Teach-In on Chile Tonight to Feature Film, Speakers

By Jeremy L. Halbreich and Daniel Swanson

A group of Harvard students are sponsoring a teach-in tonight that will attempt to explain the recent military takeover in Chile.

Among the speakers at the teach-in, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. at Lowell Lecture Hall, are a leading American expert on Latin American politics and a graduate student in Economics who returned from Chile two days before the military moved against President Salvador Allende.

James Petras, a professor of Government at the State University of N.Y. at Binghamton, and the author of Politics and Social Forces in Chilean Development, heads the list of speakers.

Andrew Zimbalist, a fourth-year graduate student in Economics, spent a year studying in Chile, returning to the United States September 7.

The teach-in will also feature a Chilean film, "Comtamento," which translates as "Shantytown." The film is about the industrial slums that ring Chilean cities.

John Womack Jr. '59, professor of History and a specialist in Latin American history, will moderate the discussion.
