Exon wants committee despite Zorinsky indecision
friday, december 8, 1978
By L. Kent Wolgamott
Nebraska's Sen .-elect Gov. J. James
Exon has made the Senate Agriculture
Committee his first choice for committee
assignment even though his senior
colleague, Sen. Edward Zorinsky has not
yet decided whether he will give up his
seat on that committee to allow Exon to
serve, Exon said Thursday night.
Exon, interviewed on Nebraska Educa
tional Television's Dateline Nebraska, said
his choices for committee assignments
are 1) Agriculture; 2) Appropriations or
Budget; 3) Armed Services and 4) Govern
ment Operations.
Earlier this year, Zorinsky had said he
would give up his seat on the Agriculture
Committee to allow Exon to serve, but
since then Zorinsky has risen to be the
fourth ranked Democrat on the committee
because of deaths, retirements and failures
to gain re-election, giving him a subcom
mittee chairmanship.
Exon said he and Zorinsky have
discussed the matter two or three times
and will meet again to discuss it. He said
Zorinsky suggested that he proceed with
applying for the Agriculture Committee
because "there is a good chance 1 can
secure that position."
"There is a possibility that even two
senators of the same political party can
serve, but its at best a long shot," Exon
said.
He said his priorities for work in the
Senate include agriculture, serving as an
ombudsman for the state, working to
reduce excessive federal spending and re
organizing the bureaucracy.
Exon said he told Gov.-elect Charles
Thone, "The first thing I would suggest
you do Charley, is get into the state
budget. The budget is the biggest job
the governor has to do every year."
He said Thone will have a difficult
time preparing his budget because the
Legislature passed a bill over his veto
which moved the deadline when the
governor must submit his budget up to
Feb. 1, giving Thone a shorter time to
prepare the budget.
Exon also said "what Gov. Thone is
going to have to do is oppose intrusion
of the lesislative branch on the (govern
or's) chair. Hopefully, the pledge he made
in his campaign will work out and hope
fully he will work with the majority of
registered Republicans in our nonpartisan
Republican legislature better than 1 did."
Looking back on his eight years as
governor, Exon said he was "progressive,
while keeping a tight rein on expenditures"
and that he would have liked to have done
more about the state's water problems.

'Home ec flasher'
up to old tricks
Last year, a man plagued students in
the Home Economics Building on East
Campus by exposing himself on several
occasions. Now, University Police say,
the same man apparently is at it again.
Students reported that last week, a
man exposed himself in the lower level
hallway of the Home Economics Building.
The man was described as about five feet
nine inches, with brown hair, slender
build, and wearing a dark blue ski jacket
and green khaki pants. That description
is similar to the man who did the same
thing last year, and according to University
Police, the way in which he commits the
crime is similar.
"He walks by offices and classrooms
with people in them and exposes him
self," said Sgt. Joe Wehner. "He has struck
several times now."
The man is believed to be 30 to 35
years old. Police still are investigating.
