Couzens Hall
Team Wins'
WAA Honors
A Chi 0's To Challenge
'A' Tourney Champions
In Volleyball Playoffs
No matter who wins the WAA-
sponsored volleyball tournament,
it will be Couzens Hall.
This rather ambigious situation
has come about because two teams
from Couzens are competing for
first place in A tourney finals.
Seeing action in the A semifi-
nals were Chi Omega vs. Couzens
I and Mosher II vs. Couzens II.
The latter was a very close game,
with Couzens II edging out a 22 to
21 victory.
After a somewhat slow start,
the tournament got into full swing.
Teams losing their first game went
into the B tourney, while the win-
ners entered the A tournament. A
loss in the second round of games
put a team out of the competition.
Forty-seven teams entered the
annual t o u r n e y, representing

ano solos by Barbara Gotz and Sal-

flute trio with Jean Horten, Char-

mitories. Some housing groups had
two or more teams.
Those participating in the B
semi-finals included Alpha Chi
Omega vs. Victor Vaughan and
Delta Gamma vs. Yost House.
The B tourney finals were very
close, but a strong Alpha Chi Ome-
ga team defeated Yost House with
a 22 to 19 score.
The end of the tournament is
not yet in sight, however, because
B tourney champions have already
asked for a challenge match with
the runners-up of the A tourney.

WITH THE FATHER ALREADY IN CUSTODY, THIS KIKUYU
FAMILY WATCHES THE STRIKING FORCE RAIDERS DEPART
By SID KLAUS
Special to The Daily
NAIROBI, Kenya-Two or three
times daily a string of trucks
loaded with troops rumbles out
from behind the barbed-wire gates
of a tent encampment not far
from the New Stanley Hotel in
downtown Nairobi, to hunt Mau-
mau in this modern, nervous East
African capital.
In the past six months these
raids, conducted by the Striking
Force of the Kenya Police, have
become routine operations.
They consist of small-scale repe-
titions of Operation Anvil, the
huge Mau-mau clean up campaign
conducted last April by the Brit-
ish Army and the Kenya police.
A small section of the city is sur-
rounded by the troops, the houses
within the area are searched, and
all the inhabitants are screened.
Those without identification pap-
ers are carted off to a detention
camp.
Prisoners Interviewed
There a loyal Kikuyu tribe board
interviews the prisoners; the ones
said to be "hard-core" supporters
are interned at one of the four
huge guarded settlements outside
the city.
The raids seldom last more than
an hour, and are usually carried
out without violence.
The Striking Force, which heads
the mopping-up operations is re-
sponsible only to the top echelon
of the joint army-police command.
It is manned by hand-picked Af-
rican troops, representing every
Kenya tribe except Kikuyu, and
staffed by five British officers.
Police officials estimate that the
raids will be continued on a daily
basis for at least another six
months.
Mau-mau Support
Mau-mau has found its greatest
support among the more than one
million members of the Kikuyu
tribe of central Kenya. In an ef-
fort to halt the further spread of
terrorism, the British government
has resorted to a widespread use of
its police powers. Since the begin-
ning of the emergency, more than
30,000 Kikuyus, almost one-third
of Nairobi's African population,
have been arrested in the city, and
removed to the settlement camps.
A full-scale war, complete with
tanks and bombers, is still being
waged against an organized group
of Mau-maus north of Nairobi, but
within the capital itself, a shaky
calm prevails. The largest problem
now facing the city dwellers is the
winning over and re-education of
the Kikuyu youth.
Meanwhile the uneasy day to
day life of Nairobi continues. And
even though some local citizens
claim their city is now safer than
London, and though the variegat-
ed strollers along the Queen Eliz-
abeth Way no longer bother more
than a glance as the Striking
Force rolls by, milady's handbag
continues to appear suspiciously
heavy, and a black holster peek-
ing out from under a blue blazer
remains the accepted fashion.
