Panelists discussing "Political Parties and Voting Patterns were Louis Harris, national opm ion research specialist; Dr. James Prothro, professor of po litical science here and Dr. Allan Sindle;, professor of political science at Duke University. Watts Hili of Durham, a UNC trustee, also participated in the discussion. Moderator was Dr. David Lapkin of the economics department.

The SP heard keynote speaker i Paul Dickson, former party chairman and unsuccessful can didate for student body president last year, call for an SP victory. Dickson spoke Sunay night. About 100 members attended the Sunday night session, and about 75 the next evening. In other business, the party delayed election of an SP trea surer until its next regularly scheduled meeting. Residence hall debates have been scheduled by the Men's Residence Council, and will start next week. Jim Fullwood, MRS president, said yesterday a full list would be released today. Candidates Meeting A compulsory meeting of all candidates in the fall election will be held at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Howell Hall. Attendance is mandatory. tional appeal because it empha sizes such issues as peace, de fense and security. But the Re publican party is relying on re gional issues such as race preju dice and civil rights in the South. Republicans have lost much support because of the peace is sue, which is one of the Demo cratic strong points. After last week's three big events they are winning some of it back, Harris pointed out. ."The Jenkins case definitely hurt Johnson because the moral issue is his weakest point," he said. Harris believes the growing areas of the country such as southern California and Florida will go Republican. He attributes this to the desire of people to change society. Goldwater will elso gain support from people Support for President Johnson apparently resulted from a nega tive reaction to Senator Goldwater's policies. Many of the Johnson voters referred to their choice as "the lesser of two evils." Some 9.75 per cent of the voters switched party affiliation to vote for the candidate of the other party. A higher percentage of Democrats switched parties to vote for Goldwater than did Republicans to vote for Johnson. This was a reversal of the results of the August poll, where Johnson received more Republican support. President Johnson tallied a total of 650 votes. Of these, 62.15 per cent came from persons who considered themselves Democrats. Some 7.55 per cent were from Republicans and 30.3 per cent from -independent voters. Of Senator Goldwater's 414 votes, 49.04 per cent were Republican, 14.98 per cent were Democratic and 35.98 per cent were independent. Some 5.44 per cent of the total vote were cast for other than the two major candidates. They are, in order of support, Pennsylvania Gov. William Scran ton, Henry Cabot Lodge, Richard M. Nixon, Alabama Gov. George Wallace, Adlai Stevenson, Sen. Hubert Humphrey, Robert F. Ken nedy, New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, Sen. John Tower of Texas, Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, Michigan Gov. George M. ' Romney, former President Harry S. Truman, Gov. Paul Johnson of Mississippi, Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon, Sen. Birch Bayh of In diana, unsuccessful N.C. gubernatorial candidate Kidd Brewer, Secre tary of State Dean Rusk, former N.Y. Yankee manager Yogi Berra, Duke football quarterback Scotty Glacken, Beatle Ringo Starr, and Alfred E. Neuman. Some 1.06 per cent of the voters were undecided on their choice for president. Of these, none were Republicans, two were Democrats and the rest were indeepndent voters. Kaplan Talks On God-Jeiv Relationship Jewish philosopher Dr. Morde cai Kaplan discussed the mean ing of God for the modern Jew here Tuesday night at the second Rosa B. Weinstein Memorial Lec ture. "What God should mean to the modern Jew can be answered only in the context of what being a Jew means to him. If he is modern-minded the only meaning being a Jew can have for him is belonging to the Jewish people with its millenia of an eventful evolving religious civilization," he said. Dr. Kaplan, professor of the philosophies of religion at Jew ish Theological Seminary of America, said "this idea of God includes the following implica tions concerning the idea itself: it is integral to the history, cul ture, and way of life of the Jew ish people in its stage of its civ ilization; it has undergone devel opment in keeping with the de velopment cf its civilization and that the modern form of it neces sarily reflects the democratic and scientific character of the stage of the Jewish civilization in the making." "There are two facts about the evolving character of the Jewish idea of God that give it unbrok en continuity" he said. They are "the Jewish people as a continu um and the functional signific ance which is common to all the stages of its development the privacy of justice in all human relations and activities as es sential to human fulfillment rath er than worship." The program was sponsored by B'Nai B'Rith Hillel Foundation of North Carolina. Winter and spring lectures are scheduled to be held at Duke University and UNC-G. Scream Much? Scream much?

