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.

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.

ordinary barometers of politi
cal pressure, the people have
made no overwhelming choice
between the two men( although
few are so bold as to try to
judge the effect of the religious
issue.
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,

TO THE EDITOR: In response
to an inquiry from one of your

the following statement con
cerning TOCS:
The letters TOCS stand for
“Thoughtful Observers of the
Contemporary Scene” and
TOCS is a non-political move

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

Members of TOCS wear a

center of the button. At pres

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.
