per cent of the ballots in eith

fltion, followed by Kennedy
on 52 per cent of the ballots,
Rockefeller on 47, Nixon on
42, Lindsay on 21, Johnson on
18. Reaean on 16 and Wal
lace on 10. The rest of the
candidates had only small to
tals.
Rockefeller, however, led,
In total number of second and
third place votes with 244,608,
followed by McCarthy with
238,233, and Nixon with 213,-
040. ;
Rockefeller was also men
tioned more often as a sec
ond or third choice behind the
two leadine Democrats than
was Nixon. For example, of
those who voted for McCar
thy 42 per cent voted for
Rockefeller as a second or
third choice to 19 per cent for
Nixon. More Kennedy voters
named McCarthy as their
second or third choice than
vice . versa. Sixty-six per cent
of those who voted for Ken
nedy would take McCarthy as
a second or third choice, com
pared to 56 per cent who
would take Kennedy if they
couldn't get McCarthy.
More computations due
Bob Harris, executive di
rector of Choice '68, said
there would be many more
results from the computer to
be compiled from cross
checking various votes
votes against one another.
Some of the early results
from such cross-checking in
eluded:
Not surprisingly, 85 per
cent of those who named Mc
Carthy as their first choice
preferred either a phased re
duction of military activity or
immediate withdrawal from
Vietnam. Kennedy followed
with 69 per cent of his sup
porters favoring one of those
alternatives. Reagan and
Nixon supporters were those
most heavily in favor of an
increase in military activity
activity in Vietnam.
McCarthy ran strongest
on the two coasts, with Ken
nedy generally running sec
ond. McCarthy ran weakest
in the South, where Nixon
ran strongest but Kennedy
ran a surprising second.
There was no basic differ
ence in voting among age
groups, which Harris said
presented a good argument
for letting 18-year-olds vote.
About 44 per cent of the vot
ers will be eligible to vote in
November. Most of the can
didates ran about the same
among those eligible to vote
and those not eligible to vote.
Kennedy got more Dem
ocratic votes than McCarthy
but the Minnesota senator
was the overwhelming choice
of independents, beating Ken
nedy 161,000 to 56,000, and
also held a slight edge over
him in Republican votes.
Rockefeller got slightly more
Democratic votes than Nixon
but the former vice president
was the overwhelming favor
ite among Republicans, lead'
ing Rockefeller by 74,000
votes? Neither of the two Re-
publicans did very well
among independents.
Thirty-seven per cent of the
students listed themselves as
Democrats, 29 per cent as Re.
publicans, and 33 per cent as
independents.

people know that their vote
won't be wasted."

The organizers of the Steve
Abbott Defense Fund are pre
paring a s t u d e n t-faculty-
sponsored plea, according to
Father Donald Imming of the
Newman Center who is coor
dinating the drive.
Abbott has been indicted by
a grand jury for refusing to
be indicted into the Arm y.
His case is pending in Fed
eral District Court in Lincoln.
If found guilty, Abbott could
receive a five-year jail sen
tence or a $10,000 fine.
Imming said the fund is di
recting its drive primarily
towards the campus. There
will be a booth for contribu
tions in the Nebraska Union
during the week of May 6-11.
Mrs. Eugene Abbott, Ab
bott's mother commented
that she does not know when
her son will be. arraigned.
Hopefully, she explained, this
will occur after he completes
his last quarter next June.
The trial, Mrs. Abbott stat
ed, will occur early this sum
mer. The case will be han
dled, she added, by a lawyer
from Atlanta, Ga. Imming
said Lincoln attorney Pat
Healey will assist in present
ing Abbott's case.
