Mexico Booming Expert Declares
The most striking phenomenon in Mexico today is her tremendous rate of growth. Dr. James G. Maddox, visiting American Universities Field Staff expert on Mexico, said Wednesday in an interview.
Dr. Maddox attributed Mexico's rapid economic expansion to the continuing effects of the Mexican revolution of 1910.
The revolution brought a reform, the rise of a labor movement, and restrictions on the power of the church, Dr. Maddox said.
Mexico is expanding its national production at a rate of three per cent a person each year, he said, nearly double the expansion rate of the United States.

Benefits. But Problems
The revolution brought a land $ ^{c} $
With economic expansion has come a population boom, which has created problems as well as benefits, he said. Only 50 per cent of Mexican children can go to school because facilities and teachers are lacking, Dr. Maddox said.
Mexico has few universities, although the fees are very low, he said. The University of Mexico City, a federal university, charges 200 pesos (about $16) for a school year, Dr. Maddox added.
Since 1940, Mexico has been in the midst of an extended boom, and is growing rapidly in technology and production, Dr. Maddox said.
Mexico is self-sufficient in wheat production, he said, and exports much of her cotton crop to the United States.
Manufacturing Now
Mexico remains a tourist attraction despite the growing industrialization, with tourist trade in 1956 bringing about $489 million dollars into Mexico, he said.
Nearly all of Mexico's industry is financed by Mexican private enterprise, Dr. Maddox said, with only 10 or 15 per cent financed by foreign interests.
Pride Since Revolution
Since the revolution, Mexicans have developed a pride in their country and a form of nationalism, he said.
They do not like to accept foreign aid, and have created Mexico's growth largely by themselves, Dr. Maddox said.
However, there is a small Point Four program for industrial and management training in Mexico, Dr. Maddox added.

Dean Kenneth E. Anderson of the School of Education said the requirement of 48 semester hours ranks as one of the highest in the Midwest if not in the entire United States.
Students choosing this program will not be required to complete a minor teaching area since they will be qualified to teach English along with either speech or journalism.
55th Year, No. 101
The program, called "The Language Arts Concentration," will consist of a minimum of 48 semester hours of training in the Language Arts. A student may choose one of four options in which a major portion of his work will be done.
The first option is English. It will consist of 40 semester hours of English and 8 hours of speech. Each of the other three options will consist of 24 semester hours of English with the remaining 24 hours devoted to specialization in theater and drama, public speaking, or journalism.
Runners-up in the six offices, who will automatically be Senate members are Kala Mays, Lyons junior; Gretchen Griswold, Silver City, N. M. sophomore; Diane Hoisington, Paradise freshman; Pat Dawson, Emporia sophomore; treasurer; Elinor Hadley, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore; and Judy Heller, Pittsburgh junior

The schedule:
Building Pace Decreases
Cold weather has slowed progress on the J. R. Pearson dormitory and the Stouffer Place additions.
J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, said Monday that the past few weeks of winter weather have made it impossible to pour concrete. As a result, the construction is behind schedule. The Pearson dormitory is expected to be completed by February 1959. Mr. Wilson said.
Mr. Wilson said that he did not think that fraternities or private landlords would suffer because of the extensive dormitory building program at KU.
"We feel that in the future, despite an increased building program and increased enrollment, we'll only be able to take care of the same percentage of students as we now are taking care of," he added.
"Assuming that the figures prepared by the dean of the University and the chancellor's office are correct in predicting increased enrollments, we will need all the help possible from Lawrence residents in the married student end off-campus housing."
'The Game Of Love Next Film Offering
The picture, which won the Grand Prix du Cinema Français—the "French Oscar"—tells the story of a 16-year-old boy who learns about love from an older woman and then teaches what he's learned to a 15-year-old girl.
The KU Film Series will present "The Game Of Love," a French film with English sub-titles, at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Hoch Auditorium.
- Ernest T. Stewart, Washington, D.C., executive director of the American Alumni Council, will be the luncheon speaker.
The morning session will be a discussion of the present status and the opportunities ahead for KU and the relationship of the Endowment Assn., Alumni Assn. and Greater University Fund to these developments.
A panel will discuss the significant steps in American higher education and research and KU's relationship to these developments. Chancellor Murphy will be moderator.
Panelists will be Francis Heller, associate dean of the College; Deans John S. McNown, of the School of Engineering and Architecture, M. C. Slough, of the School of Law, and W. Clarke Wescoe, of the School of Medicine; Robert Vosper, director of libraries; C. Bailey Price, chairman of the department of mathematics; and Phillip Mitchell, associate professor of Scandinavian literature.
"The American university is central to the manner in which the American people will exploit their opportunities to expand the national economy and exert leadership in international affairs." Dr. Murphy said, "So that we do not fail here at KU to become a significant part of the main stream of dramatic change, we wish to share our thoughts with and in turn receive the counsel of the University's lay leaders.
"The University has the appropriate footings and foundations so that a major effort now will guarantee that KU will take its place as a major force in advanced teaching and research in the United States."
Rocket Failed In Last Stage
PASADENA, Calif. — (UP) — Failure of the last stage high-speed rock-jet apparently caused America's Explorer II to go awry after reaching orbital altitude, the California Institute of Technology's jet propulsion laboratory said today.
A statement from the laboratory said: "The preliminary evidence is that the last stage did not produce any thrust. This means it did not get up to velocity, and there is a great probability that it (the satellite) is not in orbit."
It was pointed out that lack of the final stage thrust would keep the satellite package from achieving 18,000 mile an hour orbital speed, thus causing it to re-enter the earth's atmosphere where it would either burn itself out or fall into the ocean.
Linguistics Talk Friday
Prof. Harold Whitehall, chairman of the linguistics department at Indiana University, will lecture on "From Linguistics to Poetry" at 4 p.m. Friday in Bailey Auditorium.
