Moderates Organized

The majority of University men
tend to classify themselves as
"moderates," and this fact has had
a tempering effect on the extent of
political activity on the Grounds.
But even the moderates have
organized, and the two major
national political groups at the
University are the Young Democrats
and Young Republicans.

The Young Republicans in the
last few years have become one of
the largest organizations on the
Grounds, and each fall the two
groups traditionally engage in a
battle to enlist the most new
recruits. Last year was especially
active because of the Presidential
election, and both groups promise
even fuller schedules this fall during
the already-heated gubernatorial
campaign.
