Travis Heymg/DN Chuck Hagel, a rebublican candidate for the U.S. Senate, gets ready to sign his papers to officially enter the race Tuesday morning in Secratary of state Scott Moore’s office. agel Continued from Page 1 wouldn’t be going to Washington empty-handed. “I want to take my Nebraska values, my military, government and business experience to the United States Senate and put it to work on behalf of Nebraskans,” he said. Hagel served one year in Viet nam and was wounded twice while in the Army. In 1981-82 he served under President Ronald Reagan as deputy administrator of the Veterans Aa ministration. Hagel also served as President George Bush’s chief operating of ficer at the 1990 economic summit in Houston. “Well, I think one of the obvious di {Terences between my primary and general opponents is what we’ve done with our lives,” he said in an interview. “I’m the only one who has served in the military, I am the only one to have served under a president, and this is my first time to run for office. “That makes my judgment dif ferent. There is a big difference in how you put it all together.” Hagel cited his position on agri culture as the biggest policy differ ence between him and Stenberg. While he said he supported the current farm bill, he said it wasn’t perfect. “But it allows for farmers, for the first time in 60 years, to get out from under the intrusiveness of gov ernment,” he said. “The future of our farmers, and our ranchers, and our small businesses is not .more :___ "-_—em~ ' - government. “The future is growth, the future ismarkets, the future is gettinggov emment off their backs.” Also, Hagel said that his busi ness experience as President of McCarthy & Co., an investment banking firm in Omaha, would al low him to address some economic issues in Washington, such as bal ancing the budget and cutting gov ernment spending—with a differ ent viewpoint. “I come at it with more credibil ity,” he said. “I’ve done that with my business. I haven’t dealt with political things, I’ve dealt with real things.” Hagel appeared in Columbus, Grand Island and Beatrice on Tues day and planned on campaigning in Norfolk, North Platte, McCook and; Scottsbluff later today. ASUN candidates begin debates By Todd Anderson Staff Reporter The two presidential candidates in this year’s ASUN election began their first debate Tuesday by signing an ^ , _ agreement to limit ’ _ _ ] campaign spending ACIIM to $2,000 and to dis wmm close all expenses. UNL’s Colle giate 4-H Club sponsored the As sociation of Stu dents of the Univer sity of Nebraska s debate, held in the _ East Union. OFFICE party presidential candidate Justin Firestone proposed and signed the agreement, which ACTION party presidential can didatc Eric Marintzer also signed. Firestone emphasized his goal of changing student government by elimi nating the “good oF boy system.” “I know that student government is not representing all students,” he said. “It’s time to reclaim student govern ment. This is the year. This is the chance for students.” Ormaun Lewis, ACTION party can didate for College of Business Admin istration senator, said some of the most important issues facing East Campus students were the services provided by the Activities Building. He suggested improving equipment and organizing more intramural sports. Both parties agreed that parking was a problem on both campuses and suggested installing more meters and continuing plans for the parking ga rage on City Campus. v Brendan Bussman, campaign man ager for the OFFICE party, said tech nology on East Campus was also an issue for his party. He also suggested that the university should provide Internet access in Love Hall. Improving safety also was dis cussed. Amy Rager, campaign manager for the ACTION party, said there were areas on campus where people didn’t always feel safe. Both parties’ candidates supported improving lighting in certain areas and increasing education and awareness of safety issues on campus. “One attack is an attack too many,” Rager said. The next ASUN debate will be Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 8 p.m. in the Nebraska Union. Law & Order A man wielding a tire iron was arrested Monday after he broke into his former wife’s home and hit her over the head, Lincoln police said. According to police reports, Mary Whitaker, 36, of the 3400 block of Portia Street, told police that her former husband, Wordie Wright, called her and said he was going to hurt her. Wright, 46* lives at 5019 Goldenrod St. At 10:21 p.m., Wright tried toget in the door, but Whitaker wouldn’t let him in, police said. He then allegedly kicked the door down and attacked her. The victim’s 16-year-old daughter tried to keep Wright away, but he man aged to hit his former wife in the head once, according to police reports. A block away, Wright was picked up by police as he was getting out of a van, carrying the tire iron in the front of his pants. Police arrested Wright on charges of second-degree assault, carrying a concealed weapon and burglary.

These included creating bay windows for dining areas on the north side of the union and fur ther elevating the proposed stage area in the new plaza. Swanson said the budget for union expansion also was $512,000 more than the ap proved level. The board discussed possible cuts in planning to decrease the spending amount and possible additional sources of income to fund the expansion. ASUN President Shawntell Hurtgen said she was concerned about the amount students would pay in student fees to fund the expansion. She suggested using profits from a proposed union conve nience store to alleviate a $20 student fee increase.
