great Jose Likes Ada But Colombia Has Advantages By ERNEST THOMPSON His name is Jose Echeverri and he's from Colombia He s attending Ada High School But he's not the average ex- change student After a month as a member of the AHS student body the South American has drawn some firm conclusions about the United States and Ada in general and his high school classmates in particular Jose comes from Manizales Colombia a city of about 000 people through nal Fellowship Inc New York City He will be here through the second semester and is ing in the home of Dr and Mrs Don Kellogg northeast of Ada He is not fluent in English and has had a few problems adjusting to the life style of Ada His He likes not necessarily in order of girls Ada stores nighttime television nis movies plays and can cars He doesn't particularly care people who don't know thing about Colombia daytime television a certain lack of cial contact and some for to the coastal town of quilla another 600 miles cause he was traveling with a group of exchange students he didn't take the direct route through Texas Instead he touched down in Miami ta New Orleans and finally Oklahoma City toms Americans take for Why granted Oklahoma and Colorado Jose's pilgrimage to Ada is i prise one of the regions for a story in itself the international exchange Jose I was one of four kids from all of chosen to come to North he says I wanted mainly to study lish In Colombia I am ready to enter the university and lish is very important He adds English is very j good to know if you are going to study textile administration I That's his goal To get to Ada he flew from the mountainous Colombian city to Bogota the capital about 400 miles away Then it was asked for the region Dr rell Hill Ada High principal and I Trs Deene Sherbert ish instructor agreed to the arrangement I tell people in Colombia I am in Oklahoma and they don't know what I'm talking Jose says Then 1 say I am in Ada and they think that's a very funny name He's staying with the Kellogg family Dr Kellogg is an professor of science at East Central because Donna a Kellogg daughter is an member of the ish class and club at Ada High She volunteered her family for six months In an interview with this re- porter whom he found to be a very strange man because he doesn't drink Jose preferred some impressions and of Ada as i It has been difficult to the English language The toms the small town and this type of school are so different from my own I take world history shop art Spanish and chemistry Most of the time I have no trouble with the language but understanding the history er is sometimes hard I get a classmate to help It is very odd The kids at Ada High don't know thing about Colombia not even where it is In Colombia I at- tend a school where we study France Spain England Italy and especially the United tes It is an obligation I know j much about the history of the United States but people here know nothing about my country The biggest difference I is the girls in school In bia boys and girls don't the same schools Here I find the girls going to school with the boys and I like it Buenos i girls here i The cold weather is unusual I find it hard to adjust to it j at first It's too cold to play tennis except inside buildings I started to lake English composition but it was too First I must learn the language The stores in Ada are I love the stores i Kids here are not allowed to drink 1 think that's funny We drink wine from the lime we are old enough to walk in Colombia President Renews Oath Amid Pageantry school Elections

That's really very funny Everybody drinks coffee North Americans all seem to think South America is very poor I had one person ask me if I lived in trees What they think we're The TV talks about only the poverty in Colombia We have our fine homes and streets and cars just like other countries Sure there are poor people but it's not like you're told here I like big towns but Ada is a nice little town There are good houses good cars ful stores friendly people Here you can see forever In Manizales we're in the mountains and you can't see much of anything because of them I like to be able to see a long ways I prefer les but I like it here too Jose is fiercely nationalistic The smiling affable youngster can get quite upset if something 1 he interprets as bad is said about Colombia He points with pride to the I large department store headed by his father Jorge Echeverri and to new car assembly plants in Columbia Colombian It's the greatest In Brazil coffee can't even compare to Colombia's

Sharing Sounds Good But Has Other Side Federal revenue of the cily good or Both At least according to Ada ty Manager Jim Cook who is affected a great deal and Ada Sup of Schools Max Skelton who will also feel the impact Revenue sharing initiated byi President Nixon to return tax j funds to local governments thus eliminating millions of crats and returning some local control expenditure of ax money figures heavily in the budget of practically every de- But al the same lime many programs such as those under Housing and Urban ment Department of tation and Health Education and Welfare may be wiped out Cook is pleased in general with the concept of revenue ring I certainly prefer revenue sharing to having people in Washington set my Cook says But if the dent is using this as an excuse to kill existing programs it won't work We may be back where we were in the 1940s Skelton whose school system doesn't benefit directly from re- venue sharing agrees We have heard rumors that many programs which affect us will be cut back by 13 per cent or eliminated the schoolman notes We have a prime example right now in our school system We've been promised money for our second semester learning disabilities program But we can't pay ple with promises Skelton gives another If impact funds are cut now and no highway program for Midwest City for example in sight EDA is supposed to the money will have to be made j have its budget cut drastically up by the state which means l and could be phased out Ada will have to take its share next year Revenue of the reduction in school funds ring is great but if it's Manpower programs have been frozen Cook says We normally have 12 to 15 people working for the city will not be replaced ded to replace funds for our current programs it will mean we have less money in the long run Both men say they understand when they finish the program the President's moves and they I understand the emergency think they know his motives employment program will be gone by June We also hear HUD is in absolute panic have no housing program He's trying to cut the red tape and at the same time reduce the federal Cook says So many thousands of people are frozen into the bureaucracy that the President has less and less control over the actual tion of the government I think he's trying to weed out the old-line bureaucrats who will not administer his es then replace them in two years with others who will be more consistent He's having to work with people who go as far back as the Roosevelt administration However he's taking quite a gamble If he cuts out HUD See Revenue Page 2 Some crop up for Latin
