Faculty Works For Stevenson at Columbia Meeting
Three Columbia professors discussed methods to mobilize voters for Stevenson at a Students for Stevenson gathering held last Thursday at noon in Harkness Auditorium. Oscar Campbell noted Eisenhower’s hero status does not guarantee presidential effectiveness and recalled his limited non military job record with laughter. Irwin Edman described Eisenhower’s appeal as emotional and warned that small scale integrity signals a need for change. Robert Hale found conflict between Eisenhower’s reported stance and Byrnes’ loyalty to country with approval of McCarthy Jenner and Ken.
