As part of the program sponsored by the Indian community in Chapel Hill with many guests in attendance, Prof. Roy's speech followed the sing ing of the Indian national anthem at the opening of the program. The eve ning included Indian dances, movies, and music. In his speech, Prof. Roy stated that India's duty and obligation to the rest of the world stemmed from its his tory "as an Asian nation with an ancient civilization of .its own; as a country which had experienced more than 175 years of foreign domination and which attained her freedom by more or less peaceful methods; as a "The Indian people under the su perb guidance of leaders like Mahatma Gandhi won their independence using the weapons of truth and non-violence," Prof. Roy asserted . Trying to see the good in the ad versary or enemy of the moment, he said, and trying to change his heart through one's own sufferings for a great cause, are tenets common enough with most established religions of the world. "However, the attempt to instill these ways into the spirit of a gigan tic political struggle that was India's, was somewhat novel," Prof. Roy said. He reminded all Indians and es pecially those who are living abroad that it is a special occasion to remem ber this duty and this obligation that if.

Bob said, "The language barrier seemed insurmountable at first, but after several months. I could carry on a conversation with anyone as long as they didn't speak too rapidly." Foreign Correspondent Leaving Bogota, Bob hitch-hiked a ride on a Colombian military plane to Cali, an industrial center. By a nice stroke of luck, he met the editor of a local newspaper, was given con- iif!ernr.le rmhlicitv. and hired as a foreign correspondent. The paper paid for his plane ticket to the Ecuadorian border and from there he took an ancient bus to Ota valo, Ecuador, a progressive Indian village. After living with the Ota- valan Indians in their "chozas" or mud huts for about two weeks, Bob took an auto-train, a Ford Truck set on rails, to Quito, the capital of Ecuador. While thei-e, he lived with an old friend from Cornell, who was the son of the Colombian Ambassador. "It was a novel experience, having tea or dinner with all those diplo mats, ex-presidents, and ministers of state," Bob said, "in meeting them, I didn't know whether to bow or shake hands." The Unexpected The "unexpected" happened to Bob when he arrived in the seaport city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, after hitch hiking a ride on another military air plane, for he met and fell in love with a beautiful Ecuadorian senorita, Maria Luisa Espinosa, who is one of the most popular concert pianists in her country. Here, he studied for a while in the university and worked as an adviser in a department store to support him self. ii.ii.an, from mo-ntair.-sickne.-- ::.g th- Andes M-unta r:- .. torced to return.

By the end of August the sum is expected to reach at least $130,000. "The National Epidemic Aid Fund is exhausted, and special help must come from the people of North Caro lina if the hospital is to meet its cur rent payroll," Chairman Eure ed.
