Conservative group
organizing at A&M
j'
By KARLA K. 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

and the University of Texas.
“I want to stimulate mem
bership now because I don’t
want A&M to miss out on such a
great opportunity,” Henning
said.
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.”
