AFRICAN STUDENTS TAKE ACTIVE ROLE
IN CAMPUS LIFE AT AMERICAN SCHOOLS

COLLEGE CAMPUS LEADERS
Two African students attending U.S. universities who have found that participation in student activities makes friends for themselves and generates greater interest in their countries and Africa are Maurice Yewah, Oaunde, Cameroon (above) and Allesane Ouattara of Upper Volta (right).
Maurice Yewah is seen with two friends, James Sanborn, Covina, California, and Robert Knudson, Seattle, Washington, on the campus of Occidental College, Los Angeles, California. Mr. Yewah plans to teach after earning his degree. He is a leader in campus activities at Occidental College, where he was president of the freshman class and an organizer of folks singing groups.
Allesane Ouattara is a business administration major in the College of Business Administration of Drexel Institute, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mr. Ouattara was vice-president of the freshman class at Drexel. He is also a member of the Marketing Club and a committee member for Business Administration Day, an annual event sponsored by students majoring in that subject.

FUTURE DIPLOMATS
Nine Northern Rhodesians, eight men and one young woman, are preparing for a career with their country's diplomatic corps in the School of International Service of American University, Washington, D.C. The course is taught by the Hon. Loy Henderson, former U.S. Ambassador to Iran and to India. Emphasis is placed on practical methods of conducting diplomatic negotiations. Left to right in the photograph above are: Isaac Mumpansha, Mark Chona, Emmanuel Mwamba, Vincent Nsomi, Hosea Soko, Joseph Mwemba, Gwendolyn Konie, Lazaras Mwanza, Peter Matoka, Dr. Abudul Said and Mr. Henderson.

DELEGATES TO HUMAN RELATIONS MEET
Five African students from Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana participated in a conference sponsored by the South Carolina Council on Human Relations at which race relations were frankly discussed. Over 125 students from 16 universities and colleges in the southern state of South Carolina attended the meeting. The African students also formed a panel during one of the sessions to present outlines of African problems and to answer questions.
The top photograph shows Miss Josephine Musau of Kenya and Kwame Ackason of Ghana continuing discussions while walking with two American delegates to the conference.
The bottom picture shows the African students during the seminar on Africa. Left to right are: David Bruce-Tagoe, Ghana; Milcah Mbithi, Kenya; Papa Yan Amparbin, Ghana; Josephine Musau, Kenya; Martha Akpan, Nigeria; and Kwame Ackason, Ghana.

WINNING FRIENDS
Rajaona-Andriamananjara of Tananarive, Malagasy Republic, is winning friends and doing extremely well academically at Princeton University according to Bradford Craig, the foreign student adviser.
"Rajon," as he is known by his many friends, was selected to attend Princeton University by the African Scholarship Program of American Universities because of his excellent record at the Lycee Gallieni in Tananarive, and his superior record at the English Language Institute of the University of Michigan. Economics is his major and he is seen in the bottom photograph with his economics professor and other students during a class held on the steps of a classroom building.
