HYRC Boosts Membership Over 400; Figure Tops All Other Political Units

Membership figures for the Young Republican's Club are now greater than these of all other political groups in the University combined.

William A. Rusher 3L, President of the Club, last night revealed that the total was "well above 400. It's due to our House-agent system" Rusher explained. "Whereby certain members are responsible for the canvassing of their own House or dormitory."

When questioned on the recent formulation of a Stassen-for-President club, Rusher said that he was naturally glad to see any other strong Republican organization spring up in the University. "The club itself is not favoring any one candidate until after the national convention," he explained, "and so I have no statement to make on either the Wisconsin primary or this new Stassen Club."

Bosth Rusher and officials of the Stassen movement, however, agreed that the results in the Wisconsin balloting would probably have an immediate effect in helping to boost the membership of both organizations.
