By Jason Stoffer Daily Staff Reporter 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 with the rally. Other highlights include 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.

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.
