that he still hopes the nomination process will be com
pleted by the regent's Feb. 14 meeting.
"Goodman"
,4Obviously Young is a good man, or we wouldn't have
him on the list," Varner said.
Confronted Thursday afternoon when leaving from the
Lincoln. Municipal Airport, Young chose not to confirm
his candidacy for the position.

accompanied by his wife. "We're just here visiting. . ,
(pause) . . . some people."

Selection Committee Wednesday noon and with several re
gents at Varner 's home that evening.

airport in the afternoon. '

for state primary
"Don't say 'bye to Bayh, because Bayh. . js our kind
of. ..guy."1 - - . .,"
A Nebraska Wesley an University Student Thursday
night sang poetic praise to Indiana senator arid Democrat
ic presidential candidate Birch Bayh, who was in Lincoln
to announce his entrance into the Nebraska Primary.
At the Nebraska Bayh committee sponsored press con
ference and fund-raising party, Bayh defended his anti
busing' views.

other tools more profitable," Bayh said. ,

of incentive to produce integration and a structure to min
imize busing. . V '

Rights Amendment (ERA) and said "it is being out
hustled by the right wing." s
"It has nothing to do with boys and girls going to
the bathroom together," he said. v
As for Nebraska's revocation of the ERA, Bayh said
legal precedent is "rather strong" for the1 upholding of the
amendment. .. . : :' '..'W
In a prepared statement, Bayh said, "I reject the
callous notion of the Nixon and Ford Administrations
that America can stop higher food and fuel prices by
throwing human beings out of work." .
"Two Republican Administrations following deliber-,
ate policy of planned unemployment as the primary
weapon in the fight against Inflation, hive led us through
two recessions and a record inflation," Bay h said.
"Only genius for JneptitudV'iould have produced re- '
cession and inflation together," he added.. "And only an
administration insensitive to hurasn hardship, could con-"
tinut to tolerate both." ---. v, .!
Bayh said his lata entry into the Democratic presiden
tial race hasn't seemed to hart his campaign contributions.
Ha said he has raised mors money in a short teas than
sane candidates have raised in a year.
