Senate Advocates Rallies Rather Than Glory Days

FRATER BALLET?—Group of Fraters rehearse their part in the 18th annual Frater Frolics, to be pre-

sented at 7 p.m. tonight and 8 p.m. tomorrow night at the Women's Literary Club. Tonight has been

designated as Alumni and Faculty Night. Theme for the show will be "New York, New York". The show

is directed by John Hoekstra and narrated by Tom Shade. Tickets for the Frolics are 75 cents and pro-

ceeds will go for the Mission Drive,

A Glory Day resolution, based on the lack of participation in past Glory Days, was proposed at Stu-dent Senate's Tuesday evening meeting.

The resolution called for the Senate's approval to "confine the recognition of the (championship) beams to an evening bonfire or pep rally." Tradition has held that a class day following a championship season would be devoted to rallies honoring the victorious team.

Senator Chris Buys suggested that, if passed the resolution leave room for future change. Discus-sion of the resolution was high in opposition, as some Senators feU that previous Glory Days have been "days off." Others felt that Hope's teams should be honored even if a majority of students were

apathetic to the organized activit-ies.

"We must remember that even though only 400 students participat-ed in the football Glory Day, only 600 students bothered to vote for Senators," contended junior Larry Haverkamp.

Other Senators dissented that these figures did not necessarily include the same people and that non-participation could be a neg-ative vote as well as it could be apathy.

Senate leader Dave Mouw stres-sed the resolution committee's viewpoint that such a statement would undo the tension arising after each victorious season, with Hopeites demanding a Glory Day.

The resolution will be discussed in the dorms before the next Sen-ate meeting, at which time it will be voted upon.

Northern Negro Receives Rights

by Robert Donla

Birmingham Travelers' Experiences

Provide Follow-Up on Lomax

The Negro in the North is dis-criminated against in many ways; this cannot be denied and should not be minimized. However, the Northern Negro is rarely denied basic constitutional rights, such as free speech, assembly, and the right to vote. Such rights are denied daily to Negroes in the South and it is for this reason that the Southern problem looms as much more dangerous and dif-ficult than the Northern situation.

One reason for this is that the white man in the South fears the power of the Negro. Many South-

ern counties are over 50% Negro in population and if everyone were to vote, Negroes could conceivably dominate the whites in much the same way as Negroes are now being dominated. While this dom-ination is not likely to happen, the Southern white fears that it will, and his action will continue to be motivated by that fear.

In suppressing the Negro ma-jority in many Southern areas, whites have gone to unbelievable extremes in defending their su-premacy. People are often beaten or arrested by police with no prov-

ocation except that they support Negro rights. A voter registration worker was arrested for speeding — while his car was standing still. Another worker was hauled out of his motel room only a few hours after arriving in town, held for three hours without charge, and finally charged with failing to have his draft card with' him! A Negro allegedly was shot by police for stealing a banana. Such atrocities sound as though they could occur only in a fascist or communist police state, but this is happening within the bord-ers of the United States.

The solution to such a situation is not simple. Several proposals have been made, each with their advantages and disadvantages.

Federal occupation of the South has been advocated. This would insure Negro rights, but would in-cite even more bitterness and hatred than presently exists.

Another proposal is to use dis-creetly the power of the federal government to enforce desegrega-tion. This is the policy of the current Administration. The gov-ernment would act to insure voting rights and desegregation of public accomodations and declare seg-regated areas off limits to milit-ary personnel. Such*proposals are limited in their effectiveness and often breed hatred for the federal government in the states concern-ed.

Another suggestion is to let the Negro demonstrations awaken the conscience of the South in the hope that segregationists are re-placed in public office toy moder-ates. Such a policy would probably result in the best feeling in the long run, but in the meantime Negro rights would continue to be denied.

Of course, many other sugges-tions have been made and many people favor combining two or all of these proposals. The problem is an extremely complicated one and it will require the best minds that our country can produce, as well as the interest and co-opera-tion of us all to ultimately solve the problem.

by John Mulder "Where do we go from here?"

was the topic of an informal dis-cussion Tuesday in Winants Audit-orium.

