KU Young Republicans Find Party Alive
"The Republican party is not dead," according to three KU Collegeiate Young Republicans, who returned Sunday from a four-day Young Republican Youth Leadership School in Washington, D.C.
Among a record number of 700 delegates were Bob Miner, Great Bend junior, John Sharp, Macon, Ga. junior, and John Dunn, Hutchinson senior.
The leadership school for Collegiate and Young Republicans was held for the first time this year in a non-election year. "This was held because of the urgent need for our
party to recoup its losses in the November election," Sharp said.
BOTH MINER and Sharp said that it is probable the school will be held in a non-election year from now on. One of the main duties between now and the 1966 election is to register voters and find candidates.
"The conservative influence dominated the conference more than I expected," Miner said. It should be noted that the Young Republicans gave ardent support to Goldwater during the campaign. Miner also said the moderates made quite an
Students Restricted KU's Autos in 1931
The automobile conscious student who looks to the All Student Council to support his full use of a car at KU will probably be amazed to hear that in 1931 the student government passed resolutions favoring restrictions on cars.
The Men's Student Council (student government was then divided into a women's group and a men's group) asked the University to send a letter to each auto owner saying it was not in keeping with KU policy that students maintain cars.
The council asked that written permission be obtained from the student's parents or guardians before a car could be used on campus.
SEVERAL YEARS before that the Men's Student Council had passed similar legislation.
One of the reasons the council bye for the action was that "by
pave for the action was that "by opening the way to a more tempting social life the automobile is likely to interfere seriously with the intellectual life, which is the student's primary obligation."
Defeated presidential candidate Barry Goldwater received the most enthusiastic reception from the delegates when he addressed them Friday. According to Sharp, Goldwater received a ten-minute standing ovation amid shouts of "We Want Barry."
effort at the training school. Scranton forces were working for the Pennsylvania governor, and a state committee from Michigan was working to draft Romney in 1968.
Accidents seemed more frequent In the resolution, the council noted
that seven deaths had resulted from auto accidents, apparently among the students. The 1931 action stemmed directly from the deaths of four KU students a weekend before.
ERNEST H. LINDLEY, then chancellor, issued a statement following the 1931 resolution commending the council. He noted that the proportion of students having cars was small (then five per cent), but the number of accidents was large.
That same year, the Women's Student Government Association passed legislation seeking to restrict the number of people who could ride in the front seat of a car and to prohibit students from riding on the outside of cars.
The spring semester ended before the resolution could be put into final form, but, as Chancellor Lindley said, the restrictions were already embodied in the laws and ordinances of the state and city.
The afternoon following the student government's resolution in 1931, the Lawrence Safety Council met and asked that all Lawrence ministers give Sunday sermons on "safety and sacredness of human life."
The Arizonian told Sharp he is considering to run for the Senate in 1968 against Sen. Carl Hayden from Arizona.
Goldwater pleaded for party unity and a victory in the 1966 Congressional elections. About one-third of the senators will be up for re-election.
GOLDWATER POINTED out that his predictions about the consequences of our present Southeast Asian policy were unfortunately coming true, he believed. Dean Burch, national chairman until April 1 when Ray Bliss takes over party reins, also addressed the Republicans. He said we should not allow the Viet Cong to bomb our barracks and simply retaliate by bombing one of their barracks.
"This is not the answer, and we need a firm definite policy in Southeast Asia," Burch said.
Kansas Senator Frank Carlson, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also commented on the Viet Nam situation at a dinner given for the Kansas delegation.
"Our raids on North Viet Nam and Laos are mainly for the propaganda and psychological effects. I have seen the pictures, and we have only blown a few bridges and troop billets. To really be effective these missions would have to hit the North Vietnamese industrial plants." Carlson said.
THE ONLY NEW concept that the group heard was voiced by Richard Cornuelle, head of the Foundation for Voluntary Welfare. He believes that American society
term loans to college students if the students died or defaulted on the loans. Students from 674 colleges have received loans from more than 5,000 banks.
Cornuelle classifies all such public programs, such as United Fund and other charity organizations, as the "independent sector" for public service. He believes these groups have a tremendous potential, and can solve today's problems, but up until now, their full potential has not been realized.
DUNN SAID that this was the first new concept concerning public assistance programs he had ever had the privilege of hearing." It provides an alternative to government-run welfare programs." Dunn said.
is now affluent enough to support voluntary public service programs which would solve the problems that are used as excuses for the welfare state.
Several Kansans spoke to the seminar. State Sen. Tom Van Sickle addressed a session on the uses of special events in political campaigns. Van Sickle was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives as an undergraduate at KU. He now is serving his second term in the state senate and is a student at the Washburn Law School.
To test his theory, Cornuelle organized United Students Aid Funds, Inc., a reinsurance corporation which established a fund from voluntary contributions. This fund would reimburse bankers who agree to make low interest long
