As had been the case for most of the
campaign, the Reagan-Ford matchup
grabbed most of the attention election
night.
Reagan jumped into an early lead with a
strong showing in Manchester, where the
Union Leader, the state’s largest news
paper, had religiously backed the former
California governor.
Then it was Ford ahead, then Reagan,
and Ford again as returns slowly began to
come in from Keene in the far southwest
ern part of the state. The President had
visited Keene, and his supporters expected
a strong showing there.
It was clear early that Ford had fallen far
short of a margin normally held by an in
cumbent president, though his case is un
ique in that he was not elected. Reagan
strategists had kept their predictions low —
“something over 40 per cent” — while
Ford himself had predicted outright vic
tory for his campaign in New Hampshire.
As early returns built a Reagan lead.
Ford campaign strategists in Washington
invoked the name of Richard M. Nixon,
saying the former president’s trip to China
revived memories of the Watergate scan
dal, his resignation and his subsequent
pardon by Ford.
But Reagan’s state campaign manager,
Hugh Gregg, called such reasoning “non
sense” and declared, “It never came up in
the campaign. They’re just looking for an
excuse. ”
Carter’s victory pushed him to the front
of nine Democratic contenders for the
nomination and will likely give him a big
boost in the contests he faces next — the
Democratic delegate caucuses in South
Carolina on Saturday, primaries in Mas
sachusetts and Vermont next Tuesday and
in Florida on March 9.
But Udall said his second place showing
also was a boost for his campaign because it
put him into the lead against the more lib
eral contenders in the race -— Bayh, Harris
and Shriver.
“We emerged out of the contest as the
leader of the progressive center candi
dates. We are where we planned to be,”
said Udall who first began campaigning in
New Hampshire in the summer of 1974.
Bayh said he was gratified by his show
ing. “We’re running a good strong third,”
he said. Bayh, who announced his entry
into the race last November, in the past hasl
lamented his late start.
Harris, who had waged a populist cam
paign against big business and had largely
been ignored by the state’s party organiza
tion, said he had hoped to do better than
fourth.
And Shriver, who said he was “encour
aged” despite his last-place finish, said he
was looking forward to a better showing in
the Massachusetts primary.

prepared for application of federal
funds, the following reccommenda-
tions were made:
•Pass an ordinance making it illegal
to park in a striped bike path.
•All bicycle lanes should be properly
striped and signed.
•All streets designated “Bike Route”
should have lower speed limits than
other similar streets.
•All bi-directional bike lanes should
be at least seven feet wide and
should have center striping and ar
rows painted on the bike lanes show
ing travel direction.
• Bi-directional bike lanes should
have extra warning signs.
• Right turns on red should be illegal
withing city limits.
•The city should plan for the con
struction of bike paths to and in all
parks.
After surveying the areas of traffic
on the two days, the League recom
mended that bike paths be installed
in the following places in the College
Station area:
• From Southwood Valley residential
area to Southwest Parkway.
• From A&M Consolidated High
School onto Orr to join with Glade.
• From Madison to Wellborn, on
both sides of Southwest Parkway.
Also down to Bee Creek Park.
•From Glade onto Haines and con
tinue to Langford. Restripe, widen
and improve Glade.
•On Langford all the way to South
Knoll School.
•Around the corner of Haines and
Langford up to Winding Road and
down hill to Orr.
• On Luther from Wellborn to Dex
ter connecting with Holleman.
• On Holleman from Wellborn to
Anderson.
•On Anderson from Holleman to
Jersey.
• From Lawyer and Boswell, up
Lawyer to Caudill, on to Winding
Road across short area of Holleman
and back to Winding Road on to Dex
ter and to Jersey and to the Univer
sity.
