Dr. McKay, director of the Program of African Studies at John Hopkins University, was well received and started the lecture with some rather interesting facts. According to Dr. McKay, Africa is a pocket of instability and. thus acts as a magnet to international.powers and unrest. It is exemplary of the complexity of international relations. The United.States,.Latin America, Europe, ail of which represent the western world, have approximately 20 countries within its. geographical boundaries as compared to the 40 found in Africa. The number has increased so rapidly over the past few years that the United States Diplomatic Service established seats in 16 African States in one year. . The lecture was centered around the four types of conflicts found in Africa: 1) conflicts within each African State. 2) between African States, 3) between great powers over Africa, 4) between the African States and the great powers. Diversified ramifications and explanations of each conflict were cited including coups d' etat, racial and tribal conflicts, refugee problems, ' non-alignment, distrust and the growing bitterness. The beneficial aspects of the Organization of Af- • rican Unity were explored as well as neo-colonialism, territorial disputes and idealogical conflicts. , In' sumary, Dr. McKay said that African States are radical by necessity, not by idealogy, for each state is striving for an economical equilibrium, a gigantic effort to improve their lot. If the United , States is a great nation, then it must have that quality of forbearance and patience in its dealings with the evolving African States; The lecture session closed with a few eager questions which Dr. McKay willingly and deftly anw- wered.

By BILL NAPOLI The problems of Rhodesia's desire for independence. and its impact on Britain highlighted the keynote address of Stetson's Fifth Annual Institute on Non- Western Affairs. Mr. Edward W. Mulchay, Deputy Director of the Office of East and South African'. . Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, spoke on "Rhodesia in Crisis" Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Mulchay first discussed the history of the determination of Africa. Between 1956 and 1961 a great majority of the European-African colonies had gained their independence although many western nations doubt the capabilities of the young nationals that govern these nations.. Thus the public has come to ask, "What are the factors or qualifications necessary for these colonies to emerge as nations?" CONGO LACKED READINESS The Congo is an experiment that has shown what can happen when a country does,not have, sufficient background for inde - pendence. The colonies of the United Kingdom have been given the chance to gradually take a more important part in governing their territories. In such countries as Ghana, independence has been more of a transition than a complete change of government. The peoples in these areas have shared the reigns of power with the British for some time before independence was actually granted. Rhodsia has not been neglected in this practice by the Royal Crown. In fact, Rhodesia has had more background than many of the now independent commonwealth nations. In 1923, Rhodesia was actually a self-governing • colony with its own parliament. While the Royal Governor remained, he was merely a figurehead to represent the queen. DIVISION OF LAND To prevent the colony's ex - ploitation by Europeans, the land apportionment act was passed which divided the coun-- try Into two distinct land areas, one for whites and the other for native Africans. Thus actual racial discrimination began within the colony. Through the production of tobacco, minerals, and the development of manufacturing, the area underwent great economic development. The growth rate between 1953 and 1958 was seven per cent, one of the greatest in- (Continued on Page 3) SUB-SAHARA AFRICA is the theme of this year's Non-Western Affairs Institute.

Co-chairmen Kathy Warthen and Kurt Hampp commented on . the innovations in this year's schedule in an interview with The Reporter this week.

Since the students, are the important factor on .any campus and since they are the real life of the campus, it is important that they be here and support their Homecoming. The only way, a school like ours can live and thrive is to have active alumni supporting a school-, they are very fond of. We are going to try to create the impression that we are interested in Stetson, too." Kurt and Kathy summarized unknown facts about several of the activities. Students are urged to attend the lecture by Dekle DeLoach Saturday at 1:15. The Stetson Room will be opened.to students at that time. The possibility of having well- known speakers in the future will - be determined by < the- support given Mr. DeLoach. TICKETS SELLING FAST Tickets for "The Town Criers" are selling like mad. This concert will not replace the annual spring concert and tickets are reasonably priced at $1 per person. The committee is greatly indebted to the Stetson Union Board for appropriating funds to help sponsor the concert. STUDENT CENTERED DANCE The Homecoming dance will be in Greek Week" style, featuring "The Shadows." Election of the host and hostess will- take place at the dance, so all or-. ganizations who are sponsoring candidates should turn out to vote. Host and hostess candidates will be asked to be on hand for "all events, and results of the election will be announc-' ed. Saturday night.- Women's Residence Halls will be decorated this year, through the cooperation of the House Council. Through this activity, the Homecoming , committee hopes to encourage dorm unity. The dorms will be competing , for 30 to 60 late minutes on a forthcoming weekend. •' BEDRACES AND POWDER PUFF In addition to their floats and '■ banners, each fraternity will pair up with a sorority to load a movable bed with as many girls as possible. The beds will be pushed to the soccer field and the bed holding the greatest number of girls will be declared the winner. Following the bedraces, the Panhellenic All-Stars will face the Independent League in a powder puff football game. It is hoped that in the future an independent women's organization will be formed to compete in activities such as this at Homecoming, Parents' Weekend,, and Green Feathers. Barbara Guyon will coach the Independent League and Kay Har- meling will coach the All-Stars. PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S CAR President Johnson's Lincoln Continental will be the lead car in Saturday's parade. The Committee has received tentative permission for the use of the car, which will carry FBI Assistant Director C. Dekle DeLoach, Stetson President J. Ollie Edmunds, and Student Government President Bill Schneider. "LURCH" MAYBE Another possible visitor will be Ted Cassidy, who stars as Lurch in "The Addams Family". Mr. Cassidy hopes to be on hand for Homecoming, but he cannot make definite plans until the last minute. The parade will also include several jet-powered NASCAR dragsters and floats by local merchants. The NASCAR races will be held next weekend and are expected to draw an additional 20,000 people to DeLand. The dragsters will follow the line up. For Saturday night's bonfire, students are encouraged to load as much additional firewood as possible on the Hatter Howl Bonfire. (Don't destroy University property for firewood.)

Participating students are encouraged to decor ate their cars. .To give the basketball crowd a more collegiate look, the committee asks that men-wear suits and women wear dresses and heels. The co-chairmen added these additional . comments:"In .the past, .we haven't • had a good turnout, of alums on campus. We want to set a precedent this • year by having' the best homecoming yet. Besides drawing more alums, to campus, the committee will have a. larger budget in the future. "In the years to come, many of, our graduating seniors wiU be wanting to come back for homecoming. Even if you're an older alum, you'll want to see a campus that is alive, and full of activity. If we all support this homecoming, we can insure even better homecomings in the future. Student, organizations have really cooperated with the committee, and this shows that when ■the students are united, they can do almost anything, they put their minds to. We ask for your continued support." MAJOR GENERAL WILLIAM C. BULLOCK, Deputy Commanding Gen- ; eral of the Third United States Army, . visited Stetson this week to confer with Major Hewlett E.
