Young Demo cites ideology
in switching to other side
By Rex Henderson
The chairman of the UNL Young Demo
crats announced Tuesday night that he
is renouncing his party affiliation and
would register as a Republican Wednesday
morning.
Doug Clary, the campus Democratic
chairman and a former member of the
v state Young Democrats central committee,
cited disorganization and lack of coopera
tion within the UNL chapter and a conser
vative shift in his personal political ideo
logy as the primary reason for the change
of affiliation.
He also said he is using the move to
"attack the political system at the univer
sity. Clary said he is disappointed by the
political apathy within the Young Demo
crats organization and in the student body
as whole. The apathy towards ASUN and
the problems within his party are symp
tomatic of the larger problem, he said. He
added that he hoped his action would
focus some attention on politics.
He intends to be very active in the UNL -Young
Republicans, an organization he
characterized as "consistent and well or
ganized. They have "personal involvement,'
desire to reach members of the campus
community, and good cooperation within
the group, Clary said, qualities that make
an effective political organization.
During his tenure as president of the
Young Democrats, Clary said he had tried
to organize fund-raising dinners and
arrange for political speakers, but a lack of
cooperation from the executive board
doomed the efforts to failure.
Clary cited an instance last April when
he arranged for Lt. Gov. Gerald Whelan to
speak on campus. Because a member of
the executive board who promised to take
care of publicity failed to notify the Daily
Nebraskan of the visit, only three students
attended the speech.
He is grateful to the Young Democrats
for the political experience he has had in
the party. Clary worked in the presidential
primary campaigns for Frank Church in
Oregon and Montana as a field coordina
tor. In the Jimmy Carter presidential cam
paign, Clary worked as a coordinator in
Akron and Canton, Ohio.
The experiences have helped him evolve
his political ideology, which has shifted
to the right, he said.
"The Democrats lean to too much
social welfare which leads to higher taxa
tion," he said.
He said he has become disenchanted
with the Carter's broken campaign pro
mises to give farmers full parity in price
supports this year.
Clary said he will be a moderate Repub
lican and could still support a Democrat
in Nebraska's U.S. Senate race next year.
"I have never felt strict party affilia
tion, he said.
Departments pick, choose
To add or delete, that is the question
which will decide the fate of second semes
ter students. Will you get the class you
want at the time you requested?
Faculty members have until Friday to
decide if they will add or delete sections
for classes offered second semester, accord
ing to Tony Schkade, assistant director of
registration and records.
. A list of students first choices were
given to each department, he said. Depend
ing on budget, staff and number of student
requests, each department will decide
which courses it will offer and when.
If students want a class that is not
scheduled or want a class section changed
to a different time, they must go to the de
partment chairman with their request be
fore Friday, Schkade said.
After Friday, students will be as
signed courses based on priority and avail
able space, Schkade said. Results will be
mailed to students on or about Dec. 9, he
said.
Students should remember that Nov. IS
is the deadline for early registration for
next semester, he said.
