EDITOR’S NOTE: CPS (College Press Service) is
published by The U. S. Student Press Association. It is a press
service that comes out five times weekly. This year for the first
time THE JOURNAL is using this service. We feel that it is
important that you have a working knowledge of the
occurances of other college campuses and that we can best
acquaint you with these activities through CPS.

SAINT LOUIS -(CPS) - Over one thousand members of the ri^t
wing Young Americans for Freedom crowded St. Louis’s exclusive
Stouffers’ Riverfront Inn in their attempt to coordinate anti-left
activities for the coming year.
But things weren’t as quiet in last month’s convention as they were
in previous conventions. The new liberatarian and anarchist caucuses
tried to take over the reigns from the tightly knit traditional leadership.
YAF’s “liberals”, however, found themselves in the same position
that McCarthy supporters were in at last summer’s Democratic National
Convention. They were locked out of delegate positions and in many
cases kicked off to the side in alternative or “non-voting” member
statuses.
Many delegations were purged of liberal members. National
Secretary Michael Thompson was accused of packing his own home
state delegation. A leading Missouri YAFer said that he and other
libertarian members had been systematically eliminated even though
they had sent in checks in advance. Thompsop denied the charge and
said that he had filled delegate spots in the order in which they had
filled out applications.
The biggest fight came in the Pennsylvania delegation where the
national organization had removed the state chairman and replaced him
with J. A. Parker, an insurance broker from Philadelphia. Parker is
listed as an approved YAF speaker in the official YAF speakers’ bureau
handbook. He was the only Afro-American at the Convention.
Liberals accused the national office of purging, the state chairman
because of his antinational office feelings.
The liberal caucus, which had up to a 40% vote on one amendment,
vvas constantly charged with being alien to the Sharon statement or
constitution of YAF. Shouts of “purge, purge,” rang from the
convention floor and at committee hearings when liberals spoke.
Reactionary cartoonist A1 Capp advised YAF to get rid of the
“outsiders.” And YAF had a real problem on its hands as some of the
liberal platform had little to do with the previous YAF policies.
Liberals outdid the traditional members with a resolution that not
only called for an immediate end to the draft but called on YAF
national board members to “publicly oppose conscription or leave the
board.” It supported direct action “such as draft counseling and
individually resisting the draft.”
The traditionals supported, and the convention passed, a watered
down resolution supporting a Barry Goldwater bill eliminating
conscription only in peacetime.

What do you get when you combine two
Aries, two Cancers, one Taurus and a
Gimini? Together they spell SMITHSONIAN
INSTITUTE, thus formulating one of the
most gifted musical groups ever to make
their presence known on the comtemporary
music scene.
These six young men will appear in
concert tonight at 8:00 p.m. in the Union
Cafeteria. Admission will be 99 cents with
ID only.
Springing into being as a quartet in early
1967, the group expanded to six in 1968
with the addition of Rick Carpenter as lead
singer.
John Logan plays bass guitar; George
Turner plays lead; and rhythm guitarist is
Dennis Ray. Organ player Johnny Schmutz
combines with drummer Danny Harrison to
complete the group.
Noted for their versatility, THE
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE produces a big
sound that unites instrumental intricacies
with a difficult 5-part vocal. Because of their
varied backgrounds, their concert is balanced
to satisfy all tastes. In fact, they usually
inquire of their audience, “Have a favorite
bag? We’ll play it!”
Tonight, then, is your big chance, music
lovers! Have a favorite bag? Then come hear
it! Along with entertainment, you just may
find a new dimension to music that you’ve
never known before. As they themselves say,
“Happiness is total involvement .... Color us
there!”

standby fares have generated a
significant amount of new
traffic,” it said. “The 12-22 years
age groups are more responsive to
price than is the market as a
whole. Moreover, in addition to
the short-run generative effect of
youth fares, the longterm traffic
impact also is significant. By
encouraging persons to travel by
air at an early age the fares will
inculcate habits ... wliich will be
reflected in a ready acceptance of
air travel throughout their adult
lives.”
Saman To
Publish
Hie art of storytelling still
exists in Turkey. Dr. Paul Saman,
a^ociate professor of French at
the University of North Carolina
at Charlotte has proof in about
400 stories he collected on a visit
to Turkey just before fall classes
began.
He plans to make a critical
selection of 100 to 150 of the
stories and publish them.
“I rented a car and drove from
village to village, asking the mayor
wfio the local storyteller was,” Dr.
Saman said.
The art is still alive with people
over 60 he indicated. Some
become professionals and are
hired to perform at such occasions
as weddings.
The best source, he said, was a
retired tobacco grower in the hills
beyond Smyrna. “He was a well
of folklore.”
The trip posed some hardships.
“Turkey is thinly populated, and
you travel sometimes for two
hours before you reach the next
village.” He stayed in smalLhotels
and sometimes with people who
invited him to be a guest, but
conditions were somewhat
primitive by American standards.
But Dr. Saman had one great
asset in his work. He speaks
Turkish. “When the storyteller
learns that an American speaks his
language, he is flattered, even
moved, and opens up and talks,”
Dr. Saman said.
Dr. Saman has pubUshed a
previous book of Turkish folklore
in Europe. This will be an
up-to-date collection, he said.
