Tmo Mboya, chairman of thej
All-African People's Conference,
will deliver a "Report on Africa,"
at 4:10 p.m. Friday in Rackham
Auditorium.
The young African leader, head
of Negro interests in Kenya, is
secretary of the Kenya Federation
of Labor and a member of the col-
ony's Legislative Council.
He says he favors "undiluted
democracy" for the Kenya colony,
which has a population of six mil-
avor lion Negroes, 150,000 Asians and
55,000 Europeans.
Mboya, first achieved interna-
iste!
tional reputation as a leader in
the Mombassa dock strike of 1955.
He led the fight for a raise in
wages for the Negro dock workers
and won a thirty-three per cent
boost.
In 1957, Mboya ran for the
Kenya legislature and became the
first Negro in that body. He de-
feated an opponent who used the
slogan "Africa for Africans," by
arguing for complete democratic

equality for both white and Negro.
Mboya was originally educated
in the ,Kenya Negro schools and
became a public health worker in
the colony. He later studied in-
dustrial relations and political in-
stitutions at Oxford.
Mboya is touring the United
States under the auspices of the
American Committee of Africa.

School Sets
Open House
By BARTON HUTHWAITE
Plans for Engineer's Weekend
M.ay 7-9 are nearing completion,
public relations director Charles
Hildebrandt, '59E, said yesterday.
Sponsored by the engineering
school council, the open house will
include departmental exhibits,
lectures, tours of North Campus
and a host of other activities.
"Engineer's Weekend is mainly
directed toward the layman,"
Hildebrandt said. Visitors will be
able to tour larger laboratories on
North Campus, view the atomic
reactor in operation, and inspect
the various technical classrooms
on the central campus. Free bus
service to North Campus will also
be made available.
Include Model
Industrial displays include a
scale model of the Jupiter rocket,
a model of the breeder reactor be-
ing constructed near Monroe, and
the processing of natural resources
into fabrication products.
Engineering school e x h i b i t s
showing the various fields open to
the technically oriented student
will also be on display.
Visitors will be able to see a
pre-stressed concrete diving board
developed by the structure labora-
tories and weigh themselves on an
electronic scale calibrated by the
amount of deflection of a stand-
ard steel specimen.
May See Storm
The may also watch the space
physics lab track incoming Willow
Run Airport flights on radar and
view the formation of a tornado in
a storm vortex chamber.
Other departmental exhibits in-
clude a demonstration of a minia-
ture rocket by the aeronautical
engineering department, models
of highway construction projects
by the highway and transporta-
tion department, and computa-
tions of missile trajectories and
moon probes by the instrumenta-
tion laboratory.
"Approximately 42 exhibits are
planned as of now," Hildebrandt
said.

He called the use of a Westernm EXCITIN
similar to an allegory. By using a ROMANCE!
Western, the sponsor can allow
something "meaty" to be said,
rather than bluntly saying what
is ,on the writer's mind, which M.- M
might offend listeners. 4r' nt

He also attributed the popular- AUDREY ANTHONY

sions based on his prowess with a

In these Westerns, Rich ex-
plained, decisions of "right and FRIDAY
wrong" are made in a context of
black and white where the "WARLOCK"
'heavy" is completely in the
wrong and the hero completely in
the right.
Rich mentioned, however, that
not all Westerns follow this
stereotype, pointing to "Gun- f
smoke" where the hero makesmis-
takes, and the "villains" often are
partly in the right.
'U' Graduate
Rich, who graduated from the
University in 1948, is presently
secretary of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Screen Directors'
Guild. He is visiting the Univer-
sity as a TV consultant under a ..
grant of the Eli Lilley Co.
Commenting on University pro-
grams, Rich overflowed with
praise: "In my wildest imagina-
tion I never expected to find a
production output so varied in its
scope and so excellent in presen-
tation," he said.