Interested women should report to 103 Swain at 4:15 p.m. Friday. frustrated with the U.S. position in the world, he added. "Goldwater strikes about 25 per cent of the Republcans as being mad," Harris said. Four of every 10 people say that he is a radical, therefore his support will come from those people who desire change the most. "About six per cent of the people who were interviewed in a poll were still undecided," Har ris said. But public opinion is reshaping due to last week's events. He said that a high per centage of undecided voters would indicate a change in voting. The panel agreed Republicans would need a presidential candi date with special appeal to win the election. Goldwater doesn't have this appeal, they said. CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1904 3. -f -! y.-. ,f Photo by Jock Lauterer Alabama Governor George Wallace Candidate Support Refused By Wallace By ALAN BANOV DTH News Editor DURHAM Alabama Gov. George Wallace, speaking at a press conference here yesterday, denied supporting either presi dential candidate and pushed his states rights school amendment. "I don't know whether any can didate wants "me. to endorse him." he asserted. "I have liabilities . . . a few assets." Wallace declined to recommend a candidate to North Carolinians, saying, "The people of North Carolina are intelligent enough to make their own decision." Regarding his vote in the elec tion, he said, "I have my own thoughts about the matter." The governor distributed copies of the amendment recommended by the Alabama Legislature to reserve to the states "the right to sole, and exclusive jurisdiction of public school systems in the separate states." It is designed to amend the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. He repeated his charge made in Maryland Tuesday that the federal court system "is a sorry outfit." Reminding that Lincoln, Jefferson and Jackson "said worse things than that," Wallace accused the Supreme Court of "usurpation of authority." He refused to predict whether Goldwater would carry the South: "Anything I would say would be, a guess." However, he observed, "In Alabama Sen. Goldwater has more support than any Republi can presidential candidate in my lifetime." Declining to sy which national party better mirrored his states rights views, he noted "that both candidates both platforms eased up on civil rights . . . they've en Of these students polled, 42.35 per -cent considered themselves to be Democrats and 37.27 per cent were Independents. Only 20.38 per cent associated themselves with the Republican Party. Some 77.48 per cent of the Republican vote , went to Sen. Gold water while 83.29 per cent of the Democrats voted for President John son. Johnson received a higher percentage of the Independent vote than did Goldwater. Major issues given in support of President Johnson, other than a distrust of Sen. Goldwater, were his stand on civil rights, experience, ability to. handle U.S. foreign affairs and his success' with domestic improvement programs. Supporters of the Arizona Senator gave his conservative views as reasons for support. Included in this category are his stands on civil rights, his views on foreign policy and control of nuclear weapons. The questennaire, which was distributed equally among classes ?nd deparmtents of the University earlier this week, read, "Suppose, the election were being held today, which candidate would you like to see win?" A space was given for comment in support of each voter's choice. "My vote for Johnson is, more than anything else, a vote against Goldwater," said Max Chapman, a Junior Economics major from Banner Elk. His statement was indicative of the general opinion of most of the Johnson supporters. "Goldwater is an unrealistic politician who attracts bigots and hate-mongers," said Robert Marlowe Jr., a Junior English major from Wilmington. Mike Bowles, a freshman from Salisbury said simply, "I don't trust Goldwater." "He just doesn't seem, to know what it's all about," said Richard Stenhouse of Charlotte. r.? acted every civil rights bill in the history of man." The Alabama executive didn't object to getting eligible voters to register, but poked fun at the "bearded beatniks" in last sum mer's registration drive in Missis sippi. "Some were sincere ... led by bleeding hearts to go that heathen land."

