, When Latin-Am erican music is

Mexico, and his friend, Glia M ar­
quez, of Caracas, Venezuela, are 
tile boys to go to. They conceived 
the idea about a year ago of g e t­
together a bunch of boys

who really knew Latin-Am erican 
folk and dance music. With these 
to think is to act, and 
fellows, 
today 
the “ O rquestra Hispano- 
am ericana” is playing fo r every 
p arty and club m eeting th a t gets 
a notion it w ants something truly 
Latin-A m erican.

Sociology 369 
Views Values

The catalogue says th a t Soci­
ology 369 involves “a sociological 
interpretation of the Latin-Am er­
ican area; a consideration of 
Latin-Am erican history and gov­
ernm ent from the point o f view 
of sociological theory and methods 
of analysis. T hat is, the course 
reports the efforts to utilize fac­
tual d ata on Latin-Am eriea for 
the purpose of testing sociolgical 
theories and as a m eans of train ­
ing in the use of sociological meth­
ods of analysis.

Needless to rem ark, the course 
than 
represents som ething more 
the effo rt to keep a sociologist 
inter­
(who also happens to be 
ested in Latin-A m eriea) busy. 
In 
last analysis, it rests on the very 
practical assum ption th a t a soci­
ological m anipulation of the enor­
mous mass of factual data accum­
ulated through the researches of 
devoted students of Latin-Am eri­
can history, government, and an­
thropology should prove of value 
in understanding I*atin-America.
Basically, this means th at an a t­
tem pt is made to view Latin-Amer- 
ica in term s of the values that give 
direction to the behavior of the 
people who breathe the “air" of 
the Latin-American climata of 
opinion.

The fields of study in which 
the U niversity's 181 Hispanic 
guests are interested vary as wide­
ly as do the countries from which 
they come. They are enrolled rn 
the College of Arts and Sciences, 
the School o f Business Adminis­
tration, the School of Education, 
the College of Engineering, th* 
College of Fine Arts, the Gradu­

was founded in 1940 as the re­
sult of several years of discussion 
on 
the Board of 
Regents, the president of the Uni­

It was fe lt th at there was 
such a growing in terest in Latin-

be a common center fo r I^itin-

graduate work, research, publica­

here. 
The executive com m ittee 
serves as an advisory agency for 
students 
Latin-Am erican 
countries who seek to study broad­
ly Latm-American history and 
culture and to combine this with 
a general education a t the Univer­

committee are Dr. Charles Wilson 
Hackett, Dr. F. M. Bullard, Don­
ald Coney, Dr. Pablo Max Yna- 
fran, Dr. George Engerrand, Dr. 
J. R. Spell, and Dr. Rex Hopper.
Only courses of Latin-Am erican 
content are offered in the insti­
tu te —none of them below junior 
rank— in the fields of anthropol­
ogy, education, geology, govern­

T he A m erican w ho has studied 
Spanish 
fo r several yea rs goes* 
down to P aragu ay only to hear 
a lan g u a g e th a t sounds lik e an y­
th in g but Spanish to him . This is 
on e o f the m ost p ath etic situ a ­
tio n s one can think o f. But the

cou raged la ter when he is told that 
he is right and th at the lan guage

as tru ly the ton gu e o f th e cou n ­

A lthough Spanish is the o ffic ia l

is lib erally spoken by the m iddle

T he lan gu age has proved a v a l­

the cou n try has

G uarani is also spoken in a less

am ple 
in the A rg e n tin e province

W e are seein g the birth o f a 
new era in H ollyw ood, the death 
o f a very unhealthy notion. That 
is the tendency to judge a film 
by its budget. There is som e lojjlfc 
in this. C ertainly a picture w ith

be slightly superb. But a com ­

Th® Ceram ic Division o f 

the 
Bureau o f Industrial C hem istry 
o f the U niversity recen tly con­
ducted a research on the use o f 
verm icu lite w ith clay to produce 
a structural unit p ossessin g the 
unique com bination o f high in su ­
latin g value and satisfactory load- 
bearing strength. This in sulating 
unit can also be d ecorated and 
glazed to give an im pervious su r­
face, which advantage provides 
both w all and fin ish in g m aterial 
in on®, a possibility not found in 
any other in sulating m aterial.

V erm iculite, a m em ber o f the 
mica fam ily, is an unusual m in- i 
eral, but fortu n ately is found in J 
abundance in the Llano area o f 
Texas, This in sulating m aterial : 
can be m anufactured fairly cheap- 
ly and would contribute much to I 
human com fort, particularly 
this clim ate, said F. K. P ence, a®- I 
sociate director of ceram ics at the ’ 
U niversity, but pilot p lant opera- j 
tions are badly needed to make I 
this product available.

Most of th e men in th e 102nd are from 
th e E as t— Y ankees, to dyed-in-the-wool 
Te xans. Most of t h e University co-eds on 
t h e o t h e r h a n d a r e na ti ve Te xa ns or

So ut h er n er s. T h a t should m e a n 
bo th th e soldiers an d th e belles will have 
f u n reconciling t h e i r points of view r e ­
g a r d i n g t h e Civil W a r , poll taxes, fr eig ht 
rates, an d similar points of a r gu m e nt .
Best of all, t h e luc ky co-eds who are 
chosen to be gu ests of Ca m p Swift fo r a 
d a y will ha v e t h e op p o rt u n i ty of seeing 
A m e r i c a ’s fig h t in g m a n in his du rat io n

hab it at. He retofore, most University 
wom en have k no w n soldiers only as ci­
vilians in uniform and not as men wh o 
have a d ea d l y earnest, very difficult job 
of tr ai ni n g fo r war. The trip to Swift 
should be eye-opening.

Th e co-eds can do some public r e l a ­

the w a r effort, too. T h e y ca n tell th e 
soldiers abo ut our a cc el er a te d stu d y p r o ­

Navy t r a i n in g pr ogr am s, etc.

Ail in th e all, th e d a y a t Swift should

of N o r t h wrestern Univer si ty ’s physical

soft,” said Prof. K r a n z in r ef e r r in g to 
th e high p e r c e n ta g e of physical r e j e c ­

He outlined a te nt at iv e p ea ce ti me p r o ­

and high schools.

“ W e should have le ar n ed o ur lesson 
as a nation a f t e r Wor ld M a r I , ” Prof. 
K r a n z said. “ In stead we r e t u r n e d to a 
life of ease an d luxury almost im med i­
ately following t h e armistice. W e w ere 
wi de a w a k e to th e necessity for cond i­

“ P o s t w a r tr a i n in g will be a chal leng e

“ Year s ago o ur youth developed s ta m i­

He asserted too muc h em pha sis ha s 
been placed on competitive sports a t the 
expense of mass tra ining, 
In stead of a

I ’nde r th e p r o g r a m by Prof. K ran z, 
pupils would be required
