The intensive activity and enforced cooperation between the pro-Stevenson groups is not paralleled in the clubs supporting Eisenhower. While there is no outright disunity, there is only what Don Hodel '57, president of the Harvard Young Republican Club, termed a "standing offer" to join forces with the Eisenhower Club, and perhaps with the Harvard Conservative League and the Harvard Conservative Club.
The HYRC, while engaging in canvassing, poster distributing, and secretarial work, is, for a large club--nearly 500 members, counting the 120 Law School Republicans--comparatively inactive. Through its subsidiary, the Students for Eisenhower, it has contributed to the efforts of Representative Lawrence Curtis and has co-operated with the Cambridge Republican organization as well as the Whittier headquarters in Boston. One Young Republican, displeased with the lack of activity in the HYRC, commented that the club was worried about not having done anything substantial, but felt that, barring a visit to Boston by President Eisenhower, there was little that the group could do at this late date.
Eisenhower Club
In contrast to the attitude of the HYRC, the Law School young Republicans, and the Students for Eisenhower, the Eisenhower Club has definite plans and commitments from now until election day. Morton Korn '57 stated that the Eisenhower Club, of which he is president, does not believe in "blanket endorsement" of all Republican candidates, but prefers to concentrate its work with one selected man who lives up to the philosophy of Eisenhower Republicanism. The Eisenhower Club has chosen Representative Curtis, who wrote them for assistance, as the local candidate for whom to campaign. Korn estimated that an average of five people a night had been going into the Tenth District from Harvard for the past three weeks. He predicted that this would be maintained right up until the election day, when members of his club would be on hand in the Curtis office and to do whatever needed to be done at the polling places. Korn said that some members of the canvassing parties had been from the Students for Eisenhower and that he still wished to co-operate with such clubs.
The Conservatives
Two Harvard groups, Republican in sentiment, but not political action organizations are the Conservative League and the Conservative Club. Edward S. Barnard, President of the HCC, commented that while his club encouraged its 25 members to campaign, it did not provide them with the opportunity to do so, as it did not wish to endorse a candidate of any particular party. He added that the group was "not being as active this year as last" but that he hoped to work up small discussion groups for club members. He mentioned his be-