The end came quietly at 11:35 a.m. in Hoover's Waldorf-Astoria tower suite . high above Manhattan, on a bleak, gray autumn day. He was in a deep coma a merciful sleep, that shielded him from final agony. A massive internal hemorrhage occurring last Saturday began his final illness. With his passing, a nation mourned a m an who won its respect and admiration anew after having been turned out of the White House in 1932 by an electorate that blamed him for America's great depression. Only one other president in this century was refused re election by the voters. He was William Howard Taft, a Repub lican like Hoover, who was. de feated in 1912 after a single term in office. Hoover outlived by a little ever six months the man who was his Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The latter drove the Bonus Marchers out of Washington in 1932 in one of the most controversial epi sodes of Hoover's administration. An army of unemployed, the marchers had descended on Washington demanding cash bon uses for World War I service. While in the White House from 1929-33, Hoover's public image was that cf an austere chief ex ecutive, sober-faced and silk hatted. Those were the grim days of the breadlines, when the notion's mills and forges lay idle and smokeless, when the unemployed sold apples on the street. The tibeme song of the period wps "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime " Actually, while a shy man in public, Hoover in private was a buoyant individual, whose con versation sparkled with whimsi cal humor and w'tty sarcasm. An associate recalled: "I never hesrd him say an unkind word about any individ ual. He would never attack a person as a person. He attacked only principles and policies. His greatest pleasure was in his friendships." A prodigious worker, Hoover's energy wyas a constant source of amazement to his aides, even as the years ovprtook him. They called him "The Chief an ac colade based on his service as Chief of Operations during i America's humanitarian efforts cf World War I. Hoover's first paid job in his native Iowa was picking potato buss at a penny a hundred. Later, as a minins engineer, he amassed a personal fortune esti mated at $6 million. In the White House, he turned every dollar of his Presidential salary over to charity or public service. He did the same with the $25,000 a year pension voted former Presidents in 1953 by Congress. Hoover's death reduced the rurrber cf living former Presi dents to two Democrat Harry S Truman and Republican Lhvight D. Eisenhower. Hoover ! served them both as head of commissions for the economical reorganization of the govern Larry Rosenblum, a law student from Hillsdale said, "Goldwater would be a disaster to the country. With the new leadership in Rus sia, the Chinese having their atom bomb and the new government in England, the U.S. needs a firm, experienced leader like President Johnson." "I am more anti-Goldwater than pro-Johnson," said Betty O'Brjan of Greensboro. "Goldwater's refusal to compromise in foreign policy would be disastrous," she said. Richard Lewis Jr., a freshman from West End, N. C, said, "John son is a more rational person. The statements he issues are usually (Continued The Candidate's Support Johnson 62.15 ....

However, with the death of her husband, her body will be brought to West Branch to rest beside his. His life has spanned 90 years and two months. Only one other president lived longer John Adams, the nation's second chief executive, who was 90 years and 8 months old when he died. Son of a small-town black smith, Hoover was orphaned at 10 and in his boyhood knew poverty. But he worked his way through college, became a top ' flight engineer and, at the age of 23, a wealthy man. In 1923, Hoover, a Quaker, de feated Al Smith for the Presi dency in a bitter campaign in which the nation held Smith's Roman Catholic religion against him. Mourning Is Proclaimed WASHINGTON UP President Johnson proclaimed Tuesday a 30-day period of mourning for former President Herbert Heover. He directed that the American flag be flown at half staff at the White House, on all buildings, grounds and naval vessels of the nation and at embassies and eth er facilities abroad. The proclomation was addressed to the people of the United States. "It becomes my sad duty," the President said, 'To anouncc offi cially the death of Herbert Hoov er, the 31st President of the Unit ed States on the twentieth day of October, ninteen hundred and sixty four at 11 o'clock in the morning." "We have lost a wise American, and the world has lost a humani tarian citizen of all mankind. His steadfast leadership served us undaunted through the good times and bad as businessman, pro vider for the poor and hungry. President and elder statesman "He lived a full and useful life, and we are all deeply in his debt. "We shall miss his thoughtful counsel and kindly spirit. But his unquenchable sense of public re sonsibility for both our nation and a troubled world stands as an example that will endure."
