itical science students,, showed
that 55 per cent of the Eisenhow
er backers chose him on the mer
its of foreign and domestic pol
icies, while 35 per cent lauded
him for his personal traits.
Personal traits figured much
more strongly as the basis for
which students voted for Steven
son or Kefauver, the poll showed.
Of the students polled whose
parents are both registered Re
publican, 93.3 per cent favored
the Republican par ty them
selves.
The story was a little different
on the Democratic side as only
50 per cent of those polled whose
parents favored the Democratic
party voted the same as their'
parents.
Students whose parents ar e
white-collar workers, profession
al, and businessmen favored Eis
enhower much more heavily than
did those whose parents are blue
collar workers or farmers. This
worked in reverse for the Demo
cratic party, the strongest sup
port coming from the students
whose parents are blue -collar
workers and farmers.
Students participating in the
poll were selected on the basis
of quotas from each of the nine
colleges and the graduate school
and by sex.
The poll, part of the political
science 427 course on public opin
ions and propaganda was con
ducted by Jack Moran, senior in
sociology from Scranton; Rudy
Lutter, senior in sociology from
Philadelphia; Richard Clapp e r,
senior in arts and letters from
Schellenburg; and Donald Dow
den, senior in journalism from
Ridley Park.
The students warned that the
poll should not be taken as a
cross-section of t h e country
since it represents only a small
section of the country. They
