That U. S. participation in world government plans will be more success ful under the leadership of the present administration is the opinion of 54.5 per cent of the students. Thirty-five and four-tenths per cent believe that a new administration would be better equipped to plan for world government, and 10 per cent are doubt ful. Fifty-four per cent of the students believe that a change of party now would be detrimental to the progress of the war. Thirty-seven per cent be lieve that a new administration would lead the nation to victory. In contrast, 44 per cent believe that private enterprise would have a better chance under a new administration; 40 per cent believe that private enterprise will flourish with things as they are, and 16 per cent are doubtful. Widest difference of opinion is evi dent on the question of the CIO Politi cal Action committee.

Dewey, received 43 per cent of the votes. A comparison of the election results of previous years reveals that the stu dents voted 3 to 1 for President Roose velt in 1932; 4 to 1 for him in 1936; 2 to 1 for him in 1940; and a little less than 3 to 2 for him in this year's straw vote. G.O.P. Wins Governorship State politics did not follow national politics exactly. Governor Green re ceived 51 per cent of the gubernatorial votes cast, enough to give him the vic tory over Democratic candidate, Thom as J. Courtney. William J. Tuohey, democratic nom inee for State's Attorney, won the elec tion over John T. Dempsey w-ith the same majority of votes that Green re ceived, 51 per cent. A. L. Brodie, Democratic nominee for coroner, polled the largest number of votes of any candidate. He received 64 per cent of the total votes, 66 more votes than President Roosevelt. Faculty Member Lectures The fourth presidential election since the College was opened, and the fourth election in which Mr. Roosevelt ran, was the impetus for the straw ballot held during the general assembly period yesterday. Miriam L. Rooney, Ph.D., of the psy chology department, outlined the duties and responsibilities of the franchise in an address entitled This Power of Vot ing, citing the years during which wom en were given no vote years during which the average woman was consid ered to have insufficient intelligence to vote. Urges Intelligent Voting Dr. Rooney urged the students to remember the fight women made for the lie'lit to vote and remembering this fight, to vote intelligently and indepen dently. In conclusion, she asked that the students' votes be based on reason rather than on emotion. Following the address, Mary Alice Weinberg outlined the case for the Democratic party, and Mary Jane Kent enumerated reasons for supporting the Republican party. Following, a tradition in the College, 48 students who will cast their first presidential votes next Tuesday were singled out for special honor. Presides at Election Jerry Stutz, president of the Student Activities Council, presided at the elec tion, which was sponsored by The Skyscraper. The mathematics depart ment aided in counting the straw votes and in checking percentages on the student public opinion poll. Jacqueline Jacobs played Taps on the cornet, and Dorothy Grill led the stu dents in the College Song and the Star Spangled Banner.
