A Blair businessman announced Thursday that
he will file for election in May's Republican primary
for the U.S. Senate.
Ken Cameron, a manufacturer's representative
for air conditioning, heating and plumbing equip
ment, made his announcement at the Village Motel
in Lincoln.
Cameron said it is essential for the people of
Nebraska to have a Republican representation in
the Senate to support President Reagan's programs.
He blamed Democrats, including Sen. J. James
Exon, for opposing the president's policies. Exon
currently holds the Senate seat that will be con
tested in the November general election.
"Nebraska is a pivotal state in the upcoming elec
tions, he said. "Nebraskans can help ensure that
Reagan's leadership and direction prevail But that
won't happen if the status quo is allowed to stand
because Jim Exon sits on the wrong side of the aisle
in the Senate and does not give us a strong, depen
dable or influential voice in the affairs of our
nation."

President Reagan violated the U.S. Constitution
and international law when he ordered the Ameri-
can military to invade and occupy Grenada, said a
lawyer for Grenada.
Lennox Hinds Wednesday told about 60 people at-
the College of Law that without public pressure, it
will happen again.
Hinds works for one of several legal groups bring
ing suit on behalf of 11 congressmen who charge
Reagan with violating Article One of the Constitu
tion, which gives war-making authority only to Con
gress. They also charge Reagan with violating the
1973 War Powers Act, which says the president
must get approval from Congress within 60 days of
committing troops.
Hinds said Reagan violated international law
because the United States had signed a mutual self
defense treaty with the Organization of Caribbean
States in 1981. The agreement required that all
members of OECS invite American troops to inter
vene. Hinds said Grenada, a signatory of the treaty,
did. not vote to be invaded by American combat
forces.
An outside force must invade the OECS before the
United States can intervene, Hinds said, and the
Miss America possibility

only outside invading force was the United States
itself. Barbados and Jamaica invited the United
States to intervene, but they are not members of the
OECS, Hinds said.
Although war was not declared, 172 Grenadians,
50 to 70 Cubans and 18 Americans were killed, and
100 Grena&i&Rs, STjCubans and 88 Americans, were
injured, Hind said.
Members of Maurice Bishop's New Jewel Move
ment were kept in "tiger cages" for 24 hours a day on
the beach by American forces, until the Interna
tional Red Cross protested, Hinds said. Half of the
remaining 300 American soldiers still in Grenada
are involved in psychological warfare, contrary to
the Geneva Convention, Hinds said. Pictures of Hud
son Austin and Bernard Coard, leaders of the coup
against Bishop, stripped naked to the waist with the
words, "These individuals tried to steal your govern
ment," above them are examples of this, warfare,
Hinds said. '
While speaking at several universities, Hinds said
he has received lukewarm sympathy. He said he
believes that without public protest against Rea
gan's action, the precedent set by the invasion can
and will be repeated elsewhere.
Hinds said he expects to lose the suit against
Reagan at the federal district court level, but the
suit will be taken to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Cameron said Exon has failed Nebraska farmers
by not opposing programs like the grain embargo on
Russia imposed by former President Jimmy Carter.
That embargo he said, "pulled the marketplace out
from under the farmers."
"I want to find new markets for Nebraska pro
ducts," he said. "Nebraska cant grow (produce)
from fence row to fence row and survive if there's no
market." .
He said the state has to make itself known to other
parts of the country to open new markets for its
product. Cameron said he feels he could direct the
efforts to promote Nebraska goods. Cameron lost in
a bid for the U.S. Senate in 1932, when James Keck
defeated in him in the Republican primary.
Cameron has been active in the state's Republican
party, serving as chairman of the Washington
County Reagan for President campaign in 1976,
1980 and 1984, delegate for Reagan to the Republi
can National Convention in Detroit in 1930, and
Washington County Republican chairman in
1931-1982.
Cameron and his wife, Dorothy, have lived in Blair
for 13 years. They have two children. ,
He joins George Boucher of Ravenna on the
Republican ballot.

Eleven UNL students will compete for the title of
Miss UNL 8 p.m. Saturday in the Centennial Room of
the Nebraska Union. The pageant is a preliminary to
the Miss America contest which takes place annu
ally in Atlantic City, N J.
Miss Nebraska Kristin Lowenberg, who was one of
10 semi-finalists at the 1983 Miss America pageant,
will appear at the UNL pageant.

Sextet will provide music. .
Mike Pearl is coordinator for the pageant, which is
sponsored by the Miss America pageant and the
Miss Nebraska state committee. ,
A non-profit organization, the Miss UNL pageant
raises money by selling programs and tickets at the
door. The money is used to cover the expenses of the
pageant, and any remaining money is used for scho
larships for the top finishers of the pageant. The
amount and the number of scholarships depend on
program and ticket sales.
A panel of five judges will choose the top finishers
in each of the di visions. The divisions include talent,
evening gown and swimsuit.

One year ago Julie Meusberger took her first walk
across the stage as Miss UNL. Saturday night Meus
berger will pass her crown on to a new Miss UNL
Meusberger, a civil engineering junior from
Denver, Colo., said she was not sure why she got
involved in the pageant.
The pageant was a special growing experience
for me with my faith," Meusberger said. "God gave
me the confidence and showed me how to be my
best self and shine in that way."
She said the pageant was a gooa experience
because everyone pulled together and helped each
other out.
The pageant was a special growing experience for
me with my faith," Meusberger said. "God gave me
the confidence, and showed me how to be my best
self and shine in that way."
Meusberger said the pageant is not a competition
between people, because no one can compare peo
ple who are so different. The winner had more of the
qualities that appealed to certain judges on a cer
tain night, she said.
As Miss UNL, Meusberger played the flute at lun
cheons and appeared at several parades through
out the year. She said her main duty was to repres-
ent the university in the Miss Nebraska pageant
Meusberger finished third in the Miss Nebraska
pageant last June in Fremont.
