The voice on the other end of the telephone line is soft
and warm and exudes a friendliness not' expected from an
answering machine.
When Eric Youngerg, city council member, says he's
sorry he's not home and will return, your call, you tend to
believe him.
Youngberg, 29, is the youngest member ever to serve
the council. He defeated incumbent Steven Cook for the
northwest district seat last May. The district includes the
UNL campus.
Throughout his campaign, Youngberg pledged to try
and get more people involved with city politics. One of his
goals, he said is geared toward minority and student
representation.
The way to get these groups involved is to show them
their concerns are being dealt with, he said.
One student
Youngberg's background is well suited for tackling the
task. He recieved his bachelor's degree from Unl in
Sociology and Urban studies. He has completed course
work toward a masters in community and regional
planning.
Since he was elected he said that only one student has
contacted him since he took office.
However, the lack of student input could be the result of
school ending three days after he took ofSce, he said.
By showing students he is taking care of them
politically, he said he hopes they will become more
involved in local government. "
. He has helped pass legislation acquiring beer gardens
behind two Lincoln bars and bicycle routes, be said.
He said he also supports increased funding of public
transportation, the construction of bycycle lanes on roads.
These are the type of things that will affect students, he
said.' -
And, he said he is working on a proposal that will
require all buildings in the city to have storm windows.
Minority concern
This will affect the amount of utilities students and the
community will have to pay, he said.
Studenrproblems, while a big concern for Youngberg
are not his major concern, he said. The most important "
concern he has is with minority representation, he add, ,
even though the student population is much Urgtr than '
the minority population.
"The students are, of their own choosing, a lesser part
the eommunity," he said. If students become more
vocal and involved, he wm become more involved with
student concerns, he said."- -
During the May election about 60 votes were cast from
around the UNL dty campus area, he said.
This low turnout could be the result of students not
realizing that it is to their advantage to vote he said.
Community activity
One reason for this antipathy is because most students
are transient, he said. No matter where a student lives he
said, he should consider that place his community and
become a part of its activities.
Many people consider his ideas and political thinking
liberal, he said, but he does not like to be labeled.
"I don't like labels because the public doesn't always
understand them," he said.
If he must be labeled, he said he prefers to be called
progressive, someone who is in favor of moderate change.
Getting the dty council to go along with some of his
proposed changes could be difficult, but, he said, he is
optimistic about the changes.
Mayor conflicts
. "I am always optimistic about future change," he said. "It
is important to have optimistic leaders. It is important not -to
just criticize but also have some viable alternatives."
Referring to conflicts between the Mayor Helen Boosalis
and the past council, Youngberg said the tables are now
turned instead of having five anti-mayor council members
and two pro-mayoral members ft is just the opposite, he
said.
The atmosphere of the dty council is no longer as
antagonistic as it once was.
Council members disagree with each other but they do ft
in a considerate manner, he said.
