ion Polls Decline
by Warren McClain
“Election results have completely discredited the public opinion polls,” Dr. Russell L. Caldwell, assistant professor of I history, said yesterday.
The Gallup and Elmo Roper polls will decline as political I opinion forces, he predicted, but they will not disappear j completely, l he polls had predicted * i that Dewey would win the election easily.
REPUBLICANS HURT
“The polls’ inaccuracy hurt the Republicans more than anyone else because the GOP was lulled into a false sense of security by them,” Dr.
Caldwell said. The Republicans were so sure of victory that Dewey’s campaign speeches consisted mostly of generalities while Truman was more specific,” iie said.
He also suggested that the polls may have led Republican voters to such overconfidence that many of them neglected to go to the polls.
“Too many factors enter the picture for the public opinion polls to i be accurate,” Dr. Caldwell said. “Re-I gardless of the size of the sample taken, the polls cannot estimate personal intangibles or the factors which influence people to vote,” he said.
VOTERS CHANGE
He said the Taft-Hartley labor law was an example of the failure of polls to consider how voters change their minds during an election year. The Gallup poll indicated that the law was popular last year,

POLLS WERE WRONG
"The polls were wrong for some time before the elections,” Dr. Caldwell said, discrediting the theory that not enough polls were taken in the last few weeks of the campaign. Truman’s last trip across the nation, which attracted larger crowds than Dewey’s, was not the deciding factor, he said.

Cravath Lauds Rooters' Spirit
Coach Jeff Cravath yesterday expressed his sincere appreciation for spirit demonstrated by the rooting section at the Cal game.
“On behalf of the coaching staff, the team, and myself, I want to thank the yell leaders and the rooting section for their support,” Cravath said.
The spirit and support given during that game had a "noticeable effect on members of the team,” he said.
The rooting section now has the high spirit that marked all SC’s games before the war, Cravath said.
“In those days SC had a lot of ycung students with high spirits,” he said, “and we had one of the best rooting sections in the country.”'
On his way out to the practice field the coach asked the rooters to keep up the swell job of backing up the team. “We can’t help but do better with that kind of spirit,”
| he said.

Austin was speaking on the j atomic energy control problem before the 58-nation assembly when he urged that the big powers confer at a high level to find out:

Austin's statement was written before the dramatic newTs of the overturn in the American election was received here, but was delivered in the knowledge that he spoke for a United America. It was the first major policy statement by any American official after the victory newrs.
Secretary of State George C. Marshall, No. 1 diplomat of the United States, remained almost silent.
Before news was received that Dewey had conceded the election, and at a time when the UN had not realized the sudden turn, Marshall was asked about a report that he would resign Jan. 20 no matter whioh candidate won.
He pencilled on a piece of paper the comment:
“I have made no statement whatsoever. I have on numerous occasions expressed a very sincere desire to retire from government service.”

Health Plans ProveWorthy
by Marion SehYirs
Ten dollars is a lot of money!
Almost everyone in these days of high prices will agree to that, but one way to beat inflation is to spend dollars where they will do the most’ good.
Data available from colleges and universities all over the country show that student health plans offer a big dollar's value to those who take advantage of them.
The University of Minnesota for
lism runs, and electrocardiograms. This plan offers 30 days per semester of free hospital care in a 196-bed infirmary. The charge is only $10 per semester. (Try to find thirty days of hospital care for $10 in private practice.)
Harvard, for $15 per semester, offers services of 7 physicians, 10 consulting specialists, 2 surgeons. 8 consulting surgeons, and 3 psychiatrists.
The school offers free hospitaliza-
tion in a 152-bee* hospital and dental work and laboratory tests are free. X-rays are available at slight cost.
An item that does not appear in statistics and which cannot be evaluated in terms of dollars is the life-time advantage which students may gain from using an adequate health service. All university services provide valuable preventive care and general KSSItTT Counseling.
Netherlands Colonial policy in the East Indies, United Nations problem, will be discussed at the LAS lecture series today in Hancock auditorium. 3 p.m.
Dr. E. Van Raalte, lecturer at
1 the University of Amsterdam, will ! be the speaker. He is now studying methods of foreign service procedure being taught in American universities.
Dr. Hans Von Koerber, SC professor of Asiatic Studies, in an interview yesterday clarified the Dutch Colonial policy.
WEALTH IN INDIES
The Dutch, he said, are pursuing a colonial policy because they do not want to lose their grip on the Dutch East Indies, the source of the [wealth that characterizes Holland. He added they desire 100 per cent trade with the Indies so they will not have to compete with other world powers for trade.
In a way, Dr. Von Koerber said, the Dutch are justified in following such a policy.
“The Malayan people are beginning to nationalize — a healthy movement in itself—but they have been subjected to Communist influence coming from Siberia. Manchuria, Burma, and down to the East Indies.
NATIONALISM OK
Tf it were cnly a nationalistic movement,” Dr. Von Koerber said, “I believe the Dutch would be willing to deal with them.
The conflict between the newly established Indonesian republic and Netherlands policy has come up before the UN security council on four different occasions.
Dr. Van Raalte will be introduced by Dr. Adrian Hartog, Netherlands consyl in Los Angeles, who will be introduced by Chancellor Rufus B. von KieinSmid.
