"Although students at key universities in Latin Amer ica don't have a large nunf ber of good books available, they can always get them from communist par ty agitators who have infil trated student bodies," said Dr. Arturo Morales-Carrion. The deputy secretary of the state department on La tin American affairs said he was "shocked to see the extent to which communist and Red Chinese books had flooded the Latin American book market."

Old MacDonald's barnyard scene is the newest attraction at the Uni versity of Nebraska's State Museum. The display consists of twenty-one skeletons of modern-day domesticated and small, wild animals and birds which could be found on any typical farm in the United States. The 45-foot long "farm" was made possible through a grant to tha Uni- cy only 35 years, said Dr. Morales, . And it is the Alliance for Progress that can act as a revolution to encourage and guide Latin America to become a strong partner in the free world, said Dr. Morales. Population Increase ; "la spite of its mortality rate of one for each ten born, Latin America is in creasing more rapidly in population than any other area of the world. "By 1970 its population will total 600 million twice that of the United States at that time," said Dr. Morales.

There are seventf en counsel ors and four assistants work ing under Kuzelka now. "Basically the counselor acts as the Administration's representative among the stu dents," said Kizelka. "His prime function is to knew the men in his area and carry this knowledge into dealings with the Administration." "The counselor is in a touchy position," noted Kuzel f V the Ai?iance for Progress that the inevitable revolu tion in South America will not be Communist inspired, but will develop within the democratic tradition of the new world," said the for mer Puerto Rican secretary of state. "The Alliance is not a give-away program to La tin America, or a money lending project to our southern neighbors," he emphasized. "For 80 per cent of the $100 billion to be spent under the program in the next 10 years will come from Latin America itself." Long-Term Loans The major portion of the funds from the U.S. are in the form of long-term de velopment loans for high The Daily Nebraskan ka. "He is responsible for the morale of the residents and at the same time respon sible to the Administration." Kuzelka pointed out that in the field of discipline, one of his principle functions, "any discipline must be construc tive." Discipline is most ef fective when self imposed," said Kuzelka, "so we have tried to have at least the mi nor problems taken care of by the students themselves. "The disciplinary board is one step in this direction."

'' "U.S. money, and some from Western Europe and Japan, will increase capi tal formation, stabilize prices and help institute land and tax reforms," he added. Pointing to goals for La tin America by 1970 as out lined at this March's San tiago conference on educa tion and economic and so cial development, Dr. Mor ales said that first priority had been gives to primacy education. "Although today's rate of illiteracy in South America exceeds 50 per 'cent," add ed Dr. Morales, "it is hoped that by 1970 all chil dren in Latin America will grant-in-aid athletic scholar ships. ' Recently it was also an nounced that the 8000 block of SeUeck Quadrangle would be used to house coeds to help ease the present hous ing problems. Frank Hallgren, associate dean of Student Affairs point ed out that although space has been reserved for fresh men athletes on the grant-in-aid scholarships, this is the first year that they are to Uve together in one area. Athletes' Rooms "NormaUy we reserve room for 'about 75 athletes," HaU gren added. This ctoud Dlan which wifl effect mostly footbaU players was suggested by tne ieDras ka footbaU staff and "stems from the fact that we had an athletic dorm at Wyom ing," commented assistant coach Mike Corigan. "We want to keep the fresh men together in a closely knit group," Corigan contin ued, "so we can keep in bet ter touch with them." The coaches plan to keep in personal contact with the Stohs Receives Graduate Grant Sidney John Stohs has ac cepted a Mortar Board Fel lowship worth 150 for use for graduate study during the 1962-63 school year.

"With the players in a group like this, it win be easy to get notices and spe cial announcements to them," commented Corigan. "It worked very weH at Wyom ing." On the desirability of an athletic dorm at Nebraska, Corigan said that right now the upperclassmen are perman ently settled for the most part, so that it wouldn't be wise to try to set up a spe cial dorm at present. "It's hard to teU at the moment if there is a possibil ity for such an extensive plaa," said Corigan. "It de pends a little on how things work out with this freshman plan, which itself has been set up on a trial basis."
