q RAGE SIB TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY CAMPUS GOES REPUBLICAN: Daily Polls Pick Losing Candidates By JERRY HELMAN As Maine goes, so goes the Uni- versity, although the nation doesn't. A survey of Daily polls of the student body and faculty members showed that in every election since 1932," the University has gone against the national trend in f a- voring the Republican Party in presidential elections. * * * PAST DAILY presidential sur- veys have been complete with riots and' demands for retractions. In 1932, a formal balloting was held by this paper in con- junction with the Union in which one-third of the students and faculty voiced opinions. The results were: Hoover-1851; Roosevelt-880; Thomas (Socialist Party) -516; Foster (Communist Party) -40. A group of student socialists raided the Student Publications Bldg. the next day and charged that the poll was a "fraud." They hinted that Republicans subsi- dized the paper and threatened to "stop the presses unless we get a full retraction." The charge was the result of a prank played by a member of the Young Republicans, who cast four ballots'in an attempt to check the vigilance of the voting booth's guardians. He informed The Dai- ly's managing editormof what he had done and the mistake was rectified. $ome quick thinking on the part of the editor, Frank Gilbreath (of "Cheaper By the Dozen" fame) avoided further trouble. He drew line across the isle of the city Asian Club Established Ont Campus In the belief that East and West should meet and exchange cul- tures, an All Asian Association has been formed on campus so that students from Asia and America may benefit from learning about each other's customs and civiliza- tions. Last December students from China, Japan, Ceylon, Pakistan, Thialand, the Middle East, Burma, Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines and India met to sponsor the As- sociation and to draw up a con- stitution. In explaining the need for the association, B. V. Govin- daraj, grad, organizer of the as- sociation, said "Sometimes it is not possible for students of one country to satisfy their desire to propagate the culture and civili- zations of their respective coun- tries." The foreign students at the University tend to live with their respective countrymen, thus snatching away a chance to know or meet others." This obviously nullifies the foreign travel expe- rience that is supposed to be gained by a trip abroad," he add- ed. Research Club Hears Lecture Miss Cora DuBois, Director of Research at the Institute of Inter- national Education, last night ad- dressed the Women's Research Club of the University, on the top- ic: "arious Concepts of Culture and Their Bearing on Problem Solving." Stressing the distinction between the empirical study of individual cultures, and the more abstract study of their interrelationships, Miss DuBois, said that more work on the empirical level is neces- sary before study can ascend to the completely theoretical level. Objectors Invited To Meeting Today All students interested in the rights and position of conscien- tious objectors are invited to at- tend a meeting of the Fellowship of Reconciliation from 7 to 8:30 p.m. today in the Wesleyan Lounge of the Methodist Church. Read Daily Classifieds room and said that the rioters were to go no farther. They didn't. * * * . COMMUNISM became an issue in the '36 survey. Ina faculty poll, Earl Browder, the Communist Party candidate, received 10 votes. When queried by a Detroit report- er, Regent James O. Murfin said he thought the 10 should be dis- missed. However, Regent Junius E. Beal came to their defense by maintaining that "it is a good thing we do have some Commu- nists here. It is up to our youth and our intelligent men associ- ated with youth to keep our thinking progressive." Nothing further came of the matter. In a three day poll among stu- dents, in which booths were set up 'in the Union and League, the GOP candidate, Alf M. Landon, beat out FDR by 26 votes. Selection Test Given To Aid Drafted Men Men interested in flying for the U. S. Air Force if they are drafted can obtain information from an Air Force selection team starting tomorrow, according to Lt. Col. Samuel R. Beckley, professor of air science and tactics. The team will interview pros- pective air men and furnish appli- cations for a flying training eli- gibility test from noon to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow and every day through next Tuesday except Saturday and Sunday in Rm. 3K in the Union. Favorable results on the test give a two year qualification for flight training. If an applicant is drafted, he can show his test re- sult and request placement in the Air Force flight training program. Lt. Col. Beckley emphasized that taking the test might be par- ticularly advantageous for non- veteran men who are above the freshmen level, and added that there is no obligation involved for those seeking information. The results were: Landon-1,- 849; Roosevelt - 1,823; Thomas - 178; Browder-102. Campus Democrats claimed a moral victory, pointing to Hoov- er's overwhelming victory in '32. The results of the survey were included in a nationwide poll of colleges taken by The Prince- tonian, which gave victory to Roosevelt, 39,589 to 36.040 for Lan- don. THE POLLS during the elec- tions of '40, '44 and '48 apparent- ly caused little stir on campus and no incidents. In 1940, the survey was tak- en during all-campus elections, with Wendell Wilkie beating out the third term seeking Roose- velt, 1159-854. Norman Thomas received 172 votes while Earl Browder supporters numbered only 52. Thomas E. Dewey was victorious in 1944, 781 to 559 for FDR, a 7-5 ratio majority with one-sixth of the students voting. Since the Communist Party was not on the state ballot, votes for their can- didate were not counted. * * * THE 1948 election appeared to arouse little interest on campus. Five Daily night editors on the eve of election day stood on the Diag for a half-hour arguing loudly with one another about the candidates and hardly drew an in- quisitive stare from passing stu- dents. In a poll of the West Quad, the only one taken on campus that year, Dewey was favored on 54.5 per-cent of the 1350 ballots cast, with President Truman getting 20.9, Thomas 10, Wallace 7.5 and J. Strom Thurmond six pex-cent of the total vote. * * * THE PRESENT GOP hopeful, Dwight Eisenhower, is by far the popular choice of students, win- ning The Daily straw votes taken during registration last spring and this fall by a considerable margin. A poll of faculty members will be forthcoming late this week, and if the trend holds true, Eisenhower should be the popular choice. Application For Service Test .Due Selective Service officials have set the deadline for submitting ap-. plications for the Dec. 4 Selective Service College Qualification Test at midnight Nov. 1. Students may obtain test appli- cation blanks at their local draft boards and should mail the com- pleted applications to' Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey. Students whose academic year will end in January 1953 have been urged to take the Dec. 4 test so they will have a test score in their cover sheets before their ac- ademic year ends. At that time their draft boards will reopen and reconsider their cases to deter- mine whether they should be de- ferred as students. The criteria for deferment as an undergraduate student are ei- ther a satisfactory score (70) on the test or specified rank in class (upper half of male freshman class, upper two thirds of male sophomore class or upper three fourths of male junior class.) However, the criteria are flex- ible and standards may be raised anytime necessary for manpower demands. Events of the Week This calendar inaugurates a regular Tuesday feature of The Daily. It has beencompiled for the purpose of acquainting the student body with events of interest to the whole campus which will occur in the coming week./ TUESDAY SRA This I Believe Series-"Man in His Universe" by Dr. Ashley Montagu 8:30 p.m. Rackham Lecture Hall.
