r I f i v i 2 lit. i! JL in! University students gave Democratic candidates Lyndon Johnson and Dan Moore impressive sup port in their bids for election this fall, in a Tar Heel student opinion poll conducted this week. President Johnson polled 67 per cent of the vote while Republican nominee Senator Barry Goldwater tallied 28 per cent. Other candidates received a total of five per cent of the vote in the Presidential race. Democratic nominee Dan Moore received 55.5 per cent of the vote in a poll on North Carolina's Gubernatorial election. Republican Robert Gav in's vote amounted to 31.5 per cent. Candidate Richardson Preyer received 11 per cent while others collected the remaining two per cent. Only students from North Carolina were allowed to vote in the Gubernatorial race". Support for President Johnson apparently re sulted from a negative response to Senator Gold water. About two-thirds of the students who fav ored Johnson said they did so because of a "lack of faith'.' in Goldwater. A higher percentage of Republicans switched parties to vote for Johnson than did Democrats to vote for Goldwater. There was little difference between Presidential preferences of in and out-of-state students. Sixty eight per cent of the North Carolina students favored Johnson while 66 per cent of out-of-state C t For President Johnson 67 Goldwater 28 Others For Governor Moore .... 55.5 Gavin .................. 32.5 Others ... .... ..... 13.0 students polled supported the President. Gold water received 28 per cent of the State student vote, and 26 per cent of the out-of-state vote. Principal issues given in support of President Johnson, other than dislike of Senator Goldwater, were his stand on civil rights, experience, ability to handle U. S. foreign affairs, and belief that he will continue the late John F. Kennedy's for eign and domestic policies. Students favoring the Arizona Senator said his conservative views were most impressive. In cluded in this category are Goldwater's support of state's rights and his vote against the Civil Rights Bill. His views on foreign policy and political integrity also were given as reasons for his support. ( The questionnaire said, "Suppose the election were being held today, which candidate would you like to see win in the presidential and gub ernatorial race?" Few students were undecided in the preference of Presidential candidates, and nearly all gave at least one reason for supporting their candidate. . Besides Johnson and Goldwater, nine other per sons received votes in the Presidential race: Wil liam Fulbright, Henry Cabot Lodge, Richard Nix on, George Romney, Nelson Rockefeller, William Scranton, Adlai Stevenson, George Wallace and ' (Continued on Page 9) PUBLISHED THURSDAY AFTERNOONS rfV-K M www 9 OFFICES SECOND FLOOR GRAHAM MEMORIAL CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1964 Taylor Is Named $110,000 Law Suit Is Filed New Medical Dean Y V v!

Cathey expects 1.1,200 students to enroll here this fall, an in crease of 600 over last year's record enrollment. The total number of freshman students will be approximately 1,950. A maximum of 2,000 was set last fall. Cathey fixed the number of transfer students at approxi mately 810, or ten more than the ceiling set last fall. The num ber of transfer students is based on the available space in resi dence halls. Approximately 2,250 graduate students will be here this fall. The Housing O.fice said the increased enrollment meant that many rooms will be tripled this fall.-There are 150 men on the waiting list at this time, and vacancies in rooms will be filled according to the date of appli cation. A few beds will be set up in basements until the rush is over, and some students will have to live off campus unt:l vacancies occur. The Dean of Women's Office reports that some double rooms will be tripled to handle late ap plications from women. Dean Cathey stressed that the housing situation would be great ly improved with the erection of Morrison Residence Hall, a nine story dorm to be completed by September, 1865. The . Office of Records and Registration reported an enroll ment of 4,384 students for the second sesion of summer school. The total of visitors and un dergraduates is 2,715. There are 1,747 males and 968 females en rolled for a ratio of 1.7:1. Post graduate and baccalaur eate students and professors total 115. Male enrollment is 112 and female is three.

Emory. They now live in Dallas, Texas, where he is on the faculty of Cook Coun ty Junior College in nearby Greenville. Prospect House of Dallas, list ed as the publisher of the book on the fly leaf, is also mentioned in the complaint. Inquiries last summer failed to turn up a Prospect House in Dallas. University officials have re mained silent about the book, and reportedly discouraged any comment about it. Barrow said, "The University and others might try to ignore it, but I don't feel inclined to do that." He charged, "What she (Mrs. Emory) says is just not true. Her facts are erroneous and the conclusions she draws are also erroneous." There is a one-year, statute of limitations in North Carolina on libel suits. If the complaint is not filed within one year from the olfense, there is no cause of action, according to the law. "We're filing partly to pre serve our right to file within the year," Barrow said. "Otherwise, the statute of limitations would catch up with us." Attorneys Robert Cooper and Barry Winston of Chapel Hill are handling Barrow's case. RETURNS TO EGYPT Dr. Khatab M. Hassanein, as sistant professor of biostatistics at UNC will leave for Egypt Aug. 24 where he will teach sta tistics at the University of Cairo's Institute of Statistics.
