End of Campaign Trail -Election Day,. 64 By CAL SKINNER, JR. and HAROLD WOLMAN Americans go to the polls today to elect their President. All political indicators point to a victory for President Lyndon B. Johnson. Most analysts are now preoccupied with the question of the extent of the President's expected victory rather than who the victor will be. Supporters of Sen. Barry Goldwater point to Harry Truman's upset victory in 1948 as evidence that victory for their candidaate is still not impossible. In that year all the polls and most of the political "experts" conceded the election to Republican can- didate Thomas Dewey weeks before the election. Harris, Gallup Favor Johnson However, this year the polls give President Johnson a lead of almost double that which Dewey held over Truman. The final Harris and Gallup Polls both show the President with 64 per cent of the vote to 36 per cent for Goldwater. Earlier in the campaign, Goldwater strategists announced that they intended to win by sweeping the solid South and adding the key states of Ohio, Illinois, California and Texts. It is now predicted that the Arizona senator can do no better than split even in the South, and polls show him far behind in all of the four key states. In fact, Goldwater seems certain of carry- ing only two states, Alabama and Mississippi, although he is rated as having a good chance in several other states. Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, South Dakota ,and Wyoming are all seen as very close. Plethora of Officeholders In addition to the Presidency, Americans will elect a plethora of officeholders on the national, state and local levels. In the Senate, where the Democrats currently have a 66-34 majority, 35 Senate seats are at stake. The House will re-elect all 435 of its' members, and its is predicted the Democrats will slightly improve upon their present 254-176 advantage. The GOP is given its best chance of picking up seats in the gubernatorial races where 18 of the 25 seats at stake are currently held by Democrats. All told, 34 of the 50 states now have Democratic governors. The margin of Johnson's expected victory is likely to deter- mine the outcome of several nationally important senatorial and gubernatorial races.- Michigan's Economic Progress MICHIGAN: Gov. George Romney is facing a stiff challenge from his Democratic opponent, Congressman-at-large Neil Staebler of Ann Arbor. Romney has campaigned on the platform of the economic progress Michigan has achieved under his administration. Staebler has tried to force Romney into either declaring his support or opposition to Sen. Goldwater. Romney has resisted, claiming he "accepts" the decision of the Republican convention but does not "endorse" it. Democrats are hoping that a Johnson landslide will carry Staebler in with the President. Sen. Philip Hart (Dem.) is expected to have little trouble in defeating his opponent Elly Peterson. Mrs. Peterson has never held public office before and is almost unknown in the state. She has been greatly hurt by lack of exposure in Detroit caused by the newspaper strike: Murphy vs. Salinger CALIFORNIA: At stake in California is the Senate seat of Democratic incumbent Pierre Salinger. Running a hard race against the former presidential press secretary is Republican George Murphy, a former movie star. Murphy is using to good advantage the charge that Salinger is a carpetbagger. In addition, because of Salinger's strong op- position to Proposition 14, a state constitutional amendment to Sir iAau :4Iaitty Seventy-Four Years of Editorial Freedom VOL.

However, most of the delin- quent houses have indicated they will turn in their statements by the end of the week, she said. A few houses mentioned that their national chapters had just completed new constitutions, and that they would be unable to re- submit their membership state- ments until the new documents arrive in the mail, Miss Albrecht said. However, these houses have indicated that they will cooper- ate fully with the Membership Committee, she added. "The tardiness of the houses involved was primarily due to their misunderstanding of what membership information the com- mittee was looking for," Miss Al- brecht commented. "However, a couple of the houses indicated that they had just received per- mission from their nationals to submit the membership mater- ial, and have not as yet had the time to complete their state- ments." The Membership Committee will meet on Thursday to validate all. )f the statements and to decide what action they will take against anv house which does not follow Sig Chi Injures Four In SMPedgeRaid House Presidents Deny Incident Occurred Between Two Fraternities A Sigma Alpha Mu pledge raid on Sigma Chi fraternity Saturday night resulted in a brawl which sent four SAM pledges to the hospital. Sources reported that the incident began when the pledges were sent to the Sigma Chi house and told to get a certain picture from it as a part of a scavenger hunt. (Traditionally, the SAM actives call the Sig Chi house to inform them that the pledges are coming. When the pledges arrive, the Sig Chis usually put up some resistance, then give the object to the pledges and let them go.) This time, the sources said, the pledges met with violence from the Sig Chis. Fraternity Presidents Frederick Lambert, '66, of Sigma Chi and: Robert Pincus, '66, of Sigma Alpha Mu, denied last night that any incident involving the two houses took place. Pincus said he had been unaware of any SAM pledges being taken to the hospital. He suggest-, ed that the injuries had resulted from a rough football scrimmage I 'or horseplay in the quadrangle. on Different Explanation C Lambert acknowledged t h a t there was a disturbance at the Sigma Chi house Saturday but ex- By JULIE FITZGERALD 1A.inP itdriff, e tl H caid that . i piue eL uiertlu n e y.

