Chambers says racists oppose D. C. representation
By Barb Richardson
and Gordon Johnson
Many people and senator! in Nebraska are racists,
according to State Sen. Ernie Chambers, and that is the
reason an amendment giving the District of Columbia
representation In Congress is not supported by most state
senators,
The Nebraska resolution, LR 30, rejects a proposed
amendment to the U.S. Constitution allowing the District
of Columbia voting representation in Congress. The
proposed amendment, giving the district two senators and
at least one representative in Congress, passed Congress
Aug. 22, 1978. Thirty -eight states must ratify the
resolution before 1985.
According to Sen. Rex Haberman, Nebraska Sens. Ed
Zorinsky and James Exon and Reps. Virginia Smith and
Doug Bereuter are against giving the district
representation. Rep. John Cavanaugh favors the
amendment,
States ratifying the amendment include New Jersey,
Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachusetts and
Connecticut. New Mexico and Idaho passed resolutions
rejecting the amendment.
Haberman Introduced LR 3D with the signatures of 30
senators in March 1979, The resolution was referred to
the Government, Military and Veterans' Affairs
Committee on May 21 for a public hearing, which was
Friday,
Sen. Dave Landls of Lincoln, agrees with Chambers,
saying that Nebraskans are against the amendment
because the district has a large population of black
democrats.
Sen. Don DworaK of Columbus said that nine out of 10
people in the district are democrats, ft is the only area
that George McGovern carried in the 1972 presidential
election,
"IF THIS AREA were outside Arizona and populated
by very conservative people, people would be lining up on
different sides' Landis said.
"My primary objection Is that some people in Nebraska
are saying let's put these people in their place," Chambers
said.
' "Racism is worse in this state than its probably ever
been," Chambers said. Federal lawsuits against police
departments, Are departments and the Omaha school
district are examples of the racism, he said.
"I see the largest university of the state practicing
racism," Chambers said. He added that UNL's football
program, cheerleadlng and administration are examples of
the university's racist nature because the programs
dehumanize people.
"1 believe without any doubt in my mind that racism is
behind this opposition," Chambers said.
Dworak said he opposed the constitutional amendment
because it gives the district similar rights as states without
making it a state.
"CONGRESS HAS feathered a nest for themselves," he
said. Congress wants to give the district representation,
but does not want to make it a state because Congress will
lose some of their power, Dworak said .
"I am opposed to the amendment, but we want to send
a message to the Potomac loud and clear," Dworak said.
Sen. Vard Johnson of Omaha questioned the need to
address the issue now because the Legislature has until
1985 to decide on the Amendment.
Sen, Shirley Marsh of Lincoln, also said that there is
time to look at the amendment. She added that more
research should be done on it.
However, Haberman said he wants the issue to be
decided soon because it is an issue that he campaigned on,
"I DONT WANT Nebraska to be caught in the same
position it was caught in several years back in the equal
rights amendment," Sen. Orval Keyes of Springfield said.

Husker JVs top Jayhawks
Ricky Simmons returned the opening
kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown to spark
the Nebraska junior varsity to a 17-8
victory over the Kansas reserves Friday
afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
Nebraska, which led 15-0 at the half,
also scored on a two-yard run by I-back
Dennis Rogan in the first quarter. The
extra point attempt after both touchdowns
failed. Just three seconds into the second
quarter Mark Hagerman kicked a 27-yard
field goal to end the Huskers offensive
scoring for the contest.
Kansas sliced the NU lead in the third
quarter on a 15 -yard pass from quarterback
Steve Smith to Skip Holmes. Smith also
ran for the two point conversion to put KU
within reach of a victory.
However, the Husker defense, which
swarmed the Jayhawk offense for most of
the afternoon, gave Nebraska a more
comfortable lead when defensive end Todd
Spratte slammed Into Smith and pulled
him down for a safety. N
The Nebraska defense so bothered
Kansas In the second half that the
Jayhawks had a net loss of 23 yards and
had only two first downs. KU also punted
11 tines In the contest.
For the afternoon, Kansas had only 1 1 5
yards of total offense, 90 through the air
and 25 on the ground.

down in the second half, had 133 yards
rushing and 108 passing. The Huskers
fumbled nine times and lost It six times,
including three in the final three minutes.
Roger Craig had accounted for most of
NU's yardage with 105 yards on 16 carries.
Doug Wilkening finished with 32 yards on
five carries.
Quarterback Nate Mason completed
only two passes in five tries but they went
for 44 yards to Tim AJberico and 64 yards
to Tony Ochsner.
First-year freshman coach Frank Solich
was pleased with the defensive play of the
Huskers and the fact that his team, with
only one non-freshman, played well against
a group of upperclassmen.
The Kansas roster consisted of 31
non-freshman of the 54 who suited up. On
offense Kansas started two seniors and
three Juniors, while the defense Included
four sophomores and a junior.
Nebraska, now 3-0 on the season, next
travels to Missouri on Nov. 2. The junior
varsity closes out the season Nov. 9 at

He said he was worried that if the Legislature made a
decision now, it might not be able to change Its decision if
senators changed their minds.
Virginia Luke, representing the League of Women
Voters of Nebraska, said that Washington, D.C. residents
are taxed and should be given the right to vote,
"They pay more federal taxes than 1 1 states," she said.
"They pay higher per capita federal taxes than all but
Alaska."
"And a fact that concerns many, we know the
representatives of the District of Columbia are not always
going to vote the way we would like. But even our own
Nebraska representatives often don't vote together on an
issue so why should we expect otherwise from D.C?" she
asked. '
Luke said that she thinks that Congress does not want
to make the district a state because it will lose some of its
power in the area.
'The real issue is that there are still people that will
want to dominate over the people in D.C," Chambers
said.
