ln Geology l try to teach my stu- lents to understand our earth, to under- tand what they see and how beautiful :all is so perhaps they'll become more onservative minded, said Keigly. This is especially important in South 'lorida where a lot of people are con- erned about the future water supply. 'he destroying of the Everglades and ll the newly constructed canals could xtremely damage Florida's water sup- ly. H Keigly feels the biggest danger of ollution is in people's reliance on fechnology to pull them out of the lroblems they cause. There's going to we a time, and it may not be too far in fie future that man will go past the loint that our present technology can Ive, said Keigly. I think the problem is getting lretty bad when Los Angeles has llarms in the schools that ring when he pollution level gets too high and he students must run to the class- boms and remain inside.

The Panama Canal fulfilled man's dreams of a short route to the Pacific ports from the Atlantic Ocean. Richard Keigly, a native of Pan- ama, fulfilled BCC's need for a Geoli ogy teacher when he responded to their calling. We have only one major store, one high school, and one college in the Panama Canal, said Keigly. Every- thing there is government operated. The canal is run by the Panama City Company and 10011 of the stock is owned by the Secretary of Army who supposedly operates it. The Panama Canal is a ten by fifty mile strip, and a territory of the U. S. The treaty between the two countries, gives the Panamanians sovereignty and perpetuity. However there is a lot of controversy going on in Panama over whether the U. S. should have the right to sovereignty over land belong- ing to another country forever, said Keigly. Richard Keigly was born in the Canal Zone but left there after high school because, the college was not known for its high academic standing but tended toward vocational appren- ticeshipf' He attended Stetson, Flor- ida State and University of Wyoming. I find life in the U. S. far more hectic than in the Panama Canal. Since the Canal is government controlled you don't have to worry about prices because everything is lower. The medi- cal expenses are so cheap, they might as well be free. Once l broke my hand and had to have it reset and it cost me all of l3l7.00. Mr. Keigly finds the wall to I 'iii I if i Q O Oli!!! Iii!! D Q if U ICQ!!! wall people in the U. S. rather unpleas ant at times in comparison with the 50,000 population in Panama. Panama is completely differen from the U. S., said Keigly. lt is: socialist country and has a few ricl people and a whole lot of poor people The people who are poor usually farm earning anywhere from 30 to 40 cent a day. The people in the Republic art very different being culturally Blacl Latin Americans. The Panamanians art far more emotional than American and this can be refreshing but some times carried away. Before coming to BCC, Keigly wa interning at Tallahassee lr. Collegl when his advisor, a parachute jumper broke his hip and Keigly had to tak over the class for the remaining quar 3 ST ........... ter.

New Mexico, land of the lace mantillas, corn meal tortillas, bright hued pottery and the bullfights. Land of excitement where the Indian, Mexi- can, and Anglo Saxon live peacefully, looking ever ahead to the progressive future and lingering gently on a past age known to the ancient ways. Luther I. Henderson, a native of Florida and new lvlath instructor, at- tended the University of New Mexico. I wanted to explore and see what dif- ferent schools were like, he said. The school was small and ap- proximately l200 attended. The stu- dents seemed more conscientious than at other schools l'd attended and I be- lieve it was because they were very se- lective of the students admitted. Henderson felt the variety of for- eigners on the faculty was also an as- set. We had teachers from Germany, Switzerland, japan and China, said Henderson. The Atomic Testing Center was near the University of New Mexico where recruitments finishing comple- tion of their projects often came to teach. ln New Mexico they have a dual language: American and Spanish, spoke Henderson. They have predom- inantly Spanish speaking schools and predominantly American speaking schools. They try to divide it up so students might go to the Spanish school perhaps ninth and tenth grades and the English speaking school eleventh and twelth grades. The first atomic bomb testing was made in New Mexico during the l940's. Henderson worked on a Botany project that was continued yearly through a university project. The students studied the effects on plant life caused by the force of the atomic bomb. Back then of course the atomic bomb was considerably less forceful than it is today. At the time of its test- ing in the l940's, it pulverized the rocks in a circle radius of about 100 yards from the center of the blast, said Henderson. ln Botany we compared the ef- fects of radiation on different plant life. The general consensus is that the plantlife is growing back. lt's not like it was before the blast, but the cover- ing is growing back . . .
