Wendell Willk?j zoomed from aecond place with 40.1 percent last week to 64.2 percent in the bal loting in this week's DAILY NE BRASKAN presidential poll in which President Roosevelt dropped from a slight lead of 50.9 percent last week to follow Willkie with only 35.8 percent today. A gain as pheoomonal as this was entirely unpredicted. Even tho the growth of Willkie's strength the nation over in the past week has been rapid this upswing from a virtual tie to a lead of 28.4 percent is hard to reckon with. Much Willkie activity. One factor which might be partly responsible for this jump may have been the activity of Willkie and republican organiza tions against the comparative in activity of the Roosevelt and dem ocratic club on the campus. Then, to further Influence opin ion, might be the interest in Gov. Harold Stassen of Minnesota, who will be the principal speaker at the republican rally in the coli seum next Tuesday night.

BRASKAN sincerely tried to con duct this poll with the greatest possible amount of accuracy. Wc, as we did last week, took a 5 percent snmple of the entire uni versity (excluding medicine at Omaha), with the number of ques tionnaires proportionately dhided among the colleges. A proportional number of bal lots were also taken of men and women students. Persons polled last week were not polled this week. Despite all these precau tions for accuracy, the element of chance may participate. The de gree with which chance, as to per sons questioned and the like, in fluenced the outcome of this poll is not discernable. Willkie wins ag. Willkie carried ag campus 65.8 percent against Roosevelt's 34.2 percent. These figures are almost identical with the general outcome of the poll. Ag campus figures present a comparison of last week's poll with this week's Roosevelt and Willkie tied on ag campus last week, and Willkie took the same lead on ag as he did in the totals for the poll in all colleges. This amazing similarity would (See POLL, page 4) States or an alien residing in th United States and who, on the registration date . . . has attained the 21st anniversary of his birth and has not attained the 36th an niversary of the day of his birth, is required to . . . submit to reg istration."
