Young Republicans are always busy with political projects, but during an election year such as 1964 they are especially active in their vociferous support of COP candidates. Well, it keeps them off the streets, anyway. This year, Senator Goldwater and Representative Miller were the focal points of this group's effort, but there was also much promotional work done for state and local candidates. Club members spent endless hours speaking to voters, passing out leaflets and serving as poll watchers during the primaries and final balloting. Club members were present on election night in campaign headquarters, answering phones, tallying precinct retums, crying, and awaiting the outcome of the election. Although the GOP campaign was not successful this year, Young Republicans learned much and benefited greatly from their experience in waging a hard- fought, clean campaign. Throughout the year, the Young Republicans heard lectures by local Republican officials and learned much about the workings of their party. YOUNG REPUBLICANS Ted Slack addressed the club during his campaign for State repre- sentative. ,li L,-,,'rg--fwfhif ,, gwi ii l Paul Conover Sponsor 'ins' Iohn Aaron George Depontis Francis W.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS The Young Democrats went 'all the way with LBI' this year. In addition to their campus activities of hearing Congressman Claude Pepper and Metro Commissioner Tom O'Malley try to explain what a Metro Commissioner is, the members were quite active supporting Democratic candidates. As the national elections grew closer, the Democrats grew more active, expounding the virtues of Lyndon Iohnson, Hubert Humphrey fanyone with a middle name like 'Horatio' can't be all badlj, Claude Pepper and Miami's mayor, Robert King High. As the polls closed and returns began to flood campaign headquarters, the Young Democrats were on hand to answer phones and observe the precinct returns from areas in which they'd been working. As the national trend became obvious, there was a jubilant victory party, and much cheering. But aside from their hard-fought campaign, the Young Democrats gained valuable insight into the intricate workings of our two-party system.

STUDENT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Student Education Association appeals to those students who are interested primarily in entering the teaching profession. During the year they had a field trip through Lindsey Hopkins, including an interesting stop at Channel Z to view the educational television station. They had speakers covering various problems of youth, particularly juvenile delinquency. At the end of the first trimester they honored the complete Faculty at a tea in Scott Hall. And, just for kicks, they held a barbecue for members. Rhea Goldman Bernard Gamard President Vice President Harold G.
