A comprehensive 1984 election analysis and discussion
Tuesday, November 1st
Gaston Hall
8:00 p.m. Conservative Political Involvement in 1984
For decades, proponents of conservative governmeotal philosophies maintained their self knowledge that they were right, in the sense of being correct, and automatically assumed that the electorate knew this too. The defeat of Barry Goldwater in 1964 showed, in one respect, that the electorate would not accept the "rightness" of conservatism on its face value.
Conservatives then discovered that in order that the public policy process be properly influenced, activists must remove themselves from self-knowledge and pursue a program of political involvement that would reason with the electorate and persuade the people to the value of conservative principles.
The ground swell of conservative support that landed Ronald Reagan in the White House began in the late 1960's and 70's and marked a shift into technological proficiency that enabled us to register mass-blocs of voters, raise sufficient funds for political programs and publish our views on government and society.
Georgetown Young Americans for Freedom sponsors tonight's forum in the spirit of outreach and intelligent discussion between the college community and the conservative leaders here with us tonight. The work of these individuals helped, in large part, to launch the New Right into political prominence.
By providing personal perspectives on key issues in preparations for the upcoming elections, tonight's speakers will lay the groundwork for political activists and organizations nation-wide. The university environment serves to highlight the important role of young people in the American political process.
We should all take care to recall and contemplate Ronald Reagan's infamous words of 20 years ago such that we all have a "rendezvous with destiny." College students of today are the leaders of the free world tomorrow. GU Y AF encourages everyone to recognize that freedom is not, today, an assumed right or an inherent American characteristic. But rather, an essential quality of life without whose existence our rendezvous with destiny will advance far too soon unless we dedicate ourselves to combatting those forces of evil that would work to destroy our political and religious freedom.

Once a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Massachu setts, Mr. Phillips founded the Conservative Caucus Research, Analysis and Education Foundation, the Con servative National Committee and the Texas Policy Institute. M. Stanton Evans A nationally syndicated columnist for the Los Angeles Times syndicate, Mr. Evans is President of the National Journalism Center.

James Whelan Editor and Publisher of The Washington Times , Mr. Whelan was former Vice President and Editor of The Sacramento Union in California.

Y.A.F.: Looking towards the future.
Young Americans for Freedom is a voluntary membership corporation dedicated to the preservation of liberty in America and educating the public to the virtues and values of conservative principles. With over 80,000 members and supporters nation-wide, the Georgetown chapter of Y AF stands as one of over 200 chapters in every state of the union that works to advance the firm beliefs of our founding statement drafted 23 years ago at the home of William F. Buckley in Sharon, Connecticut. Since its establishment one year ago last week, GUY AF has provided over 12 lecture programs including George F. Will, Secretary of HUD Sam Pierce, Lyn Nofziger, Ernest Lefever and Congressman Mickey Edwards to name but a few. To complement our approach in educating students about the truth of conservative principles, GU Y AF has an active program of internship placement, public policy lobbying and on-campus political consulting. Across America today there exists a pervasive process of mis-information orchestrated by those in our society who would work to undermine our political course by misleading our youth into believing the great liberal hoax. We believe that when the liberal bias in the media and our classrooms is removed, students might get a fair view of conservative political thought. Dedicating ourselves to promote conservative values on our college campuses will do much to bring our future leaders into the realities of the American political process.

"Adopted in Conference at Sharon, Connecticut, September 9-1 I, 1960."
IN THIS TIME of moral and political crisis, it is the responsibility of the youth of America to affirm certain eternal truths. WE as young conservatives, believe: That foremost among the transcendent values is the individual's use of his God given free will, whence derives his right to be free from the restrictions of arbitrary force; That liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom cannot long exist without economic freedom; That the purposes of government are to protect these freedoms through the preservation of internal order, the provision of national defense, and the ad ministration of justice; That when government ventures beyond these rightful/unctions, it accumulat,s power which tends to diminish order and liberty; That the Constitution of the United States is the best arrangement yet devised for empowering government to fulfill its proper role, while restraining it from the concentration and abuse of power. That the genius of the Constitution-the division of powers-is summed up in the clause which reserves primacy to the several states, or to the people, in those spheres not specifically delegated to the Federal Government; That the market economy, allocating resources by the free play of supply and demand, is the sinxle economic system compatible with the requirements of personal freedom and consmutional government, and that it is at the same time the most pro ductive supplier of human needs; That when government interferes with the work of the market economy, it tends to reduce the moral and physical strenxth of the nation; that when it takes from one man to bestow on another, it diminishes the incentive of the first, the in tegrity of the second, and the moral autonomy of both; That we will be free only so lonx as the nu11onal sovereignty of the United States is secure; that history shows periods of freedom are rare, and can exist only when [ free citizens concertedly defend their righ1s against all enemies; That the forces of international Communism are, at present, the greatest single threat to these liberties; That the United States should stress victory over, rather than co-existence with, this menace; and That American foreign policy must be Judged by this criterion: does it serve the just interests of the United States?

