PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinio We Hope For Him When the polls probate the will of the American people today the beneficiary selected will inherit not only the Presidency of the United States but also the leader ship of the 800 million persons living in countries com monly labeled “free,” as opposed to the 900 million persons who inhabit countries that adhere -to the Communist ideology. And even more important will be how the selectee interprets the responsibility of the United States to the 700 million persons bearing the trademark “uncommitted.” These people, most of whom have recently been released from the chains of colonialism, can tip the balance of power to the East or West. They might also bear the trademark “have-nots.” We hope a U.S. aid program will be set up that will assist the people and not the dictator or wealthy elite that hold the power in many cases. We hope the new President will understand that economic assistance must be given without stipulations, profits to American business, or unexpected political reciprocity. We hope he realizes that aid cannot be effec tive if it tries to superimpose our way of life on the recipients. We hope the new leader will have the foresight to send representatives to foreign countries who can speak the language and understand the culture. We hope he will see the need to lay aside the blind moral stand against Red China and recognize its govern ment as the true ruler of the 650 million Chinese in spite of the anguished cries of Chiang and his cronies who represent little more than a handful of Chinese on Formosa, The United Nations cannot be considered a universal body so long as Vi of the world population is unrepresent ed there. We hope he can formulate policy on Algeria and Iran that is compatible with the inevitable victory of the masses. We hope he maintains a humanitarian concern for the world’s masses, who’s plight rests in large part with him and his capabilities to handle his elected office. A Student-Operated.

Interpreting Whole World Hears American Voter By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst 4 The qualified citizen of the United States who does not vote today denies hint self one of the greatest priv ileges ever accorded to free men in their association with one another. Ho also fails to respond to a heavy responsibility to itis. neighbors, to join them in mak ing a decision which should be made by tile whole people if the presidency is to cany the weight assigned to it under our system of government. And he refuses to exercise a power which is far greater, and carries a vastly increased sig nificance, than when if was Satlg Mlwjtan first exercised by his forefa thers. In the early days of suf frage in the United States the voice of the voter was not heard beyond Washington. Today it is heard around the world, even to the most far away cranny. For the man chosen today will be the leader and protector of the portions of the world which still strive for the free dom of w h i c h the A merican vote is the Roberts symbol. The registration this year provides the opportunity for the greatest vote in history. By THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA CHESTER LUCIDO Business Manager Snowed Out on a Presidential Limb Barring any last-minute shift in voter sentiment, Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy should be elec ted the 35th President of the United States today. He will be the first Catholic and the youngest man ever elected to the Presidency. Senator Kennedy’s victory could border on that of land slide proportions with an elec toral vote majority of 100 or more possible. A late-campaign surge tow ard the Massachusetts senator apparently couldn’t be stopped by the Vice President despite eleventh hour aid from the popular incumbent President The popu lous. states in the North eastern part of (he nation should line up behind tho popular New England sen- ator by vary- majori- N e w with its big bloc of 45 electoral votes may give Kennedy a 300,000 vote plurality, while New Jer sey, Massachusetts, Connecti cut and' Rhode Island provide the Democratic ticket with somewhat lesser victory mar gins.

On world affairs, both will follow a United States policy which, in general, has been well-established by the pres sures of the East-West contest. It's not a mailer of choosing one man and casting aside the other, insofar as the outside world is concerned. It is a matter of reaffirma tion that the American people are still interested in the is sues which affect new liber ties or preserve old ones, that the American voters do not duck and run —• or go fishing when their problems, which so closely concern everyone, are up for consideration. Michigan should also back the Democratic nominee, but by considerably smaller majori ties. The vole in the Keystone state may be extremely close. The GOP nominee, Richard M. Nixon, will gather much of his support from the tradi tionally Republican farm states and from other states in the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountains and the South. Three Southern states that went for President Eisenhow er in 1952 and 1956 will prob ably again be found in the GOP column when the returns are in late tonight. They are Virginia, Florida and Texas, The Vice President should also gain the eight electoral votes of South Carolina. If he does, it will be the first time that this state has appeared in the Republican column since Reconstruction days, A Kennedy surge in recent weeks in the Pacific states will apparently fall short of carry ing Oregon, Washington and Hawaii to the Democratic camp. However, the Kennedy- Johnson ticket should carry California with her prize of 32 electoral votes as well as strongly Democratic Alaska. The Midwestern states of Il linois and Missouri' should give their electoral votes to Kennedy, although the margin in Illinois will be very slim. Indiana and Kentucky are likely to back Nixon, The sparsely populated states in the western third of MYERS Letters TOCS Purpose Stated TO THE EDITOR: In response to an inquiry from one of your reporters I should like to make the following statement con cerning TOCS: The letters TOCS stand for “Thoughtful Observers of the Contemporary Scene” and TOCS is a non-political move ment which has no connection with the presidential election campaign. TOCS is, in fact, ex pected to continue indefinitely, or at least until there are no longer any thoughtful observ ers on the contemporary scene. Members of TOCS wear a while lapel button with the let ters TOCS in blue across the, center of the button.

Totals united by a common desire to preserve certain traditional features of university life which appear to be in danger of disappearing in the present so-called “jet age.” These include a campus atmosphere of scholarship and a pace of operation sufficiently unhurried to allow adequate time for reflection and/or meditation on the part of both faculty and students. —Edwin R.
