YM-YW STUDENT POLL
Thursday, October 16, T95T
261 Quizzed On Political Belie
Nearly 10 percent of Univer
sity students do not know both
names of the vice presidential
candidates.
Or at least such was indicated
by a poll of 261 students con
ducted this week by YMCA and
YCWA.
The poll showed that 20 of
the students Interviewed did not
know the names of the major
candidates for the vice presi
dency. All 261, however, cor
rectly idnetified the presidential
nominees.
Of those interviewed, 166 in
dicated that Gen. Dwight Eisen
hower was their choice for
President of the United States.
Stevenson supporters numbered
92, with three students uncer
tain. Approximately 300 question
naires were circulated by the
Battle for Ballots Commission of
the YWCA between 1 and 3 p.
m. Monday. Students were in
terviewed by poll-takers in the
Union, Love Library, on Ag cam
pus and in off-campus coffee
shops.
In addition to showing the
trend of student thinking on
politics, the poll was designed
to Indicate how well students
are Informed on political figures
and Issues.
According to Neala O'Dell,
chairman of the sponsoring com
mission, every effort was made
to obtain a true cross-section of
students.
Nearly one-third of the stu
dents polled by the YW-YM
failed to name correctly both
candidates for governor of the
state of Nebraska. One hundred
seventy-nine were able to name
Robert B. Crosby, Republican
nominee, and Walter R. Raecke,
Democratic nominee.
Nineteen, however, said they
believed the present governor,
Val Peterson, was a candidate
for re-election. Four of those
Interviewed named Lincoln

In the primary election last
April.
Th questionnaires listed four
United States Senators and one
Representative, asking students
to identify the party affiliation
of each. The Congressmen were
Sens. John Cabot Lodge Jr.,
(R-Mass.), HarryjByrd (D-Va.),
WifWlliam 7. Jenner, (R-nd.), "an
Joseph R. McCarthy, (R-Wis.),
and Representative Sam Ray
burn (D-Texas).1
One hundred fifty-four stu
dents failed to identify the party
of Senator Jennes '01 correctly
labeling him a Republican.
Sixty-eight missed the party of
Senator McCarthy 193 were
right in calling him a Republi
can. Fifty-five were wrong and
206 were right in indentifying
Democratic Senator Byrd. Forty
were wrong and 221 were right
in naming Senator Lodge a Re
publican. Congressman Rayburn led the
identification quia with only 36
students failing to call him a
Democrat. Two hundred twenty
five were accurate.
In addition to asking students
who their presidential choice
was, the questionnaire also
asked, "If you were to register
at this time, would you register
Democratic or Republican?" The
same number as supported Eis
senhower, 166, declared they
would register as Republicans.
Ninety-two, the same number as
favored Stevenson, said they
would sign as Democrats. Three
students were uncertain.
The final question In the poll
was, "How many issues of the
campaign can you name?" The
average number of Issues (all
suggestions being accepted) was
three from each person. Sixty
five students however, failed to
name a single one.
Corruption, foreign policy and
Communism in government
were most frequently men
tioned. The poll was conducted in
conjunction with the Y's mock
election scheduled for Oct. 31.
Results of voting for presiden
tial candidates will be com
pared with the preferences indi
cated in the poll.

