At the College Democrats' national
convention last weekend, University
students had the chance to rub elbows
with some ofWashington's most power-
ful movers and shakers.
A delegation of eight students from
colleges throughout Michigan made the
trek to Washington, D.C., meeting up
with University CDs who are interning
in the capital for the summer.
Lawrence Reszatar, the 1996-97 CD
national director of political affairs,
said the convention marked the end of a
triumphant year.
"I feel good about going out on this
note," Reszatar said. "We met our major
goal of turning out over 6 million stu-
dents for election day."
One University delegate came home
yesterday with more than the usual
post-convention enthusiasm.
LSA sophomore Sara Deneweth was
elected to the national office of
Student Director of Legislative
Affairs.
"National CDs are working on set-
ting up (for the 1998 election year) and
building new chapters," Deneweth said.
"My job is to help campus chapters
across the country get information on
issues and what's going on in
Congress."
The convention featured a diverse
agenda for a group of more than 300
CDs from across the nation.
An educational rally, televised on C-
SPAN, kicked off the festivities on
Thursday. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-
Mass.), Minority Whip David Bonior
and House Majority Leader Richard
Gephardt spoke in favor of increased
financial aid and the Hope
Scholarship.
The Hope, President Clinton's brain-
child, would make a portion of college
tuition tax-deductible to people earnin
less than a certain income level.
Reszatar said Democratic legislator
were glad to see so many student
attend the rally.
"One reason we're here is to try b
back these Democrats so they're *
for us with financial aid, environmenta
and other issues important to students.
Reszatar said.
Convention activities did not eni

grassroots campaigning workshops
speeches by prominent Democrats suc
as Democratic National Committe
General Chair Roy Romer and a volur
teer project with AmenCorps.
Deneweth said the most beneficia
part of the convention was meeting6
dents from across the nation.
"It was great to meet a diverse grow
of people throughout the country wit
similar viewpoints," Deneweth said.
She praised University CDs for being
both active and influential during th
past year.
"We did a great job in the close (cor
gressional) race with (Rep.) Lyn
Rivers (D-Ann Arbor), we do a lo
community service, and along '
(Environmental Action) we brought i
(Sen.) Carl Levin (D-Mich.) to speak,
Deneweth said. "We also helped regis
ter 6,000 University students to vot
and sponsored a trip to the presidentia
inauguration."
LSA sophomore Kelly Boland, secre
tary of University CDs, said she expect
the positive energy generated during th
past year to continue.
"We had a really dedicated grous

ing and community service are goal
