Geography Professor Predicts Sure Victory for Lyndon Johnson
Nunley, associate professor of geography, forecasted the 1964 election as a sure victory for President Johnson. He gave Johnson 40 states with 60 percent of the popular vote and 451-500 of the 538 electoral votes.
Lady Bird Johnson won't have to worry about packing her family's belongings for the long move back to Texas this year if Robert Nunley's election prediction is accurate.
"GOLDWATER WILL get only 68 electoral votes," he said. "This could vary of course, but I would be extremely surprised if he receives over 100 votes and shocked if he gets more than 150."
Prof. Nunley believes that Senator Goldwater will carry only Alaska Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Idaho Indiana, Louisiana, Nebraska, Vermont and Wyoming.
"These states are marginal and any of them could change," he said. "As I see it, this is a very interesting election to predict and it is almost impossible to forecast on a state by state basis."
ALASKA, WYOMING and Idaho will support Goldwater because of his "pioneering image," Prof. Nunley said.
"Goldwater's pioneering image expresses the political fundamentalist viewpoint," he said.
He said that Alabama and Louisiana will go for Goldwater because of the backlash vote and the civil rights issue. Johnson's name is not on the Alabama ballot, but Prof. Nunley feels that Goldwater would carry that state anyway.
PROF. NUNLEY did not pick Mississippi as a Goldwater state. "This is 90 per cent hunch, plus the fact that the aroused Southern people are going to be attracted to the fact that Johnson is a Southerner. A large segment of rural Mississippi will vote Democratic out of habit," he said.
Prof. Nunley's prediction and remarks about the Tuesday election were part of a Friday lecture series to his Geography 6 classes.
Goldwater's conservatism will attract voters in Nebraska, Indiana and Vermont, Prof. Nunley said.
"Indiana is the southern district of the Bible Belt. The whole state is provincial, even Indianapolis."
industrial vote in the state." he said. "Nebraska and Vermont are traditionally conservative."

GOLDWATER WILL carry his own state only if he gets 30 per cent of the metropolitan vote and a majority of the statewide vote, Prof. Numley said.

Gremlin Takes Toll on Autos
LAWRENCE POLICE estimated the damage at $550 to Sim's car, $150 to the wall, and $10 to a car owned by Ernest Yarnevich. Kansas City junior, that was hit by flying masonry.
The campaign has had an adverse effect nationally and internationally, Prof. Nunley believes.
The car was driven by Wesley S. Sims, 1325 New York.
Sim's stearing wheel locked when he was attempting a right turn from High Drive to Cambridge.
"The strongest argument in favor of Goldwater is that Arizona has never had a man in the White House. Many Arizonians will vote for Gold-water for this reason," he said.
"IF HE CARRIES Arizona, it will be by a slim margin, and I don't think he would carry the state if he weren't a native."
"It is very clear that nobody takes a middle stand on Goldwater in Arizona. They are either for him or against him," Prof. Nunley said.
Senards Hall was also the victim of an unpremised automobile attack Sunday morning at 7 a.m. A driverless car owned by Robert H Koehler, Kansas City second year law student, smashed into the building.
"This campaign has been less constructive and more derogatory than any previous one," he said.

"Flooding the market with cheap paperbacks slurring both candidates has been a regrettable development."
"NEITHER CANDIDATE has projected a strong image, and the votes have been decided, not in favor of one man, but against the other," he said.
James Jenkins (the high school student who touched off riots in Panama early this year) symbolizes the Democratic charges against blind super-patriotism in the GOP, he said.
Walter Jenkins (the presidential aide arrested on morals charges) represents the charges made by the Republicans against moral sickness in the Democratic party, Prof. Nunley said.
Prof. Nunley has accurately predicted the outcome of national elections since Truman's defeat of Thomas E. Dewey in 1948.
PROF. NUNLEY FEELS the campaign can be summed up "in terms of two sick men named Jenkins."

"The development of management is essential to our goal of great growth"
At the 1964 stockholders' meeting, Arjay Miller. President of Ford Motor Company, emphasized the Company's far-sighted recruitment program and its accent on developing management talent:
"One aspect of our planning is crucial to the success of everything else we do. It engages the best thoughts and efforts of our whole management team, from top to bottom, throughout the world. I am speaking of the development of management. The Immediate future of our Company depends heavily upon the abilities of the people who are now key members of our management team.
"In the longer run, our future depends on what we are doing at the present time to attract and develop the people who will be making the major decisions 10 to 20 years from now. We are developing management competence in depth in order to attack the problems that will confront a company of great growthand great growth (both in profits and sales) is exactly the goal we have established for Ford Motor Company.
"We are continuing to emphasize recruiting. Last spring,180 of our management people devoted part of their time to recruiting outstanding graduates from colleges and universities throughout the U.S. Last year, these efforts resulted in our hiring over 1,000 graduates,220 more than the year before.
"We are seeking and we are finding young men—and young women, too—with brains and backbone—people who have the ability and the desire to make room for themselves at the top. We give our trainees challenging assignments with as much responsibility as they can carry. We promote them as fast as they are ready. Those who are interested in easy security soon drop out. Those who have what we want stay with us, and move up quickly to increased responsibility and the pay that goes with it. Thanks to the quality of the people we are recruiting and developing, I am firmly convinced that our outlook is most promising."
