DAVIDSON. N. C—Ten thous-and
college students in the Caro-llnas
and Virginia favor Elsen-hower
over Stevenson by two-to-one.
In a poll conducted by 26 col-lege
and university newspapers of
the three states, the students en-dorsed
the Republican ticket with
J59.8 per cent of the total vote.
The Democrats trailed with 35.9
per cent.
Results of the poll were an-nounced
today by Jim Batten, edi-tor
of the Davidson College Davld-sonlan.
which coordinated the
three-state survey.
The States Rights Party polled
2.2 per cent of the vote, the In-dependent
ticket. 1.4 per cent, and
other candidates received .5 per
cent of the total vote.
North Carolina, usually Demo-cratic,
turned to the Eisenhower-
Nixon team by 58.5 per cent of the
state's popular vote on the col-legiate
level.
Three N. C. colleges maintained
the traditional Democrat major-ity:
Loulsburg College. Woman's
College of the University of North
Carolina, and Presbyterian Junior
|College. The Independent and
States Rights tickets together with
all Individual candidates polled
1.1 per cent of the total North
Carolina vote.
The Republicans led in Virginia
with 68.4 per cent of the vote. The
Democrats were lower than In
either of the other two states.
The States Rights element was
stronger in Virginia than the com-bined
States Rights. Independent
and individual candidates votes
in North and South Carolina.
In South Carolina the Republi-can
Party edged out ahead with
j 50.8 per cent of the state's vote.
South Carolina submitted the
highest number of Independent
votes and no States Rights votes
whatever. The Democrats had a
higher percentage of votes there
than in either of the other two
states.
In the woman's colleges of the
three states, the Democratic and
Republican Parties were more
evenly matched In number than
In the male and co-ed Institutions.
There were no collegiate woman's
votes submitted for the States
Rights Party, and very few were
entered for individual candidates.
Every woman's college except
WCUNC. favored Elsenhower-
Nixon.
The male Institutions went in
every instance for the Republican
Party. All other parties and candi-dates
combined totaled only 34.6
per cent of the male vote. These
same colleges, however, returned
a higher number of States Rights
and individual candidate votes
than the co-ed and women's col-leges
combined.
Although as a body the co-edu-cational
colleges supported the
Republican Party, one third of
them favored 8tevenson-Kefauver
on the Individual college level.
The co-ed institutions submitted
more votes for the Independent
Party than did the men's and
women's colleges.

this contest is unique in that It

The traditional CAROHNIAN I.
D. card contest, which has been
paated down from the "gret" days
when our paper and our delight-ful
identification cards first came
into existence, comes to the fore-front
of campus activities this
week.
Wo realize that you are at col-lege
primarily for an education:
therefore, the staff has simplified
the entrance requirements to a
minimum In order that you can
devote your energies toward de-veloping
your mental capacities.
Thus, we play on your physical
worth. All we ask Is that you
send your I. D. card to the CARO-LINIAN
through the local mall by
Wednesday. November 7. We do
the rest.
A winner for "The Most Horri-ble
I. D. Picture Contest" will be
selected from among the appli-cants
(that means you, too) and
this picture will appear in the
following issue of the paper. Since
we realize that I. D. cards are
dear to the hearts of all, your
picture will be returned on Thurs-day.
November 8. However, the
most exquisite picture cannot be
returned until Sat.. November
10. There are no particular bagto

of winning.
