New Major

curriculum in engineering me-
chlnicn:
The program approved by the
Board of Tiusteps. upon the recom
mendation of the University Sen
ate, will lead to the bachelor of
science degree.
The need for this type of pro-1
gram has been brought about,
partially because of the many!
important technological develop
ments of recent years, Dr. Joseph
Marm, professor and head of the'
Department of Engineering Me
chanics, said.
He said ,the development of
nuclear energy, high speed air
craft, missiles and satellites has
increased the importance of a
broad training in the basic prin
ciples of the physical sciences and
the engineering sciences.
Students enrolling in the new
curriculum will have the choice
of two options.
The mechanics option covers
the more mathematical aspects of
mechanics and includes four elec-

Pan-American Day. Balgooyen ad
vised Americans to replace "nar
row nationalism" with a sympa
theic understanding of their sister
republics to the south.
Latin Americans are shocked.
he said, with the number of
Americans who do not possess
even an elementary knowledge
of the languages and customs
of the Latin American coun
tries.
A lack of educational opportun-'
ities is a basic obstacle which
has impeded progress towards
Pan-Americanism, Balgooy en
said.
Nine Latin American coun
tries have an illiteracy rate of
over 50 per cent, he said.
Balgooyen cited the student
exchange program between
North and South or Central
America as one of the best
means to break down educa
tional barriers.
However, he said, there are five
times as many Latin Americans
here as there are Americans in
Latin America and of the 11,000
Latin Americans studying in the
U S., many have experienced dis
crimination of some sort, he said.
There is no way of estimating
how many but, according to Bal
gooyen, "even one per cent is too
many."
This discrimination, he said, is
'based on the ignorance of Amer
icans of their southern neighbors.
The task lies with the. indi

ber of the Navy ROTC Drill
Team here, the outstanding fea
ture of the Navy's routine was
the finale.
"It depicted the slaying of one',
of the members of the team who
dropped his rifle (accidently on
purpose). He marched forward,
was stabbed by the commander,
with a bayonet, and fell back on
a coffin of rifles supported by six',
other members of the team. They
carried him off the floor amidst
choruses of the funeral dirge sung
by the team.'
