NEW YORK </P> — A survey
of college newspapers across the
nation shows that editorial en
dorsements in the Democratic
presidential race are predomi
nantly split between Sens. Robert
F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., and Eugene
J. McCarthy, D-Minn. But the
editorials are in agreement in
urging the defeat of President
Johnson.
Editorial comments vary from
calling Kennedy’s entrance into
the campaign a “malacious dis
play of political opportunism”—
Daily Ulini, University of Illi
nois—to praising Kennedy as
someone who can return the na
tion to the “ideals of the New
Frontier”—The Spectrum, New
York State University at Buffalo.
MCCARTHY WAS praised for
breaking “the somber barriers of
apathy . . . and giving hope to
a Democratic party which was
rapidly becoming a detached,
atrophied clique of party hacks
—The Daily Princetonian, Prince
ton University.
Even newspapers which sup
ported Kennedy had praise for
McCarthy.
“We feel nothing but admira
tion for the courageous Minne
sotan who gave so many students
renewed hope in a political pro
cess that seemed—and may well
be—incapable of coping with the
nation’s crisis,” said the Harvard
Crimson.
THE CRIMSON gave its en
dorsement to Kennedy, and urged
McCarthy “to step aside in favor
of Kennedy who offers the best
hope of winning.”
In Wisconsin where McCarthy
is now campaigning, three major
college newspapers are support
ing the Minnesota Democrat in
the primary. Editors of the
newspapers say any switch to
Kennedy would not come until
after the April 2 primary.
THE MILWAUKEE Post at
the University of Wisconsin said
Tuesday in an editorial endorse
ment of McCarthy for the pri
mary:
‘‘It is clear that the United
States will not end the war in
Vietnam of its own volition as
long as Johnson is president, and
it is also a safe bet that Richard
Nixon, the likely Republican
nominee, would not win the war
either.”
YR Members
Will Attend
State Meet
Sixteen delegates and seven
alternates will represent Texas
A&M at the annual Texas Young
Republican Federation Conven
tion this weekend in Ft. Worth.
The main purpose of the con
vention will be to elect officers,
ratify a platform, and conduct
other business. As one of the
largest clubs in the state, A&M
Young Republicans will have a
major vote in these matters. “Al
though the convention is not ex
pected to be as controversial as
last year, there will be plenty of
issues before the delegates, one
of the most important being re
districting,” according to con
vention chairman Gordon Sorral.
Cadets will act as Sergeant-at-
Arms at the convention, under the
leadership of club treasurer
Charles Chesnutt.
Burt Co-Authors
Frosh English Text
Dr. Forrest D. Burt of Texas
A&M is co-authoring a freshman

leyan College.
