GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala
— Aid poured into Guatemala today
as the estimated death toll from the
devastating earthquake Wednesday
rose to more than 2,000.
“The 2,000 figure is conservative, ”
said Col. Manuel Angel PonCe, head
of the Emergency Rescue Commit
tee.
“We think it may be higher.
“We are still receiving reports
from the interior of the country.
Many areas are still without com
munication and we just do not know
how serious the damage really is.”
Officials said at least 3,000 were
injured in Guatemala.
The U.S. Embassy reported no
American casualties although it was
the height of the tourist season and
damage in Guatemala City was
heavy.
Relief officials appealed for plas
ma, antibiotics and other medical
supplies. The government also asked
for tents, food, portable electric
generators and earth-moving
equipment to open roads.
The earthquake struck shortly
after 3 a. m. Wednesday across 2,000
miles stretching from Mexico City
south through the heart of
Guatemala and into Honduras and
El Salvador. The epicenter was lo
cated 30 miles southwest of
Guatemala City between the villages
of Siguinla and Iscuintla.
Severe damage but no deaths
were reported in Honduras near the
Guatemalan border. There was less
damage in El Salvador and very
minor damage in some parts of
southern Mexico.
Aid poured into Guatemala City
through the international airport
which remained open. Mexico sent a
delegation of relief specialists and
began an airlift of supplies.
The presidents of El Salvador and
Honduras visited Guatemala City to
coordinate aid from their countries.
The Red Cross in Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, El Salvador and Honduras sent
convoys of trucks and ambulances
with trained disaster teams and relief
supplies. The American Red Cross
sent a disaster specialist to assess
what was needed.
The Guatemalan government de
clared a state of emergency and con
centrated all public services in the
defense department. Warnings were
issued against looting, and a radio
broadcast asked that no more bodies
be brought to the morgue because it
was full.
Col. Ponce said the death toll in
Guatemala City was estimated at
more than 300, but other reports said
it might reach 500 to 600.
The relief committee said the cen
tral areas of the capital, inhabited
mostly by the poor, were hit hardest.
Electrical service was restored to
some areas Wednesday night, but
drinking water for the 1.5 million
residents was scarce.
People used sheets, blankets and
plastic covers to build makeshift
shelters in streets and ball parks.
Such hotels favored by tourists as
the Camino Real, the Ritz Continen
tal and the Conquistador were dam
aged. Guests were evacuated, and
some had to spend the chilly night in
the open.

dents enrolled in a single course,”
O’Connor stud.
Students in A&M’s lirst year
chemistry program use a thick blue
textbook entitled, “Fundamentals of
Chemistry. O’Connor wrote the
first edition of the text while teaching
a class of 2,000 by himself. He also
co-authored the accompanying lab
book and problem-solving manual.
O’Connor has revised his hook
twice and is in the process of revising
it a third time. He spends 20 to 30
hours per week on the project.
O’Connor said that he spent a great
deal of his writing time in the laun
dry room of his house.
“Have you ever tried to write with
the washer and dryer clanging away
and your kids playing choo-choo
train at your feet? O’Connor asked.
Students interested in reading an
original poem written by O’Connor
may turn to page 226 in their texts.
O’Connor said that the poem, that
details the fall of a snowflake, is the
only one he’s ever had published.
“I really don’t like to write,”
O’Connor admitted. He said that he
prefers to interact with students and
enjoys the classroom atmosphere.
To relieve classroom boredom
O’Connor cracks jokes during his
lectures and highlights his expla
nations with class participation ac
tivities. At various times O’Connor
has thrown beach balls, shaving
cream, candy and powder at his stu
dents. He said that quite often they
are thrown back at him.
O’Connor said that he enjoys the
atmosphere at A&M and loves work
ing with the students.
“Texas A&M has the best hunch of
students I ve seen in the country in
terms of numbers willing to work
hard and in terms of pleasant per
sonalities.
