Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), a conservative youth organization, held an introductory meeting at the Freshman Union last night. Four students attended.
Brian Tocco, YAF's Pennsylvania coordinator and a senior at Penn State, held the meeting as part of a tour of Northeastern colleges following Ronald Reagan's victory last week.
Tocco predicted registration in the organization, which attracted national attention by staging counter-demonstrations against antiwar protesters in the 1960s, would increase by 30 to 50 per cent in the wake of the Republican victory. At Harvard, where YAF has 12 registered members, "It may be a little bit harder to organize," Tocco said.
James E. Higgins '83, Harvard chairman of YAF, agreed, saying, "I don't expect to convert a lot of people." He added that the purpose of the organization will be "to let people know that there are conservatives on campus."
