Democratic Sen. James Exon
supports Walter Mondale for
president. And Ronald Reagan.
Both of them. And neither of
them.
Exon told an audience in the
Nebraska Union Monday that he
will not automatically endorse
either candidate's policies in the
interest of partisan politics. Exon
must defeat NU Regent Nancy
Hoch to regain his seat in the
senate.
He stressed his commitment to
non-partisanship throughout the
30-minute question-and-answer
session. One member of the
audience applauded when some
one asked Exon about his com
mitment to Mondale. The senator
responded:
"Go ahead and applaud if you
want I've tried to keep this as
non-partisan as possible. I know
there's a lot ofvindietiveness here.
But I'm not here to embarrass

Mary was an abused wifa Her

to ldll her. After three years of
marriage, she finally divorced him.
That wb in 1S32. But until five
wecls ego her es-husband re
mained a threat her life.
"He'd come over at 2 am. or 3
a.m." she said. "Whenever he felt
like it."
Mary (who asked that her real
name net be used) didn't have

you.
That out of the way, Exon began
to outline the differences and
similarities between himself, Mon
dale and Reagan.
Exon said he supports Mon
dale as he has supported every
Democratic candidate in recent
history. But he has trouble sup
porting many of Mondale's defense
policies.
Mondale has the right idea on
how to keep America safe, Exon
said, but some of the candidate's
specific positions aren't good.
Exon said he does not support
the nuclear freeze.
"I think that it would undercut
the president of the United States
in dealing with the Soviet Union,"
Exon said. "A nuclear arms build
down would be a significant step
back from the Constitution which
says that the president shall lead
foreign policy."
The Central Intelligence Agen
cy's "secret war against Nicara
gua" drew Exon's fire.

"If I didnt let him in, he'd kick

to "see Junior.'"

"Every country on this earth is
not going to be patterned after
the U.S.," Exon said. "The real
problem there is the benign neg
lect we have given them."
As soon as the United States
realizes that lack of education, a
decent diet and a free govern
ment are the real problems fac
ing Central American countries,
Exon said, then the United States
can begin to help.
"We have a better chance at
stopping Communism if we can
stop the root causes," Exon said.
Exon separated himself from
Mondale by not supporting the
former vice president's proposed
tax increase. He agreed with a
questioner that the proposal will
network.
He said that only a freeze on
government spending and a bal
anced budget amendment will
bring the country's deficit under

Friendship Home.
FriendsMp "Hans. is an
independent, prr.T.te, non-proilt
orsanizaticn that serves as an
emergency shelter for abused
women and their children.
Friendship Heme opened in
December 1978 as a joint project
cf Lincoln's Catholic Social Servi
ces and Daughters cf Charity. At
the time, the hcrr.e was a shelter
for a wide variety cf clients.
Since then, Friendship Home
has grown, and new is a shelter
exclusively for abused women and

chance to catch up."

tee meetings during his last 69

campaign.
As a department of the univer
sity, the food service has a break
even goal each year, he said.
"In 1933-84, we lost $8,000,"
Pushcar said
Still, the Union Food Service
provides jobs for about 150 stu
dents. Those students earned a
total of about $550,000 last year,
Pushcar said.
The unions also employ about
60 full-time food service em
ployees. The food service includes five
eating places in both unions, and
also provides a catering service
that Pushcar called the biggest
& Lincoln."
The unions cater for almost
every dinner at the state Capitol,
Pushcar said, and for many ban
quets at Sheldon Memorial Art
Gallery.
"WeVe also catered weddings,
barmitzvahs and even a funeral,"
he said.
Pushcar said he thinks the food
prices at the unions are reasona
ble. But, he said, customers who
eat at catered dinners may not

receive clients 21 hours a dry.
The home has IS beds and three
cribs, and welcomes clients until

Exon defended himself by say
ing that Hoch's figures were not
accurate. He said that if he missed
meetings, it was because his work
load was burdensome.

find the prices so reasonable. The
minimum charge for state dinners
is $18.50 per person. For dinners
at Sheldon, the minimum charge
is $12.50. Pushcar said there is a
good reason for the prices.
"We think we're the best," he
said.
The union catering service
doesn't compete actively with
other businesses or advertise,
Pushcar said.
UNL students dont see
the catering end of the business.
But may students do eat in the
unions. Pushcar estimated 4,500
students buy something each day
at one of the Nebraska Union's
eating places. Daily sales in those
establish ments total about $4,500,
he said.
That translates to a lot of food
each day. Pushcar said the Union
Square restaurant uses about 500
pounds of hamburger and 250
pounds of french fries every day.
On the whole, union outlets serve
20 gallons of soup, 15 gallons of
chili, 80 gallons of ccflee and
2,000 Coca-Colas daily.
