Star editor gives talk
Charles W. Gusewelle, Kansas City Star editor.al writer, was speaker Saturday afternoon at the first anniversary meeting of the KU African publication. The meeting was held in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Using "Editorials On Africa" as his topic, Gusewelle told the student group that more than the Atlantic Ocean separates America from Africa.
Gusewelle said that the Kansas City Star has run 103 African editorials in the last 11 months compared to only 35 on England and France since 1964.
THE UNITED STATES is a provincial nation, Gusewelle declared, with most Americans knowing of Africa only from books.
He attributed misunderstandings, bias and hasty generalizations of Africa to American ignorance, declaring that editorial comment on Africa can serve as a realistic education.
While only a fraction of the people read newspapers seriously. This minority remembers and places judgment on what it reads, Gusewelle said.
"WE MUST LEARN the folly of making absolute judgments," he said, pointing out examples of African comment where the Star had made correct or incorrect judgments.
Swaebou Conateh, Gambia senior and managing editor of the monthly publication about Africa and African students, gave the first annual report.
He spoke on the hostory and policy of the publication which is now printed on an offset press and has steadily improved.
"We have passed through the most difficult part and hope to see further improvements and a permanent publication," Conateh said.
Student able to give grant
Any student or faculty member can nominate a teacher for one of the three Standard Oil Award Grants of $1,000 for teaching excellence.
James Gunn, administrative assistant to the Chancellor, said that no special form is necessary for nominations.
"ALL ONE HAS to do is write the name of the faculty member, his department, and his title on a piece of paper and submit it to Provost James Surface by April 17." Gunn said.
The Standard Oil Awards are given regardless of rank, service or level of teaching.
Recipients of the awards are selected by a seven-man committee which includes two students selected by the student body president.
The awards are part of a $5,000 gift given by the Standard Oil Co. (of Indiana) Foundation, Inc., to honor teachers and to assist prospects of faculty development.
African, Arabian, Argentine British, Nationalist Chinese Dutch, Japanese and Fersian poetry were read. Most of the selections read centered on man and the beauty of nature.
Faridoun Farrokh, Iran graduate student, who read the selections from Persian poetry, said that Western readers enjoy the creative art in poetry from other parts of the world but they miss the suble associations with the society.
Surendra Bhana, South Africa graduate student, recited a radio monologue titled "The Harp."
RECITATION OF PLAYS and story telling were also part of the poetry program.
THE TURKISH SENSE of humor was expressed by Engin Artemel. Turkey graduate student.
Artemel said, "humor is also an expression of culture." International music punctuated the entire program.
"I believe that if poetry is an expression of people's culture,"
Cheryl Halstead, Mankato sophomore, sang the song, "People," while Susan Taylor, Wichita junior, played the piano. Other types of music included Indian mouth music, Thailand guitar and vocal songs and a Chinese love song.
University authorities have urged that the flag towers on New Fraser Hall are off limits to students.
