I ' GENERAL “IKE” Campus choice think he’s got what the people i want and need in these times of war. History is faced with war and we need a military minded man to .handle the needs of today's VC-opld.” j Clair Wellman—junior in econ omics—“Taft, regardless of a lot of his basic principles 1)£ ,is edu cated to the job and has support of \ < a lot of other congressmen." Alice Johnson — "Eisenhower, i Taft ran before and he didn't get any place and I don't like Tru- ' man." Six Oregon professors were ask ec! by the Emerald to indicate their ] voting preference in respect to Sen. 1 Robert Taft. Gen. Dwight D. Eis enhower and President Harry Tru man—all of whom are currently being considered as presidential candidates in the 1952 race. Four favored Eisenhower. Two suggested that they would vote for Eisenhower (or Taft in one case) under certain conditions. W. S. Haldinger—associate pro fessor of art — “Eisenhower, be cause he is more international minded, he has a respect for the world that the others don't, and I feel that there would be less chance of our ship of state sinking with him at the head of the gov ernment.” E. R. Bingham — instructor of history--"Eisenhower. It is a pro cess of elimination and I wouldn't vote for Taft or Truman. The coun try needs someone in which the people have confidence.” D. M. Dougherty-—head of the foreign language department "I don't care for Taft's isolationism. I believe that Eisenhower is the best man.” C. P. Schleicher professor of political science "I would defi nitely not vote for Taft under any circumstances. Whether I would vote for Truman or Eisenhower depends on Eisenhower's stand on domestic issues and how much Eis enhower^has been captured by the conservative wing of the Repubii cans. It is a hard question to an- | swer." W. C. Ball&ine — professor of ■ business—“I would rank them Eis enhower, Taft and Truman." E. M. Baldwin—associate pro fessor of geology—"I would not vote for Truman, but if either Eisenhower or Taft was the Re publican choice for President, I would vote for him." ♦ ♦ e Co liege Student Poll Favors Ike For President General Dwight D. Eisenhower is the favorite among college stu dents for the next President Of i the United States, according to a poll recently conducted by the Associated Collegiate press. Sen. Robert Taft is more popular among college students than Tru man the poll showed, but about one fourth of those interviewed hadn't made up their minds yet. Students at schools in every sec tion of the country favored Eisen hower, but in the Taft vs. Truman argument, the results show certain sectional differences. Taft is the strongest in the Mid west. A school in Indiana and an other in Iowa are 75 per cent for Taft. 14 per cent for Truman, but students in Ohio, Taft’s home state are less in favor of him than the. students in other parts of the country. Truman is strongest in the Far West. In the South, the vote for Truman and Taft is about even. At the University of California, the strongest Truman school, Tru man attracted 43 per cent of the votes while Taft polled 21 per cent. Eisenhower proved to be an overwhelming favorite when stu dents were asked who they would vote for if Truman ran against Eisenhower. Eisenhower polled 71 per cent of the votes against lt» per cent for Truman. Truman also lost to Taft in the final results of the poll. Taft re cieved 46 per cent of the votes against 29 per cent for the Presi dent. In a recent public-opinion poll in Portland. Eisenhower was the top choice among Republicans and Democrats. A total of 31 per cent of the interviewed citizens indi cated a preference for the former Allied supreme commander in west ern Europe. If he captures the Republican nomination, he may find himself opposing either President Truman or Sen. Estes Ket'auver, present top Democratic possibilities. Taft, who is vying with Ei.sen- * hower.
