Voters' league concentrates
on recruiting new members
m r .
The League of Women Voters has
chosen September as their month to tell
citizens about the importance of voting.
Last week Gov. Charles Thone declared
the month of September the Nebraska
League of Women Voters month. Today
Mayor Helen Boosalis will do the same
for the Lincoln-Lancaster League.
During September, the League at its
national, state and local levels will
concentrate on recruiting new members,
said Marlyn Logan, president of the
Lincoln -Lancaster League.
The League of Women Voters is a non
partisan group that promotes active
participation by informed citizens at all
levels of government. The group studies
national, state and local issues and then
tries to educate the public on all aspects
of the issues, Logan said.

According to Mayor Boosalis, the
League plays an important role in
promoting good, responsible government
because members are "willing to dig,
and dig deeply, into the issues. And after
they're done digging, they inform people
of what they've found."
Logan, who also is the Voter Service
Director for the state League, said that the
League grew out of the women's suffrage
movement of the early 1900s. After
women were allowed to vote, all the
women's suffrage groups combined to form
the League of Women Voters.
The League is striving to recruit more
men as members, she said, since its purpose
is to educate all voters, not just women.
But the group's name is an inherent deter
rent to attracting male members, she said.
" Arson big
atUNL
during '81
Arson is big for the
Big Red.
According to the Uni
form Crime Report for
1981, UNL had the second
highest occurence of arson
in the Big Eight, with
16 cases of arson reported
to UNL police.
The cases of arson ranged
from lit materials thrown
down garbage chutes in
residencxhalls to an in
cident when someone tried
to ignite a stack of books
in Love Library.
Lt. John Burke of the
UNL Police Department
said people who commit
arson usually don't realize
the consequences of their
actions.
Burke said pyromania,
an irrestable urge to start
fires, and revenge are often
the causes of arson, but
negligence also starts fires.
UNL Police spokesman
Bob Fey said arson figures
fluctuate from year to year,
as do all the UCR statistics,
and this report's high arson
figure does not necessarily
indicate a trend.
Fey said the only crime
listed in the UCR that
decreased at UNL was
burglary. There were 120
cases of burglary in 1980
compared to 105 in 1981,
he said.
