chance to increase social awareness at Lincolnfest-78.
Maturing from "Lincoln Center Goes Hog Wild"
Thursday nights of the past two years, Lincolnfest-78 will
be a three-day festival expected to draw crowds ten
thousand strong.

LINCOLN GRAND ISLAND OMAHA
I'm an Air Force officer and this is my
sweet chariot When I visit home people
are happy to see me. And proud. They
say I'm doing my part in the community
by showing the young people and the
adults that you really can make it. You
really can get your share of A Great
Way of Life
I also feel good about my position in the
Air Fixpe community I'm a leader there,
too I'm someone the other brothers
and sister l meet in the service can
iook to And it reassures them to know
they have a vOtee in Air Force matters
that concern them
The Air Force needs more leaders . . .
pilots aircrew members . . math
majors . science and engineering ma
jors You might be one of them, and the
best way to find that out is in an Air
Force ROTC program There are two,
and four-year programs Scholarship
and non-scholarship Why not look into
all of them and see if one fits your
plans'' It's worth fl. brother

78, and everyone Is invited to try their talents in the
disco dance contest.
For the sports-minded
And for the more sports-minded, the streets of Lincoln
Will be filled Saturday morning by runners in the 20
kilometer track marathon.
The fest will be kicked off with the traditional por)c
feed, Thursday night, feeding over 9,000 people. The pork
feed is free but there is a $1 charge for a hugeTurkey and
Cheese Omelet Feed Friday night.
Perhaps one of the biggest events is the bed race on
15th Street in front of Pershing Auditorium Saturday
morning, including entries by several political figures,
retail stores and Greek houses.
Lincolnites will also get a chance to test their tennis
skills against both youngsteres and celebrities in the Meet-The-Pro's
Tennis Matches held all day Saturday at 15th
and O streets.
Hope for more awareness
Tami Mohlman, administrative assistant for the LCA,
said she hopes everyone will become more aware of the
fact that Lincoln has become nationally, and internationally-known
for "the beautification and redevelopment
efforts put into effect by concerned businessmen,
property owners and the city alike.
Holding Lincolnfest-78 in the heart of Lincoln gives us
(Lincoln) a chance to show we were not sluggish in
making improvements to the inner city like so many other
cities were, thereby avoiding so many problems that are
threatening downtowns, and therefore citizens of the
entire city."
