Young Democrats 1968 was the year for student participation in the Democratic Party, and the Young Democrats did their share to bring the major elec- tion issues to the DePauw campus. Although Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy were first choice among young people this year, the Young Democrats held the party line and supported Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie vigorously: It has been the Democrats who have placed the real emphasis on youth in 1968, and we feel that in the years after 1968 the influence that youth first made with the Democrats will stay and grow. The accomplish- ments of the Democratic Party will continue, and because of it politics will never be the same. It's time for the obsolete attitudes and standards of the past to be replaced, and politically they will be replaced by young people and the Democratic Party. True, 1968 was a Republican Year, but the Young Democrats were a major political interest group on the DePauw campus.
