Groups push to register voters

something Bankston recommended
"Students spend four years of their lives here, and the money that gets allocated here makes a difference in our lives," she said.
Alpha Kappa Alpha, a historically African-American sorority, also will sponsor a registration drive Monday through Wednesday at Wesco Beach.
"We primarily decided to do it because of apathy, not only with students but within the Black community toward voting for anything, whether it's for president or whatever," said Eve Lane, Alpha Kappa Alpha president.
She said that they would not specifically target minorities, but that registering minority voters was a focus of their effort.
The All-Scholarship Hall Council also is persuading scholarship hall residents to register to vote.
Hayley Rumback, ASHC senator, said she was coordinating a registration and advanced voting drive in the form of a competition between halls.
"We're still settling what the prize is going to be," Rumbback said. "If all of the forms get returned, that would be a pretty big turnout and just be outstanding."

City offers several locations to register
Students who don't register to vote through a campus registration drive still have a lot of options, with several registration sites located around Lawrence.
Some sites include the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St.; any Lawrence post office; and City Hall, e.E. Sixth St. Students can also contact the Douglas County Clerk's office, and it will mail them a voter-registration card.
Jo Daquest, deptuy Douglas County clerk, said yesterday that about 47,700 active voters were registered in Douglas County. She said there was no way for the office to know how many of those were students because the registration process did not require disclosing occupation.
Students who have registered to vote in a different county or state are eligible to register in Douglas County, Dalquest said. Registering
in Douglas County would cancel a previous registration, she said.
Students who have voted in previous elections do not need to re-register, Dalquest said, unless they have moved.
"If your address changed at all, even moving to a different dorm room, state law requires re-registering." Dalquest said.
