Bercey announces candidacy
Don Bercey on Thursday announced his candi
dacy for the 1st District congressional seat now
held by Rep. Doug Bereuter.
Bercey, a self-employed consultant and recruiter
who finds employees for corporations, said he
wants to bring a "humanistic approach" to the
office.
He said he wants to run for the angry people
who don't believe that elected officials represent
them. He said Bereuter h running "for the few."
"He (Bereuter) doesn't represent me," Bercey
said. "That's why I'm running."
Bercey said people are angry because they are
afraid afraid that they'll lose everything, that
their children won't be healthy, that they can't
afford college or that they will lose their jobs, he
said.
Bercey said his son is stationed in Lebanon, and
that he supports the decision to pull the troops
out of the country.

Voting encouraged
By Mllli Kin
Of the 47 million unregistered voters in the United
States, 14 million are between the ages of 18 and 24.
In 1980, 16 million eligible 18- to 24-year-olds did
not vote. .
Heidi Burklund, UNL voter registration chairper
son, attended the National Student Conference on
Voter Registration, sponsored by the UJS. Student
Association and Student Public Interest Research
Groups,
More than 1,600 student leaders from 48 states
attended the three-day conference Feb. 10-12 at
Harvard College, Boston, Mass.
Burklund said the conference spread the organiz
ing efforts for voter registration to new campuses
throughout the country. The conference also helped
students' lejarn the skills to conduct voter registra
tion drives and organize students, she said.
Finally, the conference used workshops to share
strategies to maximize the impact of campus regis
tration drives and urge students to vote, Burklund
said. . v; (--
Burklund said the workshop stressed the fact
that students can affect the outcome of elections. ;
Democratic presidential candidates Jesse Jack
son and George McGovern were guest speakers at
the conference. .
Jackson said special interest groups such as
blacks, women and Hispanics should not re-elect
President Reagan because he has not done anything
for them; Burklund -said. ,
" . . '',..?
"Jackson said it should be as easy to register to
vote as it is to register for the draft," Burklund said.
Burklund said she hopes to double the number of
students registering to vote by having campus groups
help with the drive.
Voter registration at UNL will be March 20 through
22 in the Nebraska Union from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., and
East Union from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Registration
requests from home towns also will be available,
Burklund said. .
A student must be at least 18 years old'and an
American citizen to register to vote. Students also
may register at the Election Commissioner's office in
the; City-County building, 555 S. 10th St., Monday
