Poor Nations Seen As Great Challenge
The world's under-developed nations are the greatest challenge facing the world today despite the economic aid that flows into them from powerful, industrialized nations.
By Bobbie Bartelt
David Eves, Director of the Economic Division of the British Information Service, stressed this challenge in a talk given at a luncheon yesterday for members of the Fifth Seminar on Higher Education in the Americas.
"IT IS NO longer enough to depend on the loans and grants given to these countries," Eves told representatives from Latin American colleges and universities. Developing countries, with their new and growing economies, must get guaranteed stable price controls, and the assurance that they will be able to market some of their manufactured goods abroad.
"In some cases, guaranteeing markets to the emerging economies means under-cutting our (British) nationally manufactured goods," he said. "But we can re-train and relocate workers in these areas more easily than the under-developed nations could."
"in the under-developed countries there is no real comparative progress," he said. "The industrialized nations are growing so fast that, in fact, the developing countries are falling back."
Eves also stressed the need for increased co-operation among nations of the Western world.
SUA Sponsors Vacation Buses
Want to vacation in New York over spring vacation? Or maybe sunny San Francisco or gay New Orleans?
"We'll run a bus any place the students want to go." David A. White, Prairie Village senior and chairman of the Student Union Activities travel committee, says.
A BUS will leave for New York April 4, the day spring vacation starts. Reduced raise are available for those who sign up at the SUA office in the Kansas Union, White said.
A round trip ticket to New York will cost $45. White said.
"We are considering sending buses to San Francisco and New Orleans." White said. "But we must know if there are enough students interested in going, so we can schedule buses."
"We need 33 people in order to schedule a bus." White said. Students who are interested should sign up at the SUA office.
WHITE SAID the SUA is sponsoring the trip as a service to students who live in the New York area and are looking for a ride home, or for those students who would just like to spend the spring vacation in New York.
The New York bus will make stops in Philadelphia, Pa., Harrisburg, Pa., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Wheeling, W. Va., for students who want to get off at these places, White said.
White said students must make a deposit of $20 at the SUA office by March 20 if they plan to make the New York trip.
The New York bus will arrive in New York the evening of April 5 and is scheduled to return to Lawrence the day before school begins.

RECENT CHANGES in the Communist world have opened doors to the West, he said.
"The break between Russia and China is deep and fundamental." In some countries there are two Communist parties fighting for power, one favoring the Moscow government and the other favoring Red Chinese-type communism.
Another change in the Communist world is the increasing amount of independence allowed the satellite nations. "They are being allowed more and more self-regulation. This offers more and more trading opportunities to the Western Allies."

Also a guest at Mr. Eves lecture was Norman Hallett, the new British consul in Kansas City. This was Mr. Hallett's first visit to KU. He recently arrived in Kansas City from his previous post in Nicaragua.
The Mid-western University Research Association of which KU is a member, received word that a high intensity proton accelerator request from the Atomic Energy Commission has been denied.
Government Denies Funds for Reactor
There are several proton accelerators which are larger than Allen Field House, on the east and the west coast, but none in the midwest. It had been the hope of MURA to build the machine in Madison, Wisconsin, so it would be more accessible to mid-western university scientists than the ones on the coast are.
MURA will probably be dissolved, and scientists will have to go to the east or west coast for any studies involving the use of the proton accelerator.
KU physicists were hoping to use its facilities and were among the backers from 15 mid-west schools backing the project.
It is probable the proton accelerator has been left out of President Johnson's budget, meaning its rejection.
