SOUTH AMERICAN PROFESSOR TO SPEAK FOR PAN-AMERICAN CLUB MEETING

Pedro Honriquez-Urena, professor at the Universities of Buenes Aires and La Plata, and Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, will address the recently-formed Pan American Club on the "Social Problems in the Spanish American Novel."

He will speak on his specialty to all members of the University and their gueats on Monday evening at 8 o'clock at the Pan American Club.

This is the second lecture the monthold organization has had. On December 3, Clarenco H. Haring '07, Bllss Profossor of Latin American History, discussed the "Industrialization of Latin America" before the group's forty members. Professor Haring stressed the importance of South American industry and its relation to the United States.

Cultural Phase Emphasized

Monday's meeting of the club will emphasize the cultural phase of South America. This is more in accordance with the purpose of the society which primarily serves cultural and social functions.

Fundamentally, the group's aim is to advance "better understanding between North and South American students." To accomplish this it is both international and intercollegiate in makeup. Students of Harvard, M. I. T., and Boston University have joined, representing seven nationalities.

The membership of the club consists of students from Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Colombia, Cuba, and Peru; while forty per cent of the group are citizens of the United States.

Although the group is independent of any other club or any government, similar organizations exist at Dartmouth, Wellesley, and Radcliffe, and the Pan American Union at Washington has expressed interest in the work. The Harvard society is attempting to expand the movement by instigating the formation of clubs in other universities and South America.

Leading the club are President Vincento Rodriquez '41 of Puerto Rico and Vice-president Arthur L. Jaros '41 of New York. Gustavo Arajon is head of the Culture Committee, Richard Carroll of the Finance Committee, Jaros of the House Committee, and Carles Calderon of the Social Committee.

Activities include a series of lectures, dances featuring a plentiful supply of cuba libres, beer parties, and regular meetings with discussions in Spanish and English. The club is collecting South American newspapers and magazines which Widener does not have.

The club is located in a suite over Hayes-Bickford, facing Massachusetts Avenue. The walls have been decorated with paintings and a mural by club members, and the room is furnished with comfortable chairs, a radio, and a bar.
