I am getting the error "invalid null pointer"

I want to read in student names from a file and insert them into my linked-list, but I am having this problem with an error box. The error reads "Expression: Invalid Null Pointer."

I've googled with no such luck. I think I have an idea where I've went wrong, but I don't know how to fix it.

If you could help, that would be great!

Here is my code:

P.S I'm not nearly done so my code might be incomplete, I'm just trying to weed out all my errors now so I don't have triple my errors at the end.
