Campaigning Grinds to a Halt

Scores of politicos gathered over warm beer and coke in a steamy Institute of Politics last night to watch and analyze the New Hampshire primary returns.

Amid the din of students rationalizing the performances of their favorites came a flurry of observations from Institute Fellows.

Hale Champion, vice president for financial affairs, whom the Massachusetts caucus for Udall chose as one of its potential district representatives last week, felt sure that Udall's performance would keep him alive financially.

President Bok, who agreed with Champion that the Massachusetts primary would provide a more "realistic test" for Carter, said he "would not be disappointed if Udall prevailed" in the up-coming primary.

But Abraham J. Chayes, professor of Law who backed McGovern in 1972 and now endorses Carter said Carter's victory would give the former governor "a good deal of momentum towards the Massachusetts primary."
