Demo Post Filled
The KU Collegiate Young Democrats (CYD), unofficially announced yesterday that a KUCYD member has been appointed as a representative to the Douglas County Democrat Central Committee.
Bruce Cook, Newton junior, will represent the KU Democrats at the Douglas County meetings, and will report between the two organizations, Bob VanCleave, Kansas City senior and president of the KU-CYD, said.
COOK, WHO WAS asked to accept the position Tuesday, said his appointment may be part of an overall drive to "unite the Kansas Democratic party.
"IT WILL BE A coordination between our club with the Douglas County Central Committee," Cook said.
"I will be working with Dr. Richard Nelson (Douglas County Central Committee chairman) and will sit in on their meetings. When they need workers, we'll help them, and when we need help they will help us, both financially and otherwise," Cook said.
"It will start uniting the Democratic groups instead of having them all spread out in different areas," he said.
Cook speculated that his appointment also may have been a move on VanCleave's part to rebuild interest in the club after
the resignation of the club's former president, George Groneman, Kansas City senior.
IT WILL GIVE younger party members a chance to work with more experienced Democrats during election campaigns and benefit drives. Cook said.
"It will open the door and give more students the chance to work for the party. The KU-CYDs do not have enough work for the members to do, while the Douglas County Central Committee has more work than workers," he said.
Dr. Nelson, a Lawrence physician, said he had talked to VanCleave about coordinating the two clubs and approved the appointment.
"IT WILL GET OUR Douglas County Central Committee on the ball better." Dr. Nelson said.
Coordinating the elubs will help get local Democrats more interested in party work because of the enthusiasm of the KU-CYDs, Nelson added.

WARNING TO PATRIOTS
"If you are ever going to buy a gun, buy it now. Communist organizations that usually have good sources of information are expecting Johnson to be next president and Hubert Humphrey to be the next vice-president. Once this election is over they expect to be able to operate openly without any government interference whatsoever" ("On Target" April 1, 1964, page 1 & 2)
