Dr. Fred R. Glahe, the president
of the Economic Institute for Re-
;earch and Education, Saturday will
peak on worldwide economic prog
ress,
“I want to discuss the rapid in-
rease of material wealth in some
parts of the world and what is stop
ping that increase in other parts of
,,the world,” he said Thursday from
his home in Boulder, Colo.
A professor pf economics at the
University of Colorado in Boulder
since 1965, Glahe has written and
edited several books on economics,
including “Macroeconomics: Theory
and Policy” and has had articles pub
lished in journals and newspapers.
He is a member of the American
Economics Association and holds a
master’s degree and a doctorate in
economics from Purdue University.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in
aeronautical engineering also from
Purdue.
The 46-year-old professor said he
is looking forward to coming to Texas
A&M University and speaking at
SCONA as well as seeing a few old
friends on the side.
Glahe’s speech will be the closing
presentation Saturday at 11 a.m. in
room 224 of the MSC.
A Berkeley professor of energy
and resources, Dr. John P. Holdren,
Thursday will discuss the allocation
of energy between the Third World
and the West.
One of six featured speakers, Hol
dren brings to SCONA an extensive
background in the field of energy,
said David Givens, SCONA vice
chairman in charge of speaker
arrangements.
He served on the Energy Re
search Advisory Board, U.S. De
partment of Energy, from 1978 to
1979. Currently, the Berkeley pro
fessor is treasurer of the Council of
the Federation of American Scien
tists and serves on the National
Energy Policy Committee of the
Sierra Club.
At Berkeley, Holdren is also prin
cipal investigator in the energy and
environment division of the Lawr
ence Berkeley Laboratory and facufr
ty consultant in the magnetic fusion
energy division of the Lawrence
Livermore Laboratory.
He hold bachelor’s and master’s
degrees in engineering from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technolo
gy and a doctorate in plasma physics
from Stanford University. And in
1975, the University of Puget Sound
awarded Holdren an honorary docto
rate in science.
For his extensive efforts on behalf
of quality control and responsible
peer review in environmental com
parisons of energy resources, Hol
dren received the Federation of
American Scientists’ Public Service
Award in 1979.
Other accomplishments include
co-authouring three books on energy
and ecology and having published
some 50 articles and chapters on
plasma physics, energy technology
and policy, environmental problems
and popualtion.
Holdren’s speech titled “The Use
of World Resources’’ will begin at 2
p.m. Thursday in Rudder Theater.
in Transition’
Peter Ba uer Douglas Bennet
Professor Peter T. Bauer, an inter
nationally known proponent of the
free market approach to world de
velopment will speak at SCONA on
Friday.
Bauer is chairman of the Depart
ment of Economics at the London
School of Economics and Political
Science at London University, one of
the top economic schools in the
world.
He has done special research in
economic development of Third
World countries and is especially
known for his antipathy toward cen
tralized planning, which is any kind
of government intervention in the
market place.
Bauer holds that the results of
foreign aid policies are counter
productive to their intended pur
poses. In other words, he thinks
countries will develop best without
external monetary aid, said John
Nash, assistant professor in the De
partment of Economics at Texas
A&M University.
An example of this unnecessary
government intervention can be
seen in African marketing boards,
which try to stabilize prices produc
ers receive, but which actually de
presses prices of small producers,
Nash said.
Bauer is a Fellow of Gonville and
Caius College in Cambridge and a
Fellow of the British Academy.
His publications include “The
Rubber Industry,” “West African
Trade, ” “Indian Economic Develop
ment and Policy,” and his most re
cent, “Dissent on Development. ’’
Harvard will publish “Equality,
the Third World and Economic De
lusion” in the spring of 1981.
Bauer will debate Douglas J. Ben
net Jr., administrator for the Agency
for International Development on
“Trade Versus Aid — The Develop
ment of the Third World,” at 10 a.m.
Friday in Rudder Theater.
Dr. Douglas J. Bennet, former
administrator of the United States
Agency for International Develop
ment, will favor federal aid in a SCO
NA debate Friday.
Bennet was with AID from 1979
until President Reagan’s inaugura
tion. AID is designed to help people
of third world countries develop
their economic and human re
sources.
Bennet was responsible for im
plementing the agency’s human
rights policies in the countries that
AID assists. Bennet also helped de
termine certain countries’ need for
foreign aid and helped formulate
programs for the eligible ones.
David Givens, vice chairman for
SCONA’s speaker arrangements,
said Bennet was highly recom
mended by several Texas A&M Uni
versity faculty members. Bennet is
interested, knowledgable and ex
perienced in the debate topic, he
said.
“He’s fairly outspoken,” Givens
said. “The debate will be one of the
highlights.”
Bennet’s opponent in the debate
will be Dr. Peter T. Bauer, chairman
of the Department of Economics at
the London School of Economics
and Political Science.
Givens said Bennet had been in
terested in SCONA before, but this
the first time he has been able to
participate.
Bennet is also former staff director
of the Senate Budget Committee,
former assistant secretary of state for
congressional relations, and former
aide to the late Hubert Humphrey
(D-Mo.).
He has been described by the
Washington Post as popular on
Capital Hill and as “playing an in
strumental role in many foreign pol
icy successes in Congress.”
The debate entitled “Trade vs.
Aid: Development of Third World
Countries,” will be held at 10:00
a.m. in Rudder Theater.
