l EDITOR'S NOTE: The
following is a current analysis
of the statistics compiled in
the Choice 68 election)
The late Senator Robert F.
Kennedy captured 34 of the
vote cast at the Nebraska
University last April to win
a local plurality in the Choice
68 national collegiate
presidential primary.
The results were released
last May after the Daily
Nebraskan had ceased
publication. This is the first
time University totals have
been published.
While Kennedy was the top
vote getter at NU, Senator
Eugene McCarthy received
plurality of the votes cast by
1,072,000 persons on 1200
campuses across the nation.
Kennedy was followed here
by Richard Nixon, 2 3 Co ,
McCarthy, 21, and Govern
or Nelson Rockefeller, 10.
Of some 18.000 eligible
voters at the University, only
2,656 took the effort t o
register their presidential
preference in the primary last
April, held in conjunction with
the ASUN general elections.
Students indicated their
first three preferences for
president. Analysis of these
three ballotings indicate the
campus generally voted for
a peace candidate.
On the second ballots,
McCarthy received 25 of the
total vote, Kennedy 21,
Rockefeller, 14, and Nixon
fell to fourth with 13.
ON THIRD BALLOTS,
Rockefeller took 18,
McCarthy, 17, Kennedy,
12, and Nixon was again
fourth with 11.
Lending support to the
conclusion the campus sup
ported a peace candidate is
the fact that University
Democrats su pported
Rockefeller on their third
ballots while campus
Abraham

demo peace candidates
j Republicans
I McCarthy as
supported
their t h i r ri
choice.
Nationally, McCarthy took
a plurality of second ballots
and Rockefeller captured the
third choices. On third
ballots. Mayor John Lindsay
of New York received more
votes than Nixon did.
Nixon's showing on first
ballots reflects the fact that
at the time of balloting he
was the only serious declared
Republican contender for the
presidency.
A breakdown by ages of
voters at the University
shows that Kennedy received
61 or his support from
freshman and sophomores,
and that Nixon received 68
of his support from
underclassmen, also

'support was split almost
evenly between the under and
upperclassmen.
This trend probably in
dicates two factors: the
relatively strong influence of
family background on un
derclassmen compared t o
upperclassmen who generally
have made a break with their
parents' political beliefs; and
the emotional appeal
generated by Kennedy who
was enthusiastically received
on campus a week before the
primary.
Adding all ballots nationally
(first, second and third) gives
McCarthy the lead with Ken
nedy second, Rockefeller
third and Nixon fourth.
THIS RESULT ADDS
strength to the theory that
last April campuses were
supporting candidates who
were offering alternatives to
Administrative policy on the
Vietnam issue.
However, only about 45 of
those who voted, totalling
some 475,000 students, will be
of voting age in November.
On the issue of military ac
tion in Vietnam, 18 na
tionally voted for immediate
withdrawal and 45 favored
phased reduction of our

"This committee is for
people who want a role in
making a change in the

Another area will concern
the recruiting of black
students to come to the

in assisting blacks who are
interested in working i n
campus organizations.
Looker labeled education
