Young Democrats To Elect Officers
KU Collegiate Young Democrats will elect officers for the Spring Semester today at 7:30 p.m. in the Big Eight Room.
Fresh from their recent orientation convention at Topeka, the Young Democrats are looking forward to working more vigorously in this semester.
Robert Vancleave, Kansas City, Kan., junior and publicity chairman of the Young Democrats, said. "We are going to create a new post of vice president, who will be in charge of membership. We have about 300 members now but we feel we should have more."
Actually the YD's will be electing three vice presidents and two secretaries, instead of the usual one in each category. Vanceleave hopes to contest for the post of one of the three vice presidents.
Speaking of plans for this semester, he said, "We are going to try to keep dirty politics out of our organization and concentrate more on non-partisan issues. I personally would like to take part in issues like Civil Rights."
