Young Democrats Campaign Actively Always interested in the political views of college students, Senator Ralph Yarborough talks with Miles Appleberry, Beverly Ball, Diana Silver, and Sam Kalvort. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Russell Mc- Farland and Mr. Raymond White, the organization enthusiastically took part in the election cam- paigns of Democratic nominees.

The high ideals and hard work shown by the entire group has prompted many dignitaries such as Mr. John Daniels, Mr. James Barlow, and Mr. Jake Johnson to speak before this politically-minded organiza- tion.
