Students questioned in the first
of two Oakland Surveys indicated j
foreign policy as the main issue in '
the 1964 presidential campaign.
To the question “What do you j
consider to be the major issue in i
the 1964 election campaign?”, 14
students answered “foreign policy,”
and 12 students answered “civil
rights.” Various other issue." were
mentioned.
When asked “Under the presi- It,
dency of which of the major par- '
cies do think the U. S. has the
best chance to stay out of nuclear i
war?”, 8 answered Republican, 21 j
Democratic, and 12 were uncom
mitted.
To a similar question “Under the
presidency of which of the major I
parties do you think the U. S. has
the best chance for continued pros
perity?”, the answers revealed 9
Republican, 22 Democratic, and 10
uncommitted.
Several students made interesting
comments. Among them was, “If I
were voting, I think I would have j
to vote for one of the candidates |
lather than either of the political
parties.” Also, in answer to a ques
tion about party leanings, the com
ments ranged from “Democratic all
the way” to, “Slightly Republican.’'
The survey revealed that 23 oi
the students polled are Democrats,
10 are Republicans, and 8 have no
party leanings. Twenty-five students
are from urban areas and 16 from
rural areas. Only 6 students have
changed their political leanings
since entering college, but 9 have
political leanings which differ from
those of their parents. It was found
that 29 students are following the
campaign through the news media.
Nine students stated that they are
not following the campaigns and 3
indicated “not closely.”
No claims are made that this
survey is valid or expresses the

Defense Office Also Offers Rules
Of Procedure For Trial Of C.uses
The Ofice of Defense has initi
ated its program of organization
for the fall term by releasing this
statement of rules for procedure,
rhe statement from the Office of
D»fense follows:
Elon’s Student Body Is From Many
Geographic And Religious Backgrounds
The Elon College student body,
which shows an increase of 72 stu
dents over the enrollment reported
at the same time last fall, comes
from widespread geographic origins
and from varied religious back
grounds, according to a report just
released from the office of Prof.
Andrew V. Beale, the college reg
istrar.
The report shows that Elon has a
fall semester enrollment of 1,320
students, representing an increase
over the 1,248 total for the student
t>ody for the fall semester of last
year. The registrar’s report also
carries a breakdown of the enroll
ment by classes and by both home
origins and religious affiliations.
The total enrollment of 1,320 stu
dents includes 844 men and 476
women. Comparative figures from
last fall showed 827 men and 421
women. Another breakdown lists
1.114 students in the daytime classes,
with 206 in the Evening School. The
daytime figure is up by 97 over
last fall, while the night registra
tion shows a slight drop.
As might be expected, the largest
enrollment is found in the fresh
man class, for 405 of the daytime
students are in the first-year group.
Other class memberships in day
classes include 247 sophomores, 244
juniors and 189 senwrs. These class
enrollments do not include the
freshmen, sophomores, juinors and
seniors enrolled in the Evening
School.
In each of the four classes men
^re in the majority. 'The freshman
class includes 229 men and 176
women, the sophomore class 163
men and 84 women, the junior class
59 men and 68 women and the
;enior class 121 men and 68 women.
The Evening School student body
lists 162 men and 44 women.
As was the case last week and
the year before, one of the inter-
“sting facts concerning Elon's stu
dents is that more than half of
;he daytime students and almost
half the total enrollment is listed
as residing on he campus. In many
past years the commuter students
were in majority, but the recent
trend has been for an increase of
campus residents.
The actual figures on campus and
commuting students shows that
-here are now 657 students residing
on the campus, among them 410
men and 247 women, compared with
457 daj-time commuters and 206
night class students, almost all of
whom commute to the campus.
Also of much interest is the wide
spread geographic distribution of
the Elon student body, for this 1964
registration shows representatives
.rom 25 states, the District of Co
lumbia and one foreign country,
with the foreign nation having fur
nished two students.
As would be expected, the largest
student group comes from North
CaroUna, for the home state hsts
771 students, representing 69 per
cent of the entire enrollment. Other
states among the leaders in num
ber of students include Virginia
with 163, Connecticut with 30,
Maryland with 27, New Jersey with
25, Delaware with 30, New York
with 15, and South Carolina and
Pennsylvania with 12 each.
These nine states furnished 96
per cent of the entire Elon enroll
ment, although 16 other states are
representd along with the District
of Columbia by one or more stu
dents. The Netherlamls is the lone
foreign nation which sent student^
this fall.
Among the North Carolina stu
dents, there are 51 of the state'.'-
100 counties represented, one less
than the number of counties repre
sented last fall. Alamance County
furnished 543 students, an increast
of more than 200 over the 330 en
rollment from Alamanhe Count)
last year. Other county leaders are
Guilford with 49, Rockingham with
48, Randolph with 39, Durham wit!
39, Orange with 33 and Forsyth'
with 22 students.
The varied religious membership.--
and preferences show representa
tives of 23 different denominations,
one more than last fall. As has usu
ally been the case, the Baptists and
Methodists have the largest groups.
The Baptists list 302, while the
Methodists have 275 this fall, each
group holding the same relative
ranking as last year.
In third spot behind the Baptists
and Methodists is the United Church
of Christ with 238 students Other
leading groups are he Presbyterians
with 161, Episcopalians with o8.
Catholic , with 42 and Lutherans
with 41. These groups include 89
per cent of all Elon students, with
the other 11 per cent divided among
17 denominations.
As stated in .Article III, Section
6 of the official Student Constitution
of Elon College, the Office of De
fense, being part of the Honor
Court, publishes for all to see, its
rules of proceedure to which this
office promises to hold fast.
From Article III, sec. 6: “. . . The
Honor Court and Student Council
shall make and publish their own
rules of proceedure, but these rules
shall not deny to any accused per
son the presumption on innocence
until guilt is proven, the right to
due notice and a fair hearing, the
right of the accused to lace hi.s
accuser, and the privilege of ns-
.sistance. The Honor Court and th"
,Student Council shill inform enc!'

