Notice to Veterans
No books or supplies for tlie
current semester will be Is
sued to veterans after Satur
day, Dec. 20, 1947. Because of
the time involved in fathering:
together all charges from sev
eral stores for such books and
supplies, which in turn causes
a delay in billing: the Veterans
Administration and in being:
reimbursed, the university has
found it necessary to establish
this deadline.
Veterans who will graduate
at the end of the present
semester may use their pur
chase authorizations after Dec.
20 for the rental of caps and
gowns for the Commencement
exercises, provided such exer
cises are held.
Veterans in the Graduate
college who will receive their
degrees at the close of the
present semester must file
their claims for approved thesis

Poll Results Show UN Students
Prefer Dewey for President
BY SAM WARREN
Special Features Kriltor,
The JJally Nebraskan
If the 1948 presidential election
were held tomorrow, Thomas E.
Dewey would take city campus
students' preference over Presi
dent Harry S. Truman, with Har
old Stassen, Dwight G. Eisen
hower, Robert A. Taft following
in that . order, according to a
four-questfon Daily Nebraskan
poll during the last week.
However, the nearly 175 stu
dents quizzed, felt that Truman
would win over Dewey. Eisen
hower shifted places with Stas
sen from the preference list to
take third place in the expected-to-win
class.
Primary Unique
The poll was occasioned by a
recent announcement from the of
fice of the Secretary of State of
Nebraska that the April 13th Ne
braska primary will carry lists of
probable contenders for the Dem
ocratic and Republican presiden
tial nominees, in the first effort
of its kind on the part- of any
state to indicate relative strength
of the several candidates for nom
ination. The idea to include this public
opinion barometer on the state
primary ballot came from a bi
partisan committee of 40 interest
ed Nebraskans, headed by Ray
mond A. McConnell, jr., editor of
The Lincoln Journal; Vice-Chairman
Robert Crosby, present lieu
tenant governor; and vice-chairman
Mrs. Sidney M. Smith, sec
retary of the Omaha civic im
provement committee.
These three outlined the idea to
37 others who agreed to circulate
petitions for the possible1 candi
dates so that the names could be
included on the primary ballot. A
concerted effort was made to
chose a fair proportion of Demo
crats and Republicans on the
committee, including such quar
ters as young people, labor lead
ers, daily and weekly newspaper
editors, leaders in and women's
circles.
Although it has been possible
fn the past for a candidate to in
struct the Secretary of State to
withdraw his name from the pri
mary ballot, despite signatures of
400 petitioners, the bi-partisan
committee questioned the legality
of this prerogative, since-the pri
mary is not technically an elec
tion. Hurried checking on the part
of Secretary Frank Marshall
proved the committees supposi
tion correct.
Cannot Withdraw' Names
Consequently none of the can
didates in whose favor a re
quired number of petitions are
circulated can withdraw even if
they should wish it. Those on the
committee's tentative list assan
nounccd recently are Truman and
Wallace; Dewey, Eisenh o w e r,
MacArthur, Martin, Stassen, Taft,
Vandenberg; Brlcker and Earl
Warren (who were not included
on The Daily Ncbraskan's list by
oversight).
The four questions asked by
over 15 Daily Nebraskan report
ers sent to various portions of the
campus, and the break-down of
the 174 students answers were as
follows:
1. Do you approve the Secre
tary of State's plan to make the
Nebraska preferential primary an
indicator for the 1948 presidential
campaign by including all candi
dates mentioned for both Repub
lican and -Democratic nomina
tions? Yes No

candidates have been included on
the list?

The poll returns from og cam
pus, which reached The Danly Ne
braskan office to6 late to be tab
ulated, showed, however, an in
teresting fact. Of the more than
50 students question, the majority
felt that Eisenhower would be
elected president in 1948, with
Dewey and Truman following,
while that campus wished Dewey
to win first, with Eisenhower sec
ond and Truman third.
