all levels of students from fresh-
men to graduates.
Runner-up Kennedy
Runner-up in the opinion poll
was Senator John Kennedy of Mas-
sachusetts. Despite his affiliation
with the Catholic church, which
could lie a handicap in his cam-
paign, Kennedy polled 31.58 per
cent of the votes cast. Third-place
winner was Adlai Stevenson of II
linois with 1(5.60 per cent.
Robert Meyner, governor of New
Jersey, defeated Senator Stuart
Symington of Missouri and Sen-
ator Hubert Humphrey of Minne-
sota with 4.65 per cent of the
votes. Meyner edged out the two
Midwestern senators in the cam-
pus preferential poll as a result
of a finance class that supported
him, Mi/.e noted. Symington polled
fifth place with 4.16 per cent, ami
Humphrey polled 2.85 per cent for
sixth place.
For Club'K Benefit
Mine stressed the fact that the
club conducted the poll mostly for
its own benefit. The recently or-
ganized Adlai Stevenson club will
go ahead and operate in favor of
the former Illinois governor.
"Approximately sixty per cent
of those participating in the poll
would lie able to vote in the na-
tional election," remarked Mine,

Among the notable successes of
Couley's 1955-51! season was the
revival of Bellini's "I Puritani"
with the American Opera society.
Of this performance New York
critics wrote: "thoroughly first
rate" (Herald-Tribune), "a truly
astonishing account of himself in
music that has frightened almost
all tenors since Rubini" (World
Telegram and Sun), and "he
stould lie congratulated for his top
singing and general excellence"
(Post).
Some critics have gone so far as
to say that the voice of Conley
ranks with the greatest voices of
all time.
"I Puritani" was especially re-
vived for Conley by La Scala Op-
era house in Milan. He sang at
the Lewisohn Stadium concerts in
New York and then sailed for
Italy to appear in "La Bohtme"
at the outdoor arena in Verona in
the summer of 1950.
Conley was re-engaged by La
Scala in December, 1961, becom-
