Federation of Young Republicans, said a formal rote will be taken in November to convert UNL's Young Republi cans to College Republicans. College Republicans is strictly for college students, he said, while Young Republicans includes persons 17 to 38. The lirgest political youth group in the nation", Col lege Republicans, is "better for people our age, McCon neQ said, because the membership is more concentrated. "People are burned out after college, he said, "and deve lop a cynicism" for political organizations.

Chapter president David Hamilton said many members of his organization will be working on the Jimmy Carter presidential campaign. He said one purpose of the group is to place interested students with different campaign organizations. However, Hamilton, a senior, said UNL Young Demo crats is mainly a discussion group. It meets in the base nwt of Horsefeathers every other Wednesday, usually to listen to speeches by Democratic political candidates. To kick off work on the November election campaign, the UNL Young Democrats sponsored a cocktail party Tuesday night at the home of Pauline Anderson, Demo cratic First Congressional District candidate. Chip Carter, Jimmy Carter's son, attended. Although Nebraska Young Democrats endorsed Frank Church in the May primary, Hamilton said they now back Jimmy Carter. - He said many Democrats view a Carter victory as a "new dawn" for Democrats and the nation. However, he said he thinks presidential elections are based upon popu larity rather than the candidates' stands on the issues- Hamilton said the group has planned no rallies for Carter, but that some UNL members will work locally on the campaign. He added that the organization extended an ir rtsion to Carter to speak at UNL later this fall but he has not responded. Hamilton said students begin getting involved in cam paigns by stuffing envelopes and answering telephones, and work up to more difficult jobs. He said some UNL Young Democrats have worked as researchers for candi dates and acted as "watchdogs," keeping track of how state and national legislators have voted on certain issues. The UNL chapter has about 20 active members, Hamil ton said, adding that the number at group functions is larger. "The only requirement for membership in UNL Young Democrats is interest," he said. "You don't even have to be a registered Democrat to join." Hamilton said the UNL Young Democrats work with the Democratic State Central Committee. Hamilton is treasurer of this committee. The State Central Committee determines who the chapters endorse in the elections and coordinates activities of all state chapters. There are Young Democrats at each Old law bui'dini needs renovation The Former Law College Eldg., along with its name, is in limbo. Last September, the College of Architecture moved its Departments of Community Regulation Planning and Community Resource and Research into the 51 -year-old building. " This came after the Law College moved to its new building on East campus. The problem, according to Ronald Vrht, UNL busi ness and finance manager, is that the building was design ed for law and not for a modem architecture program. It has had no renovation, he said, except for air con ditioning and drop ceilings, costing $250,000, two years before the Law College move. College of Architecture Dean W. Cecil Steward said even with its move the college is still 30,000 square feet short of space. "There's going to have to be a major addition, Ste ward said. "We're probably talking about a capital con- struction item of three to four million dollars. Steward said if the capital construction request of S25J0OO is approved by the Nebraska Legislature, a design contest will be held for the preliminary planning. The final plans .then go back to the Legislature for financing construction. Vright said the preliminary planning might result in renovation or removal of the building. Because of this, he said, changing the name now would be "ill-advised, because we don't know if well keep it up or not. of the major Nebraska colleges, Hamilton said, adding that the UNL chapter is "probably the least active in the state . Hamilton said the group is hoping to sponsor a student voter registration drive on campus this fall. He said the registration wd be financed by the National Committee, which divides funds between different state Central Com mittees. The Central Committee designates how much money each Nebraska Democratic committee will receive, he said. Although no members of the UNL chapter 'attended the Democratic national convention this summer, most members of the State Central Committee were there, according to Hamilton. Other activities planned by the group this fall include a speech by Pauline Anderson at UNL on Sept. 15. Most of the state-level Democratic candidates are also planning speeches, he said.

The 225 mcn bers of U?iL's Young Republicans each pay $2 annual dues which help finance Republican campaigns, but not specific candidates, UNL's Ycun Republicans, the Vomen's Federation of Republicans and the College Republicans are auxiliaries of the State Central Committee, he said.

Following the. formation of College Republicans at UNL the Young Republicans wO continue to exist for persons in college up to 33 years old and in Nebraska counties where there is no college, he said. In preparation for the November 2 election, tScConnell said the Republicans student organization isin the pro cess cf revitalizing' student support with a series of booths in the Vrdoa, pamphlets, information .meetings and a voter registration drive. An aggressive campaign is being designed to nake sure people know where, we stand," he said, and to insure there are no "Hip-flops. ' McConneO said he has worked on a lot of Republican campaigns, but "this one excites me more." Te haven't had such a clear-cut choice in a long time," he said. Prior to the primary election, Young Republicans were conducting surveys and voter registration, but could not take a stand on a candidate, McConnell said Several UNL students were delegates or participants in the Republican convention in Kansas City. Lihby Swanson and Dave Collins worked as pages; Mary Johnson was a delegate aid; McConnell, FiTlman and Roger Fbury were on President Ford's staff.
