Editor's Note This is the first of the pro
files on the three candidates for a Nebraska
U.S. Senate seat. Profiles on Edward Zor
insky and Jim Keck will appear in Thurs
day's Daily Nebraskan.
Virginia Walsh said she entered the U.S.
Senate race because her opponents, incum
bent Edward Zorinsky and Jim Keck, are
so much alike.
"Both parties have produced candidates
who support Reaganomics," -she said.
She charged that the present admini
stration has transferred social spending into
the arms race, when the Defense Depart
ment's present $231 billion budget is
straining U.S. resources.
"I propose that that figure is $30 billion
too high," she said. "We're impoverishing
our economy in the human sphere in order
to enrich our military program."
She noted that the increased military
outlays burden the economy,
"We don't have affordable credit and
affordable energy because of it," she said.
Farmers, the young, women and blacks
are most hurt by tight credit, Walsh said.
She- noted that large corporations can
handle their credit problems better than
small businesses.
Walsh said the student loan program has
been very successful, and budget reduc
tions for it have been short-sighted:
"It has proved to be a means of upward
mobility," she said.
Walsh 'favors a nuclear freeze.
"I think that the American people want
to send a message of peace loving," she
said. "We can only solve international
conflicts through political means."
Walsh said Reagan's political philo
sophy prevents him from helping farmers.
. ."Reagan's, policy is primarily one of
ignoring them. When you have the assump-
tion that government should not inter
fer, then you don't solve problems. We are
looking at a fall when we will once again
have wheat piled by the railroad tracks."
Walsh said the way that the present ad
ministration's land seWide policy is or
ganized, surpluses won't really be reduced.
She noted that the usual approach to
Calendar features
men of Nebraska
By Melissa Durdevy" - - t
Most see former UNL football quarterback Mark Mauer
in shoulder pads butting heads on the football field. The
David Buntain family of Lincoln, who have known
Mauer for six years, sees him differently - in a three
piece suit.
Mauer is just one of the 12 men in the 1983 Nebraska
Men calendar, produced by the Buntain family's BALD
productions.
The name BALD Productions was derived from the
first letter in each of the Buntains' first names. The family
consists of David, an attorney at Cline Williams Wright
Johnson & Oldfather; Lucy, a UNL English instructor;
daughter Anne, 18, a UNL freshman; and son Bill, 20,
who is a junior majoring in business administration at
UNL. (He's also featured in the calendar during the month
of September.)
Lucy Buntain began thinking of producing a calendar
after she gave last year's Men of Nebraska calendar to her
daughter.
"When we would go shopping together, Anne and I
would notice good-looking guys," she said. " 'He can be in
my calendar, became an inside mother-daughter joke, but
all along I was formulating ideas for a calendar."
The Buntains are not new to large projects. For the last
five years, Mr. and Mrs. Buntain have produced the annual
Pinewood Bowl summer musical at Pioneers Park. In
August, when Lucy Buntain proposed the calendar idea to
her family, they answered with ideas and the production
began.
Women around campus were asked to list the names of
men they would like to see in the calendar.
"We even had a Valentino's napkin full of names,"
Lucy Buntain said.
Looking through fraternity composites and high school
yearbooks, Lucy and Anne were able to narrow the list
down to 20 and finality 12. They are: Adam Amland,
a sophomore pre-mcdicine major; Roger Craig, a senior
criminal justice major; Tell Draper, a sophomore broad
cast jounrlaism major; Steve Frei, a senior in the NU
College of Law; Scott Howerter, a junior business ad
ministration major; Mauer, a senior physical education
major; Curt McConneU, a senior accounting major; Mike
Patterson, a sophomore pre-dental major; Bill Peartxce, a
sophomore business administration major; Tom Vergjth, a
graduate student in business administration; Matt Wallace,
a junior political science major; and Bill Buntain.
"They were all charmingly surprised when we asked
them to be in the calendar," Lucy Buntain said.
The Buntains had ideas of what they wanted the
calendar to be, she said.
"We didn't want soft porn; we wanted character, per
sonality and taste," Lucy Buntain said.
One photographer suggested a shower-scene phot, and
he and many others were ruled out before photographer
Del Hamilton of Lincoln was chosen for the project. It
took three sessions with Hamilton to decide on the moods
the calendar jwas to capture, and two weeks to take the
pictures.
ending surpluses is to try to expand world
markets as much as possible.
"I have some misgivings about this in
terms of the depletion of our own natural
resources," she said. "When we ship over
seas, we are shipping our soil fertility and'
our water supply overseas."
Walsh said she wants agricultural prices
closer to parity.
This would not only be a government
price-support program, but would force
grain elevators to pay the minimum prices,
she said.
In addition, Walsh said some kind of
limit on production is necessary.
"Many farmers see the situations as so
bad they will accede to a program which
would depend on both limiting production
and providing a better price." Walsh added
that the United States never should have
embargoed grain shipments to the Soviet
Union.
Walsh asked voters to examine
Zorinsky's voting record and see if it is
substantially different from what Keek's
would be.
"Neither one of them is safe enough,
and neither one of them is good enough
to represent Nebraska," Walsh asserted.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Buntain have had journalistic and
layout experience. With the help of an artist who helped
select the type, the calendar was sent to the printers after
two months in production, she said.
BALD Productions wanted a Nebraska-oriented
calendar, not last year's calendar that was produced by
Full Moon Publishing, a national company, Buntain said.
"We wanted to capture the moods and personalities of
our Nebraska men, she said. That is why we were so
careful choosing a photographer and why we selected a
variety of men to represent the university."
Many layout changes were made from last year's
calendar. Advertisements were omitted and important
dates were added to the calendar. It was Anne's idea to
add a descriptive paragraph that accompanies each model.
The Buntains also are going to distribute the .calendars
to stores all across Nebraska instead of just in Lincoln.
Buntain compared the calendar's production to having
a baby in that the family took an idea and watched it
develop.

office, proudly carrying the first of the printed calendars.
