Harris advocates stronger ties
By Dorothy Pritchard
Staff Reporter
One of state Sen. Bill Harris's priori
ties as mayor would be to strengthen
the relationship between the city of
Lincoln and UNL.
Harris, who faces Republican in
cumbent Roland Luedtke in the Tues
day election, said one way he plans to
strengthen that relationship is to keep
UNL graduates in the city by offering
"good-paying jobs."
Harris said one way to do so is to stop
a Philadelphia management firm from
handling the computing services used
by Lincoln Electric System, Lincoln
and Lancaster County. Presently, a
$160,000 three-year renewal contract is
being negotiated by the city with the
company. Harris said that if he were
mayor, he would veto the contract and
use university talent for the manage
ment positions.
"The city looks outside the state for
expertise," he said. "We should have
the confidence ourselves to do these
things that are technical in nature and

emphasis on using

Setting goals for the city of Lincoln
during the next mayoral term will not
be difficult, said Mayor Roland Luedtke,
The city should have the same goals
it has had for four years, said Luedtke,
who is running for his second term.
Luedtke said the goals he has main
tained have been "positive" for the
city.
In the past four years, Lincoln has
attracted new businesses, reopened
plants, added 1 1,397 new jobs, lowered
property taxes and added $10 million
in federal grants, he said.
When things are going that well,
Luedtke said, "why would we change
our leadership or direction?"
Luedtke said that, if re-elected, he
will continue to complete downtown
redevelopment and turn Lincoln into a
regional distribution center for the
world market.
Redeveloping downtown Lincoln
would be an important priority, Luedtke
said.

Council candidates comment
on Block 35, Duds 'n' Suds
By Micki Haller
Staff Reporter
Ten Lincoln City Council candidates will vie
for five spots on the council in Tuesday's
election. '
In telephone interviews last week, candidates
stressed what they would emphasize if elected.
They also commented on university-related issues
like the Block 35 debate and Duds 'n' Suds, a
proposed laundry beer-serving franchise which
had a request for a liquor license voted down by
the City Council earlier this year. Duds 'n' Suds,
representatives have said they will revise and
re-submit their proposals to the council later
this year. The coin-operated laundry is under
construction at 27th and W streets.
Block 35, the area bound by 11th, 12th, and P
and Q streets is marked by the city for a multi
level parking garage. City officials and the Com
mittee to Save Block 35 agreed in January to
allow businesses on the block to remain until
November 1988.
Northeast District
Hank Buis, 60, is president of Hank Buis Con
struction Co. Buis said he is running on a plat
form of "economic development and less govern
ment red tape." His campaign is his first try for
political office.
Block 35: He said businesses on the block
should not be torn down until a contract has
been signed with the businesses.
Duds V Suds: "(I) wouldn't be in favor of
that at all," Buis said. "We have enough places in
town to serve liquor."
Coleen Seng, 51, is a community worker at
United Methodist Church. Seng said she sees a
need for economic development and jobs with
good salaries.
Block 35: "I'm on the Block 35 committee,
she said. "It's a unique block that ought to be
preserved."
Duds 'n1 Suds: "I don't think I would be in
favor of it," she said. But she said she didn't
know much about the issue, "Just what I've read
in the paper," she said.
Southeast District
Jeffrey Pcyne, 30, is a Lincoln Public
Schools teacher. Payne said he is running on a
platform of downtown redevelopment where he
sees a "definite need to balance the two major
retail centers: downtown and east Lincoln." This
is Payne's first try for political office.
Block 35: Payne said the existing busi
nesses, should be allowed to stay.
"If it can be worked into downtown planning
or a fair price can be offered to those people
(businessmen on the block), then that's the way
to go," he said.
Duds n Suds: He said he is against allow
ing the business to serve liquor.
Linda Wilson 48, is a former elementary
school teacher.. She said her platform is eco--nomic
development. She said she would like to
see new businesses come into Lincoln and a
better working relationship with existing busi
nesses. This is her first try for public office.
Block 35: She said the businesses on the
block should be treated fairly.
Duds 'n' Suds: Serving liquor at a coin
operated laundry is not necessary, and she is
against the idea, she said.
Northwest District
Ted Ilempel, 43, is vice president of Quali
Graphs, Inc. Hempel said his platform includes
representing an approachable person who will
listen to the people in the district. "If you can
listen, you can solve the problem," he said.
Block 35: "If it's an option, businesses
should be allowed to remain until there's a
signed contract," he said. "Genuine respect for
individual people should continue on up to indi
vidual businesses."
Duds V Suds: He said he is against the
