   or more places */

/* You MUST NOT use any constant, such as 65 or 97, below.  If you
 * need a constant, you must declare a symbol above.  You will lose
 * one point (25% of the full score) for each occurrence of a numeric
 * constant below.  
 * 
 * Reason: unexplained constants make programs difficult to understand
 * and difficult to debug.  When you write 96, what does it mean? Does
 * it mean 97 - 1 (the character before 'a')? Does it mean 3 * 32?

 * This function opens the file whose name is given as the
 * argument. If the file cannot be opened, the function returns NULL.
 * You must use NULL.  Do not use the numeric value 0 becaue they have
 * different meanings.
 *
 * If the file is opened successfully, the function reads the records.
 * Each student has an ID (integer) and a name (string).  For
 * simplicity, each student's name is only one string, not two for
 * first name and last name.  Each student's record uses one line;
 * i.e., two students use two differnet lines.
 * 
 * It is possible that a line has no record.  Please be careful that
 * this "empty" line may contain space or invisible characters. Your
 * program should discard the lines that do not include an integer and
 * a string.
 *
 * The program stores the students' records in a linked list.  You do
 * not have to sort the record inside this function.
 *
 * This function returns the first node of the linked list.  Please
 * remember a valid linked list should end with NULL.
