of hostility toward the United
States in Guinea, Ghana and the
United Arab Republic could have
been avoided.
O'Hara said us. abstention can
not be explained in Africa regard
less of the merits of American
reasons. BY abstaining in issues
affecting Africa, the us. has
been linked with France, Portugal
and South Africa, countries con-
sidered Objectionable by Africa.
The recent abstention Of the us.
in the proposal in the UN to end
colonialism can be used as a good
example, O'Hara said.
Such action on the part of the
United States breeds resentment
on the part of Africans, he added.
O'Hara was accompanied by
Congressman Michael A. Seighan
of Ohio, ASH. Canadian Of Miss
ouri, Charles c. Diggs Of Michigan
and William T. Murphy Of Illinois,
and staff assistant Russell DeBow
of Chicago.
The Congressman said DeBOw,
throughout the tour, talked with
Africans and observed conditions
to determine their needs.
O'Hara declared that regardless
of the merit of the us. Austen
ton of UN measures affecting
Africa, such action has been harm
full.
Despite the fact that our pres
tige Is low" O'Hara said, hopes
in Africa are high to the extent
that the picture will change under
Kennedy" He said the appoint
ment Of Gov. G. Mennen Williams
as assistant secretary of state for
African affairs has been interpret
ed in Africa as giving priority to
African issues.
Illustrating further the trend of
African nations moving away from
the US, O'Hara said that when
he met President Kwame NlSrumah
Of Ghana three vars ago he was
quite cordial. However, now he
noticed an air Of unfriendliness In
NlxrJImah toward America.
At the same time, O'Hara said
there still exists remnants Of a
friendly climate in Ghana. He said
the presence Of DR.. st. Clair Drake,
a Chicago educator who is present
ly working at the University Col
lege in Accra is a great factor in
helping to restore friendly
image of the us. in that nation.
OHara said a group Of AZ,
Americans equally divided between
Caucasian and Negro, Is working
in the remote regions to establish
friendly relations in Ghana.
The Illinois congressman said
incidents like the Little Rock and

while many problems exist in
Africa" O'Hara continued, "the
situation on the whole shows that
in many respects we are doing a
pretty good job" He said that
Afr1ca's internal problems will
have to be solved by Africans
themselves.
In this category he cited prob
lens dealing with tribal chiefs,
kings and numerous ambitious
leaders.
O'Hara said he was impressed
with the efforts on the part of
African leaders in Kenya to give
recognition to all groups, including
Asians and Caucasians as well as
Africans. This spirit Of tolerance
was impressive. African leaders

What happens when a bunch
of youngsters of a scientific
turn of mind descend on an out
door camp for a week? The
answer is great deal, as you
shall see.
The sixth graders of Superior
School. under the direction OF
their teachers, Stanton Downs
and Donald Reed, have long
had an interest in scientific
matters. They took this interest
along with them when they
went to the River Road Camr
recently. And they put it to
good use.
For instance, they brought q
barometer along with them
They watched it all week. The
needle held STEADY" from Mon
day through Thursday, and sure
enough, the weather was fine
during those days.
Then, early Friday afternoon
the barometer needle took a
nose dive of five points. They
knew that that meant rough
weather. And they got it-for-
tunately, only a brief squall,
but it moved in right on
schedule.
They also had some cameras
with them, and their teacher
had brought along a portable
clark room" for the developing
of negatives. And what did they
want to take a picture of?
Well. who has ever seen a
member of genus Mephitis
Mephitis-Mr. Skunk to you
up close, and considered it a
satisfactory experience? No
body, obviously. So the Super
ior School kids baited trap
and connected it to a camera
and flash bulb, and then went
away and awaited overnight
developments.
The experienment was a COM
plete success. There on their
negative next morning was a
very good picture of a River
Road skunk, and it was de-
veloped with their own equip
ment into a wholly satisfactory
and odor-free souvenir.
They also wanted to find out
if the changing color of leaves
in the fall was the result of the

