will be working for Anderson.
He said he couldn't estimate how much support there
is on campus from the petition drive to put Anderson on
the ballot, because people who voted in the primary were
not allowed to sign the petition. He said he expects help
from many who voted for Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Davison said that Reagan has a fair amount of support
on campus.
"He doesn't have as much support on campus as he
does state-wide" Davison said, "but he's doing allright."
David Hahn, president of the Nebraska State Young
Democrats, said he didn't expect his group to get in
volved with the presidential campaign.

issues, and that Lincoln Young Democrats would be

Local Legion post tops nation in membership
Lincoln is the home of the nation's largest legion post,
according, to figures released last week.
With 7,484 members, Lincoln Post No. 3 outnumbered
the Minneapolis, Minn, entry by 492 members. The
Lincoln group had been the world's largest from 197Q77
but lost the title to Minneapolis in 1978 and 1979.
The American Legion, the largest veterans
organization, has approximately 2.7 million members in
29 countries with about 64,000 members, in Nebraska.
According to Bob Craig, public relations director for
Nebraska Legionnaires, being in the mid-country patriotic
belt" helped make the Lincoln post the largest.
AH the Midwest area of the country is a strong area
regarding their country and patriotism. Over the years
there probably have been a number of Nebraskans who
have made a career in the military and when they re
tire, they settle here, Craig said.
Known for their marching units, Nebraska Legionnaires
actively sponsor many youth and education programs,
including the Boys State program, which brings approxi
mately 400 boys to UNL every summer to learn how state
government works, he said.

It also sponsors a state-wide high school oratorical con
test, Scouting scholarships, "Get Out the Vote"
campaigns, and many educational programs.
In addition, American Legion baseball in Nebraska
attracts nearly 5,000 boys every year, Craig said.
Lincoln Post No. 3 donated the flag pole at Pershing
Auditorium and the eternal flame memorial on the Cen
tennial Mall also.
An active supporter of veterans' rights and benefits,
the American Legion spearheaded legislation that "turned
out to be the American GJ. Bill of Rights," Craig said.
The Legionnaires also sponsor the Junior Law Cadet
program, a week-long training program presented annually
at Lincoln Air Park. The coed training program includes
operating radar equipment and mastering high
performance driving, Craig said. The Nebraska group was
the first in the nation to start such a program in 1966.
To be a member of the American Legion, a veteran
must have been on active duty during any of the following
periods: April, 1917 - November, 1919 (World War 1
Dec. 7, 1941 - Dec. 31, 1946 (World War II); June 25,
1950 1950 - Jan. 31, 1955 (Korean War); Dec. 22, 1961
(the date of the first American fatality in Vietnam) - May
7, 1975.
Craig pointed out approximately 800,000 members are
Vietnam war veterans. Craig said "We're growing. There
has been a very steady gain ever since the Korean war."
