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.

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.

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.
