JOHNSON Arab Friendship Impresses Prof By TIM E. LANE Special Writer What do people in “underveloped countries” really think of Ameri cans from whom they receive foreign aid ? Dr. Bardin H. Nelson, who re turned from two years in Syria in September, says the people of Syria and other middle eastern countries are extremely friendly to Americans. “Their governments are a dif ferent matter,” he adds. The gov ernment of Syria, like most Arab governments, is suspicious of Americans because of American friendship with Israel. “The common people are eager to show friendship, however, and it it almost impossible to travel in Syria without someone in each village insisting on providing hos pitality—right down to their last crust of bread.” Nelson, who has been with the Department of Agricultural Eco nomics and Sociology since 1950, worked for two years as a member of an eight-man team sponsored by the Ford Foundation’s Overseas Development Program for the Mid dle East. He and the other mem bers of the team were the first Americans to teach at the Uni versity of Aleppo in Aleppo, Sy ria. Nelson acted as consultant in economics and sociology, and taught classse through an inter preter until he learned Arabic. Development aid seems to be ac complishing its purpose, Nelson says. “Syrians are very willing to modernize their agriculture, and have had striking improvement in some areas. At a place called Jezira, for example, an area very similar to Lubbock or Amarillo, the average cotton yield with ir rigation is two to three bales per acre. “The great need, though, is for industry—industry based on ag riculture. Take wool, for example— Syria is one of the world’s leaders in raw wool exports and one of England’s largest customers for wool finished goods. “This is why economist are sent to these countries— to point out inconsistencies like this.” Nelson has been asked by the Ford Foundation to return to Sy ria this summer for field work. “I haven’t decided definitely whether I’ll go, but the people are very hospitable there. I prob ably will.” Thru Rain, Wind, Weather Cadets Allen Devilleneuve, left, and Jim Blankenship are fulfilling- a part of “Rawhide” as they go through the mud in the new parking lot area.

C. Bashaw, research geneticist with the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, as he substituted for R. L. Whiting in the YMCA’s “Last Lecture” series Monday night. Speaking of the present contro versy concerning inclusion of the theory of evolution in new text books for Texas schools, he said, “The conflict is basically a fail ure to reconcile one’s concept of the Biblical account of creation and certain scientific observations.” “As science developed along sound factual lines, authoritarian religious leaders refused to en large their concept of the Creator to encompass these developments,” he said. In explaining his belief in evolu tion, Bashaw stated, “If the new characteristic makes the individual better able to survive a change in environment he will eventually outlast the old type.” A person can reconcile the dif ferences between science and re ligion if he “is willing to admit that God is a God of unlimited magnitude,” concluded Bashaw. The speaker for the “Last Lec ture” series next week will be Rea gan V. Brown of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Socio logy. Got A Big Act?
