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

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.

Coarse lyrics blasting over a rock solid musical epicenter, guitars
that run from hard core machine gun spray to metallic squall
and beyond, all grinding into the groove of the drums and bass.
Think Cypress Hill and House Of Pain meet Helmet on a full
metal stomp. Primer 55 address all that and more with a sound
that unites the intensity of minor threat, the street level passion
of true hip hop and unmistakable metal thunder.

The Januaries
$12.88 CD
All descriptions of the Januaries end up focusing on a key trait:
a simmering sensuality that lies at the core of each song. Their
music possesses all of the qualities found on any great record:
killer melodies, irresistible hooks, passionate performances,
memorable lyrics, soaring rhythms and a tendency to want to
listen to the album all the way through. Not since Barry White
has anyone made such a concerted effort to create music that
works as well in a horizontal position as it does in a vertical one.

success story that includes a #1 modern rock single in "Flagpole
Sitta," an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman,

Stone.

"After two wonderful albums with his cheekily named band the
Negro Problem, the brother from another planet (LA., actually)
delivers a solo debut brimming with wry, joyously tuneful pop
gems. Shall we call this talented oddball the black Burt
Bacharach? The inner-city Brian Wilson? The bastard offspring
of Arthur Lee and Phoebe Snow? Let's- and hope someone's
listening. (A)"
