Aid, scholarships benefit Africans
By EMMANUEL AKUCHU
American technical aid and scholarships are the best help America can contribute toward the economic development of Afrika.
That is the opinion of the Rev. Edmund Y. Tawia, stewardship secretary of the Ghanaian Evangelical Presbyterian church.
Tawia spoke on the economic and political developments in Africa Tuesday in the Kansas Union. His primary focus was Ghana.
TAWIA SAID THAT teaching Africans American techniques is better than financial aid alone.
The aspect of American aid to be stressed, he said, is not only to build the roads and dams but also to train Africans to be engineers. More teachers such as the peace corps volunteers should be encouraged.
Another phase of aid which Tawia says would be effective is the awarding of scholarships for study at home and other countries as well as in America.
AFRICA HAS BEEN long known as the dark continent not because of the people's dark skin but because of a lack of knowledge of the continent's interior. This void is due to navigational hindrances, such as mountains,
A teach-in discussing U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday at Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg, Fred Mitchell, assistant professor of history at KU, told the UDK.
Speaking of Ghana, Tawia spoke of the country's regained economic stand following the overthrow of President Khrumah in the military coup d'etat in February, 1966.
big rivers and dense forests, he said.
With the coming of modern technology, Tawia said some of the physical barriers have become economic assets. The rivers are being harnessed and dams are being built to provide electricity and water for irrigation.
Tawia attributed the fall of Nkrumah to two causes. He said the president was attempting to rapidly augment economic development while pursuing personal ambitions. In so doing, the people of Ghana suffered for his personal glorification.
KSTC plans Viet teach-in
Mitchell said a state department official who supports U.S. efforts in Vietnam and a university professor who protests it will participate in the teach-in. An audience poll will be taken before and after the event.

REALISM HIT a high point with Karl Sternheim's comedy, "The Trousors" 1911, which attacked German national symbols of the Kaiser State. Inspired by Ibsen's theory of "putting life itself on the stage" the last years of the Kaiser state produced a revolution of the arts. "This occurred

only in Germany and can be called the German syndrome," Kropp said.
"The writers of that time" said Kropp, "were geniuses who celebrated everything that was new, much like Americans do. They were impressionists."
Out of this movement evolved the expressionism portrayed by Sternheim's, "Mr. Mask," the first play where man was no longer an individual but an image, and Bertold Brecht's, "Baal" of 1948. "Baal," said Kropp, "was Germany's most powerful utterance of expressionism."
KROPP BELIEVES that Brecht was basically a bourgeois all his life, hiding behind a mask of proletarianism. It's Kropp's theory that a dramatist's duty is to discover truth and then "dress up his findings in a forceful play."
"A continuous error in the German theatre has been its inability to face up to reality," said Kropp. "During the Nazi era phony metaphysics replaced reality," Kropp added.
"DURING THE 1950's when political tabus cropped up with new wealth Germans were once again having problems facing reality." Kropp said. Max Frisch and Friedrich Duerrenmatt, both Swiss, emerged as the best German language playwrights.
Kropp disapproved of the documentary plays such as those by Peter Weiss. "There is no dramatic action," he said, "Weis relies on tricks and shock effects, especially in Marat Sade."
