Fifteen years ago, Mario Puzo wrote a new chapter in publishing
history, The Godfather sold more than 15 million copies in the
United States alone; the world it depicted won a permanent place in
our idiom. Now Mr. Puzo has forged out of history, myth and
imagination a hook that surpasses his own modern classic. The
Sicilian is a novel of explosive suspense, heroic action and evil on
an epic scab. Here the reader knows again the terrible magic of the
Mafia, and of the author's brilliant sinsister talent

up her son, gets everybody
dressed and to day care In time
to make it to her 7:30 am. class.
All of her studying must be
done between classes because
she needs the evenings to spend
with her children.
"I feel overloaded a lot of
times like IVe spread myself
too thin, but then I ask myself;
Where will I be if I dont go to
school.'
...
Two women. Two students.
Friends. Mother and
daughter.
Nette Nelson and her
daughter, Meri Blaylock, started
at UNL in the fall of 1980 and
graduated in the summer of
1083 together. Nette went on
to Harvard for a master's in
public administration. Meri
began work on her master's at
UNL in cartography.
"Two people either grow to
gether or they grow apart,"
Nette said.
Nette and Meri shared the ex
perience of college, something
few mothers and daughters do.

mocassins for awhile, and she
had to put up with me
succeeding in her world for
awhile."
We moved from a
parentchild relationship to a
peer relationship"...and became
best friencb, Nette said.
In the beginning, however,
there were doubts. Anxiety.
Insecurity. She wondered about
fitting in, being herself; revealing
herself, succeeding. She worried
about what her fellow students
might be thinking.
Nettie soon developed a
partnership with her fellow
students. They asked her for
advice, and helped her lose her
"formal approach to living."
"It took thera a year to get me
into jeans."
It was difficult to go from a
structured 8-to-5 job with a
regular paycheck to no
foreseeable income for four
years.
Nettie said she was happy to
tell her story because "if we're
succeeding, it's going to touch
persons with the same
apprehensions."

$7.6 million for economic
development, an increase of $5.3
million or 234.5 percent.
$211.1 million for elementary
and secondary education, an in
crease of $18 million or 9.3 per
cent. Kerrey said he had to cut agency
requests by about $100 million to
arrive at his recommended budget
He said since Nebraska currently
has a deficit of about $36 million,
he personally would like to see
the state's tax base broaden to
raise revenue more. He said he
does not think he will cut spending
further.
Kerrey said the deficit would
be erased by the time the fiscal
1985-86 budget goes into effect.
He will announce how the state
will finance the proposed budget
after the State Economic Fore
casting Advisory Board meets Dec.
20 to predict revenue for that
year.
Three of Kerrey's four main
priority area3 NU's student
contracts and scholarships, eco
nomic development and water
may receive an extra $3.3 million
each through the proposed Neb
raska Future Fund. The $9.9 mil
lion for this fund would come

government.
must decide whether it will repeal
that tax. If it does, Kerrey said he
wants it to become a state tax
and use it for his proposed priority
areas.
The budget process will continue
after the Legislature reconvenes
Jan. 9, 1985, and the Appro-I
priations Committee proposes its
own budget. Any group that!
receives state money may appear!
before the committee to "state its
case" as NU will Raglin said.
"Their's seldom mirrors the
governor's," he said.
The Legislature then votes on
the committee's proposed budget.
A vote of 25 senators passes the
budget.
"Obviously the university willf
try to narrow the discrepancy,"!
Raglin said. University officials
might achieve that through the
Appropriations Committee or by
talking to Kerrey himself, he said.
At the press conference, Kerrey,
said he proposed the budget irv
December so he could "take it to.
the people" and encourage debate.!
Usually, the budget proposal is
not announced until January.

things that seem important, we
often look into the faces
of children and see a false matur
ity masking what in reality is
fatigue, confusion and aloneness.
We sometimes share too much of
our adult world with those who
will grow into it fast enough.
Our children must know that
they can come to us for love and
warmth and fir iendship and com
fort For understanding. For order.
For the best possible answers we
can give to the things that con
cern them most. The crisis of the
American family is the real issue
we must deal with, and it is in
times such as these that we must
realize, if nothing else, we need
each other.

Douglas h charged with lying
to that committee when he re
ceived $32,500 instead of $40,000
and with obstruction of govern-
mnt Stions when he discus
sed an FBI letter concerning that
agency's Commonwealth probe
with Copple.
Copple testified Wednesday that
he paid Douglas only when Dou
glas came to him and asked for
money. Morrow noted that Dou
gais toid Domina he did not like
tnat payment scheme, and that
Douglas wanted to establish a
specific pay schedule before work
ing on the Timber Ridge lots. That
property was not developed
before the investigation, Morrow
said.
Douglas' statements in the
DominaMiHer report show that
he said he also worked on some
motels for Copple.
There was always something
coming up," Morrow emoted Dou
glas' testimony, "and periodically
I would remind him (Copple) of it
and he would pay me."
