After speaking at Gov. Kay Orr’s
fundraiser in Omaha Thursday
morning, President George Bush
arrived at Offutt Air Force Base,
where he spent about 10 minutes in
front of the media before louring
Strategic Air Command headquar
ters.
Bush reached Offutt about 8:40
a.m. in one of two limousines that
traveled with the presidential mo
torcade.
The president, flanked by secret
service agents and Air Force per
sonnel, wore a brown leather SAC
jacket.
Bush began his lour by shaking
hands with several Air Force offi
cers and then briefly examined a
B-52.
He then walked across a runway
and climbed into the cockpit of
4 ‘The Pride of North Dakota, ’ ’ a B
1B.

“We have sent legislation to
the Congress to confront our most
crucial issues,” he said.
Bush cited the National Drug
Control Strategy, the Educational
Excellence Act of 1989, Head Start,
the 1990 Farm Bill and the Clean
Air Act as some of the programs
he’s supporting and asking Con
gress for increased funding to
improve. <
He said he hopes to negotiate a
new trade agreement with the Soviet
Union by the 1990 summit that
will “relax trade barriers between
East and West — expanding mar
kets for American exports.”
Orr thanked the president for
visiting Nebraska and called him
the ‘ ‘champion of freccntcrprise,”
the ‘‘guardian of the family” and
the “protector of the environment.”
“Yes, my friends, we put the
right man in the White House,”
she said.
Daub said he has disagreed with
Orr, but that “Kay Orr has been,
and is, a great governor. * ’
Daub, who is running for slate
senator, called the upcoming No
vember election a “team effort,”
and said he will work with Orr.
Morgan said, “There’s much
happening in the state, and dial’s
because of the great governor we’ve
had. You’re the right governor at
exaedy the right time, and we want
you for four more years.”
After speaking at Peony Park,
Bush toured Offutt Air Force Base

workers from distant stales and fly
them far away from relatives and
friends, he said.
Landowners also are contributing
to a pattern of deforestation in the
Amazon rain forest, Ripper said.
First, landowners destroy forests
and sell the wood, he said. Then, they
plant soybeans for export. Within two
years of planting the soybeans, the
land becomes infertile, he said, after
which the owners plant grass on which
to raise cattle for meat exports, Rip
per said.
Foreign industries that own land in
Brazil get tax exemptions for follow
ing that process, Ripper said, to en
courage foreign investment. Those
industries then loan that money back
to the government and collect inter
est, he said.
Some of the companies that own
land in the rain forest, Ripper said,
are Volkswagon, Coca-Cola and
Georgia Pacific.
“Somebody’s getting money out
of all this business,” he said, “but it’s
not the Brazilian people.”

Diversity aides
to help minority
students in halls
By Mindy Mozer
Staff Reporter
Minority students will help each
other adjust to UNL life next fall
through a new program directed by
the Office of University Housing.
According to Carolyn Jakobsen,
assistant director of housing, about
12 “diversity aides” will offer coun
seling and advice to students of their
own ethnic background.
“Each minority has different tra
ditions, customs and political issues
that others are not aware of,” Jakob
sen said. “This way, for example,
someone who is Oriental can go to an
Oriental counselor, and that person
will know about the Oriental cul
ture.”
jaKODsen said students Irom all
nationalities will be recruited as di
versity aides. Once the students arc
recruited, she said, they will be trained
to help others solve school and per
sonal problems.
Jakobsen said she doesn’t know
which nationalities will be represented
yet, but the list should include Ameri
can Indians, blacks, Hispanics and
Orientals, she said.
The program, Jakobsen said, is
similar to the health aide program.
Diversity aides will live in the dorms
and be paid $20 a week for their
services. Health aides are paid $10 a
week, she said.
Diversity aides will be paid more
than health aides because they will
spend more time solving complex
issues, Jakobsen said.
“Health aides can deal with a
medical emergency quickly,” she said.
“But counseling is more time-con
suming.”
Right now, university housing plans
to have three diversity aides in the
Harper/Schramm/Smith complex,
three in Cather/Pound/Neihardl, three
in Abel/Sandoz, two in Selleck and
two in Burr/Fedde.
The diversity aide program is not a
new idea, according to Frank San
chez, who saw a similar program at
Michigan State University.

can-American Student Association,

tion of Chicano Studies conference
