Show Badges Presented To Mock Delegates College are participating to increase in-crease the number of Democratic delegates. Because delegations did not reach capacity, some will have half delegations, with each representative repre-sentative having two votes. Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Chemistry Chemis-try 101, two committee members from each state will pick up their state's credentials. This will be the only time the credentials can be obtained. "On Friday there will be no time to worry about getting credentials," said Carla Bump, vice chairman. Phil Hansen will speak on "Legal "Le-gal Aspects of Convention Credentials," Creden-tials," and observers are welcome. Hand painted, hand stenciled badges will admit 820 Democrats to Saturday's Mock Convention. Members of the credentials committee com-mittee have been working diligently diligent-ly for the last few days readying the badges for the upcoming political politi-cal event. The responsibility of the credentials creden-tials committee is to decide if the delegates are qualified. The qualification quali-fication is based on whether students stu-dents have a fee card from the University, Uni-versity, Weber State or Westminster Westmin-ster College. In the national convention, t h e duty of the credentials committee is to determine who will gain standing. In the 1964 convention, both a white delegation and a freedom free-dom (black) delegation from Mississippi Mis-sissippi demanded to be seated. The credentials committee seated the white delegation. "We were expecting some trouble trou-ble with the April Committee," said Alice East, credentials committee chairman, "Instead of giving them the state of New York as they requested, re-quested, they were spread among the delegations."
