Note: This is the second of six features written for "The Gamecock" by international stu dents at Carolina. The series was arranged in collaboration with the International Relations Club.) By PETER WEISS and ANTHONY EMAN Nestled comfortably in the warm, blue Caribbean waters some 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela is the Island of Aruba. As part of the Netherlands Kingdom, it is one of the autono mous islands of the Leward group - Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire. Aruba is a relatively small island; its total area of 60 square miles extends 19.6 miles in length and 6 miles at its wid est point. Situated between 12 degrees, 24 minutes and 12 de grees, 27 minutes north latitude, it is bisected by the 70th meri dian. Aruba's capital is Orange stad. History Begins Aruba's known history began just 7 years after the discovery of the New World when, in 1499, Alonso de Ojeda, a navigator who had earlier sailed with Christopher Columbus, claimed the island for Spain. The island's first inhabitants were the Ara waks and the Caribes Indian tribes. Parts of the island still retain their Indian name like: Bushiribana, Wadirikiri, Dai mari, and Andicuri. As the Netherlands was very interested in Aruba's salt for its herring trade, the West In dies Company was established. That marked the beginning of Dutch authority in the Nether lands Antilles. Due to the dis covery of gold, Aruba became of interest to other nations such as Spain, England, France, and Portugal. The Netherlands pre vailed in the struggle for control. Native Tongue Because of the cosmopolitan composition of the population and the polyglot influence over 500 years, the nati.ve tongue, Papiamento, reflects many lan guages. It is basically derived from Portuguese and Spanish, but French, Dutch and English words are easily discernable. Paplamento is also spoken in Aruba's sister islands, Curacao and Bonaire.

Dobson, bom BEAN and of Eteri The official language is Dutch, while Spanish, English, French and German are taught in schools; therefore, the majority of the population can express itself in the afore mentioned languages. Literacy is complete, due to compulsory education of fered in the 10 public, 23 Roman Catholic and 3 Protestant schools. Unfortunately, Aruba has no universities, even though there are a number of trade schools. Gezaghebber The Lieutenant G o v ef n o r (Gezaghebber) - appointed by the Dutch Crown for a period of six years - is chairman of Aruba's 21 member Island Coun cil, which is elected by popular vote. Aruba became autonomous on December 16, 1954. After many ups and downs of short lived prosperity, Aruba has today a stable economy based primarily on oil refining, com plemented by the phosphate and aloin industries. Recently, en deavors have been made to cap ture a great part of the tourist flow into the Caribbean. Aruba's population today is approximately 60,000. The peo ple of Aruba are of many back grounds. They came from far and wide and settled there as the Caribbean seemed magnetic at the turn of the 20th century, gathering a conglomeration of the world's faces. It is estimated that Aruba has in its midst over 42 nationalities, comprised of followers of many religions. The majority are Roman Catholic; the majority of others Protestant. To care for their families, the residents of Aruba are tended by 51 doctors and 12 dentists. A large part of these doctors are employed by Lago Oil and Trans port Company, Ltd., a subsidiary of The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Tropical Disease Rare Thanks to the arid nature of Aruba and blessing of constant trade winds and brilliant sun, tropical diseases are practically unknown. Aruba ranks high in health and is proud of a living standard second to none in the Caribbean. Air and sea traffic with Aruba is tremendous. Air trans portation is provided by Royal Dutch Air Lines (Koninklijke Famous I PLATTER SEAFOODS m Trimmings rwoms Available Por Paralea flosso Stees Clariosophie Uterary Society are (I sident; and William P.

Consular representation is maintained by 21' countries, thus protecting the foreign inhabi tants and facilitating travel. Eternal Spring Aruba is also referred to as "The Island of Eternal Spring" since the temperature ranges be tween 72 and 92 degrees Fahren heit. The coast line of Aruba is comprised of many white, sandy beaches along which coconut palms away in the cooling sea breeze, providing an opportunity for enjoyable swimming and re laxation. Aruba's currency is the guil der, which is equivalent to % of the U.S.A. dollar. The Lago Oil and Transport Co., Ltd., which is greatly re sponsible for Aruba's stable economy, employs over 6,200 men and women. Lago, one of the world's largest oil refineries, produces over 400,000 barrels of of products per day, such as jet fuel, kerosene, heating oil, motor gas, tractor fuel, propane, and light and heavy diesel and fuel oil.
