OAS’ Opens
At Pan Am
T alks
Week
“Operation OAS,” a program of
talks and discussion, opened Pan
American Week’s series of events
Wednesday, in the Memorial Stu
dent Center Assembly Room, start
ing at 8 p.m.
Speakers on the program were
Carlos Diaz, agricultural engineer
ing major at A&M from Lima,
Peru; Edward P. Fay, dmector of
the Houston World Trade Cen
ter; and R. D. Thompson, assistant
professor in the Division of Busi
ness Administration.
Opening the program, which was
moderated by Dorsey McCrory, as
sistant to the president at A&M,
Diaz spoke on the topic, “What is
my role in Latin American Af
fairs?” The student made four
proposals for improvements at
A&M.
1. Break up the campus “cliques”
of Latin American students and en
courage more intermingling be
tween these students and United
States students at the college.
2. Make some changes in Eng
lish instruction for Latin Ameri
can students, to include a three-
month English prepratory course
for these students before they be
gin actual work on a degree.
3. Encourage more discussion of
Latin American affairs in the
A&M classrooms, and begin new
courses in Latin American econo
mics and sociology.
4. Translate these and disserta
tions of the college into Spanish
•and mail these to Latin Ameri
can centers of learning.
Diaz also encouraged improve
ment in the scholarship systems
for Latin American students, that
they be given on a qualitative
basis, instead of the “first come,
first get” method now in action.
The second speaker, Fay, spoke
on “What is the role of the Unit
ed States in Latin America?” and
his talk emphasized the import
ance of the U. S. combating com
munist propagandists in Latin
America.
“Too long, we have been cast as
a super-villian to these people,
and compared to a decaying Rome.
Why? Because of our indifference
to Latin American problems. Our
role should be that of a power
ful democracy, and protector of
freedom in Latin America,” Fay
said.
He continued by saying the
many similarities between the U.
S. and the Latin American coun
tries should be sold to the nations
to the South.
Third speaker on the program
was Thompson, discussing “The
Role of A&M in Latin America.”
His talk centered aro.tmd the edu
cational needs of Latin America,
and obeyance of the rule, “I am
my brother’s keeper,” by A&M and
the U. S. as a whole.
“A&M’s role is limited by execu
tive decision, and can be carried
out only to that extent of planning
and action,” said Thompson.
He recapitulated several of the
points mentioned earlier by Diaz,
and stressed the demand for edu
cation in the Latin American coun
tries, which far exceeds the faci
lities available at A&M or any
other single institution.
Following talks by the three
speakers, an active discussion ses
sion of questions and answers was
conducted, with questions not only
being aimed at the panelists, but
intermingled among- members of
the audience.

GENEVA—The Soviet Union shrugged off a warning
from President Kennedy and British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan to accept an enforceable test ban treaty or see new
U. S. nuclear blasts in the atmosphere before the month is
out.
In an appearance Wednesday before the 17-nation gener

government to any positive response.

until fall the shaky presidential chair he inherited through a
military coup.
Argentines mulled resentfully over four drastic new
monetary decrees that economists estimated would boost the
cost of living at least 10 per cent.
U. S. News
WASHINGTON—President Kennedy bluntly denounced
the major steel companies Wednesday for “a wholly unjusti
fiable and irresponsible defiance of the public interest” in
raising their prices by $6 a ton.
A nationwide television audience saw the President
speaking in cold anger and disdain—accuse “a tiny handful of
steel executives, whose pursuit of private power and profit
exceeds their sense of public responsibility with utter con
tempt for the interests of 185 million Americans.”
PLAINVIEW—An employe of West Texas financier Bil
lie Sol Estes testified Wednesday that one of Estes’ grain
storage companies earned about $8 million from the govern
ment in a little over three years.
The money, said Lloyd Stone, went to Commercial Sol

fertilizer sold in Estes’ widespread sales system.
The testimony came at a court of inquiry called by
Texas Atty. Gen. Will Wilson, who says he is seeking infor

Researchers
Finish Study
Of Ocean Shelf
Two A&M scientists have com
pleted the first biological, chemi
cal and physical oceanographic
study on the Continental shelf of
Argentina.
The two scientists, Drs. Sayed
Z. El-Sayed and George Huebner,
both of the Department of Oceano
graphy and Meteorology, recently
returned from Argentina.
Purposes of the survey were
to study the current patterns in
Drake Passage between the At
lantic and Pacific Oceans and to
determine the organic production
of the Continental Shelf.
El-Sayed and Huebner flew to
Buenos Aires to begin the study,
where they conferred with marine
scientists at the University of
Buenos Aires on currents and
other biological problems in the
Passage.
Their second stop was at the
Museum of Natural Sciences in
Buenos Aires where they also talk
ed with scientists. The third of
their conference was at the Insti
tute de Biologia Marina at Mar
Del Plata, Argentina.
There the two boarded a ship,
the “Captain Canepa,” furnished
by the hydrographic branch of the
Argentinan Navy. Capt. Louis
Capurro, for three years a staff
member of the Department of
Oceanography here and presently
chief hyrographer for the Argen
tinan Navy, arranged for the
study.
The survey was made possible by
a National Science Foundation
grant. The two scientists said that
Argentina’s hospitality was ex
cellent and that the Argentinan
scientists greatly appreciated
A&M’s interest in the research be
ing made in Drake Passage as
well as on the Continental Shelf.
The two scientists plan to re
turn to Argentina in November to
continue the study.
