By John Pic!:
W. Don Nelson, administrator for two of Nebras
ka's pest three governors, recently was named chief
of stalTby Gov. Bob Kerrey.
Nelson, who served under Govs. Norbert Tiemann
and J. James Exon in the State OfP.ce of Planning
and Programming (now the Policy Research Office),
replaces William Hoppner as Gov. Kerrey's adviser.
Hoppner said in 1 082 he would serve only two years.
In a written statement, Kerrey said, "Don Nelson
brings a wealth of education and experience to the
job, and I am extremely pleased that he has agreed
to accept this responsibility."
The governor and Nelson have yet to define the
specifics of this responsibility.
The actual job will develop as part of the inter
personal relationship," Nelson said. "I have no clear
cut role it will be a balance of administrative and
advising duties."
One thing it will not be, according to Nelson, is an
"Edgar Bergen-Charlie McCarthy act." Nelson said
he and the governor will continually exchange
points of view and explore all policy options available.
Nelson presently is Wyoming Gov. Ed Herschler'?
administrative assistant. Although fulfilling approx
imately the same role, the title is different because
the governments are different, according to Nebon.
The Wyoming government is physically and socially
different from its Nebraska counterpart, Nelson
said. The Wyoming gubernatorial staff is smaller, so
the governor is really his own chief of staff. Nelson
said he will have to adapt to different issues
Nebraska has no coal and little oil or gas, while in
Wyoming, agriculture issues do not weigh as heavily.
Alonij with his duties as Chief of Staff, Nelson will
work part-time in the Community Resource and
Research Center of the College of Architecture at
UNL Again, details have not been worked out, but
Nelson said there were a number of things he and
the faculty had been interested in before he moved
to Wyoming.
Nelson commented on the identical quality pos
sessed by Exon, Herschler and Kerrey. "All three
have a common thread. They're transparent what
you see i3 what you get. They tell you exactly what
they feel."
Nelson said Exon and Herschler "could almost be
brothers." He compared the men's similar back
grounds growing up during the depression and
World War II and personalities, saying when dis
. cussing policy, they could be both charming and
cantankerous in the space of ten minutes.
Kerrey is the product of a different generation,
Nelson said, one of the reasons he was attracted to
the job. "Gov. Kerrey grew up in the same generation
I did. It will be interesting to see how this translates."
"My only commitment is to do a good job for the
governor," he said. On all occasions, he ha3 offered
hi3 resignation at the end of a governor's term "so
the governor is not tied down."
Until he received news of the appointment, Nel
son was planning to find a job in the private sector
at the end of Herschler's term. Eventually, he said,
he will make the leap back to the private sector,
although he has learned "never to say never" regard
ing political matters.
Nelson, 40, spent 18 years of his life in Florida and
received his law degree from Florida State, but he
considers the Midwest home.
"My sister married a man from Hastings and lives
in Kansas." Nelson said. "I felt like I almost grew up
in Salina."
March of Dimes walkers raise bucks
The Cornhusker chap
ter of the March of Dimes

ica Saturday, drawing
more than 500 partici
pants. March of Dimes execu

Former Nebraska quar
terback Turner Gill was
celebrity host at Walk
America. He walked to
the first checkpoint Sat
urday morning and
encouraged other walkers,
said Denise Glissman,
promotion chairwoman.
Glissman said March of
Dimes officials were
pleased with the walk's
efficiency and with the
28 teams that walked.
Executive director Kin
naman said other major
fund raising events also
take place in Lincoln.
In January, Lincoln
families go from house to
house collecting money
in the "Mothers March,"
which raised $18,000 last
year, Kinnarnan said.
The March of Dimes
Telethon will be June 30
and July 1. Kinnarnan said
the telethon raised $5,000
last year and she said she
hopes for $10,000 this
year. Omaha's W'OWT, and
Hastings' KHAK KHAF,
will telecast the telethon.
Kinnarnan said local busi
nesses and companies are
raising money in p re
telethon events. If they
raise a certain amount of
money, they will appear
on the telethon, she said.
The 'Reading Olympics"
takes place at area ele
mentary schools in the
winter. Kinnarnan said
children raise money for
every book they read. Last
year the "Reading Olym
pics" raised $5,000, she
said. , . ; , .
The March of Dimes also
has smaller activities con
tinuously going on to raise
funds in Lincoln, Kinna
rnan said.
Funds raised go back
into the community to
fight birth defects, Kin
narnan said. The March
of Dimes funds grants re
quested by people inter
ested or involved with
birth defects.
