All full- time students in good standing are eligible to run for office. by Patricia The Role of the Young Republican in the Coming Election was Hayes Robert son's main concern as he addressed Munde lein's Young Republicans, Oct. 1, in 405. Mr. Robertson, one of three candidates in the Illinois gubernatorial race, stated that if young Republicans are to be help ful to the party, they must know the issues. The slightly greying politican asserted that the major issue concerns the federal government. The federal government is delving into problems that will sap us of our well-being. Mr. Robertson, a graduate of Wabash College and George Washington University, went on to say that for the past 24 years the Republican people have not had choices in selecting candidates. Since 1940, the Republican Convention has never taken a stand on major issues. The crux of the problem lies in our failure in trying to woo the liberals, affirmed Mr. Robertson. Encouraged with the new about-face that young Republicans have taken, he added that he was delighted to see Young Republicans petitioning the gov ernment to take a conservative approach to matters of major concern. The Illinois statesman also discussed open occupancy, welfare aid and cost of govern ment. In regard to open occupancy, Mr. Robert son observed that in addition to the emo tional problem involved, one must consider Porwicz another problem, for in letting the City Council rule they take away certain other peoples' rights. The gubernatorial candidate spoke out vehemently against the cost of government. People in politics are charitable people; they create jobs where none exist. He added, If we want to cut the cost of gov ernment, we can cut 25 per cent in man power of the various branches of govern ment. Mr. Robertson went on to challenge the diligence of the legislature in handling the ADC problem. He affirmed: I don't coun tenance the idea of putting premiums on children. He suggested the government could make its first important move in ap prehending the absent fathers. In addition, Mr. Robertson talked about his work with the Cook County Central Committee. I moved our headquarters to a larger office and by branching out we offered a stronger opposition to the Daley machine. I also initiated conflicts with Mr. Daley, from which arose the tax petition and a greater interest in the Republican Party. The strong conservative concluded his talk by urging support for Senator Barry Goldwater (R Arizona) for president in 1964. Mr. Robertson sanctioned Mr. Gold- water as a man of principle and exclaimed, If we concentrate on principle, the Repub lican party will do much better.
