Student-to-frosh
Advising Planned
A student-to-student advisory
program for freshmen is being
planned for the fall semester
as an outgrowth of General 201
discussions held this semester in
the College of Arts and Sciences.
The program will be adminis­tered
t Ia r o u g h the Arts and
Sciences Student Council.
Pollyanna Bealmear. Univer­sity
Educational Advisor • has
emphasized that this new pro­gram
will in no way conflict
with, or attempt to replace, the
present faculty advisory system.
"'This new system will be ad­ditional
advising for freshman;
we hope it will compliment the
present advisory facilities,'' she
said.
The Co neil is soliciting ap­plications
from students inter­ested
in serving as advisors next
fall. Paul Peterson. Nola Kiefer,
jane Harmon. and Steve Kime
are in charge of the program,
acting under the Student Council.
Requirements for participation
are a 1.5 average and approval
by the faculty and administrative
staff of the College of Arts and
Sciences. Departmental heads
and the Dean's office will have
application blanks available next
week. Applications should be filed
by Friday, june 9.
The program hopes to enlist
one advisor for every fivefresh­men.
The time required to par­ticipate
will be approximately
two hours a week. Assignment
to freshmen will be by major
field of interest.
The following objectives have
been outlined: to assist the new
• college student in the transition
from high school to college; to
assist faculty advisors in their
attempts to effectively advise
incoming freshmen; to serve as
a capable and willing source of
information which is easily ac­cessible
to the freshmen; to ease
the burden of Freshman Orien­tation.

Neutrality Aim
Of New Africa
"Africans want to like Ameri­cans,
but racial incidents have
brought mistrust," said Phillip
H a r s haw, "Courier-Journal"
staff writer, in answer to a ques­tion
by a member of the Inter­national
Relations Club. Harshaw
spoke to the group Tuesday after­noon
in the L i b r a r y Lecture
Lounge about the situation in
Africa today.
Harshaw has just returned
from a 2 1/2 month tour of
Africa sponsored by the Rocker­feller
Foundation. He explained
that neutraism is the official
policy of the new nations; they
want to stay out of the cold
war and resent being forced into
it.
Harshaw stressed Ghana and
Nigeria in his talk as the most
vigorous of the new nations. He
also expressed an opinion that
a rift is developing between these
nations, which is unfortunate
since '"they are in a position
to help each other a great deal."
Commenting on Mennen Wil­liams•
recent trip to Africa,
Hawshaw said, "I don't think it
was of any particular use be­cause
he was so tied up with
off 1 c 1 a 1 engagements that he
never saw the real Africa."
Harshaw said the overall feel­ing
is hopeful for Americans in
Africa. He feels the U.S. embas­sies
are better staffed and are
doing a more effective job.
Harshaw's tour started on the
west coast of Africa, at Dalcar:
then moved across Nigeria to
the Congo. This tour was his
second; he first visited Africa
5 years ago.
