lions Who do you think will
win the national election this
year < provide that candidate re
ceives his party s nomination»
and why"’ and "Why do you
think President Lyndon Johnson
dropped out of the presidential
race so suddenly 9
The highest ranked contender
proved to be Republican Richard
Nixon who got 2H per cent of the
votes Democrat Robert Kennedy
ran a close second, receiving 24
per cent of the votes Although
feeling for Sen Kugene McCarthy
ran high in those* who voted for
him he only got eight per cent
of the votes
There were sporadic votes for
Ronald Reagan Nelson Rockefel
ler. Hubert Humphrey George
Wallace and even some in lav<ir
of Johnson
Another eight per cent voiced
tficir dislike of the |>olitical scene
as a whole and said they would
not vote lor any of the candi
dates now running or not run

Kennedy supporters listed the
following reasons lor his prob
able win
The Democratic nomine* will
win and since Kennedy is a
stronger candidate than Mc
Carthy. he will get the Demo
cratic nomination
He'll win because he's active
liberal and young
One of the Reagan fans said
the California governor would
win because all the housewives
would vote for him
Students answering the second
question gave several reasons as
to why they thought President
Johnson dropped out of the presi-
dcniial race.
The two reasons given most ot
; ten were that the f‘resident was
in prior health and couldn t fact*
another term and that he is ex
peeling a draft from the tamo-
era tic nominating committee ami
his wiifidrawai was a purely poll
lieal move
Many thought that, in combina
tion with other reasons. Johnson
dropped out of the race because
he didn't want to have to contest
the nomination "He's always
been a winner and wants to go
down in history that way
Others reasons given were that
the President didn't want to split
the Democratic party, that he
didn t want to divide the country
any more than it already is. and
that he wants to get public sup
port for his revision of U S. poli
cy in Viet Nam
have to pay much attention to
domestic problems, as well as
the racial cris. the war in Viet
Nam and the gold issue
When asked whether they
planned to vote, the majority of
the students said they did
Other comments went to the ef
fect tliat the next president will

I fected Johnson s decision ,

thal, president.
Brought up by members of the
organization, the first one reads.
"It is the considered opinion of
the University of Georgia chapter
of Young Democrats that be
cause of his enlightened leader
ship and his responsible actions
at the time, but particularly dur
ing the past days of great stress
and strain Mayor Ivan Allen. Jr.
be commended for his sane and
rational approach not only to
ward local issues but in the area
of national affairs as well.
Further more, it is the senti-
of this chapter that each

this outstanding man s remark
able qualifications for the vice-

"We call upon all people to
honor his death not by violence
in the streets, but by the resolve
that respect and cooperation is
the sure path to harmony with
the races. Be it further resolved
that the Young Democrats at the
University of Georgia will take
active steps in promoting har
mony with all people regardless
of race or creed "
