C. TRAIL j If public opinion of a small segment of the student body at A&jM means anything, General Dwight D. Eisen hower 1 ' will be overwhelmingly elected President of the United States next fall, should he chjoose to run. Yesterday Battalion reporters gsked 89 students and professors, “If you were voting tomorrow, Who would be your choice for President of the United States?” Of the number asked, 32 preferred Eisenhower, while Truman was the choice of 16. In support of Eisenhower, one Aggie made this statement: “For a little man in a big job, Truman is not doing badly, but we need a big man for the big job. That big man is Eisenhower.” Truman gathered his support on many and varied grounds. Several were behind him purely because he is the leading man in the Democratic party, while others didn't want to "change horses in the middle of the stream.” One Trumanite gave this classic reason for his choice: “On ithe strength of his civil rights program, I shall sup port Mr. Truman. He must be an honest man to have stuck his neck so far out on an issue that he must have known would cost him all southern support.” Following Truman and Eisenhower were Harold Stas- sen, who nosed out Arthur Vandenberg by a 11 to IQ count, and George C. Marshall, who was ahead of Thomas E. Dewey 7 to 6; , i Following with one vote each were Henry Wallace, Robert Taft, James F. Byrnes, James Farley, Earl Warren, and iSam Rayburn. Significantly enough, General Douglas MacArthur polled no votes, as did the old Texas Regulars’ candidate, Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia. j! { M Also failing to make a showing were W. Lee O'Daniel and James “Big Jim” Folsom of Alabama. Only one person asked failed to state a choice. He said, “I don’t think any of the announced candidates are canable of runnimr the United States.” » For | the musically in}:! ned, tlj band, the Singing Cadets an< l il Aggieland Orchestra aye wait with sheets of music inj land.