The meeting was intended as a follow-up of the visit of Louis E. Lomax and was led toy a panel of three Hope students and a faculty member who went down to Birm-ingham, Alabama, during Thanks-giving vacation. These panelists were Bill Brauer. Chuck-Menoing Paul Ransford ancr Mr. Janreg SaTcblm of the Speech jDooert^

•T David Clark of the His-tory Department served as moder-ator.

The four told of their experi-ences in Birmingham, the scene of violent racial conflicts a short time ago. They told of their visits to Miles College, an all-Negro col-lege just outside of Birmingham, to Negro places of business, and to (he headquarters for the Negro voter registration drive.

They told of seeing the Birming-ham City Hall which proclaimed in marble above its portals, "Free and Equal Justice for All, Despite Race or Creed." They told of the injustice of which they had heard and seen, of the rejection and hos-tility of fellow whites in Birming-ham towards them because they were walking and talking witn Negroes.

"The strife and tensions which are eating at the heart of this nation," as Paul Ransford put it, was also described. But he went on, echoing the feeling of his fel-low itinerants toy saying, "The Negroes showed to me the best way to overcome these tensions— by love."

They told over and over again of the spirit of the Negro which was expressed poetically at one point by Mr. James Malcolm when he said that the Negro spirit re-minded him that 'To believe that which is difficult all one's days as if it were easy — that is faith."

They told of the Negro's faith: a faith in the country, a faith in the final victory of good; a faith based on God's intervention in the world.

They told of their reasons for going. Mr. Malcolm said he went to see a good friend of his who was teaching at Miles college and also to see for himself what Birm-ingham was like.

Chuck Mennlng told of why he went. "I went to see the fact for myself so that I could make a

RUSS' Drive In

valid judgment of my own." And what did he see? "I saw an hon-est and directly and actively ap-plied love expressed by the Negro."

Paul Ransford told that he went to observe this love. He and the others returned, as they said, "humbled." "We must learn that the most important thing for us is to live the Christianity in which we profess," Paul concluded.

Bill Brauer told of his reasons for going. He told how he had grown up in a community for 14 years which had accepted Negroes almost completely. He then had moved to another community in which he found friends which had "not a hate exactly; it was more of an ill-feeling, a distrust. It was satisfaction with an unanswered question." His reason for going was then to try to find out why his friends felt this way. '

He came away with this impres-sion: "The thing which impressed me most was the Negroes' openess and directness in facing the pro-blem." . , . ."I believe that the North will be integrated after the South." He also voiced an opinion which he felt might be very con-troversial: "In many respects the Negro in the South has more rights than a Negro in the North."

The result of this meeting was the formation of two committees, one which will study what can be done by Hope students in Holland, Mich, and one which will decide how Hope students can become in-volved in the problems in the South.

WTAS Program

of special features to the WTAS -programming schedule. Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Dick De Vleming will broadcast the entire Messiah.

Wheaton Squeaks Out Win Over Hope by Steve De Pree

Stimulated by Hope's misjudge-ments Wheaton basketball squad whipped the Blue and Orange by a score of 86-82 last Saturday night in a tight contest played at the Civic Center.

A brilliant comeback by the Fly-ing Dutchmen highlighted the lat-ter portion of the game. This ex-citing reversal of events turned the tide toward probable victory for Hope, but at the last minute some deciding errors drew the curtain on Hope's brief display of winning possibilities.

The big guns for Hope's offense were silenced throughout the first half as the Crusaders commended the action. Bill Potter was the only member of the starting squad to hit consistently the first half. Bill pumped in 28 of Hope's points as Wheaton led by a margin of 44-36 over the initial half. A big reason behind Wheaton's domin-ation in the first half was the offensive and defensive skills of the Crusader's clever guard John Pfund.

Coach Russ DeVette relied only upon the services of six players during the contest: Glenn Van Wieren, A1 Palmer, Clare Van Wieren, Bill Potter, Ron Venhuizen and Dean Overman. These players sparked the second half rally that saw Hope rise to within one point at the seven minute time.

The two teams exchanged the lead many times during the next few minutes to the joy of the spec-tators. At the finish, Glenn Van Wieren netted two key free throws to make the score 82-80. But Wheat-on came back down the court to whip in a basket tying score again.

