State treasurer decides
to enter governor's race
on the Republican ticket
By Jen Deselms
Staff Reporter
Nebraska State Treasurer Kay Orr
announced Thursday she will run for
governor on the Republican ticket.
Orr, who made the announcement at
the Lincoln Municipal Airport, said she
is qualified to be Nebraska's next gov
ernor because of her experience, philo
sophy and enthusiasm to serve Ne
braskans. Orr said she has been involved in
politics for 21 years as a volunteer,
executive assistant to former Gov. Cha
rles Thone, and state treasurer.
Orr said that as Thone's executive
assistant, she gained state govern
ment experience in selecting and
managing staff members. She said she
also gained experience in building and
administering state government bud

"I will be the kind of governor who

Liberty said he is concerned with
the morale of the university and Lin
coln community.
"It's natural to discuss how wound
ed we are and not how great an institu
tion on this is," Liberty said. "We have
great students, faculty and programs.
We do have to articulate that external
pressures are going to stall us in the
changes that will be made, but we are
not permanently wounded."
Chapelle emphasized the need for
encouraging state support for the
university.
"It's critical that long-term invest
ment is made in the future of the state,
higher education," Chapelle said.
The budget cuts are an opportunity
for students to let the APC know what's
important to them and their education.
