South Of The Border On September 26th the boys of Foster Hall met and elected class representatives and parliamentarian to serve on the dorm council with officers elected last year. The following were elected: Senior Representatives Tuck Hubbard and Curt Smith Dr. Myra Yancey, language instructor, recently received a very informative letter from a former Spanish major and Junior Representatives Mike Hogben and member of Sigma Pi Alpha, Mrs. Myrtle L. (Billie) TIahn Dushaw. Billie has been living in Venezuela for the past six years. She taught Spanish and was supervisor of the Spanish teachers in the American schools in Maracaibo until she married Mr. Dushaw, an oil geologist. Her letter contained many enlightening remarks concerning the life in this Latin American country and its relations with the United States. UjS. Election Has Great Effect After the 1960 election of John F. Kennedy as President of the United States, it became apparent that Latin American literature was circulawould no longer be neglected. Pro-U.ted everywhere. The appointment of Ambassador Moscoso of Puerto Rico served as a tremendous asset to the United States. By sending a fellow Latin American as ambassador, the government greatly improved personal as well as political relations. The local papers in Venezuela have completely eliminated all pictures of extravagant embassy tea and cocktail parties. They have been replaced by photographs of Senor Moscoso and his wife among native Venezuelans at some worthy international function. Billie says that previously there has been almost a complete absence of Venezulans in attendance at ambassy functions. The North American Association has been revised. This association required all North Americans in Venezuela to participate in a program of helping the Venezuelans help themselves. Each North American serves six months on a committee which carries out various activities. In a small community, such as the one where Billie lives, this has resultactivities, such as distribed in a series of Peace Oorps-lik- e uting corn and planting instructions to the local farmers. The results have been overwhelming. Billie was a member of a committee which visited pediatric clinics distributing toys, books, and entertainment to the children. She explained that although many of these activities are good, some of them are unappreciated. The wealthy Venezuelans, as a rule, do very little to help their countrymen and look upon the North Americans as being rather stupid for giving so many things away. Suggestions Offered for Improving Prestige As a suggestion for improving U.S. prestige throughout the world, Billie said, After living in Venezuela for six years, I feel that the best thing the U.S. government could do would be to require citizens seeking a passport to fulfill certain requirements. I feel that tourists should not go to a country until they have at least a basic understanding of the language, customs, history, and geography of the area. She explainec that American tourists and workers tear down the prestige of their country by ridiculing the ways of foreign people due to their lack of knowledge of these things. As an example, she cited how many of the oil workers in her area are Texans, Oklahomans, Louisianans, etc. and have come with definite racial prejudice against Mexicans, Indians, and Negroes. Perhaps Westminster College language students Can help as Billie Dushaw is doing. The study of languages and customs is a great step in this direction. S. Gary Williams Sophomore Representatives ....
