GOP Standing Young Republican Topic
By Irvana Keagy
The mama and papa elephants may have stumbled in the last election,but the younger pachyderms are assuming that not all is lost.
At least this was one reason for a five-state area convention for the younger Republicans held in Kansas City Friday and Saturday.
The convention, Region VII Collegiate Young Republican Leadership Training School, was held in the Town House Motor Hotel, with about 130 delegates attending. John Sharp, Lawrence senior, headed the two-day convention.
"THE HOPE OF the Republican party is in you young people," said Chester Mize, U.S. Congressman from Kansas, at the convention breakfast Saturday.
He told the CYRS to return to their respective counties and cities and to work for Republican candidates.
"We were trounced in the last election. We recognize we are down, but we are certainly not out." Mize said. "All of us recognize that we don't all see eye to eye. I am hopeful that the radical differences" do not tear the party completely apart.
MIZE ALSO said that more serious than the dominance of the Democratic party over the Republican party is the power of the president over congress.
Tom Van Sickle, national chairman of the Young Republicans, and Kansas State Senator from Fort Scott, who spoke at the Friday night dinner, said that the future of the Republican party is in the hands of the young people.
THE YOUNG Republicans "must design our programs and provide our leadership," he said. The clubs should re-evaluate and update their programs when dealing with national, state or local problems. He said the best way to do this is by hard work and determination.
Dole, in the final speech of the leadership convention, said, "Kansas would not have, in my opinion, remained Republican last November had it not been for the efforts of collegiate and young Republicans in every campaign.
"WE LOST AN election last November, a battle certainly, but not the war. We must not become so preoccupied with the why of our last defeat that we neglect the how of our next victory," Dole said.

The lecture will be in the University Theatre in Murphy Hall. The Faculty Club will have a reception afterward so lecturegoers may meet the distinguished visiting scholar.
Dr. Mylonas worked last summer at the ancient Greek city of Mycenae; he has directed excavations there overv year since 1958, except 1960. He has also, directed field work at Olynthus, Eleiusus, Haghios Kosmas, and Akronotosmos.

THE HISTORY of Mycenae dates back about five thousand years to the Bronze Age. It reached the height of its influence and greatness about 1400 B.C. when its culture spread throughout the eastern Mediterranean. Its great palaces, tombs, and citadel with the Lion Gate testify to the richness of its civilization and the great technical skill of its architects, artisans, and engineers.
Dr. Mylonas has two books now in production: "Mycenaean and the Mycenaean Civilization," and "The Walls and Gates of Mycenae." Last year, his "Grave Circle B of Mycenae" was published. He is author of nine other books on ancient civilizations, at least 175 articles in learned journals, and more than 200 reviews.

Concluding the day's activities was a farewell address given by Deanell Reece, Scandia sophomore and chairman of the Leadership Day steering committee.
A FASHION SHOW featuring appropriate campus attire was presented by the AWS fashion board.
Life on KU's campus cannot be comprehended in one day's viewing, it takes a four year involvement to really understand it, according to Miss Reece.

HE CITED examples of the Phi Beta Kappa chapter (first west of the Mississippi), and the Woodrow Wilson and Rhodes Scholars that had been students at KU. He told of the size of the library: 1,100,000 volumes, and the 1800 courses now offered here.
College Meaning Told
The size of a university works to the advantage of students, he continued, for it provides a stimulating intellectual atmosphere for the student. A student at KU can major in 100 different areas, he said.
Emily Taylor, dean of women, mentioned the historical significance of women in college life at KU. "The first group were out to change the world, to show everyone what they could do," she said.
"THE PURPOSE OF college will be fulfilled if you leave with some idea of what it is to attend college, and to make the most of your talents," she said.
