Student-^ and Faculty
Vote In Presidential Poll
Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated Adlai S:evenscn by a majority
of 136 votes in a poll held last weekend to determine the choice of
Mars Hill students and faculty for the next president of the United
States. 556 students out of the approximately 730 in the college and
41 faculty members participated in the election, making a grand
total of 612 votes cast. Of these
“Ike” received 374, while Steven
son got 238.
On the ballot, in addition to
the names of the candidates, was
a space in which each person
was to check his political back
ground. One hundred eighty-
eight professed Democrats for
sook their party to vote for
Eisenhower, but 219 remained
loyal to Stevenson. Only four
Republicans, however, changed
and voted for the Democratic
candidate, while 124 cast their
ballots for the former general.
Ten students claimed that
they came from families where
one parent belongs to the Demo
cratic party and the other to the
Republican. Thirty-three pro
fessed to be independent voters
—for the man, not the party—
and 24 left the space blank. In
the space marked for other par
ties, answers were given any
where from Dixiecrat, which re
ceived four, to Communist,
which also received four.
