Tower smashes Carr at Rice poll;
small minority shows for mock vote
Rice students indicated an cans. One-third claimed to be
overwhelming preference for
John Tower and George Bush
in a political preference poll
held on the campus Tuesday.
Of the 185 ballots cast, 81%
indicated they would vote for
Tower if they had been voting
in an actual election. Waggoner
Carr secured 13% of the votes,
and 11 voters indicated they
would abstain or write in a can-
didate.
George Bush received 74% of
the votes, Frank Briscoe 15%,
and abstentions and write-ins
11%.
Only 45% of the balloters,
however, indicated that they
considered themselves Republi-
Indepencfkrit, while only 19%
claimed to be Democrat.
The all-school poll, in which
less than 7% of the students
voted, was conducted by the
Election Committee and the
Rice Young Republicans.
Apparently the student liber-
als of Rice have baited up and
gone fishing early this year.
However, since only 7% of the
students showed up, maybe the
conservatives are so sure of
their position that they failed
to show up.
The 33% who registered In-
dependent could be those who
have supposedly deserted their
party.
