3 candidates say they
support higher education

Three Democratic gubernatorial
candidates say they supported Gov.
Bob Kerrey's vetoes of $32.6 million
from the Legislature's budget package
but not necessarily Kerrey's veto
choices.
Speaking Friday at the state conven
tion of the American Association of
University Professors, candidates David
Domina, Chris Beutler and Helen Boo
salis said they agreed with most of the
budget vetoes because Nebraskans
aren't ready for a tax increase.
All Republican and Democratic
gubernatorial candidates were invited
to speak Friday, but many did not
attend.
Boosalis, a former Lincoln mayor,
said she supported all but the $3.1
million cut for NU.
"Nebraska incomes are such that
taxes cannot be raised," Boosalis said.
But quality education is still needed to
supply a competent work force, she
said.
If elected governor, Boosalis said,
she would not try to "mold the univer
sity into my own image."
Professors need academic freedom,
Boosalis said, and they need more
money to get research material
published.
Domina, a Norfolk lawyer, said he
favored Kerrey's higher education
vetoes, citing the inconsistency of state
revenue forecasts, the present
economic strain on state taxpayers and
the feeling that NU could better spend
its budget as his reasons.
Despite NU's need to eliminate
excess waste, Domina said Nebraskans
must be sold on the benefits of educa
tion to maintain quality post-secondary
education in the state.
However, Domina said, some
Nebraskans don't realize the benefits
of education. Some are insensitive to
the needs of Nebraska state colleges
and NU, he said.
Domina said educators must keep
people from succumbing to the false
belief that educat ion will not give them
a future.
Beutler, a lawyer and former state
legislator from Lincoln, said Kerrey's
vetoes were politically sound. The state
is suffering economically and some
Nebraskans are pushing for a constitu
tional amendment to control state
spending, he said.
But Beutler said his record in the
Legislature proves he is a strong advo
cate of higher education in
Nebraska.
Because education is the first func
tion of government, the quality of it
must Le enhanced when times are
good, he said.
The candidates also addressed the
problem of NU graduates leaving the
state for higher-paying jobs.
If graduates continue leaving
Nebraska, Beutler said he hoped they
eventually would return.
Domina said that if elected gover
nor, he would ask state leaders in farm
ing, education and other fields for
advice on the "brain-drain" problem.
Boosalis also said she would ask the
most competent people to help her find
a solution to the state problem.
