FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1945 Gray Addresses Education Workshop; Discusses Latin-American Relations "United States must show toler ance, sympathy, and apprecia tion 'for her Latin American neighbors," declared Dr. William H. Gray, associate professor of Latin-American history and chairman of the committee on in ternational relations at the Col lege, when he addressed students of the Education Workshop re cently. "The government of many of the Latin American countries will seem insufficient in its democratic ways," stated Dr. Gray. "It is to ward these countries that toler ance must be displayed. A smpa thetic attitude must be used in dealing with those nations which seem socially or economically backward. The good offered by Latin America to the United States should be fully appre ciated." Recently, 'because of a desire to balance their national economics, many of the Latin American countries began to develop. their industries revealed Dr. Gray. In tra-American trade and the Latin- American attitude toward labor have done much.taward the build ing of the industries in the 20 re publics, according to the history professor. Since the outbreak of the pres ent conflict, the United States has greatly increased her South American purchases, stated Dr. Gray. At present, according to statistics quoted by 'Dr. Gray, the United States owes four billion dollars worth of merchandise tto her Latin Ameerican neighbors. In his discussion of "Our Neigh bors to the South," Dr. Gray pointed out that the Latin Ameri can' countries don't mind foreign ers who open industries in their countries as long as these immi grants become permanent resi dents of these countries. He also revealed the fact that the national government has made. plans to to give postwar low interest loans to Latin - Aniericari • 'countries 'to aid in their industrialization. Dr. Gray also discussed the var iety of governments and the methods of changing these in Latin America - during the last five years. •According to his studies, he has found that 5 countries have uni-cameral -legislatures and 15 hi-cameral law making houses. The republics also vary in methods of .separation of powers and in terms of office. Presidents serve anywhere' from one to eight years before .they are reelected. "The Latin Americans have the idea to be self-governing, but they also possess -feet of lead which weigh them down," stated Dr; Gray when describing the various governments and the in fluence the United States exer cises over them. •"One, way in which. the • United States:exercises ' control over • her Soiithern• neighbors is- bx- refusing to, recognize . • any revolutionary Librarian Resigns Miss Harriet Harris, assistant in the Circulation Department of the Library since September 1943, has resigned to accept a position at the Elmhurst College Lifbrary, Elm hurst, 111.

Everything about the rehearsal is informal. Members of the cast snap their fingers in the air, pound on their foreheads, or scratch their heads as they try to remember their next• lines. They haven't much time to recall them, how ever, for if a pause lasts more than a second or two the prompter calls the line out and the re hearsal goes on at full speed. As Ann Procter (Betty Shenk) and Evelyn (Margaret Keefe or Marjorie Stout, alternately) stand at one end of the stage repeating their lines, Aunt Martha (Verna Sevast) sits on the sofa with her ear cupped in her hand, strain ing to hear her. cues. The two talk so hurriedly that she can't under stand them at times and the book holder fills in for her. Three_ times the actors goes through each scene without stop ping to pause. They very rarely leave the stage, for things are moving so fast that they haven't time. When they do come offstage they are gasping from talking so fast, The confusion created now while actors work to perfect their lines is a promise of a fine, pol ished performance when "Guest In The Tiouse" is given before an audience. 9 Frosh to Wear Eccentric Attire ' (Continued from page one) shade topped by his dink because he failed to button.
