Local candidates
opposed to race,
sex discrimination
By Lisa Donovan
Suff Reporter
Eighteen candidates for local,
state and federal offices agreed
Wednesday night no one should be
discriminated against on the basis of
sex.
“I don’t believe in special rights
for individuals, but I think that every
one deserves the same breaks,” said
Corky Jones, democratic candidate
for U.S. Congress.
Jones said that sex and race are not
valid criteria for pay and the laws that
are established to prohibit this need to
be enforced.
“In many instances we need state
laws, but there should be federal
concern because it goes on across the
country,” he said.
Mary Johnson, campaign manager
for congressional candidate Doug
Bereuter, said Bereuter’s view on
Wiiigiuui/iv *» v/1 u i IJ, UIV lliui V 1UUU I
can do the job, not the gender.”
Candidates or their spokesmen
addressed women’s issues, at the First
Congregational Church, 20th and D
streets.
The forum was sponsored by the
Lincoln-Lancaster Commission on
the Status of Women, Lincoln
YWCA, First Plymouth Board of
Women’s Ministries, NOVA Chapter
of the Business and Professional
Women’s Association, League of
Women Voters and the Junior League
of Lincoln.
“Congress and Senate has to undo
all the damage that Reagan has done
to civil rights,” said Marlin Pals,
candidate for U.S. Congress.
At the state level, seven candidates
for the Nebraska Legislature ad
dressed the same issues.
Mildred Curtis, running for the
27th district of the Legislature, said
women are equal to men.
“They can talk about our emo
tions, we can control them,” Curtis
said.
“If I’m elected, women’s rights
will be my first concern,” she said.
Curtis and other candidates also
addressed education issues.
“Education has to be a top priority
at all levels,” said Harold Allen, can
didate for the 29th legislative district.
Diana Schimek, candidate for the
27lh legislative district said the Uni
versity of Nebraska-Lincoln is an
important institution in the city and an
important economic issue in the state.
Schimek said that more money
needs to be allocated for research and
faculty salaries.
Reunion begins today
REUNION from Page 1
Massengale will present alumnus
Theodore Sorensen with a Centennial
Medallion at a noon luncheon at the
center.
Sorensen graduated first in his
class from the University of Nebraska
College of Law in 1951. In 1953, he
was an assistant to then-Senator John
F. Kennedy. When Kennedy became
president, Sorensen v as named as a
special counsel.
The National Association of State
Universities and Land-Grant Col
leges began theCentcnnial Medallion
last November in commemoration of
the group's 100th year. The award
was given to an outstanding alumni
from each of NASULGC’s 125
member institutions.
At 1 p.m. Friday, Hugh Genoways,
director of the Morrill Hall Museum,
will lead tours of the museum. The
Scarlet and Cream Singers will enter
tain at a 6:30 p.m. dinner in the Wick
Center.
George Neubert, director of the
Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, will
be honored at a 9:30 a.m. breakfast
Saturday. After the breakfast, tours of
the gallery will be given. At 1 p.m.
there will be a luncheon in the link at
Architecture Hall.

Alumni Achievement Awards will

Bookstores buy from different wholesalers, throw extras away

a student identification card to sell
books. Hoppe said the reason the
I.D. is required is to provide a better
record for the bookstore and it also
prevents some theft.
Mullinix said the I.D. require
ment usually runs in cycles, One
bookstore will require identifica
tion, while the other will not. He
said that in the past, the Nebraska
Bookstore required an identifica
tion card while the University
Bookstore didn’t.
Mullinix said an identification
card isn’t required now at the Ne
braska Bookstore because he hasn’t
noticed much theft in the past few
years. He said using an identifica
tion card also slows the process
down, which causes students to
spend more time in lines.
The University Bookstore also
used a computer for returning
books. Hoppe said the computer
works well because it transfers in
formation right into the inventory
when the book is sold and gives an
accurate count of book limits for the
next business day.
Mullinix said the Nebraska
Bookstore doesn’t use the computer
system because the old-fashioned
way is actually faster than the
computer.
Time spent in lines last semester
was about the same at both book
stores. Hoppe said both bookstores
probably handle about the same
amount of students during the buy
ing period.
