This was very common on French bikes sold in europe they offered five or four and ten speed editions of the same bikes. So the lesser bikes just did not have the second lever.Typically only the tens where imported to the US. Chances are they guy brought this low end sucker on trip and it brought in privetly through the college. Just a great bike for one found in this shape. Very interesting but not a lot of value.
