African program promotes affairs
Underway this week is a program designed to promote understanding of the relationship between the United States and Africa.
"Africa: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" is a study of the aspects of geography, history, economic development, education politics and prospects of the emerging continent.
The program has arisen out of the Student Union Activities (SUA) World Affairs Week last November. During the week, the theme was the United States' relationship to other nations.
This program, which is to become an annual affair, is unique among universities, Georges Bokamba, Congo senior and chairman of the program, said. With the exceptions of Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., the University of Wisconsin and the University of California at Los Angeles, no other university has a comprehensive program in African studies.
KU has a few courses which discuss Africa, but none dealing with the continent exclusively, Bokamba said.
U.S.-Viet battles kill 103 Cong, 27 Americans
SAIGON — (UPI) — U.S. Air Cavalrymen engaged North Vietnamese forces in three separate battles in Quang Tri province, killing 103 Communist troops, U.S. spokesmen said Wednesday.
The fighting raged in Quang Tri Tuesday while 2,000 elite South Vietnamese troops cut North Vietnam's key supply line in the A Shau Valley and weathered a classic enemy ambush on a jungle-sheatbed road. The South Vietnamese had been helicoptered into the enemy stronghold.
The American air cavalry units lost 27 dead and 219 wounded in their three battles with North Vietnamese troops.

March to dramatize plight
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Rev. Ralph David Abernathy said today he is confident the poor people's march on Washington he is leading will yield "constructive results" in persuading Congress to act on new job, housing and antipoverty programs.
"I don't know when Congress has acted on social legislation without some type of pressure," he said. "We certainly are not going to try to use physical force to coerce Congress."
