PEARL OF THE CARIBI
Aruba -Is
(Ed. 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, Dal
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 natiare 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.

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.
Cezaghebber
The Lieutenant G o v e i 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 15, 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 Compar,y, 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

sea transportation is of all types,
including naval craft, Antarctic
bound whalers, ocean going tugs,
tankers, passenger liners and
freighters. Aruba's harbor facili
ties handle well over 4,500 ships
a year. Private cars and other
automobiles number well over
6,000. 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 sway 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. The refinery obtains the
crude oil directly from the Lake
of Maracaibo in Venezuela, a
country which has a tremendous
expanding economy,
Aruba's future plans include
the completion of the construc
tion of a Monte Carlo like casino,
a Campo Allegre and a big water
plant.
Problems Discussed
Some of the most perplexing
problems man faces today will be
discussed by professors of subjects
ranging from history to biology
and political science to art In a
new course, "Great Contemporary
Issues," offered at Kent State Uni
versity, beginning with the new
year. The two-hour course, not
listed in winter quarter schedules,
is open to the public. It is being
given Tuesdays and Thursdays,