anteed under this section at the
time he is notified of the offense
charged against him.”

fines of the applicable sections of

YDC Cwroup
Very Active
Jn Campaign
Members of the YDC have been
quite active during the past three
weeks with kick-off speeches, at
tending rallies, and welcoming dig
nitaries in the area.
E. T. “Curley” Sanders, Burlinf^
ton lawyer, helped the Young Dem
ocrats with their campaign kick-
off meeting by .speaking to the
group on Tuesday night, September
2^. Also present were Ix)nnie Cary,
treasurer of the North Carolina
Young Democrats, and Charles
Winbcrrv, coordinator for the Col
lege Federation.
When candidate Dan K Moore
officially opened the Burlington
headquarters on September 25, a
group from Elon’s YDC was on
hund to officially greet him.
Last Tuesday several carloads ol
Elon students traveled to Raleigh
to attend the rally there and greet
President Johnson, his wife, Ladj
Bird, and his daughter, Lynda. The
president made a major campaign
speech at the rally before a crowd
of some 12,000 loyal supporters, th«
first of several speeches he wiU
make in the South,
The following Wednesday monh
ing the YDC’s were instrumental
in getting students to Burlington to
greet the Lady Bird Special, a spe
cial red, white, and blue trai'- car
that the First Lady used ui a
whistle-stop campaign through the
South.
With approximately three weeks
left before the election, the men>
bers of the YDC and the Youth for
Johnson (Committee are busy with
final rallies, meetings, debates, and
entries for Homecoming.
“Things are looking very good
for President Johnson and Mr.
Humphrey,” said a spokesman ol
the Elon YDC. "The national seen*
looks excellent, and little by little
people who once were undecided
are moving in the Johnson-Hum-
phrey column. Virginians at Elon
are very pleased that their gov.
emor, Albertis S. Harrison, has
spoken out for the John.son-Hum.
