People Not Asked In Peron Ousting Ramon Eduardo Ruiz, Instruc tor in history, said last night that force# that overthrew Peron in Argentina did hot represent the people. Ruiz wan speaking at the Browning Room lecture neries on the topic, "Trouble Spot# in Latin America." Ruiz traced the hintory of poli tics in Argentina. He naid that in the 1930's a new clans began to rine, those who were merch ants interested In the welfare of Argentina, native industralists, and urban labor. This class, he stressed, agitated for a modern, industrial state. Ruiz said that Peron was the expression of this new group. And when Peron ruled, indus trialists were encouraged, tariffs were raised, urban labor wan supported, and the landless were given land. Ruiz maintained that the group which succeeded Peron is another totalitarianism, but the new gov ernment in composed of the forces of the old landed oligarchy that ruled Argentina from the early 1800's to 1916 and from 1930 to 1943. This oligarchy, he said, was composed of church, landlords and the military, and wan found ed on the impetus that meat and grain are the basis of Argentine prosperity. Ruiz said that Argentina is at a crossroads. It can either pro gress, if democrats are given ex pression in daily life and mediums like the great newspaper. La Prenza. which is now cloned, is reopened, or else in Argentina one dictator has been replaced with a repressive oligarchy. Ruiz also touched on the prob lem of Guatemala where a Com munist-tinted government was overthrown last year with U. H. help. <* Ruiz said that the present ruler of Guatemala has doTie nothing about land reforms or education, and stressed the im portance of the United States recognizing democratic govern ments in Latin America that face the need of land distribution and education. Ruiz added that the economic importance of Latin America to the U. S. is considerable. He said that of oil imports, 83 per cent comes from Latin America, and of U. S. exports of machinery 50 per cent goes to Latin Amer ica. Ruiz said Latin America has a powerful voice in the U.N. Of the 60 members in that body, 20 are representatives of Latin American countries. Enumerating the contributions of Latin America in art and cul ture, he cited many great artists, writers, composers, and conclud ed with the distinction, "every Latin American is a poet."

College Market of TIME market research, Feb ruary, 1955, and projected to the Uni versity of Oregon enrollment of 4800. $1,160,000 this year on wearing apparel! It's hard to believe, but according to statistics it's true! The question Eugene businessmen are asking is "where will they spend this?" Oregon students are going to spend this money at the stores they have heard of . . .. the stores they are sure will have the merchandise they want. Students will not spend time going from store to store hunting for an item. Emerald advertisers will find their advertising brings student response, because students do read the Emerald and the ads. Of 228 students interviewed last fall, 57% read the Emerald daily; 75% read the Emerald three times a week or oftener. The undergraduate market is a BIG market ^for many products right now . . . and they are today's best customers for new tastes, ideas and habits.
