Jordan - American Relations
Surveyed
By JOE ARANKr
A small plol on the vyv> id’s map,
a place of many contrasts, a com-
bination of old and new, Jordan
Stands holding tire birth-place of all
religions.
Jordan today is a modern coun-
try and its 2,000,000 Arabs are de-
termined to make a model of their
country to others. Model democracy
Which is briniging about progress
could effect the whole area by being
an example. We are not yet what we
wish to be - economically self-sup-
porting - but wo are making very
good progress towards the goal with
Hie help of the United States of
America.
The relationship between Jordan
ami the United States is very strong,
and I can call on various occasions
when the United States hand-in-hand
with Jordan constructed and brought
life to various places in the King-
dom, where one now could enjoy
living.
1. We shouldn’t forget the U. S.
foreign aid to Jordan which varies
between $37,000,000 and $42,000,000
ti year.
2. Technicians of various profes-
sions are in turn training the Jor-
danians on the new inventions and
equipments in many fields.
3. The United States Information
Service (U.S.I.S.) and the United
States Cultural Center (U.S.C.C.)
play' a part in our educational stan-
dard. Their libraries in Jerusalem
and Amaian (the capital) are among
the best I have ever seen.
Student
4. Set tools and hospitals for re-
fugees, ami roads are constructed
every now and then by the Jordan-
ian Government in co-operation with
the Point Four (an American Com-
pany). The greatest project being
done by Point Four is the East-
Glior Canal, which is now support-
ing the area of Jericho and the
Ghor with water for irrigation.
Fresh vegetables and fruits are now
planted on a wider scale in this
particular area; and recently the
Jordanian Moharch cut a ribbon
opening the newly completed Azrak
Project, which is a vast water r>Up-
ply project. This project, which will
supply ten towns in northern Jor-
dan, was constructed in co-operation
wi'th tire Point Four.
5. The American Friends of the
Middle East are helping those am-
bitious young men and women to
come to the U. S. A. to achieve
their aspirations in various fields of
education.
1 would say that we are making
good progress, we have stability, and
we are determined to keep it. There
is no place for communism in Jor-
dan, and they will never step a foot
in the Holy Land. I hope that all
our friends here can help us through
-tiris knowledge and through visiting
us from time to time to make sure
that everybody knows that, too.
Finally, as the Oriental Proverb
says: “One candle lights a thou-
sand’’; and for sure, we will never
bite the hand that feeds us.

(Joe) Aranki, is a freshman South-

Senate Leader
Asks for Chapel
Attentiveness
Dec. 4, 1963
Dear Editor,
While I resent required chapel, I
also resent disrespect in chapel. By
tills, I refer to - the immature be-
havior of some of my colleagues in
our chapel. I realize that this type
of behavior is an outward sign of
hostility toward required chapel. I
also realize that to some members
of the administration this type of
behavior is an outward sign that re-
quired chapel should be continued!
This type of behavior does not bring
us closer to the end of Thursday
Chapel. It does the opposite.
I would like to join with those
who resent required chapel ip or-
der to find a more mature method
to show our resentment to tills form
of worship. I would ask those who
openly show their hostility in chap-
el to end their method of resentment
and to join us in searching for a
more suitable method.
Sincerely yours,
