Reagan nips Carter
in class poll project
By Denite Tucker
This poll taken by Dr. Art Margo-
sian's Journalism 113 class shows
Ronald Reagan ahead of Jimmy Car¬
ter by a fair margin.
The poll was taken on Oct. 17. The
members of the class took different
areas of the campus and handed out
the survey forms to random students
and faculty.
Margosian says that even this close
to election day, if another poll were
taken a week after this one, the
results could change completely.
A third part to the survey concern¬
ed the song 'Bomb Iran.* Out of a
random sample of 241 people, 226
said they had heard the song.
Only 34 of these said they felt the
song could make the Iranian situation
worse than it is now, and 106 said
they felt the Iranians should receive
equal time to air their response to the
song.

American dream
Growing up to be president
Bv Joann Woodworth
In this election year, many mothers
will hear the same determined state¬
ment from their toddlers: 'Mommy,
when I grow up, I wanna be President
of the United States.'
At one time that may have made
many parents proud to think that their
son, or daughter, would want to
aspire to such great heights.
...many parents would
shudder at the thought.
Now, however, many parents would
shudder at the thought. They prob¬
ably encourage the kids to grow up to
be a business executive or a baseball
Player.
They make better money than a
president.
Parents that an looking for tell-tale
signs of a future politician might be

Dr. Harrison Madden, professor of
psychology at CSUF, said that there is
no easy way to categorize a politician.
In other words, you can' t spot them
at a distance.'

Madden did say that two types of
personalities have a stronger tenden¬
cy to go into politics or civic work.
That person is either dedicated to
principles and does not expect
immediate gains other than helping a
cause, or the political type could be
someone attracted to being In a posi¬
tion of power and authority.
But became a person likes the
...because a person likes

power does not mean
. ha la unscrupulous...
attention and the power does not
mean he is aggressive or unscrup¬
ulous.
"Many political figures are in¬
trigued bv the mental maneuvering
and the mental process rather than
asserting, any physical power,*
Madden said.
'Cood politicians dominate crowds
because they an direct and know
their Job well. They often need to feel
that thev belong, and an liked by
people,* he said.
Madden also said that people like
Nixon or the congressmen indicted in
the ABSCAM scandal should not be
automatically considered corrupt be¬
cause   they   are   in   politics—and
neither should the assumption
be made that bad people automatical¬
ly drift into politics.
'No matter what profession those
people would have chosen, they
would have had problems," Madden
said.
Thev should not necessarily be
considered failures, either. Because
of media and public attention, their
flaws draw more attention.
'Thev were just out of step with the
limes; they Just happen to be in
politics.*
