In 1945 he ran for the
Chamber of Deputies and won a
seat where he gradually achieved
fame fighting for law and job
opportunities on a national basis,
and these campaigns ultimately
won him election to the

neighboring countries of Bolivia,
Colombia and Chile. Its purpose
was to unlock the vast, virginal
resources of the eastern Andean
foothills and open up some
5,000,000 acres of the country’s
richest land for colonization. The
cost of progress was high. It
brought inflation and then came a
show-down with the military over
his refusal to expropriate the
U.S.-owned International
Petroleum Co., a subsidiary of
Standard Oil of New Jersey.
Awakened, as he slept in the
Presidential Palace, by a burst of
machine gun fire, he looked out
to find himself surrounded by
tanks. The soldiers bundled him
off to the airport and a flight to
Argentina and exile.
He has lived in the U.S. most
of the time since. Though recently
allowed to return to Lima for his
mother’s funeral, he was picked
up by the military two days later
and escorted to the airport and
placed aboard a plane for Panama
for more exile abroad.

Guitarist Charlie Byrd is here
Guitarist Charlie Byrd and his
Quintet will perform at 8 p.m.,
Thursday, April 1 in the Parquet
Room at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte.
Byrd is a wide-ranging musician
whose repertoire moves from
Brazil to Bach.
Although the guitar is
considered to have bridged the
worlds of classical and popular
music, Byrd is one of the few
musicians who works with equal
ease in the idioms of both classical
and jazz music.
The quintet is composed of
Charlie Byrd on an amplified
6-string guitar and a classical
guitar, his brother, Joe Byrd, on
electric bass, Mario Darpino on
flute and alto flute, Hal Posey on
the flugel horn and trumpet, and
Bill Reichenbach on drums.
Byrd, as a child, learned to
play guitar from his father. He
performed regularly with local
bands around his home area of
southeast Virginia. During World
War 11 he traveled with a G.l.
orchestra. He studied guitar with
the gypsy Django Reinhardt in
Paris and musical theory and
composition at Manhattan’s
jazz-oriented Hartnett National
Music School.
In 1954, Byrd received a
scholarship and studied with the
great Spanish classical guitarist
Andres Segovia.
In 1970 Byrd recorded and
performed the score for a
full-length feature Hollywood film
called “The Bleep.’’ He also
composed the score for a
Broadway play, “The Conversion
of Private O’Conner.”
Admission to the concert is $1.

What is
‘CIRUNA’?
Many students have asked
themselves this question as they
have seen signs containing the
mysterious letters “CIRUNA”
appear and disappear around
campus.
“CIRUNA” is just an acronym
standing for the Council on
International Relations and
United Nations Affairs which is a
nationwide student controlled
organization devoted to the
understanding of international
relations and the betterment of
the United Nations. National
CIRUNA” and the campus
chapter carry out these aims by
presenting programs on the
campuses and by sponsoring
regional and national model
United Nations to which each
chapter is invited to send
delegates.