After the basket Hope tried un-successfully to score. Wheaton's Pfund led the Crusaders back where he was fouled by Ron Ven-huizen. Pfund sank the free-throw and the Flying Dutchmen gained possession with 27 seconds remain-ing. Wheaton harassed Hope, took the ball away and put in a basket and free throw to ice the contest.

Final statistics showed nearly equal field goal and free throw percentages for the teams. Indi-

Butler Finds 'Intruder' Shallow

VICTORY—John Crozier, State Men's Extemporaneous Champion, and Mr. M. Harold Mikle, debate coach, scan the State contest pro-gram prior to Crozier's victory.

Crozier First in Contest, Radliff Speaks Third

John Crozier placed first in the mens' division at the Annual State Extemporaneous Contest held on Hope's campus Saturday. John Crozier is now this year's State Men's Extemporaneous Champ-ion.

Also in the extemporaneous con-test, junior S u e Radliff from Scotia, New York placed third in the women's division. Contestants debated on the general topic of racial tensions and the federal government.

Schools represented were the University of Detroit, Michigan State University, "Wayne State Un-iversity, Calvin College, Western Michigan University, Northern Michigan University, Central Mich-igan University, and Hope. Wayne State won first in the women's division.

The State Public Address Fest-ival also took place on campus Saturday with about 40 speakers from various colleges and univ-ersities of Michigan present.

Fea tures-R eviews Columnists' Opinions

(The film version of WiUlam Faulkner's novel "Intruder in the Dust" was shown last Friday night by MortarBoard as part of a special series. Butler is a sopho-more at Hope College.)

The most striking impression one gets from "Intruder in the Dust" is that it was very weak when it could have been very string. As the picture began, I got the feeling of involvement and fear that comes from being swept into the heart of a huge, human, social problem. This fear, this feeling that the humanity of which you are a part is thus wounding and being thus wounded could have been the great strength of the film. Unfortunaltely it was betrayed early in the movie.

This tension leading to commit-ment was dissolved by sentiment-ality; one of Hollywood's favorite and least forgivable vices. It ap-peared first in the little Negro boy, who was dragged in solely for com-ic relief. It is ironic that the movie sought comedy in the stereotype of the very people whose dignity it was trying to assert. The little boy is the "typical" watermelon-eating-nigger-boy with big round eyes and superstition, and the audience could be counted on to laugh on cue (at the Negro's expense) whenever he was toted out.

The sentimentality of the little boy was right at home in the film, whose basic message was senti-mental. In "Intruder" we have the old story, which rings less true the more times we hear it from South-ern authors, of the "good Negro" who is about to be lynched, and who is saved by the decency of some whites. In this case the Ne-gro, a man of singular dignity, has helped a white boy who fell in an icy stream while hunting on the Negro's land. When the Negro, is arrested for the murder of a white, he asks this boy to get his uncle, an attorney, as his lawyer. At first the lawyer refuses to help, since he thinks the Negro's sup-posed crime, shooting a man in the back indefensible; and besides, he doesen't really care much, anyhow. Finally, however, he comes around, and agrees to help.

The Negro says that it was not his gun that did it, and the boy, believing him (as his uncle does not) goes in the dead of night to dig up the body and see. He is aided by a sweet little old lady, and the typical Negro boy. Of course, when they do eventually find the body, the Negro is not guilty, and the man who is guilty is the leader of the lynch mob.

It all ends happily ever after with a little sermon on how the people will remember forever after what they almost did to the Negro.

The message of the film is that human decency, as exemplified by certain Southern whites, will event-ually win out over the "poor white trash" elements enforcing segre-gation. This is all in accordance with the statement made by Wil-liam - Falkner-saying that event-ually Southerners would realize how "silly" segregation is, and it would end.

Both of these sentiments sound shockingly shallow, and they are vaguely reminiscent of "keep your Northern agitators out of here and we'll solve the problem ourselves" feelings.