New Reading
Is introduced

Rapid readers, slow readers,
and in-between average readers
are all benefiting from a new
type of reading program which
has been introduced into the in
termediate grades of the East
Cleveland schools this year.
Known as the SRA Reading
Laboratory, it consists of sew
eral sets Of reading cards and
booklets, which have been care
fully developed to test and i'm
prove each child's skills in this
very important subject.
There are four kinds Of ex-
ercises and selections. The first
kind builds power, which is the
ability to understand what the
child reads. The second builds
up his vocabulary, by starting
with the words which he knows
and skillfully adding to them.
The third set are called rate
building exercises, whose aim
is to increase the speed at
which the child reads, without
sacrificing any of his "power"
of understanding. And the
fourth, which build listening
skills, test a child's ability to
understand and react to mate
rial which is read to him,
rather than being read by him.
At Chambers School, extern
sive use is being made Of the
SRA Laboratory in a number
Of ways. In the regular class
rooms, Mrs. Berneice Wisecup's
fifth grade and Mrs. Nancy Sci
fert's fourth grade are placing
special emphasis on this type
of individualized training. And
in three special reading classes,
Mrs. Ruth Boone, an expert
teacher in remedial reading, is
using these techniques in her
teaching of slow reading
groups.
In this type Of instruction,
the child competes only against
himself, not against others. He
starts in where he is at the
time, and progresses as fast as
his abilities allow him to, be-
ing neither urged on beyond his
capacities nor held back to
wait for the others to catch up.
The program is already show
ing very good results, and even
more is expected of it in the
future.

squares and triangles of trans

Ann Banks at Mayfair School
these days. Without knowing a
thing about dodecahedrons, to
say nothing Of polyhedrons in
general, the children are COM
ing up with the most fanciful
shapes you can imagine. They
are learning that the more
regular" a solid figure is, the
easier it is to get it to stand
on level surface without tip
ping over; and in this way they
are approaching, quite without
being aware of it, the rigorous
and beautiful theorems of solid
geometry.
The average result of the
children's experiments so far
can be described as something
between box kite and Bleriot's
monoplane. Gradually they are
testing out more and more
elaborate pieces, and some of
them are "just around the COR
ner" from a really elegant
solid. When they do get there,
they will appreciate their
all the more; for
they will have arrived at the
end result all by themselves.

Thinks Baylor Greatest

Tommy has been what Laker
Coach Fred Schaus likes to refer
to as ths sixth mana first
string substitute, as it were-who
can come into the game fresh and
break it wide open. While Tommy
enjoys the rating given by his
coach, he would be happier if he
played more regularly. 1t is likely
that he will be able to do just that
this year, for Schaus is toying
with the idea of moving Baylor to
the backcOurt with Jerry West and
placing Hawkins and LaRusso at
the forwards with Ray Felix or a
substitute at center. This could
make the Lakers the fastest and
highest scoring team in basketball.

Elgin Baylor was the big star. It

question that he answered without

That's easy - Bob Petit of the

Negroes Fear Social Inactivity At
NOtre Dame

Negroes Fear Social Inactivity Al
NOtre Dame
asked Hawkins why it is that
so few Negroes have played for OF
even studied at Notre Dame, and
is there some unwritten policy
against the use of Negro athletes
He replied: "As far as I know
there has never been any discrim-
ination practiced against Negroes
If there was a policy Of discrim,
ination against Negroes I have
never heard about it,"
He said he believes there are
three main reasons why Negroes
have not gone to Notre Dame ir
great numbers: (D rigid require.
ments for admission (B average
in high school; (2) because OF
the fact that 50 few Negroes live
in the South Bend area, young
men are afraid of being isolated in
the community; and (3) because
it is an all-boys' school the social
life may be unattractive to the Ne
gro boy. Few Negroes attend the
all-girls' sister school, st. Mary's
College, which further casts a
shadow over the desired social life
of the Negro athlete.
Not Victim OF Being Negro
Hawkins is one of the few adult
Negroes who can truthfully say he
has never experienced the sting of
being a Negro. In Chicago he at
tended Parker High School, then
predominantly a white school" &"
Because his high school coach and
the Notre Dame coach had been
neighbors as children, Hawkins
was a natural for Notre Dame.
While with the Fighting Irish" he
never knew what segregation was,
for he lived in the dormitory and
on trips it was an understood pol
icy that there should be absolutely
no discrimination either in housing
or in eating establishments.
White Teammate Best Friend
Tom is justly proud of his Alma
Mater, and says that his having
been a student there has opened
many doors for him-socially and
economically.
He told me that his best friend
on the Lakers is Rudy LaRusso,
former Dartmouth star, whom he
roomed with during his first year
in the pro ranks. Rudy and I
have so much in common" he told
me.
Naturally 1 wanted to know
what Hawkins thought about FL
gin Baylor, the current Mr.. Bas-
ketball."
II count E1gin as one of my very
best friends, and undoubtedly the
greatest players in the game. Elg
