Students Campaign for McCarthy in Wisconsin Primary
Thousands of college students canvassed Wisconsin towns for Sen. Eugene McCarthy in the Democratic primary on April 2. Coordinated by Susan Spear, the volunteers travel from cities as far as Los Angeles, visiting 50 to 100 voters each, staying at host homes and dorms, and earning $5 a day only for six McCarthy girls. Local organizers from Oshkosh to Manitowoc reported 30 to 130 students per site, with housing and logistics arranged by campus staff and campaign offices.