The problem is, human decency (whatever that is) is not enough. A part of the Southern tradition will not solve a problem that is judging that tradition, and the whole nation, as well. This fact is just barely suggested in the film, when, at the end the Negro asks the lawyer if he would have be-lieved him about the gun. The law-yer does not answer and the sub-ject is dropped. At other points, as well, we see the prejudice of the lawyer. He wants to know why a

Negro is carrying a gun, at at one point he says "If he just weren't so proud." And yet it is just this pride that makes the lawyer take the Negro's case at all. By his pride, by his generosity and by his moral character (which is be-yond reproach) the Negro has "earned" his humanity, and his right to consideration as a human being. This is a lesson segregation-ists and do-nothingists will not learn—that a man does not earn his rights. He is born with them, and he fights for them, but he does not earn them by being "de-cent" or like society around him.

Viewed as an historical curiosity (the film was made in 1949) "In-truder" is informative in several ways. It is frightening to think that Hollywood's first attempt at serious commentary on a social problem should .be shallow and halting. At the same time, one sees how far mass media (particularly televis-ion) have come in this area since that time, how far the problem has come, and how far it has to go. My final impression from the world the film portrayed, and the nature of the portrayal was God help the Negro if he wants equality and humanity in this world.

We students are a well adjustea group. Even those of us who have complexes have common common complexes. And we are sophisti-cated. Students can peer behind the sphinx-like countenance of the professor. We can read his mind. Everyone of us is astute enough to judge the exact minimum ef-fort required for an A in any course. But most of us are too busy being well adjusted to bother.

I had just returned from a well adjusted evening integrating into my peer group and relating with a little ectomorph. I opened my door and saw a two hundred and twenty pound Buddha sitting on the floor. Actually he wasn't a Buddha. He just sat like one — kind of inscrutable. Before him, at the exact center of my oriental rug, he had placed a glass of ice water. He gazed intently at the glass, not looking up when I en-tered.

"Hello," I offered. He didn't

look up. Wishing to be hospitable, I offered him some soda crackers. I often eat soda crackers and ice-water. He didn't seem to hear.

"What can I do for you?" The Buddha waved his hand indicating he wished silence. I persisted.

"Why are you in my room?" I asked.

With a detached calm he inform-ed me that I had the only suitable rug on campus.

"And why do you have that thermometer in the glass?" I begged.

He sighed with disgust and un-crossed his legs. I was favored with his full attention.

"I am a metaphysician" he an-nounced. "A sort of mystic. I have discovered certain secret truths of the universe. Now I seek another. Already, I can tie a bow tie. I have communed with Super-man and know his true identity." He took out his harmonica and played 'Persephone.'

by David Von Ins

"Pretty powerful stuff," I ad-mitted. "What are you working on now?"

"It 's mind over matter," he ex-plained. "By forcing all of my concentration on the glass of ice water, I will raise its temperature to the boiling point. The circular rug focuses my thought like a burning glass."

I watched him for over an hour (mostly because I feared my rug would be set ablaze) then went to bed.

When I awoke in the morning he was gone. A note next to the glass informed me that he would return later in the day. That was over a week ago. I haven't seen him since. If somewhere he is now reading this, I urge him to return. The water has not yet reached the boiling point, but it has been up to room temperature all week.

Greek Week Seen around campus this week: Hell week began for several frat-ernities, and Knick actives plan "exciting games" for pledges Chris Noteboom, George Harrison and Jim Pierpont. . . . More fraternity pins have come into the possession of some of our female population. Congratulations to Pat Elzerman and Paul Eeningenburg (Arkie), to Thelma Leenhouts (Delphi) and Chuck Veurink (Arkie), to Ella Van Faasen and Dilettante Dave Von Ins (Knick) on their recent pin-nings.

Best wishes also go to Ann Gard-ner (Alpha Phi) and Bob Clowe, to Karen Voskuil (Sorosis) and Dave Mouw (Cosmo) and to Pat Oury and John Woodward (Knick) on their engagements.

Heard around campus: Plans for Sigma Sigma's February formal are already under way, with Mary Bellink and Carla Reidsma in

charge. . . . Winter term officers are taking charge in two sororities. New Sybilline officers are: Bobbie Freggens, president; Judy Dirkse, vice-president; and Pat Ashwood, secretary. Sorosis officers are Marge Bundschuh, president; Mari-lyn Reed vice-president; and Ann Knudsen, secretary. The latter were elected at Sigma Sigma's an-nual spaghetti dinner, held at the home of Carla Reidsma.

