contributions to the nation and
its communities.
In first announcing the pro
gram Chairman Bliss pointed out
that a Gallup Poll of last year
showed that 39 per cent of the
nation's college students are un
comitted to either political party.
He said, "This represents a vast
reservoir of potential leaders and
candidates for our party and we
must get to them first to con
vince them that we want and
ned them as active participants
in the Republican Party."
Bliss has repeatedly empha
sized the significance of the fact
that the United States rapidly is
becoming a nation of young
voters. He has cited figures show
ing that more than 32 million
Americans today are in the 21 to
35 age group and that by 1970
nearly 100 million Americans will
be under 25 years of age.
"It is a matter of plain, hard
fact," said Bliss, "that we mu3t
sharply increase support of the
Republican Party among young
people."
The youth program is directed
by Dr. John Hunger, Director of
1 the Arts and Sciences Division
of the Republican National Com
mittee, and his assistant. Howard
Phillins. Both men have had wide
| experience in working with youth
j organizations. Hunger, 33, at
tended Duke University and the
University of North Dakota and
received his Ph.D. at the Univer
sity of Indiana. He is the former
Director of the Institute of Gov
ernmental Affairs at the Unlver
sitv of Wisconsin.
Phillips, 25, is a graduate of
Harvard College. He served two
years as chairman of the Repub
lican Party of Boston.
The program Is sponsored
jointly by the Republican Na
tional Committee and the Repub
lican organizations of ' the states
in which the conferences are
held. Co-sponsors are the Young
Republican National Federation
and the College Republican Na
tional Committee.

tendance at the meetings is made
primarily from nominations by
faculty members, deans and
recognized student leaders at all
of the colleges and universities
in the states in which the confer
ences are held. However, any
student within the state in which
a conference is held may apply
and participate subject to limita
tions of facilities.
