signed to provide an expres
sion of American concern
and to work wi'Ji local prob
lems in the world's under
developed areas.
Participants discussed
government sponsored pro

offered by Rep. Henry Re
ass (Dem.-Wisconsin), and
Sen. Hubert Humphrey
(Denx-Minaesota), both of
whkh have been endorsed

Floyd Hoover, Registrar.

However, since the war the
government prompted many
military veterans to further
their education and provided
funds for them to attend col
lege. Many of these veterans
were married and started the
big movement to the college
campuses, she said.
Now Accepted
Now the major reason for
the increase is that the stu
dent body is now accepting
the married students as a
part of the University, Mrs.
Gisgles said. In turn, the
married students are partici
pating in more activities and
are closer friends to the

The play itself is a giant

Streetcar Named Desire." 'Streetcar" will
run Dec. 14-17.
In the play, Blanche Du
Boss, a young woman bred
on a rich plantation gone to
seed, arrives in the French
quarter of New Orleans to
stay with her sister and her
rough-hewn Polish brother-in-law.
Stanley Kowalski.
Blanche lives in a world of
the past and seems unable to
face reality in the sordid sur
roundings. Stanley unravels
details of her former life, and
torments her until she is fi
nally committed to an asy
lum. The whole play is bailt
arMnd the conflicting views
of life held by Stanley and
Blanche.
"We hope many people will
come to see the play," Wfl-
I liams stated. "It's interesting
and exciting and after alL

Honorary Colonel
.Pearl Swansea, now Mrs.
Joseph Noh of Sioux City,
Iowa, was the first Honorary
Colonel in 1922.
This title continued until
1949 when, due to the open

changed to Honorary Com

Dr. Cosio Revolt Dead,
Why No Death Notice?
'The Mexican Revolution
is dead, so why hasn't the
death notice been circulat
ed?" asked Mexico's leading
intellectual, Dr. Daniel
Cosio Villegas in the first
of this year's Montgomery
lectures.
Dr. Cosio said that the rev
olution gave Mexico her ide
ology and language and that
"so long as no new ideas
are evolved, it will be nec
essary to continue witn me
old."
Unknown Evil
It is commonly thought to
be "better to endure a known
evil rather than to experi
ment with an unknown good,
he noted.
He indicated, however,
that he did not believe that
Mexico's political, social and
economic situation was infe
rior to the best found in any
Latin American country to
day.
The noted educator said
that Chile, Uruguay and Cos
ta Rica have a potential for
real and stable democracy
which is limited by their
scarcity of physical and hu
man resources.
"Argentina vi'J take years
to recover Zrom the physical
and moral damage? inflicted
by the Pera dictatorship,
and Brazil, with physical and
hu:r.an elements far superior
to Mexico's, has not
progressed as was expected
of her," he added.
Black Cloud
But, he noted, there is a
black cloud on the horizon
that few Mexicans and for
eigners have noticed until
now.

in the destruction of the past
rather than the construction

development became the
same as carrying the country
back to the exact point of

Why did the revolution pro

State Prisoner.
"In the sphere of economic
action, the authority and
force of the State have degen
erated to the point where the
state is the prisoner of pri
vate enterprise.
"If it wanted to fight, the
government would win, even
using only legal means. But
the government does not
want to fight nor even to dis
agree with private enter
prise," he said.
"It is already remarkable
that a considerable increase
in the number and magnitude
of public needs has not been
matched by a change in tax
rates or by the creation of
new taxes," Cosio stated.
He explained that 60 per
cent of industrial investment
to date comes from private
sources.
Inflation Restriction
"Because the State has
been unsuccessful in restrict
ing inflation, the real wages
of the labor force have notice
ably diminished, and it is
the workers who, ultimately,
are paying for the industrial
progress of Mexico," he said.
Dr. Cosio, who is economic
adviser to the Mexican Sec
retary of Treasury and to the
National Bank of Mexico, al
so noted that economic influ
ence has begun to creep into
political influence, so much
so that "the State today
would have difficulty in tak
ing fundamental economic
policy measures without first
consulting the country's great
banking and industrial
i firms.
"It is difficult to give an
opinion on whether Mexico

iginal objectives of the Rev-
' olution." he said.
principal points toward
the country should direct it
self.
"It may be that the real di
lemma for Mexico lies in
growing faster at the top
only, or at a slower rate only
at the bottom of the social
pyramid," he concluded.
