Middle American Cultures Outlined For OSC Students Ashland "Few Ameri cans realize lhat less than 1800 miles from our southern border lies a civilization ap proximately 5.000 years old," Dr. Hadden W. James, past president of New Mexico Western college, told the stu dent body of Southern Oregon college last week. "Mexico, or rather Middle America, is one of three world locations that could have been the starting point for the hu man race. The others are,. of course, China and the Medi terranean region1." Shows Slides , Citing the Zapotec Indian culture of the Mexican state of Oaxaca as one of the old est in the Americas, Dr. James illustrated his lecture with impressive color slides of the Monte Alban and Mitla re gions. Stressing the engineer ing ability of this culture, he pointed out that the door lin tels at the Mitla ruins measure over 30 feet in length and are five feet square. "Even today, with all our modern equipment, it would be just about all we could do to move such a piece of stone, much less utilize it in con struction as readily as did the ancient Zapotec engineers," he said. The stones in these buildings are so designed prior to placement that they are nearly earthquake-proof. The exterior of the struc tures are facaded with an in tricate stone fretwork follow ing a geometric design which presents symbolically some of the religious beliefs of the ancient Zapotecs, Dr. James stated. Older Cultures "The Toltec, Zapotec and Mayan cultures of Mexico were much older than that of the more famous Aztec tribes," Dr. James added. "The Aztecs were warriors who conquered parts of Mex ico and, like the Romans, took for their own the cultural achievements of the original inhabitants. The famous Aztec calendar," Dr. James declared, "was a direct 'steal' from the Zapotec culture, whose tribal lands bordered the Aztec do mains on the south." American attitudes, he said, account for the dislike fof Americans that permeates many countries of the world. "We always want a little bit of America wherever we hap pen to be. If we are in some obscure little Mexican village, most Americans will still ask for ham, eggs, and hotcakes for breakfast. The 'fact that we are a rich people and are not adverse to show it is an additional factor," he asserted. Wafer Shortage Bans Sprinkling Canby (1TB -A "critical" water shortage Friday forced the Canby city council to ban all sprinkling of lawns and washing of cars in this com munity of 800. So serious is the shortage, the council said, that city em ployees have gone from door to door urging the citizenj to conserve water. Demands for water In this hot weather have skyrocket ed, according to the council and the town's one well on the banks of the Molalla river cannot keep up with the needs. r57A- .
