lliff Alliance for Progress,
(ai , h. Ieen very success
fa regardless of what the
p ? t or the United States
says, coiamented tha Director
of Public Information for the
Organization of American
States (OAS).
Miguel Aranguren, who was
on the University campus as
a special lecturer for the par
ticipants of the National De
fense Act summer Spanish In
stitute, further explained that
the American press places too
much emphasis upon the
negative factors in Latin
America poverty, illitera
cy, rebellion and disregards
the positive attitudes.
During a special interview
for the Summer Nebraskan,
Aranguren explained that the
Latin American countries
have interesting cultural back
g r a d s which conld and
should be shared with any!
other country in the world, j
These comments were made
In an attempt to explain the
Alliance for Progress, which
Aranguren defines as a pro
gram in which the United
States and Latin America'
work together to maintain a
regime of peace and justice j
in the American hemisphere
in order to promote the wel
fare of the United States and
Latin American citizens.
Aranguren said that, at j
present, the organization is!
concerned with a great ex
periment to change the econ
omic and social conditions of
Latin America through a dem
ocratic process, while taking
into account the dignity of the
human being, this being the
essense of the Alliance for
Progress. !

An internationally known ;
agricultural educator, Dr.
Marvel L. Baker, is retiring
from the University of Ne
braska after 39 years of serv
ice. The Board of Regents last
week gave the 68-vear-old
agricultural pioneer the title
of professor emeritus of ani-
mal science.
In 1924, Dr. Baker joined
the University of Nebraska as
a staff member of the Curtis
School of Agriculture. As in
structor in animal husbandly,
he coached four winning livestock-judging

tor for two years, said that
under the program each coun
try prepares
its own na
tiona 1 de
v e 1 o pment
)Ian for a
ten -year pe
riod. This
program is to
cover all ac
tivities of na
tional life
and 80 per
cent of the
Arangurea
program must be financed bv
the counUies themselves.
It is at this point that the
United States, other countries
and private citizens step in,
Aranguren said. Ten per cent
of the additional money need
ed for the countries' pro
grams comes from the United
States or other international
lending agencies. The remain
ing 10 per cent comes from
private capital.
It is at this point that the
United States steps in, Aran
guren said, because the U.S.
finances the additional 20 per
cent needed for the total pro
gram. According to Aranguren,
the overall theme of the Alli
ance is that of "self-helD."
Each country is to devise its
own plan for national im-
provemerit, and nlv then will
the. other countries lend a
helping hand.
As Aranguren explained.
each of the Latin American
countries has different prob-
lems, each country has pecu-
aaraies wnich have to be
respected.
For instance, the director
j pointed out that one country
may be advanced in educa
tional or agrarian programs.
If this is the case, then this
country is in a position to aid
a less developed country in
this area, after the country j

was debate coach.
After the stock-market col
lapse, Dr. Baker served until
1941 as an animal husband
man at North Platte Experi-
ment Station. There be direct-
ed the research and herd
management program with
beef and dairy cattle, swine,
sheep, and poultry. - ,

fa 1941, he was moved to
the Lincoln campus as pro-
; charge of beef cattle research
jHe was instrumental in 4e-
research in Nebraska and in
north central region.
His promotion then came
rapidlv. He was named as
sistant -director in 1946 and
associate director in 1955 of
the Agricultural Experiment
Station.
In 1957, after the University
bad signed an agreement to professional and practical
assist Turkey in establishing ; training students,
a sister institution. Dr. Baker - According to an analysis
became the first chief of the prepared by the Foreign Stu

