later. Jim Cornell, general man
ager of Nebraska Bookstore, said
more than 1,000 fans had lined up
to get the issue by noon.
The rush began about 12:20 p.m.
—one hour and ten minutes before
the bookstore planned to release it
—when bookstore employees be
gan carting out huge stacks of the
issues.
Melody Aude, a bookstore em
ployee, said management decided
to start selling the issue early be
cause of the number of people al
ready waiting.
At 1 p.m., the line snaked from
outside the bookstore to the top of
the stairs inside. It twisted around
the second floor railing and through
the textbook stacks in the rear of
the store.
The bookstore, which normally
operates three cash registers on the
weekends, had 12 open Saturday.
Still, the people kept the wait at
an hour or more for most.
Some people in line were well
prepared for the wait. Before the
issues were released, Julie Bye and
Sonja Jacobson, both 1992 UNL
graduates, were playing cards on
the floor by the second-floor rail
ing.
Eye and Jacobson said they
planned to buy 13 issues. Jacobson
said she would send one to her
brother in Minnesota so he could
gloat to his co-workers.
At an afternoon press confer
ence in the bookstore’s receiving
room, NU Defensive Back Coach
George Darlington said he and the
other featured speakers did not
venture into the crowd.
“We’re not that dumb. We came
in that door there,” he said, point
ing to the rear entrance of the store.
The day was especially stressful
for bookstore employees.
Gretchen Monroe, who was
fielding phone calls about the
magazine all day, said she’d never
seen anything like it.
“I’ve seen insanity,” she said.
“Even with the Bob Devaney
signings (of his book) and Big Red
football Saturdays, there is no com
parison. This is worse.”
When it was all over at 6:30
p.m., Terri Nielsen, promotion co
ordinator, tallied up the numbers
for the day.
She said the store sold 25,000
issues of the special edition —
more than 10,000 of those in the
first hour. One of the 9,000 cus
tomers bought 36 issues, she said.

slowly. I’m very optimistic.”
Sen. Ron Withem of Papillion,
~ who*was re-elected to a second term
as Speaker of the Legislature, said
proposals by senators and by the gov
ernor would present the Appropria
tions Committee with additional chal
lenges.
The governor is proposing a tax
cut and plans to restructure state gov
ernment to increase efficiency and
lower costs.
While details of the governor’s
plans will nottfe relea^ until Thurs
day, Wehrbein said he liked what he
heafif, particularly in terms of
downsizing andmaking government
more efficient
•/ “Many of his proposals are some
of the things we’re going to have to do
in state government,” he said.
However, Wehrbein said many is
sues that could potentially affect the
state budget would have to be ap
proved by other subject committees
before the, Appropriations Commit
tee dealt with it.
“We’re going to have to watch and
react,” Wehrbein said.
He said university funding
wouldn’t necessarily be off- limits
when the budget was reviewed.
“I believe higher education is an
investment,” Wehibein said. “But they
need to understand they’re going to
need to make strong use of their dol
lars.”
The Appropriations Committee
isn’t scheduled to present the budget
until the 70th day of the speaker’s
agenda, which will be April 27 if no
changes are made to the schedule.
“We’ll go through the budget very
methodically and thoroughly,”
Wehrbein said.
1995 Session
Continued from Page 1
Legislature’s Health and Human Ser
vices Committee, is proposing his
own government restructuring of the
state’s health-care system.
Wesely wants to put the majority
of health-care programs at the state
level under only the Department of
Health.
“We want to bring the pieces to
gether to make the system more effi
cient,” Wesely said.
He said other proposals that would
come out of his committee would deal
with adoption, child care, a ban on
smoking in public places and wel
fare.
“(Welfare) will be the most hard
fought bill we will deal with,” Wesely
said, “very emotional, very impor
tant”
In addition to the budget and the
governor’s proposals on income tax
and crime, Wesely said property taxes
could be a big issue again this session.
Sen. Roger Wehrbein of
Plattsmouth added a gas tax to pay for
state highway programs to the list of
big issues the Legislature will deal
with.
Wehrbein, who was elected chair
man of the Appropriations commit
tee, said the proposed 2.5-cent-per
gallon increase in the gas tax would
be necessary if Nebraskans want to
continue to have quality roads.
