PAGE Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDA1, 31AI 23, 1946 PAGE TWO ThURSDAY, lIIAY 23, 1946 SOUTH OF THE BORDER: Prof. Aiton Advises Travelers Vacationing In Latin America PEACETIME USEFULNESS: Prof. Dow Explains Future Development in Use of Radar By JOAN DE CARVAJAL Students planning to visit Mexico or any of the countries in Latin America should be aware of "the principles that disturb inter-Ameri- can relations," Prof. Arthur S. Aiton declared in an interview yesterday. The movies have given the average Latin American a "distorted" idea of people in the United States, Prof. Aiton said. He often thinks that we possess great wealth, have uncom- mendable behavior and are surround- ed by an aura of lawlessness, the last giving rise to the term "gangster- ismo." Spanish Language Preferred The idea of many North Ameri- cans that English is the only langu- age to be spoken and the only one that matters is an entirely wrong at- titude, he said. Latin Americans are pleased at the mere attempt to speak their language, regardless of what kind of success one has. The "it doesn't matter" attitude also manifests itself in a failure to become familiar with the local cus- toms of the town where you may be staying. A knowledge of the local h+yroes or of a local musician who has "made good" can do much to insure the visitor's popularity. One should also be acquainted with the local fiesta days. Social Customs Upheld Familiarity with the various social customs is indispensable. The ex- change of calling cards of necessity precedes any invitation by either native or traveler. Letters of intro- duction, he stressed, are of the ut- most importance to Latin Americans. "We don't attach to them the signifi- cance that they do," he said. Future visitors to any of the re- publics are warned to prepare for all climates with appropriate clothing. This may be difficult if you have a limited baggage weight in air travel; but Quito, Ecuador's capitol, has an extremely cool climate even though on the equator. Prof. Aiton asserted that in the Latin American republics family life is a tightly bound unit which should -be respected. But once you are ad- mitted into it, you frequently find that you are a friend of not only the immediate family but all the relatives in the country. Avoid Excessive Admiration Above all, don't admire excessive- PRINTING PROGRAMS CARDS eSTATIONERY HANDBILLS, ETC. Downtown: 308 NORTH MAIN. ATHENS PRESS ly anything that a Latin American may show you from his possessions, Prof. Aiton warned. While they are pleased by expressions of admiration, they will feel strongly obliged to give it to you. In this case the best one can say is that the object is already "en buenas manos" and should re- main there. However, Latin Americans are com- plimentary by saying what they think you would like to hear them say and they like you to reciprocate their flattery, even though it may seem to be rather excessive. Students or other visitors to Latin America should stay out of local po iics, Prof. Aiton said, with par- ticular reference to Mexico, where a presidential election will be held this summer. Of course, he added, the people may ask you directly what you think of the candidates or of the pos- sible outcome. To this one can safe- ly say that "it's up to you Mexicans" and then change the discussion. Get To Know People Visiting North Americans are ad- vised not to devote all their time to the foreign colonies and groups in the Latin American republics. By' getung out and meeting the people, one can become better acquainted with their way of life and with their country and recognize the sense of dignity and worth of the individual. Prof. Aiton cautioned those who eat native foods to be extremely care- ful. Everyone should avoid uncooked foods, especially salads. But at the same time one should try to avoid offending his host by rejecting too outwardly an unfamiliar dish. It takes practice, he commented. Cultural Interest Respected If a visitor to any of the republics can convincingly show a genuine in- terest in Latin American culture, he will go a long way in overcoming a strong prejudice existing there against North American indifference to things cultural. Prof. Aiton sug- gested attending art exhibits and said that several of the countries have' fine symphonies and- opera houses. The most important thing to re-- member, Prof. Aiton declared, is that no one can generalize about the Lat- in American countries or even about a single country. The various local areas should be studied separately and for their own characteristics.

William G. Dow of the electrical engineering department said yester- day. "Radar equipment is universally in- stalled in war ships,", he said. -and i is normal to expect that all pas- senger ships and freighters of any size will be equipped with radar navi- gational devices in the future." Cap- tains of such ships will no more think of taking a ship out without radar than without a compass, he predicted. Captain Can Feel Confident Because of the new ralar equip- ment, Prof. Dow said, the captain of a ship can feel perfectly confi- dent in his ability to follow a course safely in the most adverse weather conditions. It is now actually pos- sible, he said, to sail a ship into New York harbor in a thick fog guided by radar alone. The ship's radar equipment now being developed for use in commercial vessels, he said, is the outgrowth of apparatus that has proved its merits: in war use. Prof. Dow explained that delay in the installation of radar navigational equipment should not be attributed to any doubts concern- ing its value or importance. "Mili- tary radar designs are not, in their present form, adaptable to peace- time use, so that design changes must be made." The officer on the bridge, he ex- plained, will have constantly before him a radar picture on the disk-like face of a seven-inch cathode ray tube. The Plan Position Indicator, known to radar technicians as the "P.P.I.," shows water surfaces as dark areas, while any obstacles, such as ships, buoys and shorelines, will TYPEWRITERS Bought, Rented Repaired STUDENT and OFFICE SUPPLIES Q.

This radar equipment will not only protect ships from collisions with ether ships. Prof. Low pointed out, but will also protect the ship from dangerous reefs. The P.P.I. does not pick up the reefs themselves since they are submerged, he emphasized, but it does pick up the buoys which are plotted on the map and serve to indicate the exact position of the ship. Since the reefs are also plotted an the map they can be avoided if the exact position of the ship is known. Tests Conducted Preliminary tests;on radar equip- ment for commerical navigation have already been conducted. Radar equip- m'ent installed in the USS City of Ric hmond of the Old Bay Line be- tween Baltimore and Norfolk is in- tended to give protection in darkness, fog and other types of bad weather for distances from 100 yards to 32 miles. The Chesapeake is considered an excellent testing ground because of its heavy traffic, its irregular shoreline and its famous fogs. War-developed radar will also play an important part in patrolling the North Atlantic for icebergs in ship- ping lanes in the re-established In- ternational Ice Patrol, The rescue and ice-breaking cut- ters, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, will be equipped with radar to assist in locating icebergs during low visibility. The patrolled area, through which passes the world's heaviest ocean traffic, is located in the general region of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland land is blanketed by fog a large part of the time.
