Fewer than'ten students had obtained voting excuses from the Student Union desk in Old Main by late yesterday afternoon. Voters throughout the state will pick 60 national convention dele gates for each party, but they probably will know little, if any thing, about the presidential pref erence of more than a handful of those they choose, the Associated Press reported yesterday. With scattered showers fore cast, only about 1,000,000 Repub lican and 600,000 Democratic vot ers are likely to turn out, about 30 per cent of registrations. Voters can express themselves directly in a preferential contest. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and former Minnesota Gov. Harold E. Stassen are the only GOP ballot entries —with a possibly strong write-in for Senator RoberF A. Taft of Ohio. But here again the poll results may have little to do with the final disposition of the state’s 70 Republican presidential nominat ing delegates. They apparently will be held in reserve in an effort by the party’s state leadership to plunk a majority of them down on the bandwagon of the prospective winner at the Chicago The Democratic popularity poll .might be 1 more influential if a strong write-in develops for any one candidate. There are no names on the party presidential' ballot, but there are indications that Senator Estes Ke fauver of Tennessee, W. Averell Harriman, the Mutual Security Director, may figure strongly in the totals. There probably will be, also, substantial vote totals for President Truman, and Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, who say they aren’t, running. Unless plans are changed, how ever, the state’s Democratic dele gation will go officially uncom mitted to Chicago. Ten votes, al ready picked at large, are not tied to any candidate. Allen Calls Blood Drive Results Poor The results'of the present blood drive have been “discouragingly poor,” Theodore C. Allen, campus Red Cross representative, said yesterday. 1 Reporting that only 25 pledges of the at least 200 needed for the donation April 30 have been received, Allen said that he was “concerned about the apathy of the student body towards the TODAY'S WEATHER CLOUDY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS Daily (Eoll Schoerke Gets Editor's Post On 1953 La Vie Douglas Schoerke, fifth sem ester labor management relations student, was named editor of the 1953 edition of La Vie, College yearbook, ,by James Geffert, pre sent editor, at the annual ban quet Saturday. , Jacqueline Becker, liberal arts student, was named managing editor,' and senior editors are Elizabeth Harlor and Jacqueline Daroshefski.

The cards may be picked up in the Student Placement office, 112 Old Main. Any student may volunteer to be a donor, Allen said, although minors must get written releases from their parents. • Students who gave blood, du r i’n g the Blood mobile’s visit last fall may con tribute again, he' said,. for a suf ficient time has passed to prevent any ill effects from another do nation.
