Tuesday, November 6, 1984 Daily Nebraskan Page 7 M ondale, Reagan . . . Continued from Page 1 Earlier Monday Reagan's ad visers said his double-digit lead in opinion polls made it possible for him to win in most of the 50 states. But they backed away from an earlier prediction that he could carry them all a feat never achieved in a U.S. presidential election. Mondale steadfastly has refused to acknowledge publicly the like lihood of defeat, insisting the size and enthusiasm of the crowds which greet him show the polls ters and commentators will be proved embarrassingly wrong. Mondale has concentrated his efforts in the final days in those states where polls show he is close enough to Reagan to theo retically overtake the president and fashion an upset. Reagan and Mondale have been tracing each other's footsteps, each appearing in recent days in Cleveland, Detroit, Texas and Boston. Yesterday, Reagan made a quickly scheduled stop in Mon day's home state of Minnesota and Monday Mondale was in Rea gan's home base of California. Mondale warned at a Los An geles rally that if Reagan won a clean sweep it would.be inter preted as a mandate for his poli cies. "So before ycu decide, pause a moment and think," Mondale said. "Do you really want to give them a mandate to turn their backs on the suffering in Amer ica? ... Do you really want them to tell women and minorities that the march toward justice is over?" Mondale's speech repeated the basic themes of his whole cam paign. He added that his selec tion of Geraldine Ferraro as a running mate, the first woman candidate for national office on a major party ticket, was the best decision he had ever made. Shorts Rebecca Chance and P. T. Mar tin will speak on the "Impact of Pornography on Womens Lives" today at 12:30 p.m. in Nebraska Cnion 117.

The day's activities will include , sessions with faculty members, ' workshops on admissions and financial aid, campus tours and ' panel discussions with some of UNL's present Merit Scholars. An evening banquet is sche duled for the students. Speakers will include UNL Chancellor Mar tin Massengale; D.B. "Woody" Varner; chairman of the NU Foundation ; and Billy Reagan, superintendent of the Houston school system. - UNL wants to maintain a high number of Merit Scholars, she said.

Continued from Page 1 "I went to his funeral, and there were three or four other liquor store owners there. He was one of their best customers, too." Hughes has seen many differ ent kinds of customers during the years. He said his store pulls in a wide variety of people, from students to blue-collar and white collar workers. Hughes said the store's loca tion, 22nd and 0 streets, helps business. Another thing that helps is his friendly attitude. "I don't have anything to offer except service," Hughes said. There will be a test of the disas ter alarm system Wednesday in all buildings that are equipped for it at 11 a.m. on City and East Campuses. Building maintenance reporters should contact the Maintenance Office at 472-3141 if the alarm does not sound in their building. "There are 200 other places in Lincoln selling the same products. And I've been fortunate in hiring the right people to work for me." Hughes said his work schedule isn't as hectic as in the early years, but he still puts in about a 60-hour work week. He is usually around if a problem comes up, since he lives in the basement of his liquor store. He said he likes his basement apartment because he doesn't have to pay rent for a separate place. "It's a matter of space utiliza tion," he said. "I had the space, so I thought, Svhy not?' " More than 1,100 attend second 'Busker Monday ' By Mike George Daily Nebraskan Staff Reporter More than 1,100 high school students on Monday attended the second Husker Monday, which was coordinated by UNL's Pre admission Activities Office. The students were high school seniors from schools within a radius of 75 miles of Lincoln. "The main purpose of the pro gram is to give high school stu dents the opportunity to see the campus while classes are in ses sion," said Linda Schwartzkopf, director of pre-admission activ ities. "Husker Monday has come as a result of the many requests by high schools for tours," Schwartz kopf said. "We still conduct tours daily for any interested student to come to campus." The students were given tours of the campus and were able to talk with professors. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aids gave presentations on grants and scholarships offered at UNL The students looked at resi dence halls and ate at the resi dence hall food services. In the afternoon, UNL organizations set up booths to present information about their programs. In addi tion, representatives from the academic departments answered questions. "The response to the first Husker Monday last month was very favor able," Schwartzkopf said. The first Husker Monday, Oct. 1, was for students outside of the 75-mile radius. The first Husker Monday drew more than 700 students to the Lincoln campus. "Some of these students have never seen the campus before, so we feel that this is a good opportunity for them to get a good look at the campus," Schwartzkopf said. Another Husker Monday is tentatively scheduled in April for high school juniors. Some students reactions to this Husker Monday were positive. Amy Rogge, of Fremont, said "the program was very helpfuL I haven't had much of a chance to see the campus, so today was a big help to help me make my decision." Perry Sukstorf, also of Fremont, said he found the tour of East Campus to be helpful. "The discussion of finanical aid also helped quite a bit," he said. Jackie Coday, of Fremont, said Husker Monday definitely helped her make a decision about cam pus. "I never really had much of an opportunity to see much of the campus and to talk to the staff, so that was a big help," she said.

I view with alarm the thought of spending my second term confronted by two hostile houses of Congress. A win by you in Nebraska would help maintain Republican control of the Senate, and assure me the chance I seek to continue the rebuilding of this nation. "Your experience as University of Nebraska Regent is great preparation for a Senate in which quality education and tough budget decisions will be both high on the agenda, and I know you will serve with great distinction. But no vote you cast as a Senator will be as important as the first one: to organize the Senate under a Republican leadership. President Ronald Reagan August 19, 1934 "Of ail the challengers for the United States Senate on the Republican side, Nancy Hoch is closer and doing better than anyone across the entire country . . . She's an outstanding candidate and she'll make an outstanding Senator ... I urge you to get the vote out for Nancy and work for her."
