Eleven workshops were conducted Friday an J Satur
day as part of the 1983 Big Eight Conference on Black
Student Government.
"Blacks and the Legal System" was directed by Lincoln
Attorney John Robinson.
"Historically, lawyers were in almost 3ll cases white,"
Robinson said. He said it was difficult for blacjc lawyers
to establish credibility," especially to blacks themselves."
Robinson described problems that face all lawyers.
"You have to be completely emotionally removed
from their (clients') problems," he said. "That becomes
difficult."
Education and racism in America was the topic dis
cussed at a workshop led by Matthew Stelly, a graduate
student in the UN L sociology department.
Stelly said Nebraska is "the most racist and segre
gated state in the union."
"Ninety-five percent of the blacks in this state live
in an 8 square-mile area," he said.

Stelly said the median income for blacks in this stale
is S7,(X0.
"For those of you who rely on white assistance, bleed
them for everything you can," he said.
The Rev. John Wesley Brown presented "Black Spirit
uality, 3nd the role of the black church.
"Most of our churches came out of Methodism,"
Brown said.
"The black church w as born out of racism imprinted
on them out of the Protestant movement,' he said. The
religious discipline was retained, but the black church
"moved away in spiritual being."
"The black church feels it is part of the divine purpose
to exist," Brown said. "It (the church) feels we are to be
set apart."
Three professional women discussed problems and
gave advice on woiking towards careers in "Black
Professional Women - the Untapped Gold Mine."
Charlie Moore, cosmetology instructor at Omaha's
Ahhouse School of Beauty , said contributions to her
field made by blacks have gone unnoticed.
"The state board exam, up until two years ago, was
geared toward straight hair," Moore said. She said her
school has been woiking for many years to "make sure
state boards are done fairly and that there is no
discrimination."

Voter registration
begins at unions
By Pat OXeary
The Government Liaison Committee and the Nebraska
State Student Association kick off their third voter
registration drive today in the Nebraska and East unions.
"We feel it's our duty, as a non-partisan political group,
to provide this service," Registration Drive Coordinator
Andy Carothers said.
Mayor Helen Boosalis will highlight the opening day of
registration with a short talk at 2:30 p.m. in the main
lounge of the Nebraska Union. Carothers said.
Students who want to request registration in their
home towns can do so from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., today
through Wednesday. The League of Women Voters will
register students in Lancaster County from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Carothers said.
Last semester, 1 ,237 students registered during the
drive. The goal for this drive is 600 registered students.
"The reason so many registered last semester was the
gubernatorial election," Carothers said. "We're trying to
be realistic with a goal of 600. If we reach that, we'll be
satisfied."
To change registration to Lancaster County, or if this is
first-time registration, the student should bring identifica
tion, preferably a drivers license, Carothers said.
Other campus groups that will help run the booths are
the ASUN Senate, the College Republicans and the Young
Democrats, Carothers said.
"The trend is that more students are becoming
politically concerned because of economic conditions, and
the registration numbers prove it," he said. "I hope the
high numbers continue."
