NU BOUNCES OUT OF THE RED INK

The £inancial condition of the house

looks blacker this year than ever before,
which is to say that things looked a lot
rosier in the past, all of which is to say
that we' re out of the red and into the black
for what looks like a long time to corne.
We have enough men in the house to make
ends meet. Many of the outstanding re­
ceivables owed the house are being paid
off which ha s the uncanny effect of bal­
ancing our assets and liabilities.
Although it has taken a good deal of ef­
fort, I am now proudly able to announce
that all of the errors in the house records
have been rectified and the books have
b�en b ;-ought up to date..
Even though our food purchasing ser­
vice, C. F. M. A. has gone our of business, IT BEATS NOT WALKING

Jon Weber '74, Treasurer helped influence Albert Bowker to take
the Berkeley chancellorship. He and Mrs.
Bowker took up residence in University,

selves into the routine of campus life.

FBA TER IN AFRICA . • . . . • • • • • • . . . • • . • • . . • • • • . . • . . JON WEBER '74

By'a strange tU,:rn of events my summer vacation encompassed a trip to the Iv ory
. .
Coast of West Africa. My father joined the Peace Corps and was sent to Afnca whlch
gav.e me a chance for a trip to a cOuntry and a visit with people,who were far from
cornmonplace.
Fi:'ankaphone, West Africa is the Africa of Tarzan, jungles, lions, and elephants,
ana every contagious disease known to man. It is difficult to capture or express the
'
beauty that .is Africa. The natural environment alone is enough to awe ones mind. The
. color and richness of the scenery is deserving of every hyperbole Hollywood has fixed
upon it. But I found that the people themselves were far more interesting . , The culture
of the West African is positively intriguing. Though West Africa is developing an ,
u'iban culture and and u'r15an problems, the true African is most delightful outside the ,
city; there' they are generally happy and contented . On the other hand, West Afri<:: ans
are by no means politically naive. They are kept aware of the hcipp:eninfs of the re'st,
of the world through popular short'-wave 'broadcasts including th� B. B. C. J'h� politics,
oLWest Africa is as volatile as that of any trOUbled area of the world . ,
"But" in"'ordinary events, the approa'ch to life oLth� W'..est .AfrkanAs sD' alien" to,,,,,6Ul'_.. _�

way of thinking as to drive an American visitor franUc. The pace of African life is ,
'a blend of the French way of doing things, as inefficient and outmoded as it is, c2>upJed
with the West African's own brand of time-sense which,makes the latin culture's Man­
ana, ', seem rushed.
Nonethe1.ess", the worst part of my trip -yvas my: r�turn to Berkeley, for I found I had
