The major emphasis of the com-

are more apt to vote Republican..
However, he says, this group is
harder to reach because they are
not centrally located on campuses.

Action ADA) and former New
York Congressman Allard Lowen-
stein got the jump on registering
however. In a series of "extrava-
ganzas" and youth conferences,
billed as "Registration Summer,"
the ADA registered new voters and
"surfaced" people who would help
with registration drives, according
to Art Kaminsky of the ADA staff.
At rallies so far, ADA has reg-
istered 150,000 young people, while
attracting more than 4,000 to two
three-day conferences held in sev-
en states.
Though the organization says it
is "bi-partisan," it is "different,"
Kaminsky says, "because it is
issue-oriented."
"We're anti-war, anti-Nixon," he
explains. "Millions of young voters
won't register unless they are
given a reason to, unless they can
see the impact they can have."
Using "community organization"
approaches developed by Saul Al-
insky, the Youth Citizenship Fund
also helps communities with regis-
tration efforts.
"We only go into an area if no
one is working there or if our help
is requested and our research in-
dicates we could do some good,"
says spokeswoman Leslie Smith,
The Fund tries to maintain "a
low profile," working to set up
committees for registration or try-
ing to get mobile and branch regis-
tration sites established at schools
or factories.
"To go in and say, 'we're the
national group from Washington'
only causes chaos and conflict,"
Smith says. "We did that once and
have learned from our mistakes."
However, so far the groups have ,
had little impact locally, according
to Roger Wilner, Ann Arbor Dem-
ocratic Party Vice-chairman for
voter services.
Wilner, who has been actively
involved in local registration ef-
forts, says many of the groups "are
letterhead organizations without i
much to offer local groups except
lobbying in Washington and pub-
licity."
The local need, Wilner says, is
to develop better procedures for
registration. "Most of the groups
haven't devoted themselves suffic-
iently to this problem."