The SAM pledges were told that, at worst the Sig Chis would lock arms to prevent them from get- ting out. After several attempts, the pledges were told, the Sig Chis would let them go.. But this time the Sig Chis ap- parently had been drinking and were in high spirits after the foot- ball team's victory that day. When the pledges charged their line, the Sig Chis began throwing fists and. elbows at them. The Sig Chis easily overpower-s ed the pledges and began throwing; them around. Some pledges were { .' herded into a pile and surrounded! by several Sigs, while another jumped from a piano onto them.

Murphy is uncommitted on the issue. Because of the unpredictability of California politics and the fact that Salinger has had difficulty pinning Murphy to Goldwater's tail, the race is rated close. Goldwater May Hurt Percy ILLINOIS: Moderate Republican Charles. Percy is pitted against incumbent Democratic Governor Otto Kerner. A massive Phi Kappa Tau 'fraternity will run an information service tonight for those who want to follow their candidates without watching TV all night. The group will monitor all the networks to provide information on the various races. Its phones are, 665-9687, 665-9852 and 761-2330. Goldwater defeat is expected to drag Percy down, but very few percentage points will separate the two gubernatorial candidates. Kerner is aided by the traditionally effective machine of Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley, unity in the Democratic Party and the fact that he has been a fairly good governor. Dynamism, youth and a successful business career with Bell & Howell are Percy's main assets. Drawbacks to the Percy can- didacy are a divided Republican Party and the lack of issues to use against Kerner. For the first time in Illinois history the state legislature's lower house is being elected at-large. Look for the results next week. A Very Close Race NEW YORK: The outcome of the race between Robert Ken- nedy (Dem.) and Kenneth Keating (Rep.) is so doubtful that most analysts refuse to make a prediction, although final polls have given Kennedy a slight lead. Kennedy will have to overcome defections from traditional Democratic groups such as liberal intellectuals, organized labor (particularly the Teamsters Union) and Jews if he is to win. He must rely on his personal popularity with the public as a whole in order to counter these losses. Keating, a liberal, who has refused to support his party's presidential candidate, must pick up votes from liberals while not losing conservative Republicans. Keating has accused Kennedy of being a "carpetbagger" who cynically wants to use New York as a stepping-stone to the presidency. Kennedy, who until he was nominated in Septem- ber was a Massachusetts resident, has countered by attacking Keating's record as less liberal than the senator is now admitting. Young Gains Support OHIO: The Republicans one "safe" Senate seat is now rated marginal. Two weeks ago the election of Congressman-at-large Robert Taft, Jr., was considered certain, both because of his name and because of the powerful Republican organization of Ray Bliss. ,Since then incumbent Democratic Senator Stephen Young, who was swept in on the 1958 Right-to-Work issue, has gained support as Johnson's potential margin of victory has risen. Taft's chances are still rated at better than even, but if Johnson's margin is more than 500,000 votes, he will be in real trouble. Also in danger of defeat is Congressman Oliver Bolton (Rep.), who is running for Taft's at-large seat against Democrat Robert Sweeney.

UNIQUE TYPE OF NATIONALISM: Murphy Says Indiat Avoids Militarism By NANCY STEIN India is a great power but does not choose to act as one because of its own ideas of the power role, Rhoads Murphy of the geography department said last night in the Multipurpose Room of the UGLI. His lecture on the role of India in today's world was sponsored by the International Students Association. Murphy said that India claims the status of a great power be- cause of its size, population, geographical location and economic potential. However, he pointed out, India has declined to play the role of a military power. Murphy said a major reason for this attitude is the unique type of nationalism of India. He explained that nationalism is essentially a negative concept because it implies not only the superiority of one n r'.,ra, an vpr +hn,. hniih ,len the inferiorito nf nothe nntries This policy is termed non-alignment, Murphy pointed out that this does not mean India is neutral. According to the Indian way of thought, neutralism means that one does not care about issues in question. India does care and has become concerned with world peace, Murphy said. India believes that the way to preserve world order is to remain outside political blocs, and to maintain her policy of non-alignment. Murphy felt that "India's voice in this role carries more weight than if it were speaking as a great political and military power that it could become." The policy of non-alignment has suffered a few setbacks, Murphy said, but none of sufficient impact to invalidate the theory. Its biggest test was the Chinese invasion that surprised the country. However, the moral commitment to the theory of non-violence prevailed.
