OPERATION CROSSROADS AFRICA'
Riots, Felicity Mark Trip
Of Aggie To African Nation
By DAVID E. STILES
Special Writer
A near riot on the day of ar-
val quickly turned into a peace-
il and educational summer in
frica for A&M University stu-
>nt, James E. Ray.
The senior English major, from
onroe was one of 11 North Ameri-
ms to spend 10 weeks in Ugan-
s, Africa, building a mission hos
tel in conjunction with the
perations Crossroads Africa pro
ram.
A right-wing group awaited the
merican’s arrival in Uganda with
;gs, tomatoes and other debris,
jckily they were delayed when
leir bus broke down and the
ob adjourned to another demon-
tration on the other side of
wn.
“We were generally welcomed
the Africans,” Ray said, “but

our arrival gave the people an op
portunity to lash out against so
cial injustice in the United States.”
Uganda, which is located in east
central Africa, is one of the most
fertile and colorful regions on the
continent. The mission hospital
site, where Ray and the other
students set up headquarters, was
located at an outpost called Kisiizi.
Ray said they had been warned
that there might be an unfriendly
welcoming committee and admit
ted he was was a little nervous
during the 250 mile bus trip to
Kasiizi. “We had been called
spies and hypocrites and many
Africans were asking why we
didn’t stay home to help the
American Negro.”
There were also three newspaper
articles condemning our visit he
said. But after we had a chance
to meet the government officials,
we soon learned that there were
better times ahead.
The American group, which con
sisted of four girls and seven boys,
began work on the 80-foot x 25-
foot, 14-room hospital almost im
mediately. The construction was
from the ground up and included
clearing and leveling, laying the
foundation, bricking and roofing.
They were assisted by several dif
ferent groups in the vacinity. Pro

Pre-Vet Wives
Organize New Club
At Vet College
The Pre-Vet Wives Club met
recently in the Veterinary Hospital
for an organizational meeting.
Several wives belonging to the
Junior American Veterinary Me
dicine Association were there to
help organize this new Aggie
Wives Club. They offered ideas
and suggestions for running the
club.
The Jr. A.V.M.A. wives also
told how beneficial it was for
them to belong to this Veterinary
Society, which is the largest wives
club on the A&M University Cam
pus.
The next meeting of the club
will be held Tuesday at 8 p.m.
in Room 110 of the College of
Veterinary Medicine.
eral times while a group of mason
ry and carpentry students from a
nearby technical school were help
ing. It seems that as soon as a
job was satisfactorily completed,
an instructor would order it torn
down only to be rebuilt for further
practice.
Ray said they usually worked
six or seven hours a day for
five days a week. The weekends
were left open for visits to nearby
places of interest. He was amused
that most of the African students
working on the project got to see
their first elephant and hippo
when they visited a nearby game
reserve.
Most of the spare time around
the camp was either spent sing
ing or teaching the Africans vol
leyball and touch football. “Those
people have a natural sense of
rhythm and harmony that is al
most unbelievable,,’ Ray said.
The Americans slept in tents on
grass mats and straw mattresses
and ate the local diet. “We were
encouraged to eat their food and
adjust to their customs as quickly
as possible so we could win their
favor and confidence.”
The American students were
amazed at some of the miscon
ceptions the Africans have of the
United States. “They are unable
to realize how large our country
is”, he said. “They couldn’t be
lieve that we didn’t know each
other before we met to come to
Africa.” Many of the people al
so thought that the American
Negro spoke an entirely different
language.
Ray said that he thought the
most important benefit of the trip
was that he was able to learn
more about himself and his own
country while helping other peo
ple. “You can’t plan events too
far in advance on a trip like this
and you really learn to be inde
pendent, but still respect the ideas,
prejudices and customs of other
people.”
The students felt that they lost
a part of themselves as they left
the completed hospital after seven
weeks of devoted work. And the
Africans expressed their feelings
throughout the visit when they
brought food to the camp, looked
at the new hospital and said, “We-
bare mumonga”—Thank you very
much.
Who put the shopping center
in Mrs. Murphy's living room?
THE
YELLOW PAGES...
THAT’S WHO!
We did it... and we’re proud to
admit it. But we left out some
things. Like parking problems,
traffic jams, waiting to get waited
on, and finding baby-sitters... just
to name a few. But shopping
centers do have advantages, and
you’ll find them all right in your
Yellow Pages. Use them often.

’’RAISING” CHILDREN BY THE BOOK
We have a choice in America ... a choice denied millions who live
under godless communism.
Here is a man who is exercising that choice!
He believes that children growing up in the free world ought to know
the Author of Liberty. He wants his son and daughter to cherish and
embrace the spiritual insights God has given man.
This father introduced his children to the Bible
when they were very young. Today the Book of the
Ages is their friend. Tomorrow it will be their guide
through the frightening age to which they have
been born.
The American Bible Society — supported by
earnest Christian citizens and the churches they
attend — enables millions of families around the
globe to share our heritage of Truth with this new
generation on whose spiritual fibre rests the hope
of the world.
