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 . . .

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.

Kempton, French teacher and head of Modern Languages Department. Kempton feels it is not easy to be of one's time: This would mean one would have to be well-versed in the changes that are occurring, in terms of geography, economic or international relations. Movement from life itself as a self-sufficient individual to that of an interdependent relationship, is not easy in a highly complex and industri- alized civilization, where man per- forms more as part of a team, or as a cog in the total operation. Kempton has been teaching since 1936 with interludes in which he en- gaged in social work abroad and in this country. He is a charter member of the teaching staff at Broward Community College, which started in the barracks of the naval training station at the in- ternational airport. He was deep in a plumbing project at Green Tops, his summer home in New Hampshire, when he received a call from Dr. Rush- ing asking him to teach at the new junior College in Fort Lauderdale. From that time to the present, he feels, has been a very satisfactory and satisfying experience. Growing up in a farming area, it is his belief that life would not have been rounded out in a way that would have been satisfactory to him had he not had a place to work with his hands, in a climate that was native to him A New Hampshire. , 1 :J l ' l
