By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
Students for Hart, a KU campus organization, has more than doubled its membership since Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart surprised the country with a victory Tuesday in the New Hampshire primary.
country with a THOMAS LONG, president of Students for Hart, said that 25 of the 30 to 40 student volunteers called him to help in the Hart campaign after Hart defeated former Vice President Walter Mondale and the other five Democratic contenders.
President Walter Boulder and Clifford Ketzel, Douglas County coordinator for Hart's campaign and professor of political science, said, "The phone has figuratively been ringing off the hook with people who have suddenly discovered Mr. Hart."

Ketzel said the Douglas County campaign had been delayed until Hart had proven to be a contender, but would start now because of the New Hampshire victory.

Long, Overland Park junior, said that because of the victory, Students for Hart would conduct a telephone campaign in addition to their planned door-to-door campaign scheduled for March 13 through 23.
The Douglas County caucus will be March 24. In the five days before the caucus Hart Volunteers will call registered Democratic voters who have indicated a preference for Hart
Students have formed another Democratic campus group for Sen. John Glenn of Ohio, who finished third in the New Hampshire primary. In Lawrence, campaign groups have been set up for other Democratic presidential candidates, including Glenn, Mondale and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. The state convention is in May.

Long said Students for Hart wouldn't concentrate on getting students to vote for Hart.
Hart.
"They don't vote. That's a weird thing to say because Hart is trying to appeal to voters in the 18-29 range. That's what pushed him over the top in New Hampshire," Long said.
"You think, there are 20,000 students at KU — there's got to be a whole lot of Democrats. But first they've got to be registered, and that's a miracle."
"If you go to the students, you're going to find they're not registered; and if they are, they're not registered Republican or Democrat — they're just registered independent; and if they are registered as Democrats, they aren't registered anywhere near Douglas County."

In the Douglas County caucus, voters must be registered as Democrats in the county. Long said he was trying to get Democrats who were registered in other counties to register at the Douglas County Courthouse.
countries to register for UTEP. ALTHOUGH STUDENTS for Hart volunteers will not campaign on campus, Long said they would reach the KU students registered as Democrats by canvassing student housing neighborhoods.
"We'll have lists, we'll know how to find them," he said. He'd had a computer Hurt because Had had new ideas
Long said his interest in politics came from his Democratic parents, and from elementary school teachers who graduated from college in the late 1960s.
Long said he supported Hart because Hart has new ideas. "He looks realistically at the present, rather than at the glorious past of the Democratic party — which is great for the history books but isn't going to do a damn bit of good in the election." Long said.
