RHO BETA GAMMA
Rho Beta Gamma Fraternity had
a party Nov. 1 at the Madlus Ranch
on the Scenic Loop. Various activ-
ities took place for the pledges.
Vice President Mike Mitchell dem-
onstrated his markmanship several
time during the night.
(Continued from Page 1)
400 American firms have estab-
lished Canadian branches in the last
ten years. Persons interested in
Canadian work should apply to the
Director of Immigration at Ot-
tawa.
As a defensive measure a triple
line of radar defense has been es-
tablished. It is maintained by a
joint agreement between the Amer-
ican and Canadian governments.
The first line (DEW or Distant En-
emy Warning) is above the Hudson
Bay area; the second, (the Middle
Canada Line) is about 600 miles
north of the Canadian border; the
third, (the Pine-tree Line) stretches
on both sides of the border to pro-
tect the industry of both countries.
Professor Brand
Dr. Donald D. Brand, professor
of Geography at Texas University,
spoke on the Economic Develop-
ment of South America with spe-
cial emphasis on Geographic char-
acteristics. He began his lecture
with an interesting orientation of
South America. He demonstrated
how a line drawn North and South
through Charleston, South Carolina
would pass to the west of Lima,
Peru. This places most of the
southern continent east of the east-
ern part of the United States. Most
of the economic resources of South
America still remain untapped.
In response to a question from
the floor, Dr. Brand said that in his
opinion, Peron’s willingness to re-
main aloof from American capital
interests brought him to power.
But Peron, in the last few years,
however, increased relations with
Wall St. This offended Argentin-
ian pride and helped to bring about
his downfall.
Certain democratic tendencies of
South American countries place
them ahead of America in the prac-
tice of democracy. Thus some
ninety percent of the people of
several South American countries
vote at elections as compared with
about sixty percent in the United
States.
SIGMA BETA CHI
Sixteen St. Mary’s men were wel-
comed into Sigma Beta Chi on
November 12, when the fraternity
formally held its reception of
pledges at the Hill Country Inn.

plete the four-week pledge period
were: Ed Bristow, Jim Cullen, Jim
Curtin, Don Daut, Jim Davis,
Roger Dollus, John Forbes, Roger
Gass, Lou Grone, Larry Hofbauer,
Jack Kelso, Tony Lucius, Jack Mc-
Namara, John L. Sullivan, Bob Up-
ton, and Bob Wingerter.
Robert Wilson was Pledge Mas-
ter and Thomas Ward, assistant.
The new members were sworn in
by Bob Davis, president; the Frat
pins were fastened on by their dates.
A dance followed.
