PAGE EIGHT Willhie Captures Stucient-Faculty Support In Presidential Sutvey Recruiting May Supplant Draft A hint that the Selective Service Act will draft little manpower was given yesterday by Congressman James E. Van Zandt of the 23rd Congressional District. He said: "The'influx of new re cruits is so great tha tit is probable, according to the War Department, that recruiting efforts will supplant toe need of a draft." Congressman Van Zandt added that in the event of such a happen ing the main significance of regis tration will be to assemble accur ate information about men avail able for military service. Life insurance protection for Na tional Guardsmen and draftees was also explained by Congressman Van Zandt. "This new form of government insurance is patterned after United States War Risk Insurance issued to World War veterans. The pol icies range form $l,OOO to $lO,OOO and will be issued in forms includ ing ordinary life, 20 payment life, 30 payment life, and term insur ance. Rates will be based on age and will be approximately 66 cents per month for $l,OOO. MAESTRO AT CATHAUM "IT'S TOMMY TUCKER TIME.

The issue seemed to be between the technical and non-technical factions. While 38 of 64 Liberal Arts faculty ballots named Roose velt, in contrast, 44 of 52 Engineer ing School votes favored Winkle. Curiously enough, ' the Penn State faculty gave Roosevelt a three-fifths majority over Landon four years ago. Most of the reasons that were given alleged that Roose velt was unable to conduct his administration on a business basis, hence the switch to Winkle. . . The United. States imported $7,500.000 worth of drying oils in the first three months this year, compared with imports worth $3,- 009,000 in the first quarter of 1939. rom mri Willkie Leads Roosevelt In Collegian Poll W R.

The coeds returned the largest majority for Willkie with 228 bal lots. Roosevelt garnered 90. Fra ternity men agreed with the wo men in casting only 66 Roosevelt votes of a 233 total. A marked parallel between a student's choice and his parent's political affiliation was noticed when the tabulations showed that 65 per cent of the parents were Republican. Sixty one per cent of the stu dents favored Winkle, and 37 per cent wanted-Roosevelt. The Demo cratic parents numbered 33 per cent. This indicates that party par tisanship may be a political herit age. Social or business position clear ly influenced the student's voting. Of those who answered a question on family income, 576 belonged to the $3OOO or above classification. Only 140 families drew below $3OOO. Most of those classified above $3OOO voted for Willkie.

Willkie is the poten tial President of the United States as far as the Penn State faculty and students are concerned. In a Daily Collegian survey of 1160 persons which touched every school and department on the campus, the pride of the Hoosier state accumulated 719 straw votes compared to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 414, Thomas' 26, and Browder's lone vote. The closeness with which the student body and faculty agreed is shown in the percentage figures. Sixty-one percent of the canvass ed students stumped • for with only two percentage points separating them from Winkle fac ulty rooters, who polled 63 per cent. Roosevelt reeciyed 37 per cent support from the faculty and 34 per cent of the student's ballots. Thomas trailed with two and three per cent respeCtively. To insure an accurate cross section of campus opinion, the student poll of 910 ballots, approx imately 12 per cent of the student enrollment, was divided propor tionately between fraternity, non frateinity, and women students. Parent's Affiliation Two-hundred thirty-nine pro fessors were polled according to the percentage employed in each school, with an attempt made to interview at least one member of every department.

FRIDA?, OCTOBER 11, 1940 Influeptial factors which played a great part in the faculty and stii dent's decision to vote for his, par ticular candidate were his stand ard of living, his participation in a technical or non-technical pro fession, or his parent's political preference. Students whose parents are in the high wage scale, $3OOO and Up, invariably demanded Winkle, while the lower bracketed group usually cast their ballot for Roose velt. This bears out the theory of the Gallup experts who contend that the middle class will elect the president. In the latest Gallup survey, Willkie has collected only 32 elec., toral votes - to Roosevelt's 499, but the popular vote was sufficiently close encugh to swing Willkie into the lead if he received a little more middle class support.
