HoIyoke Students
Comment On STAY
At Negro College

Greensboro, N. C. - "For the
first few days / was afraid to
even mention the word Negro.
Then the doors seemed to OPEN"
That was the comment of one Of
six young white women, students
at Mount Holyoke (Mass.) Col
lege, who spent the last two weeks
here as guests of Bennett College
and it's student body of Negro
women.
The six students and one of their
teachers were at Bennett under an
academic exchange program. Six
Bennett students were guests at
Mount Holyoke last year. Bennett
also has had short-term exchanges
with Sarah Lawrence, Ohio Wes-
leyan, and Skidmore Colleges.
Ellen Aikenhead of Belmont,
Mass, one of the Mount Holyoke
students, tells of her reaction:
"For the first few days / was
afraid to even mention the word
Negro. Then the doors seemed to
open and I've had many frank dis
cussions with the Bennett girls
since. | was surprised to learn
that so many Negroes are content
to live in the South. / suppose I
always had the idea that what we
offered in the North was better.
zone girl asked me about seq
regation in the North and I told
her that we certainly have it but
that it's more subtle thing"
Anne Donovan of Longmeadow,
Mass, another of the Mount Holy
oke students, commented:
"We had all met the six Bennett
girls last year when they visited
our campus. We're all rooming
with Negro girls. We've been
treated with real hospitality and
invited to teas and dances"

tions. Australia had contributed
in this way more than $40,000,000
to the International Bank for Re-
construction and Development. It
had also contributed about 81 $780,
900 for Congo aid and would con-
tribute about 100000 more this
year. It's initial contribution un-
der the new African assistance
plan would be about 100000.
Australia voted more than S12,-
100000 last year to the Indus
Basin fund agreement. With about
100000 acres under irrigation,
the Indus Basin scheme comprised
the largest irrigation in the world.
Under Colombo Plan training
awards, Australia was educating
almost one-quarter of all the stu
dents of Colombo Plan countries
who had moved overseas for pro-
fessional training. At present,
there were about 10000 Asian stu
dents in Australia, Though not all
these were receiving assistance un-
der international aid.

aid in Africa was announced as
Britain's Defense Chief, Lord
Mountbatten, arrived in Australia
to discuss, among other things, it
was understood, an increased mil
itary contribution by Australia to
the effectiveness Of the Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization system.
Lord Mountbatten's mission fol-
lowed from a recent revision OF
British defense plans which en-
phasized the increased Importance
of Southeast Asia as potential
international trouble zone.
AS increased military contribu-
ton by Australia, these revised
plans need not be limited to pro-
vision of more ground troops or
air lsquadrons.
Australia had the facilities for
training troops in tropical combat
and from time to time this ques-
ton had been raised here with
regard to troops of SEATO mem
Der countries.
In emphasizing the Importance
of Communist China's military
power the recent British white
paper on defense had indirectly
emphasized the Importance OF
utilizing and developing the re-
sources of countries such as Aus
tralia which were comparatively
close to Communist China.
With Australia now taking closer
direct interest in African coun-
tries, development, it would be diff
ficult for the Australian Govern
ment to deny the necessity Of tax
inc a closer direct interest in thu
protection Of its immediate Asiar
na;ohbors. In that context Of in

Smith was critical of the Amer

the U. S. pour its money for At

He theorized that if American

Last Wednesday was the begin
ming Of the Lenten Season, so /
decided that would ask around
and find out just what my friends
had given up as a sacrifice. It is
customary for US to "give up some
thing that we really love, other
wise it is not considered q sacri-
fice". Well folks, it came to me as
no surprise that the Lenten Sea-
SON had no serious effect on my
friends. Most of the things that
they had decided to give up were
the things that they wanted ITO
rid themselves Off. For instance,
one girl wanted to give up "ten
pounds of fat around the middle.
Now isn't that terrible!
l put forth every effort to ex-
plain to them the real meaning
of this Sacred Season.. I guess I
must have failed because a Cos
motologist land / said that to
make her feel good) on the cam
pus gave up styling my hair"
Now really don't see how that
could be sacrifice, Another girl
gave up dating, and doesn't even
have boyfriend. I just couldn't
seem to get through to her that
you cant possibly give up some
thing that you don't have in the
first place" One friend told me
that she had given up "ice cream"
because she needed to lose some
weight anyway. One fellow said
that he wanted to give up Study
ing" but somehow his Teacher
didn't agree with him. I guess the
teacher thought it would be too
much of a sacrifice. Another fell
low said "Well, / guess I will give
UP wearing my roommate's cloth
es". "Now that is what / call a
real sacrifice because if he car
ried out this plan, he would have
to stay inside the rest of the
school term" says his "thinly clad"
roommate. A freshman said that
she was giving up might Clubs"
and her pal said "The only night
club that you have ever been in
is the YWCA club meeting at
seven o'clock at night. Well, l
say that l was not going to get
any place with that group so
decided to check on myself to see
what sacrifice l can make during
Lent. After thinking about it for
some time, I've finally come to a
decision. II am giving up water
melons. See you next week folks,
that is if you haven't "given up
your reporter" after reading this.

Africans Urge
Action To Prevent
Strife In
n, Rhodesia

Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia-An
African Nationalist Party has
asked the Governor of this tense
British protectorate to take imme-
-diate steps to prevent racial strife.
l Kenneth Kuanda's United Natl
yonal Independence Party (UNIP)
asked Gov. Cir Evelyn Horne Fri
day might to take the action. The
request was made in letter.
The appeal came as white Re-
serve Army soldiers were carrying
out riot exercises and drilling with
automatic weapons. Some 5000
white troops have been called up
and issued arms in Northern Rho
desia and Southern Rhodesia, a
self-governing British colony.
The letter said protection was
needed Gin the event of white
troops provoking our people or
going into action to further the
federal government"
The Rhodesias and Nyasaland
averaging 81 and Is respectively,
Grafton, headed by Prime Minister
Sir Roy Welensky who opposes
Britain's plan to grant Africans
in Northern Rhodesia's legislature
greater representation. Africans
now occupy eight of % seats.
Sir John Moffat, leader of the
Northern Rhodesian opposition
Liberal Party, said if Sir Roy at
tempted to declare the federation
Independent of Britain he would
be guilty of thigh treason" as well
as an illegal and unconstitutional
action.
Sir Roy has completely doomed
the federation no matter what
happens in the future, Sir John
said.
Sir Roy seeks to keep the gov
eminent of Northern Rhodesia in
the hands of what he terms ere
sponsible people," as well as main
tain the federation.
African national leaders also OPP
pose Britain's latest proposals, but
on the ground they do not go far
enough.
Southern African External AZ
fairs Minister Eric Louw said
Friday in Cape Town that South
Africa and the Rhodesias must
stand together to preserve white
civilization" in Africa. South
Africa, which maintains a strict
policy of racial segregation, bor-
ders Southern Rhodesia.

Dominion Party chief William
Harper told a mass meeting that
he thought Southern Rhodesia
should pull out of the federation

his notion about the matter,
and what changed my mind and

said that there was a whole lots
worse kinda talking than talking,
and talking, when you don't know
much bout what you's talking
bout, he went way round the cor
ner as a lotta old folks do before
he got to the crust, but when he
finally drove up to it there was no
misunderstanding of what he was
Citing at and what he finally
arrived at was something that
might be causing Aine Haggars
