Then they went out to work for their candidates or their cause. Their work was spread from the D.C. area, to Capitol Hill and to the members ' own home districts. Furthering the goals of the Republican Party on the campus, the Young Republicans spon- sored speakers and attended rallies to support their candidates for office. Other than just dis- cussing and rallying, the members put in over 300 hours of volunteer work in the Virginia state elections and in work on Capitol Hill for Congressmen. They also aided in local precincts in the first voter registration drive in the District of Columbia. On the other side of the political spectrum were the Young Democrats, representing their national party on campus. The organiza- tion aided in political campaigns and did volun- teer work on Capitol Hill. To inform others about their party and ideas, the group sponsored speakers including Senator Edward Kennedy and Senator Joseph Clark. An organization for progressives, dedicated to the achievement of freedom and economic security for all people everywhere through ed- ucation and democratic political action, the Americans for Democratic Action carried on student lobbying for civil rights and heard speakers at their meetings. Congressmen, ed- ucators and men active in politics spoke un- der the sponsorship of ADA, to further the organization ' s aim of promoting an awareness of the necessity for freedom the world over.

The group also introduced the accounting faculty and the curriculum to the majors. The Society for the Advancement of Management, S.A.M., brought together execu- tives in the business world and students pre- paring to go into it and served as a medium for the exchange and distribution of information about management and industry. In addition to hearing speakers and taking field trips to vari- ous plants and industrial facilities, the group also sponsored a steak fry in the grotto behind Hughes Hall and two hootenannies in Leonard Center, both broadcast over local radio station WWDC.
