Dole, Kames visit east campus
DOLE from Page 1
be in the “best interest for Ne
braska,” since the other four candi
dates, all Democrats, aren’t from
this region.
Dole said he only needs Five
more seats to gain a majority,
which is important not for partisan
reasons, but for carrying forth “an
agenda for America” with Repub
lican presidential candidate Bush.
“This is an important election
and this is an important seat,” he
said.
That’s why Bush will be cam
paigning in Omaha with Karnes
Friday, he said.
“George Bush is looking to get
a senate to put his agenda forward,”
Dole said.
“It’s a highlight to have George
Bush willing to come out to Ne
braska,” Karnes added.
Dole said he thinks Bush’s visit
to Nebraska is important
“It sends a signal that he’s look
ing for help (in building a Republi
can Senate majority),” Dole said.
“George Bush understands the im
portance of this seat.”
Dole was questioned as to
whether Karnes’ Democratic chal
lenger Kerrey would be a “new
Zorinsky,” referring to the late
Nebraska Sen. Ed Zorinsky, whose
seat Karnes took over.
“Bob Kerrey is going to be over
there with Ted Kennedy and Chris
topher Dodd,” Dole said. “Kerrey
would be a true Democrat.”
Dole treated an audience at
UNL’s College of Law to several
anecdotes from his primary cam
paign, when he ran against Bush for
the Republican nomination before
withdrawing in March.
Dole won the first primary Feb.
8 in Iowa, with Bush in third place,
but went on to lose the second pri
mary in New Hampshire by eight
points to Bush.
“After being elected president
of Iowa, I headed for New Hamp
shire and met my pollster,” Dole
said. “He said I’d win (New Hamp
shire). I haven’t seen him since
then and I haven’t paid him either.
“When I withdraw from the
race, I tried to take it like a man,”
he said. “I went home and I slept
like a baby — every two hours I
woke up and cried.”
Dole said thataftcr withdrawing
from the race, he has been doing
what he could to help Bush, be
cause Bush would be in the best
interests of the Midwest.
“Obviously I discovered a lot of
virtues he had that I hadn’t recog
nized,” Dole said.
Dole also related an experience
when he went with President
Ronald Reagan and Senate major
ity leader Robert Byrd to Moscow
for the Articles of Ratification.
“I found myself seated right
next to Mr. Gorbachev,” Dole said.
l was on nis ngni, oi course.
Aside from jokes, Dole said the
visit taught him that the future of
the United States will depend in
large part on its relationship with
the Soviet Union. Bush is the best
person to sit across the negotiating
table with the Soviets, Dole said.
Dole also responded to a ques
tion on whether Bush had a shady
role in the Iran-Contra affair.
“I recall raising that a time or
two (in the primary),” Dole said to
chuckles from the crowd. “I
couldn’t make it stick then and it
hasn’t stuck since.
“You take a look at the whole
George Bush, the whole Michael
Dukakis, warts and all — and we
all have some — and you make a
choice,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Dole and
Karnes toured the animal science
complex with UNL Chancellor
Martin Massengale and NU Presi
dent Ronald Roskens.
The tour showcased the animal
science building’s equipment and
classroom facilities.
Following a slide presentation
on the biotechnology center, Mas
sengale said that UNL was looking
for federal money for more bio
technology Polities.
Roskens said that NU’sproblem
was being compared with peer in
stitutions on the East and West
coasts for getting federal dollars,
which isn’t fair.

Indian students UNITE to solve issues
By Lynn Schwebach
Staff Reporter
A group of American Indian stu
dents hope to decrease negative stere
otypes about their culture, solve re
cruitment problems and provide sup
port for American Indian students at
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The UNL Inter-Tribal Exchange,
called UNITE, held an open-door
reception Wednesday at the Nebraska
Union. Group members distributed
brochures, displayed pictures and
Indian dance costumes and answered
questions to people interested in
learning more about Indian culture.
Gail Spotted Tail, president of
UNITE, said UNL students and fac
ulty are uninformed about American
Indians and remain afraid of them.
For example, many people do not
realize that American Indians are not
all the same, Spotted Tail said. UNL
Indian students come from the Win
nebago, Omaha and Sioux tribes.
Each tribe has unique differences,
such as language, Spotted Tail said.
Toprovide better communications
with students and faculty, Spotted
Tail said that in the future, the group
will host panels of five or six UNITE
members to answer questions about
Indian culture.
In addition, UNITE wants to re
cruit more American Indians to UNL,
after addressing concerns for students
on campus, Spotted Tail said.
Those concerns include the prob
lems with the financial aid office,
Spotted Tail said. Agencies of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs handle fi
nancial aid for American Indian stu
dents. Spotted Tail said students fre
quently have problems processing
their aid.
“The native American students
usually end up training the new finan
cial officer each semester,” Spotted
Tail said.
Elizabeth Ball, chairman for the
American Minorities Council, said
other recruitment problems stem
from UNL’s poor public relations
with American Indians.
Ball said too much racism still
exists on campus to effectively recruit
American Indians.
Spotted Tail said that racism is
another reason for UNITE. The
American Indian students need a set
ting to vent their frustrations and
socialize.
Spotted Tail said American Indi
ans have more difficulty mixing with
other students on campus because
they come from reservations where
everyone is an Indian.
“They do not have the advantage
of going to grade school and high
school with blacks, whites and other
nationalities,” Spotted Tail said.
Spotted Tail said UNITE is open to
all American Indians on campus.

Two students jaywalk on 17th Street in front of Abel Hall.
! Police work on pedestrian violations , safety
j By Bryan Thomas
| Staff Reporter
The American Automobile Asso
| ciation of Nebraska has announced
j that Lincoln recently was awarded the
| AAA Safety Citation for its low 1987
j pedestrian death and injury record.
| According to Richard Haden, the
j acting city traffic engineer, Lincoln
j has received the award off and on for
j the past 10 years.
There were 161 accidents involv
| ing pedestrians last year in Lincoln,
j Haden said. Of these accidents, 60 of
| them were the pedestrians’ fault,
I while 66 were caused by the drivers of
I the vehicles involved. No one could
I be found at fault in seven accidents,
| acoqfdw*f.Hfl4en. mw. v,o<v,
Jaywalking and crossing against a
traffic light are the biggest pedestrian
offenses, according to Haden.
The Lincoln Police Department
conducts an annual accident and traf
fic up-date to identify problem areas
for pedestrians and vehicles alike,
Haden said. A comprehensive acci
dent study is done every three years
he said.
Lt. Ken Cauble of the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Depart
ment said there are two areas on
campus where pedestrians, usually
students, don t follow traffic rules
These areas are 16th Street between U
^ * ^tI|p®lsand 17 th Street in front of
the Abel-Sandoz residence halls.
There was one accident involving
^pedestrian on campus last year.,
according to Cauble.
“They seem to watch the cars
pretty good and they’re all pretty
agile,” Cauble said.
On-campus jaywalking and cross
ing against traffic lights are the most
frequent pedestrian offenses, accord
ing to Cauble.
The UNL Police Department does
not issue many tickets to pedestrians,
Cauble said, unless the offense causes
a problem for a motorist
Haden said the Lincoln Police
Department is constantly looking tor
ways to improve pedestrian safety.
Traffic signs are put in problem areas
and new, easy-to-read traffic lignts
often are installed, according to
Haden.
