the Chimbote Steel Works, which
marks the birth of heavy industry

The Inauguration of these two
costly projects was attended by a
numerous French delegation, pre-.
sided by the Director of the Po-
litical Department of the French
Ministry of Foreign Relations, JAG

The presence Of this delegation
is due to the fact that French in

the financing of the two projects.
Work in the steel plant was
started fifteen years ago, during
DR.. Prado's first government. Since
then, over seventy million dollars
have been invested. The plant will
have a capacity of $1,000 tons a
year and will use electric power
from the Canon del PATIO plant,
erected on the right bank of the
Santa River. The plant will begin
generating $4,000 XIV, which will
be increased later to 10000.
President Prado declared the

speech, at the end of which he

But the colleges themselves
because of their financial trOub-
les have decided TO employ a
new approach to at least one
phase Of education. They are be-
ginning TO cut down on free
scholarships. Instead they are
making long-term loans to stu
dents.
Some educators don't like it, but
many do. There seem to be good
sound reasons for this new depar-
ture.
Unless a college or university
had vast endowments to support a
scholarship program the money
would come out of other things.
Frequently it came from money
that might have gone into new
libraries, new laboratories or new
plant and equipment.
But most of all it came from the
salaries Of the college professors.
A big reason in some schools for
low faculty pay was that so much
Of the colleges cash was going to
the scholarship fund. Many college
professors were willing to let this
happen in order to get the best
and most promising students into
their institutions. But when the
cost of living continued to climb
and reached its present virtually
out-of-bounds limit the college
teachers discovered they could not
pay the price.
In some schools as many as 80
per cent Of the student body were
there in scholarships. In these
same schools professors salaries
were still back at the levels of
the 'mid-40s. SO now the colleges
are trying this new way of meet
ing costs, hopeful that their grad
yates will remember to pay back
old Alma Mater.
