Votes. Votes
Movimiento de Izquierda _ FRAP [Communist and Socialist Revolucionaria 148 parties] . 95 Democracia Cristiana 96 Movimiento de Izquierda Partido Radical 40 Revolucionaria 43
Democracia Cristiana 16 (The CP and SP did not run)
Temuco (in the south of Chile)
Partido Comunista 190 Partido Radical 180 Democracia Cristiana 170 MIR-PS-PCR 123
These additional results confirm the fact that the Christian Democracy is losing strength, although slowly, in-the student movement. The Communist party has gained, the Socialist party has gone down and the MIR has consolidated its influence in the student movement, obtaining the chairmanship of the Center of Medicine in Concepcién, some delegates in the Center of Philosophy at Santiago and a leader in the Regional College of the province of Temuco.
In a balance sheet drawn up at the end of the year by the Chilean political nag~ azine of biggest circulation, the conclusion is drawn:
"The political force displaying the most aggressive action was the Left Revolutionary Movement (MIR), which initiated spectacular struggles in the Institute of Pedagogy at the University of Chile." (Ercilla, December 28, 1966, p. 25.)
