Gedlup Says We’re Concerned but Confident
George Gallup Jr.,
president of the Gallup Polls,
says the mood of America is
concerned but confident.
According to Gallup,
“Americans are ap
prehensive about their future,
but they’re far from
despondent.’!
Gallup spoke to about 400
people in Hanes Auditorium,
Thursday, November 11 as
part of the Celebrity Lecture
Series of the Junior League of
Winston-Salem.
Gallup explained that their
polls usually survey a
scientifically selected sample
of about 1,500 people. Since
1966 their average poll
predictions have been within
1 percent of the actual
results.
According to Gallup, the
1982 elections were “marked
by very unusual trends.” This
year marked an end to the
long downward trend in voter
participation. Gallup believes
more people voted because of
New Major Offered
Students interested in
graduate school, professional
school, or corporate training
programs, will now be able to
prepare themselves through
a foreign language and
management major.
A new major combining
study in a foreign language
with preparation for careers
in international relations and
economics is now available to
Salem students.
The program’s goal is to
combine a foundation in
economics and management
with a working knowledge of
a foreign language; its
culture and the history of the
countries where it is spoken.
The foreign languages of
fered are; French, Spanish,
and German.
Students choosing to major
in foreign language and
management are encouraged
to spend a semester abroad.
According to Dr. Cardwell,
“studying in another country
would increase the student’s
language proficiency and
knowledge of the foreign
culture.”
Faculty in the modern
foreign language department
will help students with the
selection of their foreign
study program. Dr. Cardwell
said, “through this combined
major the department hopes
to try and fulfill the needs of
students who are interested in
both economics and foreign
languages.” Cardwell
believes America needs
people who are proficient in a
foreign language as weU as
business, so that business can
be conducted in a foreign
language.
The requirements for the
foreign language and
management major are;
French 105,106, 206, French
207, 208, one course in culture
German 111, 211, 221, 222,

and issues which were on the
ballots this year.
Gallup Polls found a
moderately conservative
mood in the country on social
issues. But according to
Gallup, that did not translate
into a Republican sweep in
the recent elections because
voters overwhelmingly
thought of their own
economic concerns when
casting their ballot.
Gallup said the election
results were not a repudiation
of Reaganomics; 56 percent
polled oppose Reaganomics,
44 percent are in favor. The
Gallup Poll results almost
duplicate exactly the votes
cast in the election.
Preliminary figures indicate
that Democratic candidates
received 55.8 percent of all
votes cast, and Republicans
got 44.2 percent. Gallup
believes Americans do not
want to “abandon the
