GOP head attacks Kerrey leadership Sileven: God's law should govern
By Todd von Kampen
Senior Reporter
The Kerrey administration is subjecting Ne
braskans to "the illusion of leadership" while
the state's economy continues to decline, said
Nebraska Republican Party chairman Kermit
Brashear.
Brashear
Speaking before the Lancaster County Repub
lican Convention at the Villager Motor Inn Wed
nesday night, Brashear said Gov. Bob Kerrey has
no plan for solving Nebraska's problems. He said
Kerrey has resorted to photo opportunities to
keep up his image while farmers and small-town
businesses continue to lose money.
"He promised us a businesslike leadership,"
Brashear said, "and its been politics as usual in
the new style."
Kerrey has said agriculture and economic
development are among his top priorities, Bra
shear said. But during his term, Kerrey has
allowed some industries to leave the state and
has confined his campaign for new industries to
those that would locate in eastern Nebraska, he
said.
"Do all the farmers in western Nebraska and
central Nebraska want to move to Omaha or
Lincoln, put on a collar and work in high-tech?"
Brashear asked. "No. We want a plant in every
town, and then we want two."
Kerrey's performance on budget and legisla
tive issues this year shows his lack of leadership,
Brashear said. When Kerrey proposed his initial
fiscal 1985 budget in December, he told Nebras
kans they should "grab their future" without
worrying what state government spends, Bra
shear said. But as the extent of fiscal problems
became obvious, he said, Kerrey let the Legisla
ture bear the brunt of cutting the budget from
$883 million to $828 million.
Brashear refused to comment on whether
depositors of the insolvent Commonwealth Sav
ings should be reimbursed by the state. But he
said the Kerrey administration should have
noticed that LB713, the bill authorizing the
payoff, was missing necessary language before
he signed the bill.
On Wednesday, Kerrey called the Legislature
into special session to correct the problem.
Although Kerrey has "professed hither and
yon that education is the future," Brashear said,
his actions on the NU budget show otherwise. He
said Kerrey has not convinced Nebraskans that
the state will be better off without programs
such as the NU Medical Center's College of
Pharmacy.
"It is not the solution to go out and close a
college here and a college there," Brashear said.
Brashear challenged the audience to come up
with a long-range economic plan that will defeat
Kerrey and help Nebraska as well.
"We are not just into attacking Bob Kerrey just
to attack Bob Kerrey and winning the governor
ship just to win the governorship," he said.

State laws should be based on the Bible and
Nebraskans should vote for their judges, rather
than having them appointed, said the Rev. Eve
rett Sileven, who is seeking the Republican nom
ination for governor.

Nebraska needs penal reform, to which "laws
are based on the word of God," said Sileven, 48,
who is the minister of the Faith Christian Church
of Louisville.
Speaking to about 40 ministers of Lincoln
churches at a Ministerial Alliance meeting at
Nebraska Wesleyan University, Sileven said, "It's
better to stand up for rights, even if you stand
wrongly."
Sileven said he is an advocate of strong state
government. He opposed the idea of Nebraskans
paying their federal taxes and not seeing any
return of the funds to the state,.
"More and more and more we're seeing the
government intervening with people's lives,
especially the families," he said. "As a whole, the
family should be left alone."
The state should enforce laws against things
like murder, but there should not be a law
requiring Nebraskans to wear seat belts, he said.
Sileven said he is against the Equal Rights
Amendment because it "could make women
eligible for the draft, and could promote the
homosexual and lesbian community."
"The government should not be there for wel
fare," he said. "The churches should be taking
care of the needs of the family." Sileven had no
comment when asked what would happen to the
needy people who are not church affiliated.
Sileven said he would advocate programs such
as the Nebraska Commission on the Status of
Women and the Commission on Indian Affairs
only if they were run by volunteers.
Campaigning as the "Stand-up Man," Sileven
said his name became known through his fight to
keep open the Faith Christian School of Louis
ville. The school didn't have state-accredited
teachers. Some people outside of the state see
Nebraskans as "bursting for freedom," he said.
Sileven said he is against abortion; favors the
repeal of LB 662; urges immediate 90-day morat
orium on farm foreclosures; will develop foreign
trade for Nebraska products; will strive to
reduce state prosecution load; and he believes
criminals should pay their victims.
Sileven encouraged the ministers to tell their
congregations where they stand on public issues.
The press has been reluctant to listen to what
ministers have to say about public issues, he
said, "because often we have nothing to say."
"We are guilty, my friends," he told the minis
ters. "We need to be informed."
Referring to Romans 13:1, Sileven said he is
concerned that government officials are not sub
jecting themselves to God, who put them in their
positions.

O Heard from the Communications
Committee, which is planning an ASUN
open house Oct. 9. The event will give
students a chance to meet their
senators.
ASUN senators also passed a resolu
tion to form an Ad-Hoc committee with
RHA, the H-S-S Senate and Smith
residents. Nine senators will serve on
the committee that will address issues
such as why Smith was chosen; why
residents weren't consulted; what can
be done to improve the situation; and
what can be done to prevent similar
problems in the future.
In other business, senators:
"The women athletes that I have
talked to and my friends I have talked
to are behind us on this," Warner said.
"They understand our position."
The residents of Smith Hall realize it
would be in no one's interest to remove
the area since the money already has
been spent, she said. Residents are
interested in the possibility of having
access to the area or replacement of
the study area and piano room replaced
by the new study area, Warner said.
