Students help McCarthy
Six members of KU for Alternatives traveled to Wisconsin last weekend to campaign for Senator Eugene McCarthy, D-Minn., in the primary to be held there April 2.
Three couples, two from KU and one from Washburn, spent Saturday and Sunday canvassing about 250 homes in West Bend, Wisconsin, a small town about 60 miles north of Milwaukee, said Jack Weeks, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student and chairman of the group.
Most of the people Weeks talked to either opposed McCarthy or were unaware of what he stands for.
Weeks thinks support for McCarthy is strong in Wisconsin and that probably more people are out campaigning for him than there were in the New Hampshire primary.
"Wisconsin is more isolated than New Hampshire where everybody is right there together. It takes more people to cover the state," he said.
College students carry the brunt of canvassing and the state organization in Wisconsin is crying for more.
"One student at Harvard dropped out of school this semester to help campaign and now travels to different states where primaries are being held and sets up canvassing operations," Weeks said.
Another trip to Wisconsin is being planned this weekend by KU for Alternatives and Weeks
"The last trip was on short notice. The national office didn't call us until Thursday night," he said.
thinks there will be more people going this time than the six last weekend.
Weeks' organization works with the local chapter of Kansans for Alternatives, which is made up of faculty members and citizens of Lawrence not directly connected with the University.
