Overcome with A&M's
spirit and traditions,
an African
actor/student finds a
world of difference
between his
hometown and
Aggieland
By Terri Welch
The Battalion
A n internationally ac
claimed black actor from
South Africa has become
an Aggie.
Rapulana Seiphimo, a fresh
man theater arts major from
Soweto, a black township near
Johannesburg, decided to attend
Texas A&M for its ethnically di
verse theater program. But it
was the university that found
him and not vice-versa.
Dr. Roger Schultz, the profes
sor-director who instituted mul
ticultural theater at Texas A&M
in 1985, recruited Seiphimo
through the African Arts Fund
(AAF), a non-profit support
group in New York.
"Multicultural theater in
volves selective casting of indi
viduals of various ethnic back
grounds in roles traditionally as
signed to Anglos," Schultz said.
"The objective is to enhance the
play's meaning by creating char
acters of greater depth and more
resonance."
But Seiphimo has experi
enced much more than just the
theater in his first month here at
A&M.
"I went to the L.S.U. yell
practice and game," he said. "I
never imagined so many people
coming together for such
It was strange, but fun."
Aggie traditions
are not the only dif
ferences between
Seiphimo's life in
South Africa and his
life in Texas. English
is now a part of every
aspect of his activi
ties.
"I learned English
mostly by talking to
other people who ■ ■
spoke it and by talk
ing with the white people in
South Africa," he said. "But we

my culture would be considered
immoral."
For example, people here call
out a name and mean come here
by wiggling their finger toward
them. Seiphimo said it is consid
ered very rude to use a gesture to
call someone in his culture.
“I am used to seeing lots of black people.
It is kind of scary on this side and there is
a tendency here to be more loose about
things that in my culture would be
considered immoral.”

high school to learn every sub

Seiphimo has spoken so
much more English than he is
used to that he said he has even
started dreaming in English. His
native language is Tswana, used
in the general area of South
Africa.
Having to grow accustomed
to seeing and hanging around
with so many Anglos and learn
ing the culture are part of these
new experiences for him.

"You can't say just 'Hi' to

problems before settling down."
These differences are funny
to him, but Seiphimo said he is
adjusting and going along with
them as time goes on.
