Young GOPs Elect Area Students
To Offices in State Federation
Two Kenai Peninsula young
people received honors recently
when the Alaskfi Young Republi
can Federation held its convention
in Anchorage, the weekend of
April 20. The convention was at
tended by Cd^lelegates.
Carroll Madden, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Don Madden of Sol
dotna, was elected vice chairman
of the federation and John Con
nolly, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wes
Connolly, Kenai, was elected col
legiate director. Both are students
of Alaska Methodist University
at Anchorage and both are in the
sophomore class.
Delegates to the convention
elected Donald L. Smith of Anch
orage as state chairman. Smith is
a graduate of Anchorage schools
and of the University of Alaska.
Keynote speaker at the two-day
meeting of Young Republicans
was Ted Stevens, who opposed
Sen. Gruening (D-Alaska) in the
general election last November.
Delegates stated that the high
cost of education for Alaskans is
a financial burden causing many
students to drop out of college.
They drafted a resolution calling
for a second state and federal in
come tax exemption for a stu
dent attending an accredited Al
aska college or university full
time.
The Young Republicans also
urged that candidates should be
endorsed by state conventions pri
or to the primary elections and
that a change should be made in
the state election code to require
that a party candidate pell not
less than 20 per cent of the dele
gate strength at the convention
before being allowed to enter the
primary.
The group also passed a reso
lution advocating that persons 19
years of age, now permitted to
vote in Alaska, should also be
granted legal capacity in all oth
er matters.
