...actual result of the election as decided in the House is of no importance. The two parties will pick one of their own (read: Humphrey or Nixon) to be President. It is even possible that Republicans in New York would elect a slate of electors who would bolt, to the man, from Nixon to Rockefeller giving him forty-three electoral votes which would be hypothetically more than the candidate who finished third thereby making Rockefeller one of the three Constitutional candidates for the office and the eventual compromise pick for President...
...Strom Thurmond has been stumping the South for Nixon but strangely neglecting South Carolina. Wallace, as a result, has edged ahead. Thurmond's own supporters are so concerned that a Wallace victory would damage the Senator's prestige that they have distributed bumper stickers pleading, HELP STROM, ELECT NIXON.

Whatever the eventual figures, the new House is not likely to be a homey place-for anybody. In all likelihood Democrats will bear the responsibility for running a House over which they will have little real control.

Breezing past a warning shot fired by a student sentinel, São Paulo cops rounded up all 739, carted them off in trucks and Jeeps and slapped them into jail. After questioning, most of the students were released...
That promise is sufficient reason to elect the Profit slate. Although there are no glaring injustices which the student slate will be able to correct at once, student directors will nonetheless assure that student opinion will be heard in the managing of the Coop. It will also assure that such opportunities for a socially useful role for the Coop as may arise in the future will be fully and imaginatively explored. And it is reasonable to expect that, with a group of able and concerned students on the board of the Coop actively looking for such opportunities, they will become...
