LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
Student political groups did everything from poll watching to baby sitting during yesterday's elections.
The last of about 50 Young Republicans left their Wigglesworth party at 1:30 a.m. this morning, confident of final G.O.P. victory in the Senate. The club members were "bitter about Dever's victory in Massachusetts" but glad that "two out of three Liberal Union senatorial candidates had lost."

Forty-five Young Republicans checked off voters in the entire Ward 11 of North Cambridge. Members used nine cars to transport stranded Republican voters to the polls, including one "pretty, perfumed girl, just over 21, who couldn't understand why Harvard boys would go to so much trouble."
Late last evening, Liberal Union members gathered for a boisterous beer party in the Student Activities Center and listened to nation-wide returns by radio.
