Election Poll Shows Faculty Members Favor Stevenson Tu

o to One

By EDWARD GERULDSEN
University faculty members pre-'
fer Adlai E. Stevenson for Presi-
dent by a margin of nearly 2-1,
a Daily survey indicates.
Of the 331 respondents in the
survey, 207 or 62.5 per cent named
Stevenson as their choice for the
presidency, while 116, or 35.3 per
cent favored President Dwight D.
Eisenhower. Only two said they
were as yet undecided or had no
preference.
Students Like Ike
In a survey of student political
opinion made by The Daily earlyj
in October, the situation was re-
versed. Among the students, Presi-
dent Eisenhower proved to be
the favorite by the same 2-1 ma-
jority.

The faculty survey was con-
ducted by means of post cards
distributed to each of the schools
and colleges on the main campus,
On the card, each faculty member
was asked to specify his school or
college, department, general party
affiliation, and presidential choice.
Of the more than 1,000 cards
distributed, 331 were returned.
These were broken down accord-
ing to school or college, depart-
ment, party affiliation and Presi-
dential choice.
Only 45.3 Per Cent Dems
Although 62.5 per cent (207)
of the respondents came out for
Stevenson, only 45.3 per cent (147)
called themselves Democrats. Of
the remaining 60 who chose Ste-
venson, 56 were Independents
planning to vote Democratic and

four were Republicans who crossed vote for Ike, while six percent of

party lines.
Of the 118 (35.3 per sent)
respondents who lined up behind
President Eisenhower, 80. or 25.7
per cent of the total, listed them-
selves as Republicans. Thirty-three
declared themselves Independents,
and three were Democrats who
bolted the party.
Of the total of 90 Independents,
58 backed Stevenson, 33 liked Ike,
and the remaining one was un-
decided.
Party Line Crossers
The percentage of respondents
on each side who expressed an
affiliation with one party, yet
planned to vote for the other
party's candidate, favored the
Democrats. Only two per cent of
the declared Democrats would

the affirmed Republicans planned
to vote for Stevenson.
Broken down into schools, the
heaviest score for Stevenson came
from the literary college. Of 213
respondents, 167, or almost 80 per
cent favor Adlai, 42, or, about
20 per cent like Ike, and the re-
mainder affiliate themselves with
a number of minority factions or
are undecided, Among the latter,
there is on Christian Democrat
backing Eugenio Pacelli, one Soc-
ialist, backing Enoch A. Holtwick,
one undecided Independent, and
one Republican who refused to
favor either candidate.

The 36-year-old diplomat, who

letter made public today by Prime
Minister Anthony Eden.
Nutting has been a steadily ris-

He told Prime Minister Eden he

of British Middle East policies.

Set for Leap~
Into Egypt'
LONDON ()-The fateful .leap
of British and French forces into
Egypt appeared ever more immi-
nent today.
Appeals from the UN for a
softer course were brushed aside
and the die was cast for force
by Britain and- France.
Egyptian reports circulated by
roundabout means claimed the
British and French tried to land
on the Suez Canal yesterday but
were repulsed, with losses, by shore
guns. Egypt said enemy troop
carriers were sunk and captured.
The British and French denied
any such losses.
The final statements through
midnight from the British and
French said their warplanes still
were preparing the way for their
land forces to kick off jhe offen-
sive.
In Washington, the Egyptian
Embassy released a statement from
Cairo, saying:
"We are at war with Britain
and France."
This apparently was intended
to counter British-French refer-
ences to the fighting as "a' police
action."
Massing of Syrian, Iraqi and
Jordanian troops in Jordan posed
the threat of a second front on
Israel's eastern border.'
The Israelis said on the western
front their advance patrols had
reached the Suez Canal.
The main Israeli forces were
reported about nine, miles from the
waterway and moving 'freely,
throughout the Sinai Peninsula,
where fighting has stopped. -
An Israeli spokesman said thou-
sands of prisoners had been taken
but most Egyptian officers had
fled, leaving their units to be
captured in Sinai.
Prime Minister Anthony Eden
told the nation in a TV address
that Britain and France had acted
to prevent a greater conflict in
the Middle East.
