Regent files complaint over opponent s flier BY VERONICA DAEHN NU Regent Drew Miller said he doesn’t think the other side is playing fairly in the 4th District Board of Regents race. Miller, from Papillion, has filed two complaints against his opponent, John BYeslow, who won May’s primary election with almost twice the number of votes Miller received. A brochure passed out at the Otoe County Fair in Syracuse alleges Miller is “pro-abortion” because he supports fetal tissue research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. “That illegal brochure com pared me to Nazi Germany," Miller said. Miller said he was anti-abor tion rights and that the brochure contained unfair lies. No name appeared on the brochure disclosing who paid For or distributed it, he said. Breslow did not return phone calls to the Daily Nebraskan. Miller filed a complaint against Breslow with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission. The commission requires names be put on material asso ciated with campaigns. Frank Daley, executive direc tor of the disclosure commis sion, confirmed Miller filed a complaint, but said he wouldn’t give any other information about it. Miller said complaint was still pending. More brochures alleging Miller was pro-abortion circu lated several weeks ago. Metro Right to Life, an anti-abortion rights group in Omaha, passed out brochures at the Nebraska State Fair. The brochure calls Breslow a “friend of pro-life” who will “vote to stop using aborted baby body parts for research” at UNMC. It also says Miller is “pro abortion.” The brochure says he voted to keep partial-birth abortion provider Leroy Carhart on the faculty at UNMC. Carhart is an honorary vol unteer faculty member who has supplied UNMC with aborted fetuses for research. Joe Rowson, NU spokesman, said the Board of Regents did not vote on Carhart’s appointment and said members never vote on honorary faculty members. Bob Blank, president of Metro Right to Life, said his group was not supporting only Breslow. It is their responsibility, as a political action committee, to endorse all candidates who are “That illegal brochure compared me to Nazi Germany. ” Drew Miller NU regent anti-abortion rights, he said. “It's not a personal thing at all,” Blank said. “Miller needs to stop name-calling and address the issue as every pro-life group wants him to." Blank said voters think Miller’s stance on abortion is wrong. That’s why Breslow won the primary election by such a margin, he said. Blank saw Miller’s anti-abor tion “pro-life” philosophy as a convenient tag. “Being pro-life at election time is like being Irish on St. Patrick’s Day,” Blank said. “For him to continue to try to play pro-life is ridiculous.” Miller also filed a complaint with the Secretary of State’s office, asking it to look into Breslow’s residency. Miller said Breslow spends a lot of time in Arizona, and when he made a campaign donation, he listed his address as Scottsdale, Ariz. The Secretary of State’s office dismissed the complaint because it needed to be filed 20 days after Breslow filed for office. Landscaping NU a year-round job Sharon Kolbet/DN UNL Landscape Services employee Korey Klaus unloads mulch in the new courtyard east of Oldfather Hall. Klaus said this year s drought has kept the landscapers especially busy. U^CECI^E from page 1 “There are bits and pieces of land all over the campus,” he said. At the nursery, workers grow mostly trees and shrubs, he said. When the first “killing freeze” hits in mid-October and ends the planting season, Landscape Services prepares to remove snow, Baird said. Landscape Services is responsible for keeping the cam pus running during the winter, Hensarling said. Besides clearing away snow, crews repair equipment, trim dead limbs from trees and build benches and trash receptacles, he said. Landscape Services crew members are still enthusiastic about their work, even though they are always busy, Hensarling said. “It’s a great time to be here with all the fall colors,” he said. teamlogogear.com featuring offically licensed “logo” merchandise for GREEK - COLLEGE • PRO ^ <clothifig-candles-pajamas-flags-backpacks blankets-luggage-caps-tailgate party gear jeweliy & many more hard-to-find “log”items All New: All Yours: All Free y of Nebraska R.J.

Norton also serves as a mem ber of the Board of Trustees at the Freedom Forum, a First amend ment advocacy foundation, in Arlington, Va. “He didn’t come to us; we came to him,” Farrar said. Norton is also known at South Carolina because he served as chairman of a journal ism education accreditation team that reviewed the college a few years ago, Farrar said. “He brings a lot to the table,” Farrar said. The University of South Carolina’s journalism college includes public relations, adver tising, electronic and print jour nalism, he said. UNL’s includes advertising, broadcasting and news-editorial sequences. If Norton leaves, it isn’t a reflection of the journalism pro gram at UNL, said Laurie Thomas Lee, a broadcasting professor. Thomas Lee said she would n’t comment on what effect Norton’s departure could have on the college because it was too premature. “He’s just a candidate right now,” she said. Charlyne Berens, news-edi torial professor and department chairwoman, said Norton’s lead ership skills have helped build the journalism college at UNL. “He’s done a lot of good things here to improve what’s already a good program,” Beren said. Berens said she thought thi programs would remain stron] if Norton departed. Norton has yet to make an; decisions or commitments Berens stressed. “Being a finalist is not th< same thing as having accepted« job,” she said.

Before Mataya’s opened last November, all of the city’s strip clubs were covered by liquor laws. Camp said that this conduct was a touchy area to govern because citizens’ attitudes are varied. "We have to find what is offensive to the community and its sense of values. Then try to regulate it in a healthy way,” Camp said. Both the original ordinance and the revised version, which took effect in May, have beep challenged in U.S. District Court as overly broad and unclear. The lawsuit challenging the original ordinance is slated for trial Oct. 2 and 3. A trial date has not been set for the second fed eral suit. Roper said the city is defend ing both ordinances, even though the first one was repealed, to determine a consti tutional way to regulate this conduct. “We need to see which one the 81*1 Circuit (Court of Appeals) likes, and if they don’t like either, we need to know hov to craft an ordinance that woulc be constitutional,” Roper said. ■ NO APPOINTMENTS NEEDED! 117th AN St 476-9466 I OIL CHANGE SERVICE! ■ includes: I*Oil. oil filter, up to 5 qts oil •Lubrication of zerk fittings •Check & fill automatic transmission, power ■ steering, washer fluid. •Check & fill tire pressure I*Check antifreeze, air filter wiper blades •Vacuum interior •Wash windows ■ I Open: Mon-Fri 8 to 6 _ Sat ■ 8-4 ^ 'Environmental Disposal Fee Indtided I Coupon expires December 30,2000 hnumiMni I \ ti m r $i" i fr * ^ ^ * Dry Clean City Donate your blood plasma on most dry clean garments | ' J to help save kids lives NO LIMIT i 56th & Hwy. 2 Earn $30 Cash I with coupon (behind Kmart) (for approx. 2 hours of your time). j exp. 10/15/00 * 328-8444 Call or stop by: Nabi Biomedical Center, I QQH 300 S. 17th Street, Lincoln . ^ 7 \\ 402-474-2335 ' Laundred Fees * donation time may vary Call for details.
