" Two: You must immediately cease and desist your attacks on others.

" Three: You must respect our American institutions....

" Four: ... Hit the books, or hit the road.

" Five: If you don't want to love America, stand aside and let a man do the job." He finished up with restrained force, pleading intensely but quietly, being gentle for a young audience.

"If America falters now, our successors'flag will be a Communist flag.... Talk about what's good about America. The world's hungry to hear your voice. Don't keep it waiting."

YAF leaders held workshops after each evening's major address, discussing the "Voluntary Military," "Anti New-Left Strategy," "Politics, Campus Style," "The Right to Bear Arms,"

"Fund-raising," the "Legal Action Programs" (against infringements of personal freedom by campus leftists) and other topics of concern. David Keene, a respectable looking, voluble, intelligent and articulate law student at the University of Wisconsin, is adept at putting down extreme comments from his audiences by first thanking the contributor and then ignoring him. He's been to Vietnam three times as an observer; in a workshop on Vietnam and Southeast Asia, he warned about the prevailing liberalism on campuses. "The thinking of Sam Brown has filtered down and influenced other people. This is what's really dangerous."

Keene wants the United States to win in Southeast Asia, and considers Nixon's Vietnamization plan as not inconsistent with that goal. He sees three main reasons for our continuing involvement in Vietnam: "The strategic importance of Southeast Asia for the free world," the "question of defeating the Communist strategy of the peoples's war," and a "moral obligation" to other nations who have fought because they thought we're with them." Keene believes in the domino theory. "If we win, we're more assured of no more wars-if we lose, there will be more wars."

Warren Woodward just graduated from a prep school in Connecticut where he led a small ("5 or 6 guys") YAF chapter. The most freak-like of all the delegates (wearing tennis shoes, small round sunglasses, a colored T-shirt, overalls with a "For God and Country" flag patch, and a part in the middle of his longish hair), Warren was the only one to openly question Keene's views on the war by raising an opposing point of view during the question-and-answer period. "I advocated winning for a while, but I've given up. They're Mickey-Mouseing around over there with little rules and lines. I wouldn't go over there and give my life in a war we're not trying to win."

Keene is National Chairman of YAF and, like most of his colleagues, strongly opposed to student violence. He's been close to it at the University of Wisconsin; he began a workshop on anti New-Left strategy by talking about this summer's bombing of the Army Math Research building there, and of the failure of the university officials to take seriously such warnings as an article in a paper titled "Army Math Research Building: Blow it Up." "All of these things represent a pattern," Keene warned the workshop attenders. "They're not isolated incidents, no matter what anyone says."

He spoke briefly, and with a little bitterness, of the abuse given him whenever he argued or debated a conservative position. Keene was not the not only by radicals but also by those simply unwilling to listen to the conservative position. Keene was not the first nor the last to complain of being put up to ridicule.

Several of the older conservatives who talked to the youth group during the week reminded them that, twenty or thirty years ago, conservatives ran into much more opposition than they do today, and that there were times when all but a few avoided the label "conservative" itself. To judge from their speeches, they take it for granted that they are members of a kind of oppressed political minority, outsiders looking into the world of political power, biding their time and holding their ground until the time comes when they will take control from the "liberal establishment." Some, encouraged by recent trends, see their day coming soon; others are less sanguine about taking over in the near future.

WHEN Keene was finished with his introduction, one student asked what kind of legal procedure could be used against students and faculty who close down a university.

"YAF is trying to round up a list of lawyers who will give us help," Keene explained. "Really what you're trying to do is put a little fear in the administration who have been just sitting back or, even worse, helping these causes."

The workshop turned to the problems of outside agitators in campus politics. Rocky Rees, of the Yale YAF, stood up to comment that last year's Yale May Day Weekend to protest the Panther trials was named by"... a wandering band of bloodthirsty gypsies." "If you go to a small college and you notice a lot of unfriendly-well, freaky faces around you, the best thing you can do is take some pictures.... You might as well send them to us at Yale, because we might know who they are."

Walter Dilger is too old to be a member of YAF, but he attended a lot of the conferences. He's from Dayton, Ohio, a small oldish man who's taken college courses in economics and political science at night, and just before the "anti New-Left" workshop broke up, he raised his hand and stood up to say, "I'm not surprised that the [campuses] were for Nixon, because the liberals spent twenty million dollars to put Nixon in office. He talks real conservative, but you look at his policies and he acts real liberal, especially in school desegregation and on cleaning out the Justice Department."

Mr. Wilger later explained the liberal conspiracy. "Yes, they put up twenty million for Nixon-it's a group of mostly bankers in New York that runs it. Rockefeller went down there to Miami in '68 and spent so many millions of his family's money and couldn't make it, so he and Sidney Weinberg and Lewis Strauss called in Nixon and said, 'look, do you wanta get elected? We'll put up the money! And Nixon had to take on his old enemy Kissinger, who was Rockefeller's adviser for twenty years, and he didn't want him, but now Kissinger is sitting up there next to Nixon and he's really running things.

"You know, Will Rogers says that we haven't had a real President since Abraham Lincoln, just Vice-Presidents; well of course, Harding was a guy who'd stand up for his rights and do what he wanted, but he had this food-taster, he wanted to make sure his food taster went along with him wherever he went, until he went off to Alaska without his food-taster and he came back dead.... You must remember: nothing just happens, everything is planned...."
