Conservative Students Organize Club;

The Committee on Housing and Undergraduate Life (CHUL) Monday approved the application of the Harvard Conservative Club, and so added it to a list of approximately 100 undergraduate clubs.

The club's application stated it would "provide a social meeting ground for conservatives, traditionalists, and believers in free enterprise."

Hilary A. Kinal '82, president of the club, said yesterday he has noted "a lot of socialistic viewpoints expressed, but none for the other side of the political coin."

The Conservative Club will express its opinions by "organizing and publicizing alternative information other than simple wall posters."

Alvin D. Joran '80, a member of the Conservative Club and the Harvard Libertarian Association, said the club provides "a way for people of like political and philosophical persuasions to socialize with each other and have casual chats with members of other clubs who have different views."

But Leda Cosmides '79, president of the Harvard Libertarian Association, cited real philosophical differences between the clubs. She said that libertarians believe all public involvement and cooperation in government should be voluntary, whereas conservatives favor some degree of force.

Cosmides indicated that cooperation with the Conservative Club would be possible. She said the Libertarian newsletter would publish any article the Conservative Club submits "as long as it agrees with our position on the specific issue."