has set up its own program
for improvement.
Equal Footing
Aranguren stated that,
through the Alliance activi
ties, they hope to put all of
the Latin American countries
on ' a, more or less equal foot
ing." "We feel, that the program
comprises a transformation
of economic structures whicn
haven't been changed in any
way for the past 200 years,"
Aranguren said
'In order to accomplish our
ends, we must first see a
drastic social reform of the
masses in order to give them
education and bring them to
gether into a feeling of na
tional life," Aranguren com
mented. lie said that after all of
these factors are put together
and in operation, the ulti
mate step of the Aliance is
the economic integration of
Latin America, a Common
Market similar to Europe's.
He explained that there is,
at present, very little ex
change between the Latin
American countries, with
most of the exchange being
between a single country and
the United States or the
i European countries,
I Aranguren stated that all
Misconception
He made this point in say
ing that many people in the
United States feel that the Al
liance for Progress is part of
i the foreign aid program of
the United States, and that
the government is throwing
away its money to countries
which are enemies of the
United Slates.
He explained that the Latin
American countries have the
best friends that the U.S. has
ever had and that, lor tne
first time, the United States
Foreign Student Number
Has Increased Every Year
By ANN SHUMAN
The number of foreign stu-
'dens enrolled at the Univer-
Slt' of Nebraska increases
'very year, although the only
publicity which draws Ihese
students to Nebraska. is a few
! catalogues in libraries of oth-
j C0I?ntTies and the ncour.
f fpi fl h h
The increase is slight, said
Rowena B. Boykin, Assistant
Foreign Student Advixer, but
nevertheless the foreign stu
dent program at the Univer
sity is growing.
During the econd semester
f ioks fi.reien students num
bered 243. Of these, 104 were
undergraduate students and
us were graduate students.
The remaining were advanced
dents were from the Far East
! with India and Iran sending
jthe majority. Fourty-seven
! countries were represented at
the University.
I No matter what his coun-
try the foreign student must
! work through a maze of de-
; tails.
High School Completed
Before applying to the Uni
versity, the prospective appli
i cant must have progressed in
ihis education to a level
equivalent, to that of high
school in the United States.
The undergraduate must
take the College Entrance Ex
aminations and an English
proficiency exam adminis
tered in his 'home country.
A student applying for ad
mission to a Graduate Col-
lege is required to send two ,
or three letters of recommen
dation, take an English exam
and, as of February, 1964,
will toe requiMd to take a
graduate record examination.
This exam will include .an
apitude test and a test .cov-
tering the students m a jj o r
field 'Of study.
Both the undergraduate and
graduate students most certi
fy that be will have sufficient
funds for attendance. The Uni
versity is not in a position to
offer 'financial assistance ex
cept to a very small number
of foreign students wh are
able to qualify for appoint
ment as research assistants,
according to Evelyn D. Ripa,
assistant to the dean of Gradu
ate College Admissions.
The University has a policy
is participating as a partner
in a program, not just as a
benevolent benefactor.
Aranguren again empha
sized that the basis of the
program is self-help within
national boundaries and that
from there on the countries
receive assistance in form of
loans from the United States.
He explained the United
States' part as "a cooperative
effort with the Latin Ameri
can governments and peoples
to get out of the stagnant po-
; sitions they're facing at the
present time."
Aranguren further ex-
plained that if the program is
successful upon its comple
tion, any alien phUosophy or
system will be defied for all
of the Latin American people,
for they are basically demo
cratic. In explaining further,
Aranguren said that Democ
racy is the best answer to
any of the alien political phi
losophies. The Alliance spokesman de
fined the major problems in
Latin America as illiteracy,
education and rural.
Face Problems
. He said that 80 million peo
ple in the Latin American
countries are illiterate. 25
million children face a lack
of education and that the
rural masses lack modern
conveniences.
He added that Latin Ameri
can, as an area, requires bet
ter means of transportation
and communication in order
to defeat geography jungles,
swamps, mountains, wide riv
ers. ,
In addition, he explained
that parts of every Latin
American country lack fertile
soil for agricultural purpose,
leaving a majority of the land
on the continent not suitable
for farming.
of not appointing a student to
a teaching assistantship dur
ing the first year of graduate
study if he comes .from a
country where Lie national
language is mot English.
Foreign, students .TCready on
the campus may V&e. able to
get fellowships or assistant
ships, Miss Ripa said, but no
scholarship assistance is
available to the new under
graduate foreign student
Scholarship Application
A pamphlet published by
the University states however,
that those who have attended
the University for at least a
year and whose grade aver
age is 5 or higher are eligible
to apply for one of the ten
Regent's Undergraduate fFor
eign Student Scholarships cov-;
ering full tuition and fees for

When the student has been
accepted by the University,,
the Foreign Student Office re-:
ceives his name and address
and writes a welcome letter
greeting the new student and
telling how many other stu-'
dents from the same .country
are attending the University.'
Included with the letter is
!the brochure "Information

plaining the organization of

Aranguren pointed out that
Latin America faces a great
population problem. Bv the
end of the century, he said,
mere will be 500 million Latin
Americans, as compared with
350 Amer i c a n s - Canadians 1
combined. "For this reason,
it is easy to see that we, in
Latin America, will have more
mouths to feed, more jobs to
find, more schools and hos
pitals to furnish our people."
"These problems will have
to be solved by the Alliance
foi Progres s," Aranguren
! said.
j The Alliance, according to
Aranguren, is not a "crash"
program, but is one whjch
has followed a path or regular
evolution which began with
the first inter-A merican
dreams 73 years ago.
Know Direction
However, Aranguren said,
"For the first time, we know
what we're doing and in
which direction we're march
ing." In answer to a question
concerning the Alliance's re
lationships with the Cuban
government, Aranguren said:
'"At the present time, the
government of Cuba, because
of its Marxist, Leninist lean
ings, has been excluded from
all activities within the inter
American system."
"The inter-American demo
cratic system is incompatible
with the Cuban system of
government; therefore, Cuba
is not included in the Organ
isation of American States."
Aranguren then concluded:
lt is our hope that this ex
periment (Alliance for Prog
ress will be successful, and
that Democracy will be pre
served, maintained and devel
oped in all of the nations
south of the border.
If the foreign student in
forms someone of bis arrival
time, arrangements are made
to meet Mm through People
to People PTP') or through
the Foreign Student Office.
Either FTP or the office then
helps the student with bousing
arrangements.
When the incoming student
is interviewed by one of the
foreign student advisers,
(either Leslie F. Sheffield or
Rowena Boykin') he is given
the opportunity to fill out a
card requesting a Host Family
if he wants one. The Host
Family Committee ""hopes to
find every foreign student who
desires to meet and know an
American family the oppor
tunity to do so," according
to the Host Family introduc
tion letter. The Host Family
agrees to offer in turn in
formal hospitality to one or
more of the foreign students.
Common Interests
In assigning students to
families, the committee tries
to relate common interests to
benefit both the student and
family.
In conjunction with the Host
Family program is the Inter-'
national Newsletter published
monthly. The Newsletters
gives information about the
students and their activities
on campus as well as news
about the Host Family activi
ties. When the s c h o o 1 term
actually starts, the foreign!
undergraduate students are'
given the same information
that Junior Division Ameri
can students receive. The stu
dents are asked to participate
in New Student Week and the
University tries to have a
special Foreign Student Ori
entation to give essential in-,
formation concerning Univer-:
