One of the most interesting
events of the fall term at Elon
was the student presidential poll,
which was held on Monday. Oc
tober 27th. with slightly moer than
56 per cent of the Elon student
body voting and giving Aalai
StevenEcn a majority of 186 to
173 votes over General Dwight
Eisenhower.
One interesting angle of the
poll lay in the fact that the per
centage of Elon students voting
v.as almost the same that was pre-
dirted for the voting percentage
of American citizens in the nation
wide election held yesterday. . It
wers unsigned. The result from,American yoith in their section
cach question presented points of of the United States, expressed
reasons for their votes in
interest.
On the first que.stion in regard
;o family political affiliations.
;heie were 208 of the S59 students
who stated that their families were
Democratic, while 87 indicaied
that their families were Republi
can. There were 61 who signified

dents, two noted that their families
Uieir
statements that indicated serious
thought and consideration of the
pic’oleras.
A break-down of the votes for
Eisenhower and Stevenson proves
interesting in regard to the shift-
;ng political opinion. More than
half ol Eisenhower's support
came from students who reported
'Plit between the Republicans and their families as either Demo-
Demccrats, and one student de
clared Dixiecrat leanings for his
family.
The results of the second ques-
lemained for yesteidays national jjj regard to the extent of iiit
election to see whether the per- ipj-pst the presidential
centage came out as predicted.
The Elon students were asked
four questions on the ballots,
which were distributed to them
during the Monday morning chapel
program. The four questions
vvere as follows:
1. Is your family mainly Dem
ocratic, Republican or Independent
in its political views.
2. Have you taken a strong o.'
justh casual interest in the 1952
oresidential campaign?
3. If the election were held
oday and you were entitled to
vote, would you vote lor Eisen
hower or Stevenson?
4 In one sentence, give the
reason for your choice of Eisen-
*iower or Stevenson for President i
of the United States.
In each ca.se the students were
to turn in iheir ballots and ans-
in the presidential cam
paign found 224 of the 359 stu
dent vvoters indicating a strong
interest in the 1952 campaign,
while 145 others expressed onl>
casual interest.
The brief reasons for their pref
erence between Eisenhower and
Stevenson brought many interest
ing answers, with many of those
who supported Eisenhower giving
the stereotyped answer of “1 like
Ike.” or "We need a change. ’ One
of the Stevenson adherents revers
ed the trend with the declaration.
'1 do not want Ike.’’ However,
he got his answer in one of the
more brief Republican statements
\hich read "I just don't like Stev
enson."
It is significant and encourag
ing, however, that the great major-
•ty of the Elon students, who rep-
esent a fair cross-section oi
eralic or Independent, with 50
nf the 'Ike ” ballots coming fror.i
ludcnt.s of Democratic origin,
.hjie 43 others were from the In
■e r.diint rroup.
There was a less marked shift
of support to Stevenson, but there
were 8 students from Republican
families who disregarded family
influence to vote for the Illinois
governor, and 18 of the Indepen-
o'ent group supported Stevenson
The lone Dixiecrat was emphatic
)i his s'loport of Steven.?on
The Elon poll was strictly in
line with political prophecies in
’ne factor at least, that being the
Icseness of the race and it indi-
’ated that the election would be
xn exceedingly interesting one to
vatch. regardless of the outcome
