A Death; A Challenge
The death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, ,‘15th Presi
dent of the United States, is a great loss to the entire
Free World.
Since his iunauguratibn in January, 1!)61 as the
youngest President in U. S. history, Kennedy piloted
this nation through some of its most trying crises.
With youthful vigor and stout conviction he met
head-on the great challenges of the office of chief
executive of the world’s greatest nation. In the pro
cess, President Kennedy succeeded in winning the
respect, if not the admiration, of the people of the
United States and the entire world.
But his untimely death is cause for more than
mourning. It should be considered a challenge to the
new administration and the people of the United
States to meet the problems of the decade with re
newed conviction and determination.
President Kennedy’s own words to the United Na
tions best describe the challenge facing the nation
in this tragic hour:
“We meet here in an hour of grief and challenge.
Dag Ilannnarskjold is dead. But the United Nations
lives. The problem is not the death of one man—the
problem is the life of this organization. It will cither
grow to meet the challenges of our age or it will be
gone with the wind, without influence, without
respect.”
President Kennedy rests in the annals of history.
But the Republic still lives and there is more history
to be made.

Eaves: i Coming To Do Job 9
By BILLY MANN
K«*d and Block Sport* Editor
Georgia’s new athletic director, Joel
Eaves, said it simply, firmly, concisely; "I’m
coming in there to do a job. That's all.”
An inquisitor, conducting an exclusive
telephone interview Monday night, had
asked Eaves if his coming to Athens
would mean sweeping changes in Georgia's
athletic setup; if, indeed, he would bring to
University athletics a campaigning chip on
his shoulder.
The former Auburn University basket
ball coach was named to the athletic direc
torship Friday by University President Dr.
O. C. Aderhold. His selection ended two
days’ speculation as to who would succeed
Wallace Butts, who retired Feb. 28.
Business manager of athletics and golf
coach Howell Hollis had served in an acting
athletic director capacity since Butts’ re
tirement.
Eaves’ reply continued, "I won’t take
over the office with an ax in my hand. I’ll
try to do the best Job I can.”
Eaves came to Athens Tuesday for the
first time since his selection. He, his wife
and his family (a daughter, It, and a son.
14) will not move here, however, until
Christmas holidays.
Though firm in his objective, to try to
make Georgia a winner, Eayes is a cautious
man. “On the subject of possible changes,”
he said, “I don’t try to make decisions like
that from a long way off. Those decisions
will be much more proper," he said, “when
