Leaning to Rockefeller Puts CYR Head in Rift
By Rick Mabbutt
The chairman of the Kansas Collegiate Young Republicans (CYR) said in an interview last night the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) are trying to dismiss him because he is too liberal for their tastes.
Merle Gates, a student at Wichita University and state chairman of the CYR, charged that their attempts to force him to resign or have him dismissed by the state CYR groups was motivated by their support of Sen. Barry Goldwater, whereas he has mentioned as having an interest in Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York.
Gates was a house guest of John D. Rockefeller IV in September, but he termed it a social visit. Gates served as a host for Rockefeller when the latter visited Wichita last March on Peace Corps business.
"I'M NOT WORRIED about their attempt to get me though; they can't do it." Gates said.
YAF's alleged reason for their attempt to dismiss him was his action following his resignation from the Sedgwick County sheriff's office, where he was formerly employed, Gates explained.
Following his resignation, Gates made statements critical of Sheriff H. M. Tomlinson's operation of the office.
"The whole sheriff's office is a mess. He (Sheriff Tomilson) ran on the Republican ticket, but he left about 90 per cent of the Democrats in the sheriff's office," he said.
Because of Gates' critical comments, Marion Scholl, a Kansas State student, introduced a resolution asking Gates to resign or face dismissal from the CYR. Schroll's action came at a chapter meeting of the CYR at K-State last Thursday.
However, at that meeting Jerry Kohler, editor of the "Collegian, KSU student newspaper, alleged the resolution was brought to the campus by two leaders in the YAF, a national conservative organization.
Fred Coldren, national director of YAF, and Fred Steffens, executive secretary for the Kansas YAF, were the two men referred to by Kohler.
Schroll's resolution, which was tabled by the group, charged that Gates' actions were not in agreement with the expectations of CYR officers and embarrassed the Kansas State club, and could be considered grounds for dismissal or resignation.
Kansas State is the YAF stronghold in the state and if they could not pass the resolution there, YAF is not going to have much success on other campuses, Gates said.
The chairman of the CYR at Fort Hays State College refused to even call a meeting to discuss a similar resolution which Coldren and Steffens presented there Friday.
KU-Y Committee Plans Mock Senate
The steering committee of the Freshman Model Senate of the KUY scheduled a mock senate for Feb. 21-22.
The 14 members present also approved the following as goals for this year's program:
- Educating themselves on issues that might arise before the U.S. Senate.
- Studying the methods of drafting legislation.
- Learning the workings of the U.S. Senate
The steering committee will launch a campaign Dec.4 to encourage participation in the mock senate.
The CYR groups at Wichita University and KU will not discuss any dismissal resolution either, Gates predicted.
"Jerry Dickson (national Collegeate YR chairman and a former leader in the KU CYR club) is my cousin, so I'm pretty strong here at KU," Gates said.
"There must be a diversity of political viewpoints among members of the CYR, but no faction should try to make their views the views of the rest of the group," Kohler said.

The results of the action of the CYR groups at KSU and Ft. Hays State College indicate that the YAF faction does not control the state organization, Gates concluded.
KU women will have an opportunity to pick up the latest tips on basketball from an expert at a basketball clinic at 8 tonight in Robinson Gymnasium.
KU Women to Hear Tips on Basketball
The clinic, sponsored by the Women's Physical Education Majors Club, will feature Mrs. Lucile Davidson, physical education instructor at South Raytown Junior High School, South Raytown, Mo. A former KU graduate, Mrs. Davidson played on the Pan American women's basketball team which tourned Russia in 1955.
Women attending the clinic are asked to come dressed for play.
