tne American iegion.
In recognition of the orrasion
Nebraska's Gov. Val Peterson of-
iicially proclaimed Monday,

scribed the campaign as an in
vestment in "our two greatest as
sets our youth and our agriculture."

Used to house the manv nnrtiri-
pants in youth and agricultural
activities who meet in Lincoln,
such as the annual 4-H Club
UN Clinics Lauded tops
Week and Cornhusker Boys' and
uins Mate.
Now being designed by Univer
sity of Nebraska architects, the
proposed structure will be de
signed to accommodate 400 guests,
the announcement revealed. Con
struction will be such that both
boys and girls can be cared for
simultaneously, in separate wings,
according to the plans. Included
in the building will be a spacious
auditorium, offices, storage space
and everything else needed to
make the structure of utmost use,
it was predicted.

to house and feed boys and girls
from outstate is now partially
converted into a Student Union

dents.

Vital programs of vouth and ag
ricultural groups have been seri
ously handicapped by the lack of
such a buildinc. officials said.
With a central headquarters for
an state activities, leaders antici
pate new growth and strength in
youth and agricultural activities.
Constant use of the building is
indicated by the lare number of
organizations who will be offered

coln or athletic tournaments, mu
sical festivities and other pro
grams will be cared for, Legion