Forum on Sovietism
'llris fonrn on SO\Tietism was our first ei.rent of the semester. A two part lecture series, the fonrn attracted over 250 students and faculty and inclooe1 two fine progrcltlS.
Our first lecture feature1 DR. OORIS I Elections 1984 In an address on the strategy behioo the 1984 elections, GU YAF hosted Congressman MICKEY EDWARDS, National Chainnan of the American Conservative Union, who spoke on conservative prospects in Novanber '84. The Congressman's speech was well attende1 and include1 sare very good insights were provi.de1 as to sare political thanes to be use1 in the upcaning m::>nths. (See enclose1 article for m::>re details) -----The IMF Bailout Attacke1 Georgetown YKF has taken a very active role in QRX>Sing the bailout legislation prqx,se1 for the IMF. I have enclose1 a oopy of the fact sheet we sent to Georgetown students in encouraging them to lobby the Congress in opposing the legislation. It is our goal to increase the level of !X)litical activism of the chapter by getting involved in projects of this nature which seek to influence the public policy process. CONSER\TATIVE POLITICAL STRATEX;Y FORUM Georgetown University YAF is the prou:i sponsor of a major political event that will occur en the first of Novenber 1983 here on the main carrpus of the university. Advisory Marorandum: Page 3 10 October 1983 In light of the 1984 elections nearing so close, I felt that a program that brought forth the ideas and plans of the major elements of the American oonservative rrovement w::>uld be rrost tirrely this Fall. 'Ille Forum will feature the rrost noted conservative leaders in the Country t.oday: Terry Dolan, Howard Phillips, Paul Weyrich, Stan Evans and lt>rton Blackwell (with Richard Viguerie yet to ooofinn). There slx,uld be little doobt that this will be an inportant event in framing the issues and strategy for the upcaning year. We expect over 800 students and faculty to attend. In additioo, we have begun a program of press ooordination with the offices of the respective speakers in order that the event receive its deserved media coverage. Any 5UCJ:Jestions you may have about this event would be rrost welccrred and we w::>uld like to extend an invitation for yru to attend the event. We are attanpting a reception, rut at this point, \.lllless I can firrl sane rrore funds, we will have to postpone that idea. YAP NATIONAL ACTIVITIES This past Surrmer I was elected to the Senior Board of Directors of YAP, Inc. During the past couple of rronths, I have been busy giving a harrl to the new National Chainnan of YAP, Bab Dolan of New York. I hope to add substantially with the experiences gained here at Georgetc:Mn and hope to add scme of the program ideas which have made GU YAP successful to the National agenda.

We feel that such quotas are a form of blatant discrimination in which human beings are judged not upon individual merit but rather upon social characteristics. Additionally, these quotas constitute a reversal of Georgetown's tradition of supporting religious and intellectual freedom while presenting the possibil ity of other types of discrmination against minorities and other groups. It is one thing for Fr. Freeze to want to uphold the rich Jesuit tradition of high learning, but quite another to translate that tradition into a call for religious bias in the admissions pro cess. Y AF thei;efore strongly urges Fr. Freeze to think this issue through more thoroughly and withdraw his current proposal.

Young Americans for Freedom Post Office Box 2702 Washington, D.C. 20057 (202) 944-1558 ··.. ' FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 21, 1983 CONTACT: Deroy Murdock or Rich Mathias (202) 944-1558 (202) 944-1291 STATEMENT OF DEROY MURDOCK Chairman, Washington, D.C. Y.A.F. During the late 1960' s and up thro.ugh the present, Americans have been exposed to advocacy journalism in which news stories were presented to further a statement of opinion. With the arrival of AJ3C's TV drama, "The Day After," last night, it is clear that television has entered the age of advocacy entertainment. Few if any TV productions have gone to such lengths to promote the views of its producers or to frighten the viewing public into resisting its government's policies. Even the film's director, Nicholas Meyer, admits that "The Day After" is a "public service announcement." ABC actually provided its audience with a disservice by ignoring the issues and arguments in the ongoing debate on nuclear weapons and warfare. Further, ABC chose to reduce this important issue to a purely emotional level . After seeing this film, many Americans may ~ind themselves more susceptible to the purely emotional pl~as employed by advocates of the nuclear freeze and unilateral disarmament. "The Day After" mirrors the media elite's tend~ncy to question the ee s ana intentions of the U.S. government and military while ignoring the acts and motives of the U.S . S . R. America is repeatedly pointed to as the initiator of World War III . The U.S. is made to look trigger-happy while the Soviets' actions seem to be measured by comparison. No mention is made of Soviet nuclear strategies or weapons in Europe while the American and NATO's possible use of tactical nuclear weapons and deployment of the Pershing II and Cruise missil es is pointed to as 11 provocative . 11 -MORE - DEROY MURDOCK Chairman, Washington, D.C. Y.A. F. Page 2 The producers' neutralist biases perhaps come through most clearly when one of the characters says, "We shouldn't be over there in the first place." It is inexcusable that ABC would use this film as a means of attacking and attempting to scuttle the Pershing/ Cruise deployment, a policy aimed at correcting the total imbalance of US and Soviet forces in Europe. Although "The Day After" paints a grusome· picture of what would happen if a nuclear war were to occur, it says nothing about the overriding issue: how to prevent nuclear war from happening. We believe that at least three steps can go far in keeping nuclear war from taking place. First, the President's program to modernize America's strategic forces must continue, and in fact should be accelerated. A strong and reliable deterrent force is our best insurance against the threat of nuclear attack. Second, a space based ballistic missile defense system, such as that promoted by High Frontier, coupled with similar technology on the ground will further protect us. Finally, our attempts at negotiating mutual and verifiable reductions in nuclear arms should continue . The success of these talks will be heightened by our negotiating not from a position of weakness, but from one of clear and convincing strength. We urge our members and supporters throughout the District of Columbia to educate Okhers on this issue and make them aware of this fact : a policy of peace through strength, and not public fear and mass hysteria, is surely the guarantor that the horrors depicted in "The Day After" will remain mere abstractions. ., •11'~, . - ··~nday,November 21, 1983 The Arts/Television/ Classified.
