from each college. Elected by the students in each
college is a 'student Faculity Senator, who is the

college. The assembly members elect a president
from within their groups.

"Bigfoot." as the residents

captured imaginations and
curiousities ever since the
discovery of an 18-inch
footprint on a dreary fog

Subsequent "sightings" of

officials.
Now; however, police face

Student Council. said. "any student in the college

Many college councils were having trouble
getting student interest and help last Fall Term.
The College of Health, Physical Education and
Recreation did not ,have a student council for three
or' four years till last fall, when repregentatives
from the college organizations where elected to
service on the student council. These
representatives elected officers for their council.
The College of Arts and Architecture Student
Council tried to get more students interested in the
council by placing students in the college on
various committees, suet' as the International
Education and Research Committees, and holding
a foffeehours for the students and faculty.
Mazur 'said Academic Assembly is more of
means of communication between, the' colleges
than a service organization. He said the college

of possible accidental
shootings,as the Bigfoot myth
turns into what one officer
called a "sickening
situation.-
"A couple of days ago,"
reported one local official, "a
police department got called
to a farm by a woman who
said she saw a black object in
her field.
"When they got there, she
had a bead drawn on the
object. It turned out to be a
man in a dark sweatshirt
training his bird dog."
"Eight-foot is awful big to
be walking around the
countryside without leaving
but one footprint here and

don't want to discount it, but
get me some concrete
evidence."
All the evidence that exists
apparently is in the
possession of Stan Gordon. a
23-year-old electronics
specialist who took two weeks
off work to gather
information on Bigfoot.
Gordon has obtained waste

wants to have analyzed but
his investigation doesn't

credibility where it counts.
Gordon, whose background
includes the presidency of a

Among the troop of
witnesses is John Chedrick

Chedrick, 61, suffered chest
