From podium to proscenium was
the path of Nafe Katter, a grad-
uate of the University and pres-
ently a guest lecturer, actor and
director in the speech department
for the summer.
Prof. Katter spent his first three
years here as a political science
major and an active debater; his
senior year he was swept off his
feet and onto the stage under
the influence "of a fascinating
and inspiring drama course."
While doing graduate work in the
drama department, he acted in
over thirty local productions and

NEW YORK (OP)-Heavy spend-
ing for the war in Viet Nam is
squeezing civilians and industry at
home.
The Defense Department has
poured billions of dollars into the
nation's economy to buy uniforms,
food, bombs and bullets.
To meet the needs of the fight-
ing men in Viet Nam, some manu-
facturers have had to cut back
on production for civilians.
Shortages of men's clothing have
been reported by some depart-
ment stores.
Shortages
Factories note shortages of cop-
per, electronic and chemical pro-
ducts, machine tools, small motors,
forgings and castings, computers
and aircraft engines.

Britai~n Still oldsRemains of an Empire
LONDON (MP)-The British are
still shouldering the white man's
burden in scattered remnants of
their empire, and several million
of their colonial wards don't want
them to lay it down.
Freedom would have little
meaning except bankruptcy for
some islanders still under the
Union Jack in the Caribbean and
the South Seas. For the residents
of Hong Kong or Gibraltar, in-
dependence probably would lead
only to domination by neighboring
Spain or Communist China.
Since the war Britain has given
independence to about 700 million
people. Now only about 10 million
are left in 34 British dependencies.
In population, they range in size
from the 3.6 million inhabitants
of Hong Kong to the 86 on lonely
Pitcairn Island, where the mu-
tineers of the H.M.S. Bounty
settled in 1790.
Although the empire once
brought riches to Britain and
meant only a moral burden to
the white man, it now is truly a
financial burden only.
"Our remaining colonial terri-
tories, believe me, are not a ma-

terial asset. In terms of finance,
they are a heavy liability," Lord
Caradon, Britain's chief UN dele-
gate, told the General Assembly
recently.
In the past quarter-century,
Britain has budgeted about $1
billion in development and welfare
schemes in its colonies. In 1964,
the last year for which figures
are available, about $110 million
was spent-and the figure goes up
as costs rise.
In these figures lie some of the
reasons why remaining territories
do not want to throw out the
British. The British help balance
the budget and pay for long-
range development.
In some colonies, the British
also serve as political arbitrators.
In Fiji, for example, the popula-
tion is divided between Indians
and Fijians. Britain is devising a
constitution and system of local
self-government to help offset mu-

a chipped decal shows a grinning

The worm stands for Cuban

who want to recapture Cuba. Ex-
iled Cubans have adopted the
worm as a symbol of their oppo-
sition to Castro.
But Negrin is not going back

touches off phone calls between

But all the while the assimila-

Getting Out
But if the refugees worry about
their return, they face other prob-
lems of perhaps greater urgency.
One such problem is getting fam-
ily members out of Cuba.
Despite Castro's relaxation of
emigration rules, many persons re-
