SUMMER NEBRASKAN Russell Fitzgibbon Visiting Political Science Writes Book On Uruguay By BARBARA CLARK Assistant Editor Russell H. Fitzgibbon, visiting instructor in the department of political science at the Univer sity, might well be considered an authority on Latin America judging from his many trips to South America and from his re cently published book, "Uru guay, Portrait of a Democracy " Fitzgibbon's book has been de scribed as an informal suney of the "Switzerland of South America," and provides the-f'rst complete general survey of Uru guay. The country, a conscious and . intelligent exponent of democracy, has been largely overlooked, perhaps because of her location between the much larger and stronger countries of Argentina and Brazil. AS AN instructor in the po litical science department at the Los Angeles campus of the Uni versity of California, much of Fitzgibbons' work deals with Latin American policies, govern ment and international relations. The University of California stresses the position of the Latin American neighbors in geog raphy, history, political science and Spanish courses. The Hoosier State is Fitzgib bon's home and he did his un dergraduate work at Hanover College in southern Indiana. He received his Master of Arts De gree from the University of Jn diana and his Doctor's Degree from the University of Wiscon sin. FITZGIBBON has spent much time in Latin America.
