Democrats rally behind Clinton
By Susie Arth
Senior Reporter
While the Republicans were busy
in Houston showcasing George Bush,
the Democrats in Lincoln were doing
some showcasing of their own.
The Lancaster County Democrats
sponsored a “Rally for Change”
Thursday to show support for Bill
Clinton.
Ll Gov. Maxine Moul urged a
crowd of more than 100 Democrats to
give the presidential candidate some
of Nebraska’s electoral votes.
Moul told rally participants their
hard work could turn the tide of
Republican support the state has shown
in recent elections.
“Clinton and Gore arc giving noth
ing to Bush and Quayle in this elec
tion ... and we’ll concede nothing to
the Republicans in Nebraska,’’ she
said.
Moul told the crowd gathered at
the Reunion, 16lh and W streets, that
the electricity generated by the
Democratic National Convention
would continue to run through the
rest of the campaign.
She compared the parties' views
of women by recalling the opening
days of the two conventions.
The Democratic convention in New
York opened by highlighting women
officeholders across the country, Moul
said, while the Republican conven
tion in Houston opened with enter
tainment by the Houston Oiler cheer
leaders in “skin-tight” uniforms.
Ginton’s domestic policies of health
care, family leave and women’s rights
should be trusted and elevated above
the platform put forth by George Bush,
she said.
“I don’t think we can afford four
more years of George Bush,” Moul
said.

handicapped accessibility, student con
venience and employee comfort, will
continue to be main priorities, he said.
Spanier mentioned Gov. Ben Nel
son’s request that UNL departments
prepare for the possibility of budget
cuts, but he was not specific about
when or where cuts would be made.
He also called for tougher admis
sions standards, soon to be reviewed
by the NU Board of Regents, which
“arc not intended to exclude anyone
from the university, but rather to help
students to succeed in higher educa
tion once they arc accepted.”
Spanier said UNL students, lac
ullyand administrators must continue
to work to improve cultural diversity.
“If we arc doing our jobs and doing
them well, then we need to be respon
sive both to the educational and so
cial needs of our students,” Spanier
said. “We need to create an open,
tolerant and sensitive learning envi
ronment for all. We must have the
courage to build a harmonious, mul
ticultural society, not because we
believe it is economically and politi
cally expedient, but because it is the
right thing to do.”
