Former president to speak about leadership in Africa
A worldwide known political pioneer visits the University of Kansas today. The African Studies Resource Center has invited
cape Cape Verde President Antonio Monteiro to speak from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
Monteiro was the first democratically elected president in Cape Verde, a republic located on a string of islands off the western coast of Africa. He also allowed a democratic transition in the nation's government when he left office.
Craig Pearman, office manager for the center, said the Boston University African President Archives and Research Center made the visit possible.
"Having a real-life, in-the-flesh
former politician would give us some insight as to what a president of an African country is thinking and maybe how the democratic things proceed in an African country with election processes and a peaceful transition," Pearman said.
The center focused its seminars this semester on the question of leadership in Africa.
After Monteiro's speech, the center will play host to Student Night at the Spencer Museum of Art from 6 to 8 p.m., which will feature a performance by the Kansas University African Drumming and Dancing Ensemble.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE KANSAS-MISSOURI GAME BEING PLAYED AT ARROWHEAD INSTEAD OF LAWRENCE THIS YEAR?
CALEB BLAKESLEY Ottawa junior
"You're missing an atmosphere here at the University, but I'm going to be playing in the game, so I think it will be pretty exciting to play at Arrowhead. There will be a lot of people there, and it's going to be a vital game for the season."
STEPHANIE RHOADS Wichita sonhomore
Wichita sophomore "Since we've been doing so well this year, I think it would be better for the fans to be here. I know that it (picking up tickets with friends) is not fun because there is always that one straggler that didn't get their tickets in time."
CHANDLER MAXON
Topeka freshman
"Ireally wish that it could be in Lawrence because it would be so much easier to get people there, and there would be more fans. But at least it is close enough that people can still go."
LOGAN MILLER
Champaign, Ill., freshman "I think it is good just because it's at a neutral site, but it takes away a bit from the college atmosphere Playing at home gets the players riled up a little bit more. When you play at Arrowhead, you don't have that home-field advantage. It seems like a little bit more of a distraction."
