Faculty Survey Shows Nixon
Ahead In Presidential Poll
By JOE MEDLIN
A poll of several UNC profes
sors this week showed that they
feel that Vice-President Rich
ard M. Nixon is the front-runner
in the presidential campaign.
Five of eight professors polled
said either that they felt Nixon
is the leader at the present, or
else said they are in favor of
Nixon.
One said he was for Kennedy,
while the other said he was not
particularly for either candidate.
Several other professors who
were contacted preferred not to
give an opinion. One said he
has "other things on his mind,
and would prefer to be counted
out."
The professors and their opin
ions are as follows:
George L. Simpson, professor
of Sociology and Anthropology
said he thought the Democrats
were generally in the majority.
"I think Kennedy probably
has more voter appeal."
Frank W. Klingberg, profes
sor of History said he thought
the whole thing was speculation
but would guess that both candi
dates were about even.
"I am a Republican and will
vote for Nixon. I feel that he
has a good bit of executive ex
perience and I agree more with
his philosophy on domestic is
sues as to the amount of pri
vate investment as distinguished
from public investment."
John G. Kunstmann, profes
sor of Germanic Languages said
he was not for Kennedy.
"However, that does not mean
that I am for Nixon."
James W. Prothor, professor
of Political Science said he
thought both candidates were
very close.
"It is my guess that the num
ber of people who are undecid
ed will be large enough to swing
the election either way.
"I am a Democrat and will
vote for Kennedy."
Kenneth R. Byerly, associate
professor of Journalism said the
latest polls show that Nixon has
a slight lead.
"I am for Nixon. I think he is
the best man."
Clarence E. Philbrook, pro
fessor of Economics said he
preferred Nixon.

Exams Loom Right
Around The Corner
Final exams for the second Summer Session begin at
8 a.m. Friday and run through 5 p.m. Saturday, bringing
the session to a close.
Dr. A. K. King, Director of Summer School, says "This
has been the best attended Summer School we have had in .
a decade."
Dr. King said the "number of students who are inter
ested in accelerating their academic standing is increas
ing, while the number of stu
dents here to remove deficien
cies is decreasing.
"The Summer Session is espe
cially appealing to graduate and
upper college students," Dr.
King said. .
So except for faculty members
and a few students, the campus
will be deserted after Saturday
afternoon.
But it won't be but a little
more than two weeks before the
campus will again be alive with i
students, both old and new. Fall
semester registration is slated
for Sept. 13 and 14, with classes
getting underway on Thursday,
.the 15th.
Enrollment for the second
Summer Session was 2,775, a
drop of nearly 1,000 from first
session enrollment. The com
bined enrollment for both ses
sions topped the expected figure
of 6,200 by 412.
About one-third of the stu
dents on campus for the sum
mer were graduate students,
and one-fifth were visiting stu
dents, from 109 different institu
tions throughout the country.
In addition to the students
here, nearly 3,500 visitors at-
DR. A. K. KING
. . headed summer school
tended 40 different workshops,
conferences, institutes and short
courses.
Not included in this number
are several schools and confer
ences held by the Institute of
Government in the fields of
state and local government.
Dr. Duffey Is Named
New Associate Dean
