State YD's Hold Convention Here

Only ten people remained yesterday at the end of a four-and-a-half hour state convention of Massachusetts Young Democrats to push through a resolution demanding withdrawal of academic credit from ROTC and NROTC.

About 250 students from 24 Massachusetts colleges poured into Harkness Commons to attend the convention. Delegates spent almost all their time voting on candidates for office in the state group.

No Harvard club members ran for office. "No one wanted anything," Harry R. Katz '69-3, president of the Harvard-Radcliffe Young Democrats said. Lance R. Rogers '71 is expected to be appointed executive secretary of the state's Young Democrats by James J. Casey of Boston College, who was elected president.
