Edward Zcrinsky, eanaigning in
Lincoln Thursday, said a federal bureaucracy that frustrat
ed him as mayor, and the "Potomac Fever" that has
struck Vashington, haw encouraged hrn to seek the job
as "Nebraska's salesman in the Senate,"
Zorinsky, who changed his party afiSiatfon from Re
publican to Democrat, is running against another Omahen,
US. Rep. John Y. IfcCcSister, for the Senate seat being
located by Reman Ilruska.
"My goal is to decrease the bnreaucracy of the federal
government and to allow the businesses and farms of this
nation to pursue their own way of life," Zoriady said.
This country was founded by people helping people and
neither helping nerlhor, cot by the federal government
trying to run things."

Doctoral candidates carrying six hours of classes and
working full-time on research are no longer eligible to re
ceive Nebraska football tickets.
Before this year, a Hi J), candidate received a card
signed both by the student's research adviser and the
graduate school dean stating that even though the stadent
was not carrying cine hours of classes, he was working
full-time on research and therefore eligible for a ticket.
Gerry Egan is one of at least 50 students affected by
the change in policy. ;
Egan, who has attended UNL since 1962, sail he felt
he was just as much of a student as anyone else and
should get a football ticket. . -
. , Henry Holtzclaw, newly appointed dean of
studies, said the graduate school found out by aecifent
that the Athletic Dept. was cot honoring the cards.
Koltzciaw said 50 Mdssts complained about tLz matter .
to Interim Dean Larry Andrews, cow associate dean of
the graduate schooL
Andrews wrote a letter to UNL Athletic Director Bob
Devaney on Sept. 1, requesting information on the
change. Andrews receded a reply Sept. 10, which said the
Athletic Dept. will cot issue tickets to graduate students
carrying less than rrfne hours of classes and they wi2 co
longer honor the cards.
There are approximately 3,500 graduate students at
UNL. Most of them cany nine hours or more and are cot
affected by the ruling Holtzdny sail.
Egan sail he is concerned that graduate assistant and
FhJ). candidate tickets are being sold to the general
public. Egan said he does cot think a crackdown of gradu
ate school students is fan7 this late in the gams.
Iloltzclaw said the graduate school is continuing to
grsne out the cards even though they arenlt being honored.
Egan said he wO bring the matter before the Council
cn Student Life at its Sept. 23 meeting.
"I have experienced a high degree of frustration be
cause I was responsible to the people at the ballet box,
but I wasn't runnrrg the city-the federal government
was," he said.
Endorsed by Gov. J. James Exon and the AFLCIO,
Zcrinsky denied reports that the Senate race w3 pit
Zcrinsky and labor against lleCcIIister and farmers.
Zcrinsky called himself an independent thinker and
said he "won't be influenced by special groups or lolby
fcts." , ..; ,
"I don't Eke the Potomac Fever that keeps 'of&dsls -attending
embassy parties and meeting ambassadors," he
Zcrinsky took the door off the mayor's office his first
day on the jsb in Omaha, and said he plans the same
approach to the Senate job.

"The office isn't mine, it belongs to the people," he
said. The Senate cfUce belongs to the people of Ne
braska, and I need to involve the grassroots people."
Zorinksy said he plans to use his influence in the
Senate to change votes, rather than vote for change.
"UnEke the representative we've had in office (Mc
CcHister), who says, 'Look at my voting record, I voted
for you,' I feel that I can be on the winning side," he said.
"McCoHistcr has been on the losing sMe, but I want to be
the emissary from Nebraska." -
Zorinsky said he plans to bring other senators back to
Nebraska on weekends to visit and stay at cattle ranches
and "see Nebraskaris problems.
T"hen th.; seactor across the aisle gets ready to vote,
he doesn't have to take my word for it," Zorinsky said.
"KeH know the problems of Nebraska because he's seen
" ' Zetirky; he hopes to take weekend excursions '
with other senators to become more familiar with national
problems. ; v'X" -. "- "
Currently leading the metropolitan vote, according to
recent polls, Zorinsky said the outstafe, Lincoln and stu
- dent votes "verycriticaL"
"The student vote isn't as large as it should be," he
said. "There should be a concerted effort to register stu
cent voters, regardless of who they vote for."
"Statistics &ow that the younger people want to
vste " he said. Tut they don't exerciae that privilege."
Commenting on his change in party sifZiatbn,
Zcrinsky said there is "good and bad in both platforms."
Zorinsky complimented Omchans on the first two
weeks of court-ordered busing to achieve racial integration
n the city, but said he i3gamst forced busing. .
1 would support a desegregated neighborhood and
equal opportunity in business, rather than busing," he
said. It's c!IGsu!t to accept a judicial mandate that
causes kids to fcara an hour-long bus ride every day."
