Bereuter outlines plans for possible GOP Congress
By Km Paul man
Staff Reporter
Congressman Doug Bereuter raised the is
sues of credibility, education and the prospects
of a Republican Congress at the College Re
publicans' meeting Wednesday night.
Bereuter, who is running for his ninth term
in the U S. House of Representatives, said cred
ibility and being prepared for office were two
advantages he had over his opponent. Demo
crat Patrick Combs.
Bereuter said his experience in state offices
and the Nebraska Legislature helped him serve
Nebraska in Congress. Combs has no such
experience, he said.
Education is one of his top priorities,
Bereuter said. He discussed his time in the slate
Legislature, where he said he helped the Uni
versity of Nebraska-Lincoln get funding for
more professors.
Bereuter said public schools should be able
to compete for funding but that he did not sup
port federal vouchers for private schools.
When asked about consolidation in rural
school districts, Bereuter said such changes can
be good, but should not be federally mandated.
Bereuter also outlined the GOP Contract for
Reform and Change, a series of 10 bills that
he said would be brought to the House if the
Republicans gained a majority.
Some of those bills include:
— A welfare reform program that would
prohibit welfare to teen-age mothers in an ef
fort to discourage illegitimacy, deny welfare
to families that nave collected for more than
five years and require welfare recipients to
work.
— Tax relief for middle-class families, in
cluding a $500 per child tax credit.
— A defense program that would prohibit
U.N. command of U.S. troops, renew
America’s commitment to a national missile
defense and prevent cuts in the defense budget
to hind social programs.
— A program to spur economic growth by,
among other provisions, cutting the capital
gains tax rate by 50 percent.
Bereuter said he wanted to change the way
the House is run and restore democracy to it.

lem for at least one group.
A certified public accountant test
review course, held Saturdays in the
northwest corner of the College of
Business Administration building,
was forced to relocate.
“The speaker system was really
disruptive to the class,” said Paul
Shoemaker, who teaches the course.
The class moved to an interior
classroom after the first game. Shoe
maker said. Since the move, he said,
the noise has not been a problem.
Residents living closest to the sta
dium said the new speaker system did
not bother them.
Several residents said they could
not hear noise from the stadium at
all when they were inside their house.
Others said they could hear it faintly,
but it was not a problem.
The noise also was no big deal for
Lynncttc Osborn of 1048 N. Ninth St.
“I can hear it. but it doesn’t bother
me because Pin a big Nebraska fan,”
she said.

That site also has accessibility prob
lems, he said.
Another potential site would be on
the southeast corner of 17th and R
streets, he said. UNL would have to
tear down a convenience store located
at the site, Carlson said. UNL owns
the convenience store.
Other potential sites include the
parking lot west of Memorial Sta
dium, the parking lot north of Morrill
Hall, and the parking lot east of Al
pha Chi Omega Sorority and north
of the Cather-Pound residence hall
complex at 17th and Vine streets.
Another option, Carlson said, was
to not build a parking garage. UNL
would not build a garage if demand
was low, he said.
Employers, schools to come to UNL

More than 130 companies and
graduate programs will be at UNL
on Friday for Career Connections
’94, held in the concourse of the
Bob Devaney Sports Center
The career and graduate school
fair will run from 9:30 a m. to 3
p.m., and students from 25 other
Nebraska colleges may attend the
fair.
Career Connections, coordi
nated by University of Nebraska
Lincoln Career Services, is draw
ing corporations such as Black &
Decker and Norwest Financial.
Some major graduate universities
— including Cornell, Harvard and
Purdue — will recruit.
Geri Cotter, assistant director of
Career Services, is serving as di
rector of the fair.
“I think the fact that so many
representatives arc coming speaks
well of UNL students,” Cotter said.
Career Connections is an op
portunity for students to interact
with many companies and gradu
ate program representatives, she
said.
Cotter said the best way to
gather career information was by
talking directly to employers.
In addition to speaking with
representatives, students can at
tend workshops on career and
graduate school issues from 9 a.m.
to 10 a.m. and a style seminar with
UNL men's basketball coach
Danny Nee and women's basket
ball coach Angela Beck.
The idea of having both com
panies and graduate programs at
the same fair is a new idea. Cotter
said.
Career Services in the past held
separate fairs in the Nebraska
Union. Cotter said she hoped the
combination would make it easier
for students to sec all the options
available to undergraduates.
Career Connections is spon
sored by the College Placement As
sociation of Nebraska, UNL Office
of Graduate Studies and KFRX
radio, which will broadcast live
from the event.
Janet Reno, U.S. Attorney General:
“I believe it is essential that we recognize and facilitate the work
of these nonlawyer representatives.”
