MARTIN Reporter It’s a chance to meet Ronald Reagan, John Tower or Phil Gramm — and maybe even fol low in their footsteps. Texas A&M students have this opportunity if they join Young Americans for Freedom, a national conservative political group. With over 500 chapters across the country, YAF has members ranging from the president to college students, says Timm Henning, chairman of the Texas A&M chapter. Henning, who is organizing the chapter, said that originally they planned to start the chap ter next fall. They are starting now, however, because Texas A&M has been invited to the Republican Convention in Dal las this summer. “Even though we didn’t have a chapter here,” Henning said, “the YAF advisers had heard of A&M’s interest in politics and asked us to be represented in Dallas.” Henning said the other Life’s simple pleasures.

Attending the Republican Convention, however, is just one benefit students will get from joining YAF. “Not only will YAF help de velop the students’ political leadership techniques,” Hen ning said, “it will also give them a chance to gel top-notch con nections and meet influential political figures.” YAF, which was founded in 1960 by William F. Buckley, is open to any student and has only one membership require ment — the students must agree with the Sharon Statement. The Sharon Statement is a creed outlining YAF’s goals: “to support the conservative movement and bring back the morals of government that this country was founded on." Membership dues are $20 a semester, and there are no po litical party restrictions. “You don’t have to be a Re publican to join,” Henning said. “We do have a lot of Republi cans, but only because they tend to be more conservative than Democrats. We are just a con servative group.” Although there is no dead line to join YAF, students who wish to attend the Republican Convention this summer (Au gust 20-23) should contact Hen ning at 260-7953 by May 11. “We want a strong chapter here,” Henning said. “And we’re looking for those hard working students dedicated to the conservative political movement.” Around fownpcirl Poet visits Bryan-College Station) Poet Allen Ginsberg will be viisling in Bryan-Collegtsj lion today and Friday.
