Bercy, Pals both want
to take incumbent's seat
- Both Democratic senatorial can
didates Donald Bercy End Marlin
Pab ere funding their own cam
paigns, and they both want to replace
Congressman Douglas Bereuter. But
for different reasons.
Describing himself as Jhe "popu
list candidate" Bercy, 55, said
because the Reagan administration's
philosophy of economic recovery
benefits big business, "the little guy
is not properly represented by the
man in congress."
Besides the lack of representation
by Ilereuter and the rest of con
gress, he said there are three major
problems the government needs to
solve. First, the fear the "little gu
has about losing hi3 house or job
must be eliminated.
Second, the government and banks
need to decrease spending and bor
rowing they do to end high interest
rates. Third, the government needs
to quit "putting on a show for the
rest of the world," in order to retain
a superpower image which gives the '
U.S. citizens a "false pride."
Bercy, a used car salesman, said
he has been involved in political
activity in three states, including
Wisconsin, New York and Connecti
cut, where he was a delegate to the
state convention. In Nebraska, Bercy
ran for mayor last year, receiving
nine votes.
"Non-policic3" in arxiculture sucli
as the Payment-In-Kind or a "real"
full employment policy need to be
developed, Pah said, "but Reagan
has made it a travesty by cutting
back on those programs." Because
his name is widely recognized in
Lincoln, Pals said he doesn't need to
spend any money publicising his
campaign. Aside from various civil
rights organizations, Pals was involv
ed with Justice Inc. in thi early
1970s, a service that provided legal
assistance to indigents and also
Housing Help Inc. in which he helped
collect funds for an apartment com
plex for minorities at 23rd and Y
street.
"I would be more respondent to
the needs and desires of everyday
people because I am one of them,"
Bercy said.
Pals, however, felt Bereuter is
"treating Nebraska like a dog, throw
ing the people bones to keep them
happy" by making claims that he
would "make sure Nebraska gets its
chare," of government money.
Pals said one of the reasons he
decided to run involved the empha
sis Reagan is giving his warmaking
policies. "The Reagan camp wants' to
undo 200 years of work to make this
country a success," he said. "I didnt
want to sit back and watch."
Bauer challenges Bereuter
By Terry Hylsnd
Preserving the family farm and
representing the farmer as a con
cerned advocate are the main goals
of Monica Bauer, a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Nebras
ka's 1st District seat in the House of
Representatives. The winner will face
Rep. Douglas Bereuter, a Republi
can, in the November general elect
ion. Bauer, a 30-year-old ordained min
ister from Crete, said she is running
for the congressional post because
the farmer and the small agricultu
ral business man "need someone to
stand up for them."
"Mr. Bereuter has done very little,"
she said. "The Republican Party
has nothing to offer them (the farm
ers) except more bankrupticies.
They have no coherent farm policy
that's geared to the family-sized pro
ducer." She said change will not occur
while the Republicans allow small
farms to collapse and corporate
takeovers of farmland to continue.
However, Bauer said, the people of
Nebraska are ready for a candidate
that will halt that trend.
One of Bauer's plans for farm aid
involves financial support for new
farmers. If elected, she said she
would propose a national direct
new farmers loan program modeled
after present student loan pro
grams. Under the plan, money would
be loaned to young people so they
could enter the farming industry.
Bauer, an Omaha native, has a
bachelor's degree in history from
Brovn University and master's de
gree in divinity from Yale University.
She was ordained a minister of the
United Church of Christ in 1982 and
is now the pastor at the Plymouth
Congregational Church of.Christ in
Crete.

"Many of the applicants
are people who were active
in student government or
were student assistants,"
Zatechka said.
lie said most applicants
have completed their mas-,
ter's degree in behavior
ial science and have held
. some semi-professional
positions such as gradu
ate assistants or assist
ant residence directors.
"The master's is nice,
but the work experience
is equally important,"
Zatechka said.
Though she did not
have her master's degree,
Michele Cole, Smith HaU
residence director, said
her degree in social ser
vices and her experience
as a student assistant help
ed her meet the criteria
to be hired as an RD three
years ago. Cole said it
took more than 12 hours
to complete her inter
views, but described the
day-long process as "a lot
of fun" and "interesting"
because of the staff mem
bers and student govern
ment representatives she
met
"It offered an oppor
tunity to meet with every
one" she said.
Because she lives in the
residence halls, Cole said
the only disadvantages of
her job is that she is on
call 24 hours a day and
her personal life is so vis
ible to the students that
they "know everything."
Cole said she likes to
watch the students pro
gress. "I get to grow with 500
students," she said.
Though she described
her job as a "positive ex
perience," Cole said she
will pursue her master's
degree in gerontology,
rather than return as res
idence director.
Cole said she still will
work closely with stu
dents, however, as the new
manager of contracts and
financial services.
