'Alliance Is Dead'
Alba Sounds Project Knell
The Alliance for Progress is dead, a victim of wily Latin American governments and U.S. naivete, according to Victor Alba, visiting lecturer in political science and author of the book, "Alliance Without Allies; the Failure of the Alliance for Progress."
He spoke at an SUA Current Events Forum yesterday as part of the U.S. in World Affairs Week activities. The other speaker was Robert Tomasek, associate professor of political science.
ALBA SAID the Alliance failed because it attempted "to work social reform through governments which are historically against social reform; to reform elements within the Latin American societies which the governments themselves represent."
societies which the government Alba, who is a naturalized citizen of Mexico and has taught in Costa Rica, characterized Latin American society as tri-level.
in Costa Rica, characterize the country. The oligarchy or ruling minority, which represents one-to-five per cent of the population, varying from country to country, accounts for 30 per cent of total food consumption.
- The informed middle class—professional people and students who represent five to 45 per cent of the population and consume 50 per cent of total food production.
- The peasants who represent 50 to 90 per cent of the population and consume only 20 per cent of total food production.

Manet Art Not Alone
Stephane Mallarme and the artists of his circle may dominate the main gallery of the KU Museum of Art, but the second floor and basement contain other treasures.
On the second floor, two new faculty members are exhibiting their paintings and lithographs, and in the basement is a collection of Dale Eldred's landscape sculptures.
In Mallarme's show an Edouard Manet portrait of the French poet occupies the central panel. The 1873 painting was loaned by the Musee du Louvre, Paris, and the quality makes it priceless.
ACCOMPANYING the famous French painting are many art pieces sent by The Art Institute of Chicago; The Baltimore Museum of Art; The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University; The Library of Congress; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Minneapolis Institute of Arts; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The University of Chicago Library.
Included are also works by famous figures of the 19th century, such as Manet, Monet, Remoir, Morisot, Gauguin, Rodin, Munch, Whistler, Degas, Reden and Puvis de Chevannes. All of them were close friends of Stephane Mallarme and used to discuss the artistic life of that time in the French poet's studio. All of them too, belong to the same aesthetic phenomenon, known as Symbolism.
Simultaneously, the Museum of Art is distributing a catalogue containing scholarly essays on various aspects of the Symbolist movement written by James L. Connellly, department of History of Art; Robert T. Neely, department of French and Italian; Jeanne A. Stump, department of History of Art; and Klaus Berger, department of History of Art.
The collection of paintings and lithographies now on display in the second floor, are the works by Peter Thompson and Richard K. Knox, both new faculty members of the department of Design.
