The addition of 20 more boys
than ever before accepted is
the big change in this year's
Cornhusker Boys State which
will be held on the University
campus June 15-21.
Warren E. Baker of Lincoln,
office manager for Boys
State, says 324 applications
have been accepted for the
18th annual event sponsored
by the American Legion De
partment of Nebraska.
The previous high was 304
and Baker said the total
membership will continue to
climb whenever more facili
ties are made available.
This year's addition is due
to the completion of Burr Hall
the new men's dormitory on
Ag Campus. Still, some 30 ap
plications had to be refused,
High school juniors from all
but four of Nebraska s 93
counties will be in attendance
when the convention opens.
Of the four counties not rep
resented three do not have
American Legion posts.
In membership this year
will be boys from 261 differ
ent towns in the state. This
also is a record.
The boys will again be di
vided Into eight towns making
up two counties. There will
also be two political parties,
the "Federalists" and "Na
tionalists," present.
Earlv in the week elections
will be held to select officers
for state, county and city of
fices. The primary and gen
eral elections take place much
the same as in regular state
and local elections. The boys
sDend much of their time
campaigning and this is one
of the most interesting events
of the week, Baker said.
After the officers have been
selected morning and early
afternoon hours will be spent
debating and working on prob
lems which confront our gov
ernment officers.
This gives the boys a chance i
for traning in citizenship and:
an opportunity to look at cut-.
ferent forms of government, ;
the manager stated. i
This is the real purpose of
Boys State. I
l,ate afternoon and evening j
hours give the boys a chance;
to participate in sports and'
other planned activities.
