Stetson Reporter 'Florida's Oidest Collegiate Newspaper Stetson University DeLand, Florida Friday, October 24, 1980 Reagan takes poll; Carter visits area Carter, Anderson finish far back Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan walked away with the "Reporter's" Presidential Preference Poll held last Monday, capturing almost half the 581 votes cast by students and faculty members. President Jimmy Carter was a distant second behind Reagan's 49 percent total, with 25 percent, while independent candidate John Anderson finished with 19 percent of the total votes cast. Seven percent of those voting "had no preference." . Reached for comment after the ballot tabulation, Stetson Republican Club Acting President Joe Negron said, "The outstanding organization and genuine charisma of the Republican Club members secured Ronald Reagan over twice as many votes as both Anderson and Carter combined." The poll, which attracted over one-fourth of the estimated 2,000 full-time day students and faculty members, was called a "good reflection" of the overall university by Dr. Gary Maris, political science professor. "The results are to be expected," Maris added. "Students here are conservative and generally do vote Republican. They come from backgrounds traditionally associated with Republicans." The big surprise in the vote according to Maris, who voted in a poll in 1960 as a student here, was Anderson's strong showing. Jennie Boldish, head of the Students for Anderson campaign, commented, "I'm pleased with the Anderson Representation because it mirrors the impact we will have on not only the presidential election but also our political system in the future. "With more Anderson awareness, we're confident the percentage will rise." . No one from the campus Democratic organization was available for comment. President blasts foe at Orlando fund raiser PRESIDENT CARTER pauses during Monday speech in Orlando. By RIK SCARCE Editor in Chief President Jimmy Carter, during a brief address Tuesday at Orlando's Turkey Lake Park, urged area Democratic Party supporters to "whip the Republicans from the courthouse to the White House" on Nov. 4. Approximately 1,000 Carter loyalists attended the $100-a-plate dinner and some waited as long as 2% hours in 90-degree heat to hear him speak. Carter blasted traditional Republican opposition to the minimum wage, federal involvement in the states and Medicare. He said, "The Depression came when I was a boy, and I remember what Franklin Roosevelt did. The Republicans called it 'socialism' to build dams and other public works projects. "The Democrats proposed a minimum wage — it was 25 cents an hour then. The Republicans opposed it. I graduated from high school in 1941 and got my first job earning the minimum wage „af 40 cents an hour — and ?^ie Democrats supported it." Carter was interrupted several times by applause -during his 15-minute address, given during a whirlwind swing through Orlando. After his Orlando visit he flew to New Orleans. Punching directly at Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan, Carter said, "The Democrats put forward measures to give Americans better medical care...my opponent got his start in politics going around the country speaking for the A.M.A. against Medicare." He also answered charges made by Reagan and his advisers that the U.S. is now "second best" behind the Soviet Union in defense capability. Carter said, "In the eight years before I became president, under two Republican presidents, defense spending went down (for) seven years. Since I've been in office it has gone up every year. "I believe the best way to keep this nation at peace is to keep it militarily strong, and as long as I'm in the White House, I will keep it strong. Our armed forces will never be exceeded by any other nation." Carter added, "Every president since Harry Truman has been for strong arms control. Recently my opponent said (to) throw ' away the treaties and play our trump card against the Russians."

THORNAL Where can the average Stetson student go to see the Lambda Chi Alphas perform a striptease, throw eggs at a Sigma Nu and put out a contract on his best friend, livening up the usual boring Stetson Saturday night.. The annual Greenfeather carnival, to be held tomorrow night in Emily Field will provide the answers to all this and much more. Ending a week of activities, the carnival will highlight a week of fund raising which, according to Greenfeather committee co+chairperson Joel Brown, "got started off kind of slow, but things have picked up since the early part of the week." The carnival this year will be comprised of 24 booths, including entertainment from the Lambda Chi Alpha strip show, the physics club's laser show and the Pi Kappa Alpha gong show. In addition, the Sigma Nus will sponsor an egg throw, the Zetas will provide a hit man service, the Delta Sigs and the Pi Phis will team up to provide miniture golf, and the Tri Beta biology honorary will Nke photographs of carnival goers in old+fashined garb. Carnival Committee iV- chairperson Andria Long commented, "Most of the applications fo: booths came back late this year." She added, however, that organizations' tardiness wasn't a major problem. The festivities will commence, tomorrow at 7 p.m. with a costume contest for area children. The contest will be judged according to age, with pre-school to third graders and third graders to sixth graders competing in separate groups. First, second, and third place ribbons will be awarded to the winners in each of the two categories. From there the evening will be filled with fun and games for kids of all ages, with the announcement of the 1980 Miss Greenfeather at 10:30 climaxing the week's efforts. Brown noted, "Everybody has seemed pretty excited about Miss Greenfeather - we've had a lot of good comments about the prizes offered in the Miss Greenfeather charity drawing." But not all of the contributions will be in by the end of the carnival. Each year Greenfeather depends on donations from faculty members to meet its goal. "President Duncan sent out letters Thursday morning to all faculty members urging them to make a pledge to Greenfeather," Brown said. "To my knowledge it's the first time a president of the university has ever done anything like that. It was a very effective letter." The goal for the carnival is $1,000 and Long commented, "The booths will be great and the carnival will be exciting, but we need everyone's support to make it work." Brown added, "We hope people will show their interest for Greenfeather at the Carnival by giving their time and their money."
