Young Democrats prez readies for national convention:
ByPJ.Waicus
Suff Writer
If Bo knows sports, then University
senior Catherine Wilson knows poli
tics. Wilson, a 20-year old Gastonia na
tive, will attend the 1992 Democratic
National Convention as the youngest
delegate in N.C. history.
Wilson, president of the UNC Young
Democrats and treasurer of the N.C.
Federation of College Democrats, has
the family ties to go along with her own
political interests. "My uncle, Bill Fri
day, is the president emeritus of the
UNC system," she said. "Also, my aunt
and grandfather were involved in poli
tics, so it's been a family thing."
Friday said Wilson's accomplish
ment had nothing to do with their rela
tionship. "I don't think anyone knew we were
kin because we have different last names,
and the only people who found out that
we were kin was because Katherine told
them," he said. "I think she's been se
lected because of her hard work and her

efforts in organizing the Young Demo
crats." Wilson, a political science major,
said she first became interested in going
to the national convention during the
spring semester. "I filled out a delegate
application, and it only asked for a name,
address, race and gender," she said. "I
didn't think that was enough to decide
who should be chosen."
To improve her chances, Wilson sent
letters to the N.C. Democratic Nomi
nating Committee. "I told them that I
thought a young person should go to the
convention, and they believed me," she
said.
Christopher Geis, spokesman for the
N.C. Democratic Party, said he thought
Wilson definitely had earned her del
egation. "It's very unusual for someone
so young to be a delegate, but Katherine
has done a lot for the Democratic Party,
or she would not have been selected as
a delegate," he said.
Wilson was selected from a group of
80 applicants as one of 18 at-large del
egates. "Usually it's well-balanced, but this
year they were looking for more women
to go," she said. "But I think I would
have gone anyway because of my hard
work and determination."
Geis said earning a trip to the con
vention was no easy task. "Becoming a
delegate is almost like running for of

Karen Wilson is North Carolina's youngest delegate to the Democratic convention
done," he said. "It's much more than
just a matter of asking to become a
delegate."
Wilson, a pledged Bill Clinton del
egate, said she was looking forward to
the excitement of the Convention, which
begins Monday at New York City's
Madison Square Garden.
"The three objectives of the conven
tion are to adopt a party platform, elect
a presidential nominee and elect a vice-
presidential nominee," she said.
"I think we're going to hear from
Jerry Brown, and there will be some
confusion until Clinton announces his
running mate. I think he'll pick a U.S.
senator or someone from a government
position who has dealt with the 50
states."
Wilson said she was proud to repre
sent the younger voters at the conven
tion. "I'll be pushing for this election to
focus on the young people," she said.
"We have a Young Democrats platform
which I will take with me to show we
are involved." '.
Wilson also said she was excited
about attending such an important event.
"There will be 4,000 delegates total, j
and o.uuu press members, she said. 1
found out our state will be located near
the front and right next to the press,
section, which should be really fun." '
Wilson said she thought the outcome
of the presidential race would be diffi
cult to predict.
"I think Clinton's got a very good ,
chance," she said. "Of course, I'm bir
ased, but we'll have to wait and see.
One recent poll showed him to be ahead,
but it keeps changing." ,
But Wilson said she thought the,
Democratic Party would fare better if
Ross Perot was an announced candi
date.
"A three-man race definitely ben
efits Clinton more than it would hurt
him," she said. "But I think issues will
be the key aspect of the next three
months."
