)....U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote:
Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror
by Peter Grose, Special to the New York Times (9/4/1967)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-- United States officials were surprised and heartened today at the size of turnout in South Vietnam's presidential election despite a Vietcong terrorist campaign to disrupt the voting.

According to reports from Saigon, 83 per cent of the 5.85 million registered voters cast their ballots yesterday. Many of them risked reprisals threatened by the Vietcong.

The size of the popular vote and the inability of the Vietcong to destroy the election machinery were the two salient facts in a preliminary assessment of the nation election based on the incomplete returns reaching here.

Pending more detailed reports, neither the State Department nor the White House would comment on the balloting or the victory of the military candidates, Lieut. Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu, who was running for president, and Premier Nguyen Cao Ky, the candidate for vice president.

A successful election has long been seen as the keystone in President Johnson's policy of encouraging the growth of constitutional processes in South Vietnam. The election was the culmination of a constitutional development that began in January, 1966, to which President Johnson gave his personal commitment when he met Premier Ky and General Thieu, the chief of state, in Honolulu in February.

The purpose of the voting was to give legitimacy to the Saigon Government, which has been founded only on coups and power plays since November, 1963, when President Ngo Dinh Deim was overthrown by a military junta.

Few members of that junta are still around, most having been ousted or exiled in subsequent shifts of power.

Significance Not Diminished

The fact that the backing of the electorate has gone to the generals who have been ruling South Vietnam for the last two years does not, in the Administration's view, diminish the significance of the constitutional step that has been taken.

The hope here is that the new government will be able to maneuver with a confidence and legitimacy long lacking in South Vietnamese politics. That hope could have been dashed either by a small turnout, indicating widespread scorn or a lack of interest in constitutional development, or by the Vietcong's disruption of the balloting.

American officials had hoped for an 80 per cent turnout. That was the figure in the election in September for the Constituent Assembly. Seventy-eight per cent of the registered voters went to the polls in elections for local officials last spring.

Before the results of the presidential election started to come in, the American officials warned that the turnout might be less than 80 per cent because the polling place would be open for two or three hours less than in the election a year ago. The turnout of 83 per cent was a welcome surprise. The turnout in the 1964 United States Presidential election was 62 per cent.

Captured documents and interrogations indicated in the last week a serious concern among Vietcong leaders that a major effort would be required to render the election meaningless. This effort has not succeeded, judging from the reports from Saigon.

cousins and I figured something out. Strangely our grandparents had different rooms at the same house. Grand-pa's room became the 'guest room' when one of us stayed the night but otherwise it was his room and Grand-ma had her room. In Grand-ma's room, there was what looked like a queen-size bed, which we thought the Grandparents shared. Grand-pa just liked his own room to watch certain sports' games that G-ma didn't want to see (though there was an available TV in the living room). Anyway, this queen-size appearing bed was actually 2 single beds with a comforter over both of them, making it appear as one. My own parents didn't sleep in the same room or even on the same floor for the last 10 years plus of their marriage. I realize that my parent's problem was just a failure to communicate. But back to the initial issue, we decided that our Grandparents did not really love each other - they must have married and/or stayed together just out of convenience. They're decent to each

Sample size (n)= 81
Mean= 141.89
SD=2.23
Skew= -0.04
Kurtosis= -0.34

1. When I look at my data in a histogram, it doesn't look like a normal distribution, but aren't these skew and kurtosis results fairly good since they both approximate 0?

2. What I'm trying to do here is pick an appropriate sample size that will support the Central Limit Theorem where the outer prediction interval bands (i.e., two-tailed 95%) on each side of the Mean are likely to contain my outliers (residuals) and where reversion to the Mean is most likely. Is the best way to do this to find a sample size that has both a skew and kurtosis that are close to 0? Are there other test statistics that you would use given my objectives?

By "interested," I mean, is this something you would choose to do (or read about) in your spare time if there were no potential to be paid to do so? Whether your answer is "yes" or "no," I'd be curious to know what job you have, so please mention that, too.
