Hubert causes CYD split
Hubert Humphrey's nomination for president has apparently caused a split in KU's Collegiate Young Democrats (CYD).
The fall election has placed the CYD in an awkward position. Although the club constitution requires the members to support the national party nominee, it says nothing about actively campaigning for him.
Bob Kolar, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, sophomore and president of KU-CYD, said the club will officially support Humphrey as a matter of party loyalty. Kolar said Humphrey backers will channel their support in the Youth for Humphrey movement recently initiated on campus.
Members of the club gave varied responses when asked if they still supported the party and Humphrey.
He denied any danger to club unity as a result of a split between Humphreyites and members of alternative factions.
One former member, when asked if he would continue working for the party, said, "Bobby was my man, then 'Clean Gene'—but I'll be damned if I'll work for that s.o.b. they nominated in Chicago."
Joan Irvine, Roslyn, N.Y., junior and vice president of the club, said, "Morally I cannot support Humphrey. I strongly support Docking, the state ticket and the party. But not Humphrey."
Bob VanCleave, Kansas City law student and one of the founders of the Kansans for Kennedy movement, said he retained no bitterness from the outcome of the national convention. "I think Humphrey is a dynamic man. Initially I supported Kennedy because of his charisma and political philosophy. When he was killed, I thought a long time and finally decided to throw my support to Humphrey."
Campaign for Nixon planned
KU Youth for Nixon plan a low key fall campaign aimed at unifying and informing students of the qualifications of Republican Presidential hopeful Richard Nixon.
Some house-to-house canvassing and two rallies are also planned, Embry said.
Dennis Embry, Great Bend sophomore and group chairman, said campaign plans are incomplete, but both the Nixon group and the Collegiate Young Republicans (CYR) will distribute posters and bumper stickers supporting Nixon.
Embry, who attended the Republican National Convention in August, said the purpose of the Nixon group is to inform students—not smear the other parties.
The Nixon group operates independently from the CYR. Youth for Nixon hopes to affiliate with the Youth Division of United Citizenship for Nixon-Agnew, a national organization.
Embry said Nixon regards the advice of youth to be essential for a unified country.
Arms shipment
Khartoum (UPI) Military sources in the Sudan said Monday the first segment of a Soviet shipment of fighter planes, tanks, anti-aircraft guns, artillery and radar systems will arrive in Port Sudan next week and go on display next month. Sudan concluded an arms agreement with the Soviets last week.
Soldiers drown
New Delhi, India (UPI) - A search party today probed the rapids of the Kali River in northern Uttar Pradesh state today for 28 soldiers believed killed when their vehicle plunged into the river* Monday. No bodies were found.
"The outcome of the Democratic national convention has not hurt our club," said Kolar. "We've lost a few members but
our membership drive is going excellent. Regardless of presidential preference, one goal unites the club—the re-election of Robert Docking. Docking is a dynamic political figure with whom the youth of the state can identify."