Word has it that the Knicker-bocker Fraternity started with a vengeance; disinterested in the Cosmos and Fraters, the "Knicks" banded together in a new fraternity and picked as their name that of the fictitious author of Washington Irving's History of New York.

Last Tuesday a planning session for an All-Greek literary award was held. Representatives from each fraternity and sorority met with Dr. Savage and Dr. Yntema.

Robert Donia made some very

noteworthy remarks in an article

in the Nov. 27 issue of the anchor.

His proposal was that the cause

of the late President 's death was'

hatred. However, at the discussion

last Monday, Nov. 25, led by Dr.

Fried, we discovered that behind

the simple statement 44the cause

was hate" lies a good deal which

was left unsaid in this article and

which may very well have led

Donia ito make a very unguarded

statement near the end of his

article that "we need to throw out

those leaders who preach hatred."

Admittedly hatred is the most

obvious answer, but what caused

this terrible hatred? Dr. Fried sug-

gested that it was fear : fear in

turn caused by intolerance. As the

discussion developed, three main

points emerged: (1) Solutions to

problems of human relationships

are almost impossible to achieve:

we must realize that there is no

absolute solution in these problems

as there is in a mathematical prob-

lem. (2) Tolerance is possible when

two "opposite" parties have the

s^me goal but different ways of

reaching it: intolerance is the re-

intolerance

In articles in past issues and in the letter to the editor appearing on this page, much has been said about intolerance. On the one hand Robert Donia has stated that we must throw out those leaders who preach hatred, while on the other hand John Cox is implying that unless such a statement is heavily qualified it can display in-tolerance and fear.

While one may question some of Cox's logic (men may not be afraid because they are in-tolerant; it may well be that they are intolerant because they are afraid—unless Mr. Cox has arrived at an absolute solution of the question of the origins of intolerance), the fact remains that he does raise some valid questions about the treatment of those with whom we disagree.

At the moment the problem is centered about political disagreement. How should we act to-ward those whose political views are not in agreement with our own? Certainly we should be tolerant of people who differ with us. But when a person's doctrines preach destruction and violate democratic principles and therefore our democratic security, we cannot allow such a person to enter into or remain in a position of leadership in which his doctrine can destroy our country. In other words, by democratic process

we reserve the right to "throw them out".

We can tolerate a person who preaches hate as we must tolerate everyone simply because he is a human being, but we also must decide for ourselves whether a person's doctrine is bring-ing our country or society into destruction. And to preach hatred is to preach destruction. The advocated hatred of a leader can produce far more influence and damage than that of the solitary individual.

To attack the problem from a different angle, hatred in any form means intolerance and, as Mr. Cox implies, we should be intolerant of false intolerance. Therefore, the statement that we should be intolerant of those who preach hatred and that we should throw them out of positions of leadership is not invalid.

A person does not have to b e a member of an extremist group to foster hatred. To be in-different, to refuse to actively love in all the Christian implications of the term, is to allow active hatred to exist and to allow groups of those who hate to become dominant in our society.

And hatred kills.

suit of extremist groups who have entirely different goals. Specific-ally mentioned as this type of ex-tremist group was the John Birch Society. (3) Intolerance in America is the result of the belief that pos-srbly well-thought-out plans of ac-tion are necessarily absolute solu-tions, and the resulting attitude of those who have thought out the plan of action, that anyone who disagrees with it is wrong. If we would but realize that plans of action are not solutions we would likely be more tolerant of others' plJns, and learn to give and take more readily.

A chain of "becauses" may be drawn from the points made in this discussion: men kill because they hate; they hate because they are afraid; they a re afraid be-cause they are intolerant; they are intolerant because they believe that their plans of action a re ab-solute solutions.

Now in the light of this is Donia's statement that "we need to throw out those leaders who preach hat-red" a tolerant one or an intoler-ant one? Is he advocating a plan of action which allows a certain amount of tolerance, or is he pro-posing an absolute solution? Per-haps it is necessary to ask what he meant by "leaders".

