There the natives dig holes to trap animals instead of using guns, said Tom Gillis, who recently returned from his third safari in Africa. Gillis, a 1942 graduate of Texas A&M University, and his wife Frankie spoke to about 70 people Thursday night in The Memorial Student Center on hunting and tak ing pictures in Sudan, Kenya and South Africa. His lecture was spon sored by the MSC Travel Commit tee. The slide show Gillis presented il lustrated the everyday lifestyle Afri can natives have. He said the na tives are very similar to The Ameri can Indian in their tribal system. One tradition some Africans still have is that men buy their wives for $25-75. The annual income per per son is $20, Gillis said. “If you’re not satisfied, 20 years later you can take her back to her father and get a full refund,” Gillis said. There are few paved roads in Af rica and they last only for maybe two miles into the jungle, Gillis said. Since practically none of the natives own cars and only one in 20 owns a bicycle, most of the natives walk. Gillis estimated he walked more than 250 miles on his last 28-day safari in Africa. Gillis said the natives he visited still hunt for their food. He said everytime the natives hear gun shots they come running because they usually know something has been killed and want the meat. While the Gillises were in Africa they killed elephants, water bucks, hippopotamuses, lions, zebras, cape buffalos, gazelles and baboons. They also ate what they killed except lion, which he said didn’t taste good, and a 20-year-old elephant. “My son cooked that elephant meat for 28 hours in our oven range and it still tasted like shoe leather,” Gillis said. They traveled as far as they could on the roads in a diesel-powered Toyota with his guide and driver. In Sudan a government employee is required to go with any hunting ex pedition to make sure all the game laws are observed. The Gillises went to Kenya only to take photographs. “I strongly recommend a photo graphic safari since it is like going to an outdoor zoo,” Gillis said. Tourists can’t hunt there. “The animals are totally oblivious to you as long as you don’t get out side the vehicle,” Gillis said. This was obvious when the audi ence saw a slide that was taken 15 feet away from a lioness. Now you can call 32 people without even knowing their phone numbers.
