Teenagers think Nixon's the one, according to national high school poll
Teenagers say Richard M. Nixon should be and will be the next President of the U.S. They believe he is the man best equipped to cope with the war in Vietnam, crime in the streets, and the rising cost of living.
These opinions were expressed by junior and senior high school students in public, private, and parochial schools in a survey just completed by the Scholastic Research Center, a division of Scholastic Magazines, Inc. The pool, involving indepth questionnaires, was returned by a representative sampling of students from across the country.
Students participating in the survay were asked the question: "Of the candidates for President, which one would you LIKE to see win?" Thirty-six per cent said Nixon, 25 per cent favored Humphrey, and 12 per cent wanted Wallace. McCarthy, though not listed on the Scholastic questionaire, drew a write-in vote of 12 per cent.
In response to the question: "Regarless of your personal preference, whom do YOU EXPECT to win the presidency this year?" - 58 per cent saw a Nixon victory, 34 per cent expected Humphrey to win, 6 per cent were undecided, and only 3 per cent expected Wallace to be elected.
Asked which candidate was best able to cope with the war in Vietnam, 41 per cent of the students gave their confidence vote to Nixon. Humphrey was backed by 25 per cent of the students, and Wallace by 10 per cent. Twenty-three per cent of the students polled had no opinion.
When it comes to combating crime, students were asked to rate the importance of strengthening regulations governing firearms registration, restrictions on police activities, and admission of wire-tap evidence. Over half of the students (52 per cent) believed strengthening of a gun controls to be "very important," and 22 per cent considered strengthening regulations regarding the admission of wire-tap evidence "very important."
The survey showed that 42 per cent of the students believed Nixon could best lead the fight against crime, with Humphrey getting 22 per cent of the student vote, and Wallace 20 per cent. 
Forty per cent of the students polled felt Humphrey was the best man to lead the fight for equal rights for the nation's minorities. Nixon followed with 25 per cent, 22 per cent backed Wallace, and 13 per cent had no opinion.
Also, Humphrey was viewed by 45 per cent of the students as the candidate best able to handle welfare and poverty problems. Twenty-seven per cent supported Nixon, 16 per cent had no opinion, and 12 per cent backed Wallace.
The sampling of 1,600 high school students represented all types and sizes of schools in direct relation to the distribution of schools within each state, random selection of individual students, and an assurance of anonymity of answers. 

'That's going too far'
To the editor: 
I would like to register the extreme disgust I feel for a situation which developed in the Union last night. Two people in costume, dressed to depict Satan and the Ku Klux Klan, walked around the Union for about 20 minutes, stopped at the Graffiti Board, and wrote, "you fo it my way or you burn - G.C.W." This is unfair inasmuch as George Wallace is not and cannot be proven to be associated with the Ku Klux Klan. This action is abominable and should not be allowed. Freedom of speech can be stretched too far.