Without showing himself to be an absolute bigot he could hardly have meant any group but an ex-

tremist group, i.e. a group whose extremity almost everyone is agreed upon. Say arbitrarily the Birchers (although their role as " leaders" is somewhat dubious!). Another statement in the same issue of the anchor said "Repub-licans . . . should harass (the John Birch Society) to death". This sounds so much like James I's threat to "harry (the Puritans) out of the land" that it is almost laugh-able. Both are advocating an abso-lute solution and neither one is be-ing the least bit tolerant. James was motivated by fear and hatred (he was also a very intelligent man). Are those who made the other statement similarly moti-vated?

I 'm no Bircher and I have little patience with them. Their stated aim is to keep the U.S. f ree from Communism, and if their actions belie itheir aims is it reason for intolerance on our par t? Do we fear them perhaps? The Bircher will be first to tell you that he feeds on our negative reaction to him and on our attempts to "throw him out" if for no other reason than that it puts him into the cat-egory of a martyr. Perhaps Donia's advocation to love—mixed with a little rational refutation of these "leaders"—would prove a better plan of action. Who knows: it might even be a solution!

Moturi Comments on Kenyan Freedom (continued from page 1)

has been assured for Kenya, the formidable task of promoting the economic and social advancement of the country will become a more manageable problem. The shout from 8% million Kenyan

throats as the country raised her flag at midnight on Dec. 11 will stir the whole of the huge, time-less continent of Africa. For color-ful, controversial Kenya—although coming relatively late in the list of Independent African states — has never lacked leaders whose voices have achieved much in the emancipation of Africa. Many people climb ladders; many more climb from worst to best; some move from misery to miracles; but Mr. Kenyatta's case is the most exciting one I have witnessed. Not long ago he was openly and publicly accused as "a leader of darkness unto death," by the Brit-ish. At this moment he has climb-ed his ladder and achieved realit-ies. The same British that, so to speak, painted him awfully have come to realize and recognize that he is the ideal man to lead Kenya. He has feeen empowered to be a leader, not of darkness, but of light, not unto death, but unto life. I am sure Kenyatta himself can sit down and say, "Forgive them. Lord, for they did not know what they were doing."

l i n y a is an exciting country! It is physically exciting, with its snow-clad, 17,000 - fool equatorial mountain; its great herds of wild animals ranging over wide plains: and the broad streets of its modern capital city, Nairobi.

Kenyan Future But Kenya's future is the most

exerting of all. Its leaders have already plunged into the heady task, set by Prime Minister Jomo Kenyatta, of removing the blights of ignorance, poverty and disease. It has an immense agricultural potential and its mixed African, Asian, Arab and European popu-lation has the resource and know-how to realize this potential. The great majority of these peoples of all races have thrown in their lot with the new African Government.

It is this exciting future which will loom large in the minds of Kenya's people during the three days of the Independance cele-brations — during the state occa-sions, the balls, the fireworks and, most of all. during the raising of Kenya's new national flag. Also, in their minds will be the inspir-ing new slogan, coined by the Prime .Minister during one of his earlier speeches — the Swahili word, "Harambee," which means, "Pull together." The Prime Minis-ter has also said that, if Kenya is to prosper, a spirit of national familyhood must be created, bring-ing all the communities together to work for a better future for all the people.

To most people overseas Kenya will be only a name — one of the strange, unknown shapes on the great map of Africa.

Facts about Kenya Hefe, quite briefly, are some

facts about Kenya which might create a clearer picture of the country in your mind.

Kenya is a country of 225,000 square miles which lies astride the Equator on the eastern sea-board of Africa. The country is divided into seven regions — Cen-

tral, Western, Eastern, North East-ern, Rift Valley, Nyanza and the Coast, with Nairobi, the capital, as an extra-regional area. The Indian Ocean coastline stretches from Somalia in the north to Tan-ganyika in the south.

From the hot, humid coastal belt the land rises gradually in-land through dry bush country to the savannah grasslands and the Highlands where rainfall is plent-iful. One of Kenya's most spectac-ular features is the great Rift Val-ley which runs from north to south 2,000 to 3,000 feet below the surrounding countryside.

