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.
