His experiences campaigning have led
Donaldson to propose a candidates' union
"to guarantee minumum wages and
working conditions and to prevent candi
dateV from working each other to the point
of becoming walking zombies." Donaldson
said he has found that "the political
process exhausts clever young men who
want to make changes in the American
system. It is set up for incredible politi
cal stability."
Donaldson graduated from UNL in
1970 with a major in political science.
While at UNL, 'he participated in the
planning for Centennial College and
helped organized the eighth floor of Harper
Hall as a residence for Regents scholars.
Donaldson has served as a citizen
volunteer in the planning and streamlining
of electrical usuage for the Lincoln Electri
cal System. He also has served on the
Lincoln Goals and Policies Committee and
as a woncer m political campaigns.

to 12 percent last week) and inflation
(from 11V4 percent ot 12'$ percent in Jan

"Now we are at the point where young
couples are able to think realistically
about a home mortgage," Bereuter said in

Wrieht Morris, a Nebraska-born nnwli Ct hoc ku
f "v iiua ivvil
named the winner of the annual Commonwealth Award
for Distinguished Service in Literature.
Morris is the most distinguished Nebraska novelist now
writing, said Robert Knoll, a" UNL English professor.
Knoll said Morris is among the top four novelists from
Nebraska, a list that includes Willa Cather, Marie Sandoz
and John Neihardt.
"He has produced one first-class book after another,"
NSO is still looking
for '83 student hosts
Applications for New Student Orientation hosts will
be accepted until Dec. 3. The hosts introduce new stu
dents and their parents to campus life through tours of
the campus and programs on university life.
Fifteen students are chosen" out of about 100 appli
cants through a careful screening process, Sandi Rhoten,
NSO coordinator said.
Applicants must enjoy working with people, Rhoten
said, be undergraduate students and have leadership skills.
Mark Davidson, a UNL junior and a former NSO host,
represented the College of Engineering and Technology.
He said being a host was an excellent experience for
him because he learned communication skills and idea
projection, and developed a sense of pride for UNL.
Hosts are chosen to represent both UNL as a whole and
the colleges within it, Rhoten said. She said NSO hopes to
pick hosts from each college. If there are no qualified
applicants from a college, however, a student from
another college will be chosen.
"Our first criteria is to get the best student hosts for
NSO,M she said.
New hosts are to begin their training next semester,
meeting every Thursday. They learn about UNL, and the
university's separate colleges, financial aid and public
speaking. Faculty members help to train the hosts, she
said.
The training takes a lot of time, Davidson said, but is
worth it. He said he would recommend the job to anyone
who has the time to offer NSO. The pay probably isn't as
good as some jobs, he said, but it's worth the time to
develop communication skills and to help new students.
Summer orientation is. the major job of the hosts. It
occurs during the first five week summer session. Students
receive $650 plus room and board for being hosts. A week
before summer orientation begins, the hosts undergo an
intense training session.
The hosts are not trying to sell UNL to the students,
Rhoten said, since they have already decided to attend
UNL. ' Rather, the hosts try to help the new students
understand the university system.
New students are receptive to student hosts, Rhoten
suid, because the hosts have experience as UNL students.
She said that NSO believes the student hosts are the best
way to help new students.

said Wayne Booth, a member of the jury of literary
scholars who chose the winner.
Morris has never had a best seller or the attention he
deserves, Booth said.
"I think Morris holds a place of permanent importance
and unquestionable stature in the literary world," Booth
said.
Morris, now in his late 60s, has produced first-rate
novels since 1940, Knoll said, achieving a remarkable
example of sustained work lasting more than 40 years.
Morris has written 20 novels, two volumes of short
stories and four collections of essays. Recently he wrote
"Plains Song" (1980), a novel that won an American
Book Award, and "Will's Boy" (1981), the first volume
about his childhood days in Nebraska. Both were pub
lished by Harper & Row.
Several years ago the University of Nebraska Press
began to reissue in paperback all of Morris's books not
in print elsewhere, including 'The Field of Vision,"
which won the National Book Award in 1957.
The Commonwealth award includes a stipend of
$14,000, and was established by the Commonwealth
trust. It was founded by Ralph Hayes, a prominent Dela
ware businessman who died in 1977.
