Imagine yourself for a moment in this situation. It's
the end of the semester and you rcsliie you will finally
be able to graduate in another year. ,
Then you get a phone call from Sen. Ed Zorinsky, ask
ing you if you would like to come to Washington D.C. to
work for him.
What do you say then?
For UNL student Kent Wolgamott, "yes" was an easy
answer. The political science and geography major had
campaigned actively for Zorinsky in the fall of 1976, and
a chance to work closely with Zorinsky in Washington
seemed a good way to increase his knowledge about the
Early-bird voters
get free soft drink
from JULIUS
By Getsis Ammons
Students from Cather-Pound residence halls received a
free soft drink at the halls' snack bar for voting in Wed
nesday's ASUN election.
Signs posted in the halls stated that the first 333
persons who went through the dinner line and proved
they voted received a ticket for a free drink.
The drink offer was originated and funded by JULIUS,
the Cather-Pound government, said Wendy Buettow,
JULIUS president. She said Alan Nelson, JULIUS re
presentative from Cather 6th floor, presented the idea
at Monday's JULIUS meeting.
The offer is "just to get people from residence halls
out to the polls, Buettow said Tuesday. She emphasized
that they did not back any particular candidates.
Nelson, who helped to develop the plan, said residents
were checked while going through the meal line for the
hand stamp which indicated they had voted.
He said he also checked their meal ticket numbers for
proof that they live in Cather or Pound and issued tickets
at that time.
Past experience
Nelson said he presented the plan because "past ex
perience has shown that few residence hall people vote
in the election."
Also, he said, he thought the offer might have offset
some of the votes created by a list of Greek candidates
which was distributed to fraternities and sororities before
the scheduled March 16 election.
"Even though the Greeks said they had no slate, they
did come up with that Greek list," he said. Tm really
not hot on the idea of them taking the election by those
means."
Nelson said he got the project approved by the snack
bar manager before he presented the plan. He added that
he also spoke to a member of the UNL Student Court to
assure the legality of the offer.
"I didn't want any other factions screaming that we
did this illegally," he said.
Nellie Hosic, UNL administrative assistant for food
service, said she thinks the plan is legal. Hosic is supervisor
of all UNL snack bars.
All would benefit
"We wouldnt be violating any rules or be unfair to any
candidates, because all of them would benefit," she said.
; Although the JULIUS council voted against the plan,
Nelson sad its executive board Will allocate $50 to pay
for the drinks.
Nelson explained that the JULIUS executive board can
spend up to $50 without council approval.
The money came from a JULIUS contingency fund,
he said. The UNL housing office allocates a certain.,
amount of money each year to UNL residence hall govern
ments. Nelson said the drinks' were given on a first come basis.
However, he said Tuesday, I d be surprised and happy
if we have to turn people away, because that means a lot
of people will have voted."

legislative system. Instead of returning to school in
January, Wcsmott joined the Washirton political scene.
Much of the work he docs, Wolgsmott said comes
directly from Zorinrky. For instance, if the senator wants
to learn more about a certain bill, Wolgamott said, he
researches it for Zorinsky. Wolgamott also said he works
with the Senate, the press and helps answer mail.
Despite having to commute to work and the long hours
(he often works from 8:30 am. to 7 p.m.), Wolgamott
said he really enjoys his job.
Washington has impressed him as a "very fast-paced,
politically-oriented" city, he added.
Wolgamott spoke of his admiration for Zorinsky,
"He runs a very open office. Anyone on the staff can
go in and talk to him any time he's free. He literally has
no door on his office. Some people have said it's just
show, but it's not," Wolgamott said.
He also spoke about the prestige of his job.
"I can see how someone could get an inflated sense of
self and self-importance, but that's not why I'm here. I'm
here to represent Zorinsky, to help him represent the
people of Nebraska.
I feel when' you take that attitude (inflated sense of
self) you lose contact with the people you're here to
serve."
Wofeamott's decision to go to Washington may have
changed his life. He said he would like to work for
Zorinsky for about a year before returning to school.
After graduation, he said, he hopes to return to work in
the nation's capital.
For those interested in politics, he said, the chance to
learn legislative process from a first-hand viewpoint is an
interesting and intricate experience.
However, he said he would not encourage everyone to
apply for work in Washington because the number of jobs
is limited.
About his own experience, Wolgamott said, "I think
this is really a great opportunity and I'm really thankful I
got the chance to come out nd be a part of it."
Advertiser says field toughens
By Murine Kubksk
Working in the advertising field is like playing in a
ball game where the rules become tougher aU the time,"
advertiser Sidney Bernstein said Wednesday.
Increasing governmental restrictions and a trend away
from a consumer-oriented society have changed the dir
ection of advertising during the 50 years Bernstein has
been in the business, he said. He added that advertising
seems to be more sensitive to economics in consumption.
Bernstein, editor of Advertising Age, an advertising
trade publication, was at UNL April 1 1 through 13 as a
participant in the UNL School of Journalism's Editors-in-Residence
program. He is chairman of the executive
committee for Crain Communication Inc. of Chicago and
was named Communicator of the Year by the University
of Chicago Alumni Association in 1975.
Too many advertising students see -the advertising
agency as the total job market, he said. While the volume
of business done by agencies is not declining, the job
market within the agencies is. The advertising agencies
represent about one-tenth of the total advertising job mar
ket, he said.
Ten years ago, an agency would employ 10 people
for $1 million worth of advertising done," he said. To
day that figure is four people, and soon it will be thrce.
There are jobs with much more potential available which
should not be overlooked."

Bernstein said alternatives to advertising agency employ
ment are the advertising depts. of retail stores and media
advertising depts. in newspapers, radio and television.
Advertising is not the "all-powerful" force most people
believe it to be, he said.
"You can only get people to do what they sort of want
to do anyway," he said. "Advertising must travel in the
mainstream of public opinion and taste; it's hard to buck
the trends,"
Bernstein cited the advertising campaign to promote
the wearing of seatbelts as a basically ineffective effort.
Less than 50 per cent of available seatbelts are used
following the campaign, he said.
A successful advertiser needs to have an interesting
awareness and a built in psychological ability to mesh,"
he said. Some basic natural ability is necessary, but Bern
stein said a great deal of learning is equally important.
