smI THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1953 REPEATS '48 SUCCESS: Center Picks the Outcome 'SOAPY' REMEMBERS: Popular Court Official Receives Special Gift I DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN ll I I p' ' 3 ! C C * By ERIC VETTER A near perfect prediction of the outcome of the presidential elec- tion was reported by the Survey Research Center yesterday. . The results of the Center's cross country survey, which took opin- ions from over 2,000 people in Oc- tober, showed President Dwight D. Eisenhower had the support of 55 percent of the public at that time. s * IN 1948 A similar survey showed the late switch of independent voters'to Harry Truman and ac- curately pegged the election out- coie. An analysis of the Center's findings revealed: 1. Eisenhower received one fifth bf his total votes from Democrats. 2. Independents voted for Ike by a two to one margin. 3. First time voters preferred Eisenhower by a four to three margin. 4. People with college educa- tions, professional people, .And those with a $5,000 plus income voted two to one for the Gen- eral. 5. White collar workers, who split evenly in 1948, swung into Eisenhower's column by a five to three margin. 6. Farmers switched from the Democrats and went heavily Re- publican. 7. Traditionally heavy Demo- cratic groups like big city dwell- ers and Catholics divided al- most equally between the two parties. 8. Over 90 percent of married women voted like their husbands. (This is striking when noted that popular opinion believed women would vote in a block for Ike.) * * * THE CENTER conducted the survey 4iy interviews before and after the election. The post elec- tion interviews showed about one- third of those voting had split their ballot. Ike received a much higher proportion of these, indi- cating that his ticket did not benefit as much as he did by de- viating Democrats. Extension Courses "Primitive Art," "The Modern Novel" and "Social Psychology of Organizations"' are'three of the University Extension Service cours- es given this semester. Information about these and other courses may be had by call- ing Mrs. Charles A. Fisher, super- visor of the Ann Arbor extension class program, at 3-1511, Ext. 2887. CENTER WORKERS ANALYZE STUDY RESULTS * * * * Center's Interviewers Have Their Problems By MIKE WOLFF Interviewing for the Survey Re- search Center is not without occu- pational hazards. A Pulaski, Va. interview during ADDRESSES were chosen In the election survey by first picking 66 representative counties, includ- ing 12 major cities, on the basis By HARRY LUNN Edward Webber is sporting a new green polka-dot bow tie these days. Gov. G. Mennen Williams sent the fancy neckwear to the popular county circuit court officer and deputy sheriff as a special gift on his recently celebrated 80th birth- day. WELL-KNOWN IN the county where he has lived all but two years of his life, the hearty octo- genarian pursues an active round of work and activities' that might easily tire a younger man. Last Friday, for instance, he put in a 14-hour day at the courtroom where a lengthy jury trial remained undecided for hours. On the job regularly with only one sick leave in 10 years of court experience, Webber makes his work a hobby. * * e BORN ON A Chelsea farm, the octogenarian went to country school and lived the small town life typical before the turn of the century. Today the 240 acre farm, in the Webber family for 115 years, is part of the huge Chrys- ler proving grounds-a symbol of the changing complexion of this area. Over the past six decades Web- ber has pursued a variety of oc- cupations, but they were "all in- teresting-something I liked do- ing." Part of the time he worked at Jackson Prison, and for 20 years ran a movie theater in Chel- sea where he went through the complicated advent of talking pic- tures. In 1939 he left the movie busi- ness and made a two-year visit to California, and then returned to his native Washtenaw County and present work. Phi Sigma Society To Sponsor Talks * Profs. Pierre Dansereau of the botany department and Fred E. Dickinson, chairman of the de- partment of wood technology, will be the speakers at the Phi Sigma lecture to be given at 8 p.m. to- morrow in the East Conference Room of the Rackham Bldg. Haugh Talk Today A's the first in this semester's series of lectures on American culture for foreign students, Prof. Robert Haugh of the English De- partment will speak on "Contem- porary American Literature" at 8 p.m. today in the Madelon Pound House. the recent election survey was con- ducted only a few hundred yards from the flames of a large forest fire. s * * THERE WAS no turning back from the task, for the Center's survey techniques prevent the in- terviewer, who is usually a wom- an, from selecting -the person to be interviewed. This requirement stems from the highly developed selection method known as probability sampling the Center employs in its studies. The procedure differs from the sampling done by most newspaper polls. Under the plan every individual in the population is insured an equal chance of being chosen for an interview. The choice is made in the Center's Ann Arbor office and requires an elaborate file of maps, aerial photographs and house addresses. -Daily-Betsy Smith ED WEBBER .. .Soapy sent a tie of income and degree of urbaniza- tion. The survey was set up to also insure a sampling of the four national regions in the final ran- dom choice of addresses. One of the main problems faced by Center interviewers was finding people at home. In some instances interviewers, who are picked and trained by the Cen- ter's eight regional supervisors, made several calls before finally getting their man. Center worker Gerald Gurin, who directed the study with War- ren Miller and Center director Prof. Angus Campbell, said a spe- cific person had to be interviewed at each address to insure accur- acy in the survey. He pointed out that less work- ing class people are home during the day and also a woman is of- ten the first to answer the door- bell. Another problem in interviewing is the person who refuses to be interviewed. Center workers re- ported, however, that fortunately there are usually no more than two or three out of a hundred who suspect the interviewer of being a salesman in disguise. Heifetz Tours Take Violinist Over World Violinist Jascha Heifetz appear- ing at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in Hill Auditorium, estimates that he has traveled the equivalent of "seven trips to the moon" in the course of his career. The Russian-born violin virtu- oso, who will make his eleventh appearance in Ann Arbor Tuesday, began his study of the violin in 1904 at the age of three when his father gave him a quarter-size fiddle and began teaching him to play. AT FIVE he entered the Royal School of Music in Vilna, Russia, his birthplace. When he was nine, Heifetz was accepted as a pupil by the famous violinist Leopold Auer at the Imperial Conservatory in St. Petersburg. At the outbreak of World War I he was touring the Scandi- navian countries. Later, in the midst of the Revolution of 1917, the Heifetz family fled from Russia to the United States. On October 27, 1917 Heifetz as- tounded the music world when he made his American debut in Car- negie Music Hall. Tickets for Tuesday's concert will be on sale at the University Music Society in Burton Tower from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4:45 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. 18 Engineers Earn All A's (Continued from Page 4) to the meaning of words in their bear- ing on daily life; the linguistic bases of sane thinking and sane conduct; the physiological and psychological foundations of meaning -the mind- body problem.
