THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, November 10, 1960 CADET SLOUCH BATTALION EDITORIALS Unity Now .» America elected a new president Tuesday and the most important consideration now is to unite behind him. Conversation across the nation—and even on the Texas A&M campus—has been bitter to some respects of the election .outcome. The United States has too many problems, both foreign and domestic, to be haggling among themselves over the election results. True, the race was one of the closest and bitterest in the history of the United States, but John Kennedy will be inaugurated President of the United States in January. And he will assume this post because he was called by a majority, ,'however slim, of the American voting public. • Foreign relations, old age pension, religion, farm meas ures, civil rights and other frictions prominent in the plat forms of this hectic election year must be laid aside. There are challenges from every corner of the world with problems as grave as any ever faced by a free people. The job faced iby thfe incoming President of the United States is as prodigi- [ous a task as ever faced by a man. The man chosen by the American voting public is John F. Kennedy. The Battalion, which has been unable to take a stand in fhe presidential election because of a state law prohibiting state-supported institutions from taking measures to further The cause of a candidate for local, state or national offices, en courages all Americans—especially the students, faculty and '.staff of Texas A&M—to unite behind John F. Kennedy, the ■34th..President of these United States. ★ ★ ★ by Jim Earle JFK Victory Closest Race In 50 Years VJ c. I “ no that wasn’t the fall-out whistle. I’m just waking up the whistle jock.” Falling Behind interpreting Is there any reason why other cities in Texas should sport better United Chest collection records than College 'Station ? Reports last night on the current progress of the United Chest Drive reveal that College Station is lagging considerab ly in reaching its goal of $15,150. In fact, the Drive is more ■than half, over and less than half of the goal has been col lected: $7,503. Compare that mark, if the current trend continues, with other cities in Texas and the result is poor. Here are the percentage results of other Texas cities that have completed their Drive for the year: Nederland has collected 114.2 per cent; the little town of Weimar has collected 105.4 per cent of its goal; Dumas has collected 103.5 per cent; Beaumont, Sherman and East Ber nard just cleared the 100 per cent mark; and Fort Worth be came the first city in Texas to top $1 million while collecting 100.1 per cent of its goal. There are also six cities in Texas still in the midst of their respective drives and have passed the 90 per cent figure. They are Odessa, Port Arthur, Wesla co, Temple and Baytown. Compare College Station with this impressive display of community participation and interest and the results are not at all favorable. The poor showing thus far has been blamed on the na tional elections Tuesday. But College Station still has a long wa yto go. Six days remain to contribute to the United Chest Fund l)rive' and give aid to numerous community organizations while helping themselves. $7,647 is needed. Last year, College Station supassed its goal of $13,000 and the total was upped this year to $15,150 in anticipatation of another fine community showing. If the goal is not equalled or passed, it will brand Col lege Station as a community lagging in civic interest. .. Kennedy Victory Similar To 1866: Undecided Nation By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Some thoughts after scanning the election returns: It’s going to be hard for John F. Kennedy to find any mandate powers in Tuesday’s vote; We heard a lot during the cam paign about undecided voters, and a lot more Wednesday morning about an undecided nation. The counting period is reminiscent of 1888, when Grover Cleveland had a thin popular majority and lost by electoral votes to William Henry Harrison. Kennedy got the electoral votes, all right, but in many states just barely. ★ ★ ★ The evidence is not available for a definite assessment of the effect of the religious issue.

T’where-the-kst-pictures-puw'] THURSDAY AND FRIDAY “THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH” with Jimmy Stewart Plus “HELL BENT FOR LEATHER” with Audie Murphy 3RD IN A SERIES By The Associated Press WASHINGTON—Sen. John F. Kennedy won the presidency Wednesday in the tightest, tough est election in nearly half a cen tury. With a dramatic triumph over Vice President Richard M. Nixon his at last, the 43-year-old Mass achusetts Democrat called upon the people he will lead for a su preme effort ‘to move this coun try safely through the 1960’s.” A switch of less than 40,000 votes in four states would have snatched victory from the young est man and the only Roman Catholic ever to be elected to the White House. In the wake of the balloting, national leaders of both parties spoke out for unity in the nation. But sounds of a battle for con trol of the Republican party be gan erupting along conservative- liberal lines. Sen. Barry Goldwater of Ariz- ^ -v, ona > wearing the mantle of leader f of the conservative element in the GOP, said the Republicans lost the presidency because they had a “mee-too” candidate. the 32 years of mass education and better communication be tween groups of people since Al fred E. Smith de seem to have had some effect. The Southern states which went Republican have done so before on different issues. If Richard M. Nixon was helped in traditionally Republican farm territory here he faced tough economic issues, it cannot be proven. ★ ★ ★ The election offers new evi dence of a trend which has al ready been wjdely recognized in this century as steadily changing the face of America. It is the tendency of the population to shift to the cities, and t» vote Democratic after arriving. ★ ★ ★ Nixon was both praised and criticized during the campaign for attempting to makke his own personality and his own experi ence the issue, rather than run primarily as the representative of his party. He does appear to have outrun the party. Paraguary Just Emerging From 19th Century Ways (EditoFs note: Third in a ser ies of articles on South Ameri can countries, this was written by Jimmy Carter, who has lived in Paraguay for the past one and a half years). By JIMMY CARTER Paraguay is a nation just emerging from the 19th Century, where she has been for the past 50 years, due to several devas tating wars and a situation of be ing land-locked. Asuncion, the capital of Para guay, was founded in 1537 and was the leading city of South America for 200 years. Sudden ly the queen city as left behind and only recently has she begun to catch up with the rest of the continent. The country today has a pop ulation of aproximately 1,755,000, with 3,000,000 cattle and 2,000,- 000 horses in an area roughly the size of California. Paraguay has an agrarian eco nomy with its chief product being beef, cotton and hardwood. The official language is Spanish, but the Guarani Indian language is more widely understood. The capital of this country is a city of flowering trees, lined boulevards, historic colonial buildings and houses, modern ho tels and offices, six ox-team cai’ts, and a perpetual traffic jam of autos from all over the world. A person may see cigar-smok ing women with baskets of live chickens on their heads, riding their litle burros side-saddle to, market. One’s ears will be filled by the tolling of bells from the many churches of Asuncion. All traffic may come to a halt in front of the president’s mansion as you wait for a cow to slowly edge its way down the street eating oranges off the trees. The unus ual is always the rule in Asunci on. Paraguay, which for centuries was isolated from the rest of South America, is now a central cross-roads, connected by three jet airline routes to the rest of the continent. It is becoming an increasingly popular tourist spot because of its quiet, easy tempo, its unsur passed hunting and fishing, its beautiful hand-made laces, and its friendly people. But its own determination, and with the help of the United States and the United Nations, Para guay is smoothly entering its 20th century, which is so often not the ’ cast with other unde veloped nations.
