Wesley Foundation Plans Events
Three events have been planned for Sunday by the Wesley Foundation, Methodist student organization, at the Methodist Student center, across from the Memorial Union.
At 9:15 a.m. coffee and doughnuts will be served and follow with a discussion. At 5:30 p.m. supper will be served and Prof. Karl Edwards will speak to the Wesley Foundation Fellowship. The Grad group coffee-mixer program will follow at 6:30 p.m. in the second floor lounge of the center.
Spotss near radiators and bright sunlight are poor places for book shelves. Heat and light will fade the covers of books and often warp their 'bindings.
Coed Spends Summer Touring Africa
A summer in Africa was a variation from the usual summer of working and resting that most University students spend. Mary Jo Hayck, education senior, traveled for two months in Africa and toured eight countries.
Mary Jo traveled with a group of 28 other tourists. She said one of her most unusual experiences was an audience with the emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie. After much protocol, she was introduced to the emperor who was dressed in military uniform and spoke French to the group.
Her trip was not purely one o. sight seeing, for when she completes two term papers, she will receive six hours credit for her summer experiences from the San Francisco State college. Three hours will be in humanities and three in geography.
Mary Jo renewed an acquaintance with Joyce De Vos, a foreign exchange student from Johannesburg, South Africa, who attended the University from 1953 to 1954. They attended an Italian opera in Johannesburg, and Mary Jo found the city quite similar to large cities of the United States.
Another unusual experience was her visit with a witch doctor, Dr. Khoto Sethuatha, of Koksaed, South Africa. She said the small native dressed in a white robe entertained the group in one of his
five homes as 50 native boys sang and clapped their hands outside the house.
The doctor is famous for his herb medicine for curing diseases. He treated the group to one of his best beef steers, and she said she had never seen so much meat in her life.
A visit to an ostrich farm was another unusual experience Mary Jo told of. She said souvenirs were made from the eggs and feather dusters from the plumes. She also visited a diamond washing plant, gold mine, and copper mine.
When she was in Pretoria a cold wave hit the continent and the temperature fell to 24 degrees. Many of the natives wore overcoats and were barefooted. She said they were all quite friendly and seemed anxious to develop tourist trade.
The wild animals of Africa are all in game parks or preserves. She saw lions kill two small deer at the side of the tour cars. She also saw giraffes, lions, elephants, and rhinoceros in the game parks.
Mary Jo said the Congo was the only jungle-like part of Africa she saw.
