Among Students, Nader Commands Limited Enthusiasm

"There is tremendous interest in Ralph Nader," Ginn said.

"Ralph Nader is someone people have heard of," agreed Amy C. Offner '01, a member of the Progressive Student Labor Movement (PSLM).

"It surprised me how much interest there is," she said.

But that interest has not translated into mobilization. Ginn has managed to recruit about 30 people for his pro-Nader group.

Of those, only about 10 are active members, estimated Steven H. Milder '04. And of that group, Milder guessed that he was one of only two or three undergraduates.

Upon arriving at Harvard, Milder trekked over to Nader's Somerville office to get a sign for his room. The staff set him up with Ginn's group and got him involved in the campaign, putting up signs and handing out flyers.

Milder, who hails from nearby Needham, expressed surprise that there were not more vocal Nader supporters on campus.
