The decision of the Connecticut Planning Committee on Centrul Junior Wins Convention Role By CHRISTINE LESINSKI NEW BRITAIN Political science concentrate Nerman Dobynes of Central Connecticut State College will have the unique opportunity of observing politics in action from within this July, when she attends the Democratic National Convention as an alternate member of the Connecticut delegation. "Nerma," as she usually is called, will represent a minority on three counts as a female, as a black, and as a 21-year-old student. "One thing that I find really exciting," comments the senior social science major, "is that I'll see the whole party operation from the local level to the National Convention." Nerma, who lives in New Britain with her mother, Mrs. Mary Dobynes, began her involvement in politics in the fall of 1971, when she enrolled in a political science course at Central which offers students the opportunity to work in an internship, program at the State Capitol for academic credit. Under this program, she worked for the Department of Community Affairs.

A member of the New Britain Young Dems, Nerma worked on several local campaigns. "Political science is mostly theory," she says. "I was happy when I got to put some of these theories into practice." In addition to practice, Nerma's campaign involvement gave her a chance to be chosen as a delegate, since her name had come up as someone potentially interested in politics. On Pac Slate After being nominated, Nerma ran in New Britain on the Pac slate, winning her position as alternate-at-large to the convention. As an alternate, she will not be: able to vote as do the delegates, but will nevertheless de allowed to go to caucuses when in Miami.

A McGovern supporter, Nerma says that she is "in a sense, indebted to McGovern," for the new percentages of minority group members required in state delegations, an innovation prompted by the 1968 Chicago convention. When asked if she believed that her race, sex and age had any bearing on her nomination to the delegation, she commented: "I'm sure that played a part I'm sure it was a consideration." Nerma, who will graduate Carlone, Paul S. Catan and Helga B. Senk, District 8 winners were incumbents Doris G. Balavender, Gustave W.

Weber and Charles J. Zipadelli defeating Lena C. Brown, Alfred Callegari and Mark Staves. In District 9 incumbent James Scheyd and Raymond M.H. Joyce and Jean G.
