Dewey, the 37-year-old Republican district attorney of New York.

McNutt, 48-year-old hl commissioner to the Philippines and former college professor, whose White House boom has been one of the first to get under way. Rv Student Opinion Surveys A striking peculiarity of college youth's political habits discovered in this Survey is the fact that not only do Republican students often favor Democratic candidates and vice versa, but nearly a third claim no allegiance whatsoever to either of the major parties. Of that third only very few declared themselves preferring any party. Using the question, "If Roosevelt is not a candidate in 1940, who would you like to see elected President?" the Surveys queried a cross-section of the nation's colleg- (Continued on page three) The program opened with "Carnival Valenes" (Schumann), playing four movements from this number.

Dispute over the desired foreign policy of the United States has in the last few years created a three-way split in the peace movement. The United Peace Committee, which planned tomorrow's program, will present the three points of view in recitation of this rift. Hilden Gibson, of the political science and sociology departments, is expected to advocate a policy of American participation in a world democratic front to oppose fascism, it was indicated. Opposing Gilson's point of view will be Theodore Paullin, of the department of history, who has been chosen by the peace group to present the isolationist viewpoint. This faction believes that America must steer clear of any foreign entanglements if peace is to be preserved. A third faction, that of pure pacificism, will be presented by Donovan Smucker, Newton, of the Institute of International Relations. The first student peace strike was held in 1835, when 700 students cut classes to assemble peacefully on the ground before Fowler shops. In 1936, however, when a return persecution by the German gas bomb was tused into the group by a non-sympathizer. Since then the annual peace demonstration has been held in Hoch auditorium with the approval of the University.
