Poll Reveals Voting Motives Of La w Students
By HELEN1 JACKSON

Kernel Staff Writer
One University law student, when asked how he
arrived at his decision to vote for the presidential candidate of his choice, replied, "I flipped a coin."
Another student said, "I have 'my money bet on
Nixon."
Still another said, "I'm a yellow dog Democrat."
These reactions, however, were not typical responses
to a political poll of 112 students in the College of Law.
Nixon won the presidential preference 5450. But
the man to win the law student vote next Tuesday may
be the candidate who rets the 8 undecided voters.
When asked about their political preference 77 said
they were Democrats. Registered Republicans numbered
31. Four were Independents.

When questioned on the chief complaint about the
Democratic party, 22 students seemed to think socialistic
traits are the main weakness.
One Democrat called It a "creep toward sociaisim."
On the other hand, a Republican described it as "rampant
socialism."
Other Democratic party weaknesses listed were:
Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman,
attitude,
too much influence by labor unions, and
security.
The main weakness of the party, another Democrat
answered, "There are none."
The conservative tag was attached to the O. O. P. by
ky

students.
Other Republican party weaknesses listed were:

erality, modern Republicanism, Influence by biff bust-nes- s,
stand-pa- t
attitude, and tight money policy.
When asked the chief party weakness some Republicans reduced the answer to a four letter word "none."
Serious replies to the question of admiration for tha
Democratic Party included tendency to help the little
man. new ideas, youth, loosening credit restrictions.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adlal Stevenson, Harry Byrd, and
the southern Democrats.
Replies to a question of admiration for the Republican Party were the way they want private business
to take rare of the economy rather than the government, sound fiscal policy, determination to keep peace,
experience in foreign affairs. Nelson Rockefeller, Harry
Goldwatrr, and John Sherman Cooper.

The source, who refused to be
Identified, said the distinguishing
marks of the gang members are
black, clothes, long hair on the
boys, and short hair on the girls.
He said the girls wear an earring
on one ear only.
- An attempt to get a statement
from Lexington police was met
with a statement that the police
department had "absolutely nothing to say on the matter." A police
spokesman did say that nothing
abouth the situation should have
appeared in the newspapers.
According to one fraternity president who had been briefed by the
Dean of Men's Office, the gang
operates on a "scare" basis. The
presidents were warned that the
hoodlums may move into and at

tack a fraternity house as a show
of strength, he said.
After the meeting, most fraternities armed themselves with shotguns, pistols, machetes, and clubs.
A number of houses have strengthened their locks and oppointed
guards to stand watch.
One fraternity member, questioned about the situation said,
"You're damn right we are going
to protect ourselves."
Hoaxsters are apparently taking
advantage of the unrest to frighten fraternity members as several
groups reported' having received
mysterious telephone calls during
the weekend.
It was learned that a sorority
member has received a letter front
her parents telling her that if the
situation did not change she should
leave school.

.(EDITOR'S NOTE The following is not a news story written in
the otdinary form. We have allowed the writer to write about herself
and to Include some personal feelings because we feel that what she
has to say about a recurrent campus nuisance Is of interest to our
readers.)
By NANCY MOORE
A rustling of leaves. A cough. A silent Interval. Then a face at
the window!
No, it's not a Halloween prankster, but a Peeping Tom outside
one of the freshmen women's dormitories. And it is Just one instance
of coeds being frightened by men peeking through their room windows.
About 1 a.m. last Thursday I was In a friend's room helping her
with an English theme. For approximately 45 minutes we had been
hearing leaves rustling and spells of coughing outside.
.
Thinking the wind was shaking the leaves and that the coughing
was in the dormitory, we paid no attention to the disturbance.
At one time, however, when , I turned to speak to my "friend, I
glanced at the open window and saw a man looking in. He walked close
to the window, paused, then turned and walked away.
"There's a man at the window!"' I exclaimed to my friend. We
ran from the room to the floor counselor who Immeditely called the
University police.
When the police came, we learned that similar incidents had
happened the past week. After writing down my description of the
man, the police left after implying that perhaps if the dormitory area
was better lighted, the Peeping Tom problem would be diminished.

Our Foul Fowl
'Tis autumn and the animal kingdom is preparing for the inevitable
siege by Old Man Winter. Birds are
flying south, squirrels arc storing nuts,
and old men arc buying long underwear.
But here at the University one
fine feathered
species of our
frieHds is complacently taking all the
hustle and bustle in stride. In fact,
this unconcerned attitude toward the
doings of other beings is the trademark of this particular bird, the
pigeon.
The flock of pigeons that has taken the University under its wing continues to sit on the eaves and upper
ledges of the Administration Building and bill and coo while watching
the rest of the campus wildlife busily
prepare itself for winter's icy blasts.
We realize, of course, that it is
a pigeon's prerogative to just sit and
bill and coo if it wants to, and that
pigeons are really as industrious as
other birds. We even admit that it is
fun to feed pigeons and that one can
sometimes receive aesthetic pleasure
from watching a flock of them circle
and soar through the air.
so-call- ed

We must, however, bluntly tell
the whole truth and say that all aesthetic gratification received from
pigeons is quickly dissipated as soon
as one sees them roosting. For it
seems that pigeons, like starlings, are
raised in a society which fails to teach
them the rudiments of cleanliness and
sanitation.
Proof of this can be seen by even
a nearsighted,
man. But, in
addition totheir inherent untidiness,
it has been proved that pigeons sometimes carry nasty microbes that may
attack students and give them sound
excuses for missing classes. In short,
pigeons are foul fowl.
We would therefore suggest that
the University immediately eliminate
the birds before they turn the Administration Building into a massive
compost heap and then move next
door to the Health and Hygiene Building. Prompt extermination, would be
economical, too, for it would save the
Maintenance and Operations Division
the trouble and expense, of having to
hire a man to do nothing but continually shovel a path for. UK's administrators to and from their offices.

