WITH U.S. Senate candidate Jack
Lousma at his side, Abraham told the 80

recent reductions in interest rates, in-

He urged students to join the Reagan
campaign and the effort to elect
Republicans to other national and state
offices, saying "This is an open party
right now," he said. "You simply will
not find a more opportune moment to
get involved in politics." Abraham said
he is the youngest party chairman in
the nation, and he said 1984 is a perfect
opportunity for students to join the new
generation of state party leaders.
The 31-year-old arty leader said you

of student involvement, saying he will
need student support to defeat former
congressman Jim Dunn in the August
primary and tackle incumbent
Democratic Sen. .Carl Levin in Novem-
ber.
Apparently responding to Dunn's
charges that Lousma is not familiar
with Michigan and its problems, the
retired astronaut said he was not
alienated from the news during his 25
years of military service. "I have not
been out of touch with American society
all these years," he said. "I have been a
very involved and informed citizen.
WHile the Republican students met,
the College Democrats assembled to
discuss their own strategies. "The key
to beating Ronald Reagan on campus is
to get students registered," said
organizer Andrew Hartman. He said
the Democrats will focus on voter
registration and telling students how to
vote in the complex March 17 state
caucus.
College Republicans' chairman Gret-
chen Morris, however, said students
will vote for Reagan because he has
reduced the unemployment rate. "I
think all students...want jobs when we
get out," she said.
