A car screeches to a
halt on a country road.
The man behind the wheel
stares out the window as
his wife wakes their child
to "look at the Rainiers."
In Lincoln, the Wild
Rainiers (people wearing
big Rainier Beer bottles
or cans on their heads)
parade across the Capitol
lawn.
Advertisements are
placed in the personal
column of the Daily Neb
raskan hinting as to where
these beer-people will show
up next.
Larry Valasek, sales and
marketing representative
for Lincoln Beer Distri
buting Co., Inc. at 500
Garfield St., is one of the
Wild Rainiers. He said the
Rainier advertisements are
designed "to create a mys
tique." While the Wild Rai
niers do not always show
up where personal ads
indicate, Valasek said Rai
nier Beer can be found at
bars in that vicinity.
Valaseksaid Rainier Beer
is sold in about 75 per
cent of Lincoln bars and
is represented in 100 per
cent of the city's liquor
stores. He estimates that
Rainier has captured 12
percent of the beer market
since it moved into Lin
coln on March 26.
Rainier's move into Lin
coln is a symptom of the
company's expansion. The
company was founded in
1878 in Seattle, Wash.,
and only interrupted pro
duction for Prohibition,
said Jim Foster, the com
pany's advertising mana
ger. He said Rainier became
a subdivision of G. Heile
man Brewing Co. in 1977.
Foster said" Rainier is
the No. 1 selling beer in
Washingto and Montana
and, overall, has the highest
market share within the
Pacific Northwest region.

Auditioners cite admiration
and opportunities of Bunnies
By Jay Mulligan
Bunnies do multiply. The living
proof was found last week when 668
would-be Playboy bunnies audition
ed in Omaha.
The auditions took place last week
to prepare for the opening of the
Playboy Club at Omaha's Sheraton
Inn.
The auditions were conducted by
Playboy officials, including interna
tional Bunny Mother Harriet Bassler
and two bunnies from the Chicago
club.
Several UNL students and many
other women from Lincoln auditi
oned. Lincoln applicant Beth Daily said
she heard about the auditions from
a friend, and they both decided to
attend. This is vhat happened:
At 5:30 p.m. potential bunnies,
dressed in leotards and high heels,
arrived.
At 8 p.m. when her number was
called, the applicant had her pic
ture taken, filled out an information
card and waited again.
At 9 p.m. the applicant was inter
viewed by the "bunny mother" Bas
sler. She asked the applicant if she
was working, if so, where, and why
she wanted to be a bunny. At the
end of the interview, the applicant
was asked to walk across the room,
turn and come back.
Daily said she wanted to be a part
of the excitement of the club. She
said that it would be a challenge to
become a bunny.
"I think it's nice to have people
think that you are good-looking "
Daily said.
Daily said she does not think Play
boy magazine is sexist. She said that
women who think Playboy is sexist
are jealous or do not like competi
tion from other women.
UNL student Jeanne Kerr said
she auditioned because she thought
that it would be "nice to be admired."
Kerr said she auditioned after her
mother did earlier that day.
Sallye Ramsey of Omaha said she
tried out "for the challenge of it."
Ramsey said that she thinks the
magazine is sexist.
"It's nice to hint, but some things
should be left up to the imagina
tion," Ramsey said. ,
"I think people will be surprised to
learn that I'm a bunny if I become
one," Ramsey said.

not allowed to use their last names
while working) said her parents
were surprised to find out that she
was going to be a bunny.
"When I tried out I didn't tell my
parents," Monica said. "When I made
it, I brought the patch of cloth home
that they had given so that I could
get a pair of shoes to match. I
showed the piece to my parents and
they didn't understand what it was
for. I had to explain it all to them,
but when they understood they were
as excited as I was.
, I'd always wanted to be a bunny,"
Monica said. "It's been a great step
ping stone for me."
Monica said she gets more model
ing jobs and offers to do television
commercials because she is a bunny.
She also said traveling was a big
part of work.
"I've been on the David Letter
man Show, I visit conventions and I
even got to come to Omaha for this
Bunny Hunt," Monica said.
"An attractive female with a nice
smile, well-proportioned figure and
an upbeat personality are the char
acteristics of a Playboy Bunny" said
Bassler.
Bassier said that being a Bunny is
more than being a cocktail waitress.
It is a chance to get into modeling,
acting or to go on to a career in
management, she said.
Omaha was chosen as a club site
because Playboy thinks the club will
attract customers traveling through
the United States and encourage
them to stay in Omaha. Recently a
club opened in Lansing, Mich., and
made more than $1 million in its
first year.
The women who auditioned will
learn whether or not they have been
selected in a week to 10 days. A
three-week training program will
start April 30. The 60 bunnies select
ed will learn make-up techniques,
the proper style of food and drink
service and the famous Bunny Dip,
Bunny Perch and Bunny Stance.
The club is scheduled to open in
mid-May,
One-year membership keys can
be purchased for $25 at the club.
Keyholders can visit any club at any
time and bring as many guests as
they choose.
Keyholders also can come to the
club to get a copy of the month's
issue of Playboy, receive discounts
on car rentals and motel lodging.
