HYRC Clash Reaches Climax As Vote Goes Into General Meeting

Infighting in the Harvard Young Republican Club will reach a climax in Emerson D at 4:30 this afternoon in a general membership meeting which will decide whether Howard J. Phillips '62 will get a seat on the club's delegation to the Massachusetts Council of Young Republican Clubs.

Phillips had been excluded from the group appointed by club president Tom A. Alberg '62. Phillips and Alberg are potentially rival candidates for Young Republican National College Chairman.

The decision to call the meeting came by unanimous vote of the club's executive committee last night.

Unanimity collapsed, however, when Phillips backers moved that voting at the general meeting be by secret ballot. This was rejected 7-6. The Alberg forces scored another victory, by passing a motion 6-5, which excluded all members enrolled after 9:30 last night from voting at the general meeting.
