The Old College Try

YAF recently released their list of the Top Ten Campus Conservatives, and a couple good friends of RSR made an appearance on the list. Bowling Green's Dan Lipian, who is currently serving in his second term as BGSU CR Chairman and in his first term as Ohio College Republican Federation Secretary, was picked for his efforts with last year's 9/11: Never Forget Project and his phenomenal work in bringing conservative activist and musical legend Ted Nugent to Bowling Green. In an aside, RSR attended the evening with Nugent back in March, and it was absolutely packed. On one of the most liberal college campuses in Ohio, Dan and his great group of CRs like Co-Chairman Brian Kutzley packed the 1,000 seat auditorium within 50 seats of capacity.

URI College Republican Chairman Ryan Bilodeau, who is also serving currently as Rhode Island CR Chairman, also was named to the prestigious list. Bilodeau raised many eyebrows on campus with his WHAM (White Heterosexual American Male) Scholarship back last fall, and he went toe to toe with his university for the survival of College Republicans on URI's campus. Ryan has also spent much time coordinating independent student support for Mitt Romney, and was featured on a panel at CPAC with other young conservative leaders. Keep up the good work gents!
