The Young Republican Club yesterday announced plans to drop its traditional mock presidential convention in 1956 "because Ike is obviously a shoo-in for re-election."
John Thomson '57, YRC president, said last night that the organization had tentatively scheduled a mock joint session of Congress on April 30 of next year in place of convention.
Thomson added that the mock session would be held with the full number of 435 representatives and 96 Senators and would feature two prominent Senators not yet determined as principal debaters.
The date of the session would coincide with the annual meeting of the New England College Council of Young Republican Clubs to be held at the University.
