Argentina Schools Give Few Electives
There are few elective college courses in Argentina, a panel of three Argentine students told the International. Club.
The Argentine colleges are divided into faculties instead of schools and there are six faculties in a college: The faculties of law, medicine, engineering, philosophy, humanities, and language. The students must major in one of these faculties.
The different faculties offer no elective courses in other fields. If a student decides to change his major, he must start at the beginning in another faculty.
A tutor may be employed by the student or he may go to an academy to increase his general knowledge.
"NOW IT IS CHANGING, a student can choose some elective courses in the University of Buenos Aires." Eduardo Eichberg, Buenos Aires exchange student said Friday.
Miss Dalla Costa said the general or liberal education that Americans receive in college is received by the Argentine students in high school. The high school is divided into two parts.
Leonor Dalla Costa, Cordoba exchange student said:
"STUDENTS HAVE never taken elective courses so they do not miss them. They take courses in the career they want. If they do not like the career they have chosen they quit and take another career."
The students take liberal and basic courses the first three years. Students planning to go to college take courses which will prepare them for college.

THE PANEL SAID the colleges are supported by the state. There are no expenses except living expenses and books.
Very poor students may now receive scholarships or obtain jobs from professors in the different faculties. The University of Buenos Aires has 2000 scholarships.
The university's curriculum is decided by a council. This council consists of five undergraduate students, five graduate students, nine professors, and ten deans of the schools.
Frondizi Chosen 'Man-of-Week' By Wire Service
By United Press International The man-of-the-week: Dr. Arturo Frondizi, president of Argentina.
Frondizi, president of Argentina. The place: Buenos Aires.
The quote: "I appeal to the verdict of the Argentine people and of God to fulfill my mandate to the end."
Crisis was not new to the government of Arturo Frondizi which since it took office in May, 1958, had been the target of Peronista or Communist-led strikes, terror bombings and plots to overthrow it.
This week dissatisfied army generals were at Frondi's throat again.
Frondizi went on the radio to proclaim:
"I will accept suggestions, but not demands. I shall not resign. I shall remain at my post."
--of the decoration must be submitted to the Alumni Office, 127 Strong, by 5 p.m., Oct. 28.
Frondizi's troubles were at least four-fold:
Although outlawed as political parties, the Communists and followers of former Dictator Juan Peron nonetheless retained a stranglehold on some of Argentina's biggest labor unions.
The armed services accused him of being too soft on the Peronistas.
—There was opposition to his program encouraging foreign investment.
—Argentine voters chafed under his economic austerity program.
He had accepted Communist aid to win the election. The United States viewed him with frank suspicion.
Frondizi was Argentina's first freely elected president in 20 years when he took office in May, 1958.
In the treasury there was not even enough money to pay Argentina's most pressing bills.
And Frondizi was regarded as a dreamer without the iron will necessary to restore order amid the chaos left by Peron.
Although rich in natural resources, Argentina had been spending more than $200 million a year on oil imports alone.
But the doubters had under-rated Frondizi.
Over bitter protests of Argentine Nationalists and the labor unions, he negotiated foreign help to develop Argentine oil fields. He trimmed more than 100,000 workers from the federal payrolls and instituted an austerity program all the more shocking since it followed the freespending, inflationary days of Petron.
--of the decoration must be submitted to the Alumni Office, 127 Strong, by 5 p.m., Oct. 28.
As Frondizi went to work, the U.S. attitude changed. Mammoth U.S. loans helped to stabilize the economy. Oil and natural gas began to flow from Argentine fields. A steel mill went up.
This year the government freed the peso, allowing it to find its natural level among world currencies. The budget came close to balance.
In the fight to stem Communist infiltration of the western hemisphere, Argentina joined enthusiastically with the United States.
There was no end of crises in sight for Argentina, but it was to be hoped that Frondizi would weather them.
