Data from a sample of UCLA students is reported concerning the Weinberg and Walker (1969) contention of an absence of linkage between student antiwar activism and national political party organizations and resultant conflict-expressive behavior of sudent demonstration. The data indicate that demonstrators were much more involved in conventional (institutionalized) party politics than non-demonstrating respondents-namely, that they were more likely to have done political party precinct work. Also, demonstrators were more optimistic in their appraisal of demonstrations affecting the Vietnam situation than the rest of the sample. The Weinberg and Walker notion that student activism constitutes structurally isolated and noninstrumental behavior seems not to be supported
