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.
Thieves stopped to grab a few extra
bucks Sunday night after lifting more
than $ 1,300 of school property at Lin
coln Northeast High School.
A cement block was used to break a
window on a portable on the west side
of the building at 2535 N. 63rd St.

tects by the Architectural Re
view Board.
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.
