years.

dent and student at Oregon, spoke
to the group in the 8tudent Union

amples of discrimination is in the
west 11 th section of the city which
is hampered by lack of sanitation
and water supply," be said.
Covington pointed out that the
roads in that part of town are in
bad condition. But in othar areas
of race relations, he said, there
was some improvement.
The work situation is not as bad

Miss Anderson returned to the
stage several times after each sec
tion of the program to acknowl
edge, with deep bows, the audience
applause.
The four Negro spirituals sung
by Miss Anderson'were particular
ly well received by the crowd. The
singer, dressed in a flowing white
dress decorated with gold sequins,
presented selections which gave
her full opportunity to display the
, range of her voice.
Miaa Anderson sang five encores
a selection by Schubert,.“Corn
in' Through the Eye," “Will O’
Wiep," and "No Hiding Place
Down There" and Schubert's “Ave
Maria" to close the program.
The noted singer, who was ac
companied by Frang Rupp at the
piano, delivered her songs with
hands .clenched in front of her,
often with her eyes closed and
head bowed. On the lighter selec
tions Miss Anderson swayed slight
ly to the music, expressing the
j emotion of the song in her face.
Wednesday marked Miss Ander
I son's second appearance in Eugene.

! Anderson is currently on her sev

"Then they may fhope to) ...
push pay phones in up here.” he re
marked. The phone company,
Goetzc said, probably knows what
is going on in other states.
Fred Scholl, general commercial
manager of the PT&T in Oregon,
requested Tuesday that the pay
phone situation be left as it i»
while the company investigated
the situation at other colleges and
universities in the United States.
Results by Fall
He said that the investigation
would take at least 60 or 90 days,
but declared that the proposed
survey would definitely be wound
up before the start of next fail
term.
But campus administrative and
student officials weren’t too happy
about the proposed delay.
"I believe that the application of
tariffs to the fraternities arnf
sororities should be tested at the
earliest moment by asking for an
interpretation from the Public
Utilities commission,'' said Dean of
Administration William Jones.
No Advantage See*
"It seems to me,” he added,
"that there would be no advantage
to these living organizations in ac
cepting the company’s request for
a postponement.”
Administrative officials had in
dicated earlier this term to the
ASUO senate that, should the
Greek house be successful in get
ting rid of the pay phones, the ad
ministration would request similar
treatment for the University dor
mitories.

Polled Students, Faculty Favor Gen. Eisenhower
By Jwn Uwii
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was
preferred as the choice for presi
dent of the United States over
Sen. Robert A. Tuft (R.-Ohioi and
President Harry S. Truman by a
large majority of 39 Oregon stu
dents polled by the Emerald.
Eisenhower received 69 per cent
of the votes. Taft was second with
14 per cent, and Truman received
11 per cent. Undecided were 6 pei
cent of the students.
Below are 11 sample opinions ex
pressed on the question, "Who do
you prefer for president, Taft,
Eisenhower or Truman?”
Mary Sauccrman freshman in
sociology "Taft, but I don't think
he’ll get it. I think Eisenhower will
get it of the three."
Ilia Edwards sophomore in edu
cation "Eisenhower, but I think
he would have a rough time as he
would have to get the supjfbrt of
the progressive elements from both
parties. I'm fed up with the Tru
man administration and Taft is too
much of a ‘grand old party man'."
•lean Mauro sophomore in lib
eral arts "It’s between Taft and
Eisenhower. I think either would
make a good president.”
Mel Streeter senior in architec
ture "Eisenhower, naturally. I
don't like Taft's ideas of isolation
ism and Truman's wasteful gov
ernment."
Mary Lou Elliott sophomore in
English "Eisenhower he's a gen
eral and a leader of the army and
I think he would do well as leader
of his country.”
Dick Burch freshman in jour
nalism “Truman, because he rep
resents the democratic principles
of our country and he's honest
e ven if his help isn't."
Bill Whitlock—freshman in lib- |
rial arts "Probably Eisenhower.
I don't care for Truman."
Jean Nielson -freshman in busi- (
ness "It would’t be Truman. It I
would be a tosa-up between Taft
and Eisenhower, and Eisenhower
would probably get it.”
Norma Terry—junior in liberal >
arts — "Eisenhower definitely. 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."

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. University of Minnesota
President Harold Stassen, Califor
nia Governor Earl Warren and
General Douglas MacArthur for
the Republican nomination presi
dential nomination, spoke in Port
land Wednesday night as part of
his campaign tour of the North
west.
Taft said his brief appearances
in Portland and Pendleton likely
would be the only campaigning he
will do in Oregon for the GOP
nomination, according to the As
sociated Press. . > .
