Europe. While recehring his
Ph.D. from the University of

One interesting comparison
in these races was the dif
ference in the way the fresh
men, sophomores, and faculty
voted. For President the fresh
men gave Richard Nixon 75
votes, George Wallace 66 votes,
Hubert Humphrey 6 votes, Pat
Paulsen 2 votes, and Eugene
McCarthy 1 vote. In the same
election, the sophomores gave
Nixon 58 votes, Humphrey 11,
and Wallace 10. The faculty
gave Nixon 8, Humphrey 7,
and Wallace 2. This difference
of opinion was also reflected in
the N. C. gubernatorial elec
tion. The freshmen endowed
Jim Gardner with 54 votes
while giving Bob Scott only 27.
The sophomores gave Scott 25
votes and gave Gardner 20
votes. The faculty favored Bob
Scott with 15 votes while giv
ing Jim Gardner only 3 votes.
On the issue of Vietnam,
most of the voters wanted to
seek a military victory. Both of
the classes seemed to be in
agreement on this issue; how
ever, the faculty differed by
casting most of its votes for a
gradual withdrawal of troops.
The majority of students
voted not to recognize Red
China, but the faculty mem
bers’ opinions were quite dif
ferent because they voted for
the recognition of Red China.
Also, on the issue of Red
China, most of the students
voted against admitting Red
Chitu into the United Nations,
but again the opposite point of
view was expressed by the fac
ulty.
The students voted not to
extend more foreign aid to
Latin America, but once again
the faculty disagreed with the
students. As for extending aid
to communist countries, the
freshmen, sophomores, and
faculty voted against such a
policy. On the topic of
National Affairs, the students

opposed open housing for all
people; the members of the
