Eisenhower Backers Begin Drive Tonight

A new "Students for Eisenhower" organization, whose sole function will be to poll student opinion concerning the President, will begin a membership campaign in four Houses and the Union today.

Although not an "I-Like-Ike" club, the group will operate with the belief that Eisenhower is the best man for the Presidency at the present and will seek to determine whether or not students feel he should run again in 1956. Its faculty advisers are Bruce C. Hopper, associate professor of Government, and Robert Braucher, professor of Law.

Chairman Morton Korn '57 said yesterday that the organization was "clearly independent of the HYRC, although the Republican Club has promised it support from its members."
