He has been a member of sever al major geological and geophys ical advisory panels and has served as chief scientist on ocean ographic research cruises through out the world.

Varner & Sons Jewelers North Gate 846-5816 By Hayden Whitsett Battalion Staff Writer “I think America has played a good role, especially in the for eign aid to the developing coun tries of Africa,” said Awori Ka- taka, an African student delegate to the SCONA VX conference. Awori, as he prefers to be called, is one of three African students brought to A&M to at tend the SCONA XV on “Black Africa: The Challenge of De velopment.” Awori was President of the Student’s Union at University College, Nairobi, Kenya. He is an English literature major and hopes to become a journalist when he graduates. He is 25 years old and takes keen interest in international af fairs, especially the role of the United States in world affairs. His father is a peasant farmer. Awori is a long, langy Ken yan with the classical African features that are associated with his part of Africa. He comes from a small town called Kaka- mega. When he speaks, his whole body moves to emphasize his in flections. His speech is colored by a British accent that carries African overtones. Speaking of United States for eign policy he said, “I think the aid given by America through the AID program has been a great help to Africa, although there have been a number of ac cusations against the United States aid being given with strings attached.” “We watch for that,” he said, “we have had bad experiences in the past with strings attached to aid from the U.S. and Great Britain. When Russia gives us aid, she give it with a number of conditions previously stated; when the U. S. or Britain gives us aid they say no strings are attached, but they appear later.” “I think Africa is definitely going to become more self-suf ficient economically,” he added. “Economic independence may come but it depends on the course pursued by the respective gov ernments,” he continued. “There may he examples of in dustrialization in Africa hut most people are involved in sub sistence farming. I think the effort to become economically independent will have to come from these people, the grass roots of Africa. Unless the de velopment includes these people it isn’t going to be meaningful.” He also spoke of the role of the white man on the continent: “The white presently in Africa is there because he has a con tract or a specific service which is badly needed,” he said. “The whites have learned a lesson. They know that when dealing with the African they should deal with him as an equal, not as a small child they can pat on the shoulder and talk down to,” he added. On the subject of black na tionalism in the U. S. he has very strong and definite ideas. “I support them all the way,” he said. “Looking at the history of the black man in America and all the world I think he has been treat ed very roughly. It is only now that the black man is beginning to come into his own. The very fact that he is a human being should tell anybody that he is entitled to his rights. The Amer ican Negro has realized no one is going to give him his rights and that he is going to have to fight for them. And I think that I support them.” Speaking of both American and African blacks in relation to the white man he said, “As time goes by I think we will learn to live side by side.” Awori compared African stu dent unrest with the American variety. “We had some trouble on our campus last January when I was president of the Student’s Union. We decided not to go to class because we felt the government was interfering with our aca demic freedom. We invited a member of the Opposition Party of Parliament to come speak to use and they certainly weren’t going to help. So it was decided that we wouldn’t go to class un less the college was closed.” “In the end five of us were suspended, I was one of them, but we were later re-instated.” “There is quite a difference though in reasons for protest ing,” he said. “In Africa an ed ucation is very hard to obtain and very important, and, since most of us are from very materially poor families, we value an edu cation more.” “Also, after leaving school, it is up to us to work and see to it that our brothers and sisters re ceive the same opportunity for an education that we have,” he said. ‘Curate’s Play’ Begins Monday The Aggie Players’ Christmas gift to the community and A&M students, “The Curate’s Play,” opens Monday for four appear ances in Bryan and College Sta tion churches and the All Faiths Chapel. C. K. Esten said this year will be the first time the annual Christmas presentation has been scheduled on campus, with the idea of doing it for Aggies. The Aggie Players director announced “The Curate’s Play” will be presented Monday in the A&M Methodist Church, Tues day at the All Faiths Chapel, Wednesday at the First Baptist Church in Bryan and Thursday in the First Baptist Church of College Station. Curtain time for each perform ance is 7:30 p.m. “The play is a deeply moving, modern re-telling of the Nativity story,” commented Robert Wenck, director of the 23-member cast play. He said it was written for St. George’s Episcopal Church of New York City but is equally effective in presentation for any denomination. Since the 40-minute play is available to churches at no charge, admission is free, Esten pointed out.
