Tanganyikan Freshman Terms Life
At Big American University Strange
It's a long trip from Mwanza, Tanganyika to State College, and a native African finds
many things strange about life at a large American university. This was the view ex
pressed by Simon P.. Madete, an accounting major, beginning his first year in America.
Madete is one of 91 African students studying in the United States under the auspices
of the International Cooperation Administration, the Department of State, the African-

1 A member of the Sukuma tribe
;in Tanganyika, Madete said he is
(finding some American customs
rather strange. "For instance," he
;said. "in Tanganyika it is con
sidered indecent for girls to wear
shorts Men do, but never girls,"
he said.
He also said he was having
trouble understanding wh y
Americans shake hands so sel
dom. "In Tanganyika, evecyone
shakes hands on meeting," he
said. He added that not to shake
hands was considered rude.
However, Madete said that some
of his African tribal customs
:would be considered odd here.
"There are some customs which
we would like to lose," he said.
He gave as an example the cus
tom of never shaking hands with
one's mother-in-law or- touching
her in any way.
Madete has entered the Univer-,
sity with advanced standing be
cause of the extensive schooling,
he has had in Tanganyika. He ex-,
plained that in his country, one;
ordinarily spends eight years at
secondary school and another twos
yors at an intermediate school'
before attending a university.
Tanganyika, which is now a
British protectorate, will be
come independent in December.
Madete said he expects a peace
ful transition and a stable gov
ernment. "We are better off
than the . Congo and most na
tions in Africa," he said, "be

population is educated to some
degree,

Prexy Receives
Lefler of Thanks
From Midshipman
Although the midshipmen, of
!Annapolis suffered defeat at
the hands of the Nittany Lions,
they nevertheless appear
grateful for the reception ac
corded them by Penn Staters.
Two "middies" expressed their
gratitude via the U.S. mail. Prexy
recently received a letter from
Midshipman Second Class Peter
B. Savage.
It seems that Midshipman Sav
age "lost his hat" at a jam ses
sion in Pollock Dining Hall when
a ramburictious frosh borrowed it.
In his letter to Walker, Savage
expressed gratitude for the Penn
State hospitality and for the as
sistance he received from several
students in relocating his chapeau.
The students had replaced Sav
age's lost hat with one belonging
to a Penn State NROTC man and
had taken up a collection to de
fray the expenses of a new hat.
However, in the nick of time,
Savage's hat was recovered and
he started his bus ride to Mary
land with "hat in hand."
Savage concluded his letter by
saying, "The outcome of the foot
ball game was not exactly as he
had hoped it would be but it was
a hard and fairly fought contest
on both sides. I know the entire
Brigade looks forward to the next
meeting of our two schools on
the playing field."
Several fraternities also received
letters of thanks from the "mid
dies."
The letters expressed apprecia
tion for Penn State hospitality,
Penn State parties and Penn State
women.
