Cambodia Refuses US Aid; Military and
Economic Personnel Ordered to Leave
By PAT BONDS
Staff Writer
On Nov. 19 Prince Sihanouk
chief of state of Cambodia an-
nounced his country would not
accept any .more American ai'd.
Sihanouk ordered United States
military and economic personnel
to leave his southeast Asian
nation.
Cambodia is a strategically
placed nation which is bordered
on the south and east by the Re-
public of Viet-Nam; on the north
by Laos and Thailand and on the
southwest by the Gulf of Siam. It
is about the size of Missouri.
The country's five million peo-
ple include four million Cambod-
ians and a minority group of a
million made up of Vietnamese
Chinese Chams and Europeans.
The people are homogeneous uni-
fied by their long history com-
mon religion single language
and deep reverence for the throne.
Most of the people are farmers
who live in small villages. The
is a sly cunning man who seeks
personal wealth at anybody's ex-
pense. Jane McCone senior from
Monahans will play the part of
an Old Woman who provides in-
itial insight into the play's ex-
position. A group of students who will
become various facets of Jones'
imagination provides the play
with the chorus. Included in the
chorus are Olivia Beeman Wal-
lace Bost Phyllis Erickson Re-
nee Glenn Jean Lindley Peggy
Newman Judy Pinson Elizabeth
Richardson Sarah Snapp "Jerry
Watson and Stan Zareff.
Virginia Broyies Is
Anderson Favorite
Virginia Broyies .Cisco junior
was named Anderson Hall Sweet-
heart at the dorm Christmas party
Dec. 19. Miss Broyies was pre-
sented red roses and a charm by
Darrell Jeffreys dorm president.
The men of Anderson Hall and
their guests attended a free movie
at the Paramount Theater and
then returned to campus for re-
freshments in Anderson Hall
lobby.
Gift certificates were given to
Dr. James Zambus dorm direc-
tor and Mrs. Lucille Nollner dorm
hostess.
Chinese and Vietnamese domi-
nate the import and commercial
activities. In the past years only
the very well educated Cambod-
ians have been able to enter poli-
tics. Because of social tradition
manual and skilled labor has been
looked down upon which has hurt
industrial development.
Prince Sihanouk promulgated
the constitution in May 1947. It
called for a cabinet and a bicam-
eral legislature. In recent years
a National Congress which is a
type of national town meeting
held semiannually in which the
entire population may participate
was established.
In 1955 Prince Sihanouk gave
up the throne and founded his
own political movement which
with an overwhelming victory
put him in office as prime min-
ister. In 1958 he won the office
again and in 1960 after his father
died a national referendum con-
ferred the powers of chief of state
upon him.

with the west only but that year
diplomatic relations were estab-

Prince Sihanouk has regularly de-
nounced communism but he has
stated his intentions to remain in-
dependent on either side of the
cold war.
The main source of aid to Cam-
bodie came in the form of 248v6
million dollars from the United
States. The Sino-Soviet bloc
countries have given 60 million
dollars. Communist China has
given 49 million for a program of
industrial plants and public
works. The Soviet Union has
proposed aid of more than 50
million dollars to build a hospital
and a hydroelectric dam.
The United States has accepted
a Philippines offer to mediate

Cambodia. However State De-
partment news officer Richard
Phillips said the U. S. is not
making apology to Cambodia in
connection with the recent differences.
