Prof Tells of Venezuelan Protest

Most Venezuelan college students object to the recent military coup that overthrew Chilean President Salvador Allende. Among them are foreign internets, a professor of education.
Barrientes returned recently to the University of Kansas from Barquimistes, Venezuela, where he was the only professor to represent an American university at the Organization of American States (OAS) educational administration seminar.
Barrientos said that while the seminar was in session students at the nearby pedagogical Institute of Barquindoismo demonstrated against the Chilean junta.
THE STUDENTS look over one Institute building for several days following the military coup in an effort to prevent the Venezuelan government from recognizing them.
The Venezuelan government eventually recognized the newly-established Chilean
Latin American societies "They think the military caste of society can be blamed for a large part of Latin America's troubles," he said.
regime.
Buenos Aires and Venezuela students' disaffection with the Chilean situation was due to the anti-militaristic attitude of Latin American students.
Venezuelan studenter, Barriones said, are also suspicious that the Caracas teachers have never since last year.
THE ANTI-AMERICAN feeling caused Barrientes to worry about the success of the educational seminar, 'particularly because we have OAS association with U.S. interests.'
year's ITT affair exposed U.S. intervention in Latin American politics.
Barrientes said student leaders did not disturb the seminar. They realized the participants were trying to solve problems in Latin American education not to create them.
According to Barrients, those problems are massive. The Latin American population has doubled every ten years, he said, while the gross national product increased only 10 per cent each year. At that rate, Latin America will never have enough
One prevalent misconception in both Latin America and the United States, he said, is the idea that the responsibility for education rests entirely with educators.
Barrientos said unless the entire society began to take responsibility for education, he would have made it a priority.
"There are ways other than schools to educate," he said. "How about involving students?"

Navy Changes Cadet Hair Policy
By BILL WILLETS
Barrientos, a native of Guatemala, said the seminar included representatives from the OAS and Ministry of Education from every country in Latin America.
THE NEW DIRECTIVE modified another directive, which was to have been implemented at the beginning of this semester.
Kansan Staff Reporter
It is generally assumed in military circles that a waste of time to question the orders
However, such questioning of tactics has apparently resulted in the revision of a naval directive that sets grooming standards for Navy ROTC cadets at the University of Kansas and at other college museums.
According to Cmdr. Cecil Jones, associate professor of Navy ROTC, a letter was received Monday from the national ROTC headquarters that said ROTC cadets must conform to the same grooming standards as Navy personnel on active duty.
the first directive, which encountered a great deal of opposition among cadets on
campus, said cadets would comply with Naval Academy grooming standards.
Fleet regulations (active duty Navy) allow neatly trimmed beards and mustaches and moderately long hair. Academy regulations prohibit beards.
"IT NOW APPEARS that there has been a change of mind at headquarters," Jones said.
Jones said the new directive had been received Monday from the Chief of Naval Training and Education in Peninsula, Fla. He passed along to the cadets immediately.
"I'm guessing someone said we were not gaining as much by the new regulation as we were losing," Jones said, "but this is pure speculation on my part."
Jones said he thought either regulation would have been workable, but in his opinion the situation that existed before the initial change was preferable.
"I don't feel the peer pressure they do."
He said that he thought his opinion wasn't of great importance, however, because of the difference in age between himself and ROTC cadets.
JONES SAID IT was unusual for naval
companies to vacillate as it had on the
coast.
An ROTC cadet who preferred not to be identified said he thought the decision had been prompted by a large number of complaints.
It was unusual, Barrientos said, for a university professor to be invited to join the administrative officials at the seminar, "because they don't turt us."
Barrientos said he thought that he had been chosen to participate because his published writings in Spanish were well known in Latin America and because he had spent two years traveling in South America as an OAS consultant.
"UNLike AMERICANS, who prize informal, chatty guys who aren't necessarily good speakers. Latines like good speeches in flawless Spanish."
Because of his established reputation in Latin American educational circles and his ability to speak Spanish fluently, Buriteros from the region will participate in the Barquisimeto seminar.
