Downtown Reaction Concensus: Ike Will Win, Won’t Live By Chuck Hauser When President Eisenhower announced at his Wednesday morning press conference that he would seek a second term in the White House, the news spread quickly through the East Franklin Street business district. Most people on the street and in the stores showed little surprise at the announcement. The concensus seemed to be that Ike would win his race, but that he would not live through the entire four years of office. Jeff’s Campus Confectionary was one of the first places of business to hear the news, because proprietor Jimmy Mous moules had a radio tuned in waiting for the word from Wash ington. Said Mi. Mousmoules, "He’s a good man and I think hell win, but he won’t last in office. 1 hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think he’ll last.’’• A hairdresser employed next door at the Carolina Barber and Beauty Shop was in Jeff's ordering a container of milk at the counter. Her comment: "He's crazy.” And a student i reading a magazine by the big wall rack in the shop added, i "He shouldn’t have done it.” • 1 Here are some other comments gleaned in a hurried inter- ’ viewing tour up and down the drag: I Mr*. Nina Wallace, at the Continental Travel Agency: “I don’t think Ike will live through the term. I’ll vote for Stevenson if he runs. I think Stevenson has a better chance this time than last time.” i Gus Culberson, at the University Service Plants office: I "He’ll win—in a walk.

Os course you can’t use the j long-distance telephone cas ually and freely, whenever | the whim seizes you, unless you have a lot more money that most people have, but to be able to use it only now and then is a blessing. I am talking now not about the value of the long-dis tance telephone in the world of finance and industry, as an expediter of business, but of what it means in the home. What a comfort to know that it is ready for you jn an emergency, in case snnm ■ss or iin accident! What a convenience when you want to make (or can cel) arrangements for meet ings and visits!
