Animated weeds sweep down
from a dumpster, ana shouts
of joy are heard as the weeds
scream “Bad mouth, bad mouth, bad
mouth" before devouring a Bob Ker
rey campaign sign.
This television ad, one of
Kerrey’s, is in response to negative
ads by his Republican opponent Sen.
Dave Karnes, said Joe Rothstein of
Joe Rothstein and Company in Wash
ington, D.C., Kerrey’s advertising
agency. Karnes and Kerrey, along
with Ernie Chambers, are running for
the U S. Senate.
Rothstein said the Kerrey cam -
paign hasn ’ t produced “a single nega
tive television ad.”
“It's not because we didn't have
material," he said, citing Karnes’
voting record in the U.S. Senate as
possible ammunition for a negative
ad.
“We have run some commercials
that criticize the negative ads he’s
(Karnes) been doing,” Rothstein said,
referring to the “bad mouth” adver
tisement
“We fell thal people were tired of
negative ads,” he said.
Rothstein said the Karnes ads have
been “very aggressive” and have dis
torted the Kerrey records on social
security, taxes, defense issues and
crime.
“We decided to hope Kerrey
would have a strong enough record
that people would not believe them,”
he said. “It doesn’t seem people are
buying the Karnes ads.’’
Adam Goodman, political director
lor the Robert Goodman Agency in
Baltimore, which handles Karnes’
ads, said the ads have been positive.
At one point, ads did point out
“basic differences between Kerrey
and Dave,” he said, because “both

Unauthorized use of logo
angers NETV station officials

Senior Reporter
The use of an Nebraska ETV
network logo for the low
level nuclear waste compact
amendment. Initiative 402, has an
gered station officials.
The logo “Not In My Backyard"
appeared on a poster for the pro-402
group, Early warning, advertising a
rally today at 4:30 p.m. at 16th ana O
streets.
The logo was developed by NETV
for a unbiased program that aired
Thursday night and will again Sunday
which centers on the low-level radio
active waste disposal issue.
Kathryn Stephens, network infor
mation director, said she fears people
will construe NETV as being pro
402, when in fact the station is neu
tral.
“We have a commitment to pro
vide balanced viewpoints," she said.
“People get the wrong impression."
“To me this is a blatant infraction
of anything you’ re taught about copy
right laws and plagiarism," she said.
NETV producer/reporter Hubert
Brown echoed those sentiments.
Brown said he thinks Early Warn
ing should stop distributing the mate
rials and should make it clear at their
rally that the logo’s use was a mistake
and NETV is not pro-402.
Eariy Warning member Joe Bow
man said the the group did not mean
to align itself with NETV and would
announce the mistake at the rally.
"It just happened to be a very eye
catching slogan," Bowman said, and
the poster-makers thought it would
cause no harm.
"We’re sorry it happened,” he
said. "We will make every effort
possible to distance ourselves from
NETV. We have to be more cautious
about how we use material.”

Car towed during blood pick up
By Victoria Ayotte
Senior Reporter
r Lincoln delivery service
owner saw red Thursday
when University of Ne
braska-Lincoln police lowed one
of the service’s cars which was
transporting blood to the Commu
nity Blood Bank.
The vehicle was owned by
Thomas Morrow Associates, a
delivery service which has an ar
rangement with the Community
Blood Bank to transport blood
from the mobile site on East Cam
pus back to the blood bank during
the day, said Jane DeCalb, a lab
worker for the blood bank.
Morrow’s vehicle was illegally
parked while he was picking up
about 20 pints of blood, DeCalb
said. Morrow said he has had a
couple of tickets for illegally park
ing on campus before, but he
thought they had been “taken care
of.”
UNL parking officers spotted
the license plate of the vehicle with
outstanding tickets and called
Pete’s Towing to impound the
vehicle.
DeCalb said that the blood bank
called UNL police to get the blood
stored in the van returned to them,
and the police consented to have
another vehicle pick up the blood.
Morrow said he was upset about
the situation.
“It cost me $64 (for the lowing
and tickets) and here we are out
there doing a worthwhile cause
picking up blood,” Morrow said.
Lt. John Burke, in charge of
Cing for UNL Police, said that
row's vehicle was not marked
as carrying blood.
The vehicle had outstanding
tickets, so it was impounded, he
said. Burke would not say how
many tickets the vehicle had.
Burke said he didn't think
Morrow should be exempt from
tickets because he was operating
the delivery service.
‘‘They (Thomas Morrow Asso
ciates) should have made arrange
ments.” he said.
DcCalb said he thought the situ
ation was funny.
"It didn’t cause any problems,”
Dei. ai'u r.aid. “11 just gave us a good
laugh.”
