UNL poll shows Reagan favored, Anderson next
By Mary Kempkcs
Of 75 UNL students polled, 39.6 per
cent favor Republican Presidential Candi
date Ronald Reagan over Independent
John Anderson and President Jimmy Car
ter. Anderson finished second with 17.5
percent and Carter placed third, taking
only 9.5 percent of the vote.
A large percentage -33.3 percent-of
the students questioned were undecided or
had selected less popular candidates. Other
selections included Libertarian Candidate
Ed Clark and former President Gerald Ford
as a write-in.
Indecision or not, a high percentage of
those questioned said they would vote.
About 80 percent said they were registered
and planned to vote Nov. 4, despite the dis
may voiced by some that there was little
choice in presidential candidates this year.
The reasons for selecting a presidential
candidate over another varied from abor
tion to economic stands to age.
"I don't feel Carter has done a good
job," said Verda Houghlan, a 29-year-old
masters of business administration student.
"I like John Anderson's stands on women's
issues and abortion issues."
But most of the students selected their
candidate by random and not because
they like a candidate's views but because,
"I don't like the other two," as one stu
dent said.
Eric Theisen, an 18-year-old political
science major, said he selected Reagan be
cause, "Well, he's the lesser of two evils."
John Utecht, a 22-year-old biology
major, said, "I'm not too pleased about
Carter and I haven't heard too much about
Reagan, but what I've read I don't like.
I figure Anderson can screw up just about
as good as anybody."
"I don't like Reagan," said Joan Frank
lin. "He's made so many mistakes on TV.
I'm just afraid that if he becomes presi
dent he'll just stick his foot in his mouth
again," the 20-year-old pre-med student
said.
Anthony Pasquale, said he would vote
for Reagan because he couldn't trust the
others, "not that he (Reagan) is perfect
by any means."
Some of those questioned have aligned
Reagan with what they consider conserva
tive views.
Keith Briggs said he would vote for
Reagan "first of all because I'm a Christian
and fairly conservative. Also because
Reagan has a lot of good men under him
which Carter lacks."
Another student voter, 26-year-old Jeff
Wooland, said, "I like his (Reagan's eco
nomic policies and his stands on national
defense and the ERA."
Reagan has been identified with a strong
and increased national defense policy and
despite the lack of a Republican pro-ERA
plank, has personally supported equal
rights.
Support varied a little by sex. Women
showed stronger support for Carter (10.7
percent compared with men's 8.6 percent)
while the males put their money on Reagan '
(45.7 percent compared with the women's
32 percent). Both tied on support for
Anderson at 14.3 percent.
Women showed higher indecision with
42.9 percent of them saying they would
put off the decision until the final week.
Only 25.7 percent of the males were un
decided. Age made a difference in the indecision
among voters. Of those polled, 55.5 per
cent were 21 years old or younger, 23.8
percent were from 22 to 25 and 21 percent
were over 25. The 22- to 25-year-olds had
the highest indecision-46 percent -and
those over 25 had the least 28.5 percent.
The 22- to 25 -year-olds also showed the
least support for President Carter-no one
in this age group selected him. The strong
est support for Carter came from the oldest
group, where 14 percent of the people said
they would vote for him.

Business club organized
By Ward W. Triplett III
Business and financial
majors don't have to be the
only participants in the lat
est organization sponsored
by the College of Business
Administration.
The Administrative Man
agement Society is, accord
ing to Publicity Chairman
Kevin Kean, a potential
benefit to any student in
any field who will be in
volved in personnel or group
management, sometime in
liis career.
"We have people who
plan to be doctors, editors,
as well as managers," Kean
said.
"I've been part of other
clubs, and I cannot believe
the growth of this one. The
response for this is just
amazing."
Six months ago, the uni
versity had no AMS. How
ever, through the efforts of
President Teresa Thomssen
and other business students
in the AMS in Lincoln,
talk about the new group
began last spring, Kean said.
Now the club has 70 mem
bers. "We just had the right
people at the right time,"
Kean said of the club's early
days.
"Plus, the senior AMS
chapter here was growing
so big, they wanted to ex
pand into where younger
kids could take part," he
said.
What AMS does is pre
pare the student for his or
her entrance into the busi
ness world, Kean said. By
being an international or
ganization, its nationwide
contacts can ensure a stu
dent a better interaction
with future employers,
Kean said. Kean. a senior
from Dawson, said AMS is,
in effect, a fraternal organ
ization. "I could call in for the
average salary in Dayton,
Ohio for a job with L. F.
Hut ton. I could ask for the
AMS representative with
that company and find out
that information. Through
this, you wouldn't go into
a company totally new. You
would already have people
you know who would be
willing to help out. By be
ing so big, membership in
AMS can give you a tie all
across the country," Kean
said.
The main appeal of AMS
lies in the fact that it is the
only business group that
deals directly with people
who are professionals, he
said.
"You get that one-on-one
effect that's impor
tant," Kean said. "This pro
vides a chance to meet the
people you may someday be
managing with, or working
under.
"The senior chapter has
been really receptive to us.
We've worked out a pro
gram called student-executive
protege where the kids
can go out and spend a day
working with the people in
business. It's all in making
friends, meeting people and
learning to interact," he
said.
The AMS meetings are
the second and fourth Tues
days of each month at 6:30
p.m. in the Nebraska Union.
The meetings include speak
ers, personnel management
testing, regular group inter
action on management
problems and the upcoming
debate between representa
tives of labor and manage
ment. Membership for the year
is $20. Trips are planned for
New York or Chicago, and
the AMS National meeting
is in Vancouver, Canada.
"AMS was the deciding
factor in my decision to
stay in Lincoln rather than
transfer to UNO," Kean
said. "It made the city a
little more personable for
me.
At El Toro, we make your hair look,
feel and manage just the way you
want your hair to look, feel, and
manage.