THE READERS' FORUM
Interested In Learning
I know very little about the Honors Program and I was therefore unaware that the students under it are
taking' a noncredit course. However,
I feel sure that one of the purposes
of the program is to benefit students
who are not able to attend schools

which are academically letter. The
establishment of stiffer requirements
and few (or total lack of) class cuts
are among the policies which distinguish such schools.
I find L. Hanson's choice of modifier, "discriminated against," a poor

one. Certainly there are more than

3G

students in the University who are
capable of doing advanced work.
Some of them would le happy to be
required to do it.
One of the criticisms of American
education is that there is too little
competitive selection. This is particularly true in regard to state universities. I can see no reason why it should
not also apply to an Honors Program.
If the students asked to participate
cannot accept the discipline such a
program requires, they would be wise
to admit it and give their opportunity
to those who are more interested in
learning than in griping.

British Paper Evaluates Presidential Race
(Editor's Note How does the
presidential election campaign look
to overseas observers as the race draws
to the wire? To answer this question
we have turned to Britain's famed
Manchester Guardian. The following
article appeared in the Oct. 27 issue
of the Guardian.)
An American president is elected
not only as a. party leader but as an

individual. Personal factors inevitably
play a larger part in American elections than they do in this country. The
president cannot be removed from office once he has been elected, no matter how many unsuspected defects of
character may be revealed. If a candidate is a fool or coward the fact must
be made clear before polling day:
once he has reached the White House
it is too late to repair the damage.
debates
Tlianks to the
staged by American television, the
American people have a better chance
of judging the characters of presidential candidates than ever before.
What effect is this likely to have on
the result?
Most commentators agree that Mr.
Kennedy and Mr. Nixon are remarkably alike. Both are "cool cats," at
home with the Organisation Man.
Neither seems aflame with rightous
indignation; and neither is an intellectual in the sense that Mr. Stevenson or even a picker of other nu n's
brains in the sense that Franklin
Boosevelt was. Even so, the television
cameras have revealed what may turn
out to be significant differences between them. One of the issues of the
campaign is Mr. Nixon's supposed ex
"face-to-fac-

is--

e"

perience against Mr. Kennedy's youth.
In fact, as Mr. Kennedy has pointed
out with some force, Mr. Nixon's experience has not been much greater
than his. But on the television screen,
at least, Mr. Nixon looks a great deal
less amateurish than Mr. Kennedy.
There is something engaging about
Mr. Kennedy's tousled earnestness
and the high seriousness of his Massachusetts drawl. But will the American
people want a president who only
looks engaging?

Bad Reputation May Help
What the American people do
want is a president who can stand up
to Mr. Khrushchev. Even his bad
reputation may help him: after all, if
he is capable of ruthless
against his political opponents he is
presumably capable of equal
against his country's enemies.
Mr. Nixon has been called many
things but no one could ever accuse
him of undue softness to the Russians. Moreover, the theme of Mr.
Kennedy's campaign may in the end
help the Republicans. Appropriately
enough in an opposition candidate,
the present administration the United
the present administration the United
States has sunk in power and prestige.
Such a claim undoubtedly wins support from intellectuals. Mr. Mort Sahl
and Mr. Jules Feiffer to name only
two of the outstanding crop of young
satirists produced recently in the
United States could not llourish as
they do in ; complacent country. But
what goes down in the "hungry i" in
San Francisco does not necessarily
appeal to Main Street, Nebraska.

can judge that
mood with any exactness. But unless
the American people have changed
dramatically in the last few months,
they are more likely to respond to
hope than to pessimism. Mr. Nixon
has been extremely adroit in taking
care to guard against complacency,
while at the same time insisting on
the fundamental health of American
society. At the beginning of the campaign, Mr. Kennedy tried hard to
make the same distinction between
fundamental health and superficial
sickness but as the campaign has developed, he may have been forced
into stressing the sickness more and
the health rather less.

Most Important Issue
Foreign policy is the most important issue in the campaign and here,
too, Mr. Nixon's appeal may prove
more effective. On Quemoy and Mat-s- u
Mr. Nixon' has declared himself
with a roughneck braggadocio more
appropriate to the days of Theodore
Roosevelt than to the
century, and his stand must have made
thoughtful men from coast to coast
wince with disgust. But how many
thoughtful people are there in any
society? Mr. Kennedy, in attempting
to counter Mr. Nixon's stand on the
offshore islands, has made great play
with the administration's failure to
save Cuba for democracy. If he hail
stopped there, Mr. Kennedy might
have regained lost ground. But, mistakenly, Mr. Kennedy did not stop
mid-twentie-

th

there: he announced that if he conies
to power he will help democratic opponents of the Castro regime. No prospective candidate can afford to shackle himself in advance to a pledge of
this sort, and giving it Mr. Kennedy
must have made some of his liberal
supporters wonder whether they can
safely vote for him. Thanks to this
pledge Mr. Nixon now looks more
statesmanlike than his rival even if
neither really knows how to isolate
the i .fection.

Anything can happen in the last
stages of a race as close as this. Mr.
Nixon is still a long way from the
White House. Mr. Kennedy has the
great advantage of being a Democrat
at a time when the Democrats arc
