Changes, Standards Of Living Blamed For Latin Revolutions By ALEX MACFADYEN Dr. George I. Blanksten in a lecture on the "Revolutions in Latin America" yesterday, said the basic causes of the Latin American Revolutions are the low standard of living and the rapid changes taking place. Dr. Blanksten pointed out that an average of 50 per cent of the persons living in the 20 Latin America countries are illiterate and that the healui and sanitation conditions are terrible. Rapid Change The rate of change taking place in Latin America is tre mendous, and it is almost im possible to control a growth rate as such because revolutions en courage rapid change. Many events take place in Latin America that are consid ered revolutions by the layman; however as pointed cut by Dr. sons have both been students at Carolina, will analyze the impact of today s revolutions on the Am erican citizen and the university student.

A graduate of the journal ism department of the University of Illinois, he joined The Times in its London bureau in 1939, where he remained until 1941. Reston became head of - the Washington Bureau for The Times in 1953. In 1944 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his news dijpatches and interpretative ar ticles on the Dumbarton Oaks Se curity Conference. Newsweek has called Reston one of the Washington columnists whom President Kennedy reads every morning. He is almost a legend in Washington for his abili ty to interpret significant trends of administration policy before they are stated. One of. Reston's colleagues once remarked: "I've discovered, how Scotty works. He gets up in the morning and thinks about what he is going to write that day. Next he sits down, writes it, and sends it off to his paper. After that, he goes over to the appropriate Gov ernment department and explains what he has written and how he expects them to conform with that day's story." Presidents are not unaware of Reston's influence. Eisenhower once complained, "Who does Scot ty Reston think he is, telling me how to run the country." Much of Reston's influence comes from his ability to place himself in positions to be able to have exclusive conferences with the men making the news on which he is reporting. Current Members Current members of the Society are: Pat Morgan, Praecepts; Bill Williams, Quaestor; Doug Burk hardt, Notorius; Pete Thompson, Tim Williams, Jim Gaulden, John Mitchener, Bruce Welch and Bill Wichard. The Society of Janus annually recognizes students, faculty and administrative officials for out standing service toward the im provement of dormitory life and conditions. occur there there must be a cial and economic conditions; therefore many events that are considered revolutions are not revolutions at all. Better Understanding Dr. Blanksten stated that an understanding on the part of the North American people would greatly aid in the reduction of the number of revolutions tak ing place in Latin America. Dr. Blanksten listed three ways in which the United States could aid the Latin American coun tries: To give aid through edu tion; the people of the United States should change their opi nions in regard to the fact that all Latin American revolutions are similar to the American revolution of 1776; and there should be a closer organization betveen all the American coun tries.

Photo by Jim Wallace By WILLIAM POWELL "The twentieth century will mark a major change in man's outlook on reality and life," Dr. Husten Smith said last night. He was speaking at the fourth sesion of the Carolina Symposium in Memorial Hall. History, Dr. Smith, said, could be divided into four phases: the Greco-Roman, the Christian out look, the Modern outlook and a fourth phase into which civilization is now moving. Dr. Smith said he felt that the 'Modern Outlook" was beginning to slip and that this was evidenced by the fact that modern thinkers are not certain anymore that an order exisits to reality or that there is any way of discovering a definite order to reality' by reason. The two major philosophies of contemporary civilization, D r . Smith said, were linguistic analysis and Existentialism. They are unlike in every respect except for the fact that both are products of this doubt that there is an order to reality. Dr. Smith said that psychologists hold disorder to be healthy. He said that he himself feels that some order is essential to human beings. He said that the changing of the old order could be good or bad. Order is wrong if it constricts and the old order was constricting. We are Students Use National Loans A total of 1,529 students at the University have borrowed $508,261 under the National Defense Loan Program since its inception in 1959, accoraTng "Co "Figures released to day by Julian D. Mason Jr., Di rector of Student Financial Aid. 1959-1961 The totals pertain to the period from 1959 to June 30, 1961. During the academic year 1960-61, a total of 797 UNC students borrowed $276,073. The average loan, Dr. Mason says, was $346, to compare with a national average of $470 for the same period. As of Feb. 28, 1962, 806 UNC students have borrowed $215,536 during this academic year. One of the most encouraging and significant aspects of the UNC loans, Mason says, is the speed with which the students are repaying the loans. Although repayment pro visions provide a ten-year repay ment period which only begins one year after graduation, as of June 30, 1961, $22,210 has already been returned. born author. All three emphasiz ed the complexity and large scale of the current revolutions. Mr. Oten approached the pres ent conditions historically by dividing the revolution into three phasis which he said began witft the influence of Europeans in volved in slave trading. Nationalistic Sentiments Oten's approach dealt with the political consolidation of vari ous nationalistic sentiments. This Wl Mae avancing, he said, to a newer and ampler order than that which we had in the past. Dr. Samuel Kirkwood, professor of biochemistry at the University of Minnesota, speaking on the scientific view concerning spontane ous creation of life said that the main argument against the prirnor dal, spontaneous creation of life was the second part of the law of Thermadynamies. This law, he said, means basically that as water flows down hill, heat flows to cold and energy wil travel from a higher level to a lower level. The law would seem to disprove the idea of the spontaneous generation if life. Dr. Kirkwood said that scientific research had shown that the com position of the earth at the time of the beginning of life had been different from what it is now, and that it was quite possible that the energy level difference had been different. Dorm Strength Pushed Lavvler To Victory Strength in the men's dorms was responsible for Mike Lawler's election as student body vice-president Tuesday, while Daily Tar Heel co-editors Jim Clotfelter and Chuck Wrye won on the basis of an overwhelming women's dorm vote.

Lawler led University Party an didate Larry McDevitt 989-606 in the men's dorms. McDevitt carri ed Town Men's II Sctuttlebutt by 167-15, and also won Town Men's I and IV. The total vote was 1533 for Law ler and 1306 for for McDevitt. Clotfelter and Wrye, who were SP-endorsed, were fairly strong in Cobb and the Lower Quad, but lost the Upper Quad to independent candidate Ernie Stepp. The co editor candidates led Stepp 817 732 in the men's dorms. Stepp won Town Men's II 165 to 75. Clotfelter-Wrye carried the Town Women's district 43-27 and split the other Town Men's dis tricts.

The co-editors totaled a 1543 to 1167 victory. led to discussions about the ex istence of a power vacuum in Africa. Houser denied that there was a vacuum although he cited the Congo as an exception. Oten blamed the situation in the Congo on the interference of Belgium, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain. "If the leaders following the in dependence from Belgium had been left alone for four months, a stable government would have been established" said the f'i gerian. Congo Settled He objected to the western conception that Africans were unable to govern themselves and noted that the Congo was more settled than Algeria where France has been unable to estab lish order. During the question and ans wer period, Mr. Bell observed that the diversity among the in dependent African states had prevented the anti-U. S. coali tion in the United Nations which many had feared in this coun try. He said that the African nations usually dealt with issues individually and that there was no real danger cf such a bfoc forming. Racial Problem The discussion was brought close to home when Mr. Oten cited the great amount of in dignation felt in his country about racial discrimination in the South. "Despite the policies in South Africa, racial discrimi nation does not exisit in most cf Africa, and the people are very emotional when they hear of situations like Little Rock."
