Eisenhower is even stronger than the majority-support given him by voters throughout the nation. Eisenhower’s increasing popu larity- with students on campus was indicated early this week in a personal-interview presidential poll conducted by 11 Daily Col legian staff members. He received 67.6 per cent of the poll’s vote. His ■ Democratic rival, Gov.. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi nois, tallied votes from only 29.1 per :cent.‘ Those polled were selected at random from such widely-sepa rated locations as Engineering C, McKee Hall, Sparks Building, the Mall, Main Engineering. Building, Atherton Hall, Willard Hall, Tern? porary Building, Ag Hill, and off campus. The results of . this poll invite comparison with recent polls con ducted by Dr. George Gallup’s American Institute of Public Opinion and by the-Princeton Re-1 search Service. j Compare Polls Wht Satltr fH (HnU^ntan ,VOL. 53, No. 32 STATE COLLEGE,"PA., FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 24, 1952 FIVE CENTS Cabinet Approves LaVie Assessment ' By MARSHALL O.

The proposal was introduced by Peter Betley, president of the chess club, at the last cabinet meeting. Reasons Betley gave for the allocation were'.that the chess team represents Penn State, and in the past has won the state championship as well as a runner up position. Betley estimated that trips have cost each member of the team at least $5O. , David Pellnitz, chairman of the Board of Publications, pointed out, however, that if cabinet were to give money to the chess team, it would be misrepresenting stu dent government funds. The pos sible establishment of a separate fund for .teams who represent the College was suggested by. Lincoln Warrell, president of the Chem- Phys student council. All-College President John Lau bach said that cabinet will aid the chess team in investigating the possibility of such a separate fund.. Cabinet approved the following percentages of Campus Chest funds to be allocated to previously specified recipients: Penn State Christian Association, 46 per cent; World' Student Service Fund, 13 per cent; Women’s Stu d e n t Association Christmas Fund, 6 per cent; State College Welfare Fund, T per cent- Salvation Army, 6 per cent; Heart Fund, 6 per cent; American Can cer Society, 6 per cent; Penn State Scholarship Fund, 7 per cent; National Student Service Fund for Negro Students, 5 per cent; and operating expenses, 4 per cent.
