Student activism on rise

Political campaigning by college students may be making a comeback after several years of dormancy, several national campaign or organizers yesterday.
They attributed the upwearing in political involvement to the possibility of the reinstatement of the draft, and the recent emphasis on international events.
"Student activism is starting to come awe again. David Towell, state coordinator for the Haitian Red Cross, said Student involvement has been slack for a couple of years, but I have seen a lot of positive change."
Doak said that although Carter's headquarters in Kansas had been in operation for only eight days, he already knew it would be from students volunteering to campaign.
He said that in Iowa, where he campaigned extensively, and in Maine, student political activism was very good. It is a grass roots movement he said.
Student groups are organizing in 30 to 35 states, according to George Bush campaign coordinators and Michigan coordinators said students in California, Texas, Ohio and Michigan. Organizations in New York have joined.
"Students are excellent campaigners, they have more time and energy," David Birkowitz, Douglas County Democratic candidate. "Older people just are less enthusiastic."
And because of a Federal Elections Commission rule limiting candidates' spending to $18 million, student volunteers are an attractive source of political money.
Berkowitz said that a large percentage of political campaigners were students this year, but that it was too early to say whether students were more involved.
He said the introduction of a primary system in Kansas made comparison to political activity in 1976 difficult.
"It is a little like comparing apples and oranges. I think there are fewer people who have been involved in the caucuses in 1976, but I suspect they were different at the level of experience." Berkowitz wrote.
But students are campaigning heavily for Republican presidential candidate John Anderson, according to his Kansas camaign organizer, Mary Lou Humphrey.
However, Humphry said she did not know whether other campaigns were generating the same amount of student participation.
"All I know is that my phone rings off the hook all day," Humphrey said. "We've got a really dedicated force."
However, Mark McClanahan, KU director of Concerned Students for Higher Education, said KU student voter registration was "ridiculously low."
"Students are enthusiastic and perceptive—they discount all the elections hype and see through the five-minute commercials."
CSHE, Associated Students of Kansas, and other political organizations are beginning a voter registration drive on the KU campus tomorrow.
"Whenever anything comes along that affects students then they'll get out and vote," McClanahan said. "But otherwise getting them out to vote is like piling

He said that although the draft issue and the prospect of a 21-year drinking age on a state level was "stirring students up," the information had been stagnant in recent years.
"We hope to strengthen our voice in the legislature," McClanahan said. "Right now we aren't a threat."