On the western rim of the Rift Valley the land slopes down to the shores of Lake Victoria. The central part of the country is extremely mountainous, but a vast expanse across the north and down the eastern border is featureless desert or dry scrub with sparse grass.

A population census held in 1962 revealed that the total population is 8,676,000, of which well over 8,000,000 are Africans, with 182,000 Asians, 63,000 Europeans and 40,0i)0 Arabs.

The most heavily populated re-gions are Eastern, Nyanza and Rift Valley with over a million and a half each. Largest tribes are the Kikuyu, Luo, Abaluhya, and Wakamba. Of the Asians, about two-thirds are Hindus and the remainder Muslims, and there

is a substantial number of Goans. Education in Kenya is fully in-

tegrated at all levels from univer-sity down to primary schools. Al-though education is not compuls-ory for Africans or Arabs and only in the three main towns for Asians, Kenya has one of the highest rates of primary educa-tion in Africa. There are 6,198 primary and intermediate schools, 141 secondary schools, 41 teacher training colleges and ten technical and vocational colleges. The Royal College in Nairobi is one of the constituent colleges of the Univer-sity of East Africa and offers courses in arts, science and techno-logical subjects.

Nairobi Nairobi, 5,452 feet above sea

level, is not only the capital of Kenya but is the commercial hub of all East Africa. On the main railway line from Mombasa to Uganda, it is also the center of roads system. Its population is more than ten times that of the city of Holland. The second larg-est town in Kenya, and the chief

port of (East Africa, is Mombasa. The harbour at Kilindini is one of the most highly mechanized in Africa. Mombasa's population is 178,000. Other towns of importance are Nakuru in the Rift Valley, center of the Kenya Highlands; Kisumu, chief port on Lake Vic-toria and the commercial center of Nyanza Region; and Eldoret in the center of the Uasin Gishu, a busy farming district. All these towns are on the main road and rail routes from the coast to Uganda.

Coffee is Kenya's principal cash crop and exports bring in some $10,000,000 annually. Tea and sisal tie with each other for second place, accounting for about £4,000-000 a year each. Other crops of economic importance include py-rethrum, wattle, wheat, maize and pineapples. Kenya also has a large livestock population and meat and meat preparations, together with hides and skins, realize about £2,500,000 a year. The dairy in-dustry is worth about £4,000,000 a year, almost half of the produce being exported.

Industry Being predominantly tn agri-

cultural country. Kenya's industries are based on processing primary products and include coffee, tea and sugar factories. There are two cement factories and several for canning meat and fruit, and an increasing number of secondary industries. An oil refinery is being built at Mombasa. Kenya has few minerals of any economic signific-ance but Lake Magadi in the Rift Valley yields soda ash and salt, worth over £1,000,000 in exports.

Second largest source of Kenya's revenue is the tourist trade with between 40,000 and 50,000 visitors a year coming to see the country's wild life and scenery.

Great attractions to tourists are the seven National Parks which include the world-famous Nairobi National Park, Tsavo, the largest, which covers some 8,000 square miles between Nairobi and Mom-basa, the Aberdare Park. There are also several reserves run by African local authorities, includ-ing the famous Amboseli Reserve and the newly opened Samburu Game Reserve. A wide variety of game is to be seen in all these, parks, and the Nairobi National Park draws over 100,000 visitors a year.

Uhuru for Kenya is just the be-ginning; the ultimate aim is to form the United States of Africa.

Hope Represented at NASM Meeting; Educators Discuss Music Trends

The music department of Hope College was represented at the thirty-ninth annual meeting of tlw National Association of Schools of music by Dr. Robert W. Cavan-augh.

The general sessions this year-were held at the Palmer House in Chicago, on Nov. 29th and 30th. Hope College has been a member of the NASM since 1959.

The NASM has been designated by the National Commission on Accrediting as the responsible agency for the accreditation of all music degree curricula with specialization in the fields of ap-plied music, music theory, comp-osition, music therapy, musicology and music as a major in liberal arts programs. Its deliberations
