REPUBLICANS FLOURISH AT BERKELEY

ORGANIZATION FEATURED ON WSJ A1

UNIVERSITY: ‘LARGEST POLITICAL GROUP ON CAMPUS IS REPUBLICAN’

Josiah Prendergast (who’s from a gospel family?) and his organization, the Berkeley College Republicans, was featured on the front page of today’s Wall Street Journal (complete with a WSJ drawing):

BERKELEY, Calif. — The University of California at Berkeley has been notable for firebrand leftist students like Mario Savio. The 1960s leader of the Free Speech Movement staged sit-ins on campus to demand students’ rights to academic freedom and free speech. On a recent Thursday, one of the university’s new generation of student leaders was playing with a life-size cardboard cutout of Ronald Reagan.

“Elect Ronald Reagan,” called out Josiah Prendergast, before unfolding the cutout on a grassy field on the Berkeley campus. After propping up the late Republican president, the 21-year-old reached into a bag and pulled out stickers and buttons featuring the slogans “Support Our Troops” and “Schwarzenegger: Protecting the California Dream.”
