Service Council drive urges students to rock the vote BY JILL CONNOR Registering to vote may have never been easier for University of Nebraska Lincoln students. With the help of three different organizations, students can register to vote without even leaving campus. Every year, the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska sponsors a voter registration drive with the aid of the Lancaster County Election Office. This year, with the help of the ASUN Government Liaison Committee, the Service Council - a group of student representatives from student organiza tions and greek chapters - is co-spon soring the drive as part of its UNL Vote 2000 campaign. The registration booths will be in the Nebraska Union on Friday. “Our goal is to hand out 7,000 regis tration cards around campus,” said Laura Hampton, president of the Service Council. UNL Vote 2000 is being held in col laboration with a national campaign put on by Youth Services called Service Vote 2000. Youth Services, a national youth organization, has the goal of get ting more than 10,000 new voters. The Lancaster County election office also will be sponsoring registra tion booths in Neihardt Residence Center today and Friday. Other events on campus in connec tion with the Service Council's UNL Vote 2000 will make it easy for students to vote. Students can attend an Election Day Party at the Nebraska Union. It features free food, speakers and bands celebrat ing Election Day on Nov. 7. Students also can participate in Walk to Vote 2000 on Election Day, where groups will be meeting on cam pus to walk to the Bob Devaney Sports Center to vote at the top of every hour. “It’s starting that lifelong commit ment to be registered and casting your vote,” said David Shively, Lancaster County Election Commissioner. "We want to make registering to “It’s starting that lifelong commitment to be registered and casting your vote. ’’ David Shively _Lancaster County election commissioner vote as easy as we can for students.” Shively said candidates on all levels of government will have an effect on lives of students. Hampton said the issues this year will affect all students - whether they are going into the military or into edu cation. "I think students don’t realize that,” Hampton said. Lindsay Acklie, a sophomore accounting major, said the registration booths on campus would prompt her to register and vote. “I think it’s always easier to do things when there is support,” she said. the daily nebraskan I a news outlet that allows full touching in Lincoln HOMER'S ON SALE Long hailed around the rest of the world for his pioneering dub nights, ground-breaking remixes and his euphoric DJ sets, ‘'Oakenfold has finally added America to his list of conquests.