White Lists
Five Points
For Peace
YW 'Meet dears
Democratic leader
Foreign affairs is the big issue
in the currenf political campaign,
Mrs. John Browning White local
Democratic leader said, Wednes
day in a YWCA political meeting.
Five points for ending war
threats and securing world
peace were outlined by Mrs.
White.
1. Working with friendly nations
to halt Communist aggression.
2. Conference table agreements
to stoD the Korean contact ana
curb rearmament and war mon
serine.
3. Build up American aeienses
in a Doint that mutual disarma
ment of the United States and her
enemies would be the only sure
way to keep irom Deing rumeu
nationally. Then bargain at a
peace table to end rearmament.
4. Extend assistance programs
such as the Marshall Plan, Point
Four and World Health programs.
5. Continue to progress in
America socially and economic
ally.
The United Nations had no re
course, she said, but to enter into
a police action when North Korea
attacked South Korea. She pointed
out that the United States, being
a member of the UN could only
do as did when the Korean situa
tion arose.
External Communism, Mrs.
White said, is a greater danger
than internal Communism.
But she agreed with a YW
member who said that Russian
Communism is different from the
Communistic teachings of Karl
Marx which is the concept held by
.nany Americans;.
for which they signed up.
Freshmen comments were var
ied as to the value of the mart.
One coed remarked that it was
a fine way for the freshmen to be
come acquainted with the organ'
izations, and to find out which one
best suited their individual inter
ests.
Another said she felt too many
activities were being thrown at
her at once, and it was difficult
to decide for which ones she
would like to work.
Booths, decorated to illustrate
the various functions and duties
of each organization, gave the
400 freshmen an idea of what
would be expected of them in
the activity. Representatives
gave additional information to
those interested.
There was a steady attendance
throughout the afternoon, but ac
cording to Jean Speidel, NUCWA
representative, th largest crowd
was during the last half hour
when all freshmen were out of
classes.
The 17 organizations repre
sented werei BABW, All Uni
versity Fund, Associated Women
Students, YWCA, NUCWA,
Wesley .Foundation, .Women's
Athletic Association, Tassels,

A suggestion regarding parking
fines, was submitted to the Coun
cil by Rocky Yapp, parking com
mittee member and the Council
voted to submit the report, as a
suggestion, to the administration
The Council did this, Yapp said,
to "determine the legality of such
a plan."
Yapp's suggestion, which
called for fines for parking
violations, to supplement or take
the place of rustication (re
moval of a student from school
for a week.)
According to Yapp, J. P. Col
bert, Dean of Student Affairs, re
quested a concrete suggestion be
fore he could consider the matter
and determine its legality. Coun
cil members stressed that in case
a parking fine plan is approved
by the administration, the Coun
cil will then give its offical opin
ion of the proposal.
Yapp's suggestion reads as fol
lows:
'The "Student Council of the
University submits the following
suggestions to the administration,
concerning existing parking reg
ulations:
A. Parking fines should be in
vestigated as an intermediate step
between the third parking viola
tion and rustication. The amount
of the fine would be determined
by a joint faculty-student com
mittee. Regulations concerning
the administering of these fines
would be as follows:
"1. Having received two
warning tickets, and upon re-

ceipt of the third ticket, the
parking violator will proceed to
the campus police headquarters
and pay a specified fine.
"2. The specified fine will be
paid on every ticket after the
second ticket has been issued.
"3. If the student refuses to
pay or neglects to pay the fine
within one week of the date of
the violation, he will then be
rusticated from the University.
"5. The campus police will
handle all violations.
"B. The funds derived from the
parking fines would be placed in
scholarship fund, sponsored by
the University Student Council.'

NU Budget
Peterson Says Question
Lies With Taxpayers
Gov. Val Peterson discussed the
requested budget for the Univer
sity in a press interview held
Monday evening.
Governor Peterson admitted
that he had not seen the official
budget that was submitted by the
University, but was basing his
comments on newspaper articles
that carried the amount for the
coming biennium. .
When asked about the 31 per
cent over-all increase in the
budget he said, "It has been my
hope that all state institutions in
the coming biennium would be
able to operate on the same ap
propriation that they did in the
past biennium."
On the question of salaries paid
University officials, the Governor
declared that "These sums are out
of line with the salaries paid in
the Statehouse." He went on to
add that the solution was not to
cut University salaries, but to in
crease those of state officials.
Governor Peterson said that the
salaries of state officials are not
always in keeping with those of
University officials when the com
parative importance and respon
sibility of the respective positions
are considered.
He said that he could not
pass official judgment on the
proposed budget until he had
studied it carefully. "There is
still the big question I have
raised every two years, how
much can the taxpayers afford
to pay, granting the worthwhile
ness and desirability of the ac
tiivties involved."
He went on to add that the Uni
versity is only one of the four
big spending agencies and that the
other three would have equally
Igood reasons for equal increases.
