PAGE EIGHT African Frosh Devotes Time to Questions, Texts i What with answering questions about whether or not Africans still live in trees, and trying to digest all the ma terial offered in a 10-week term, Almonzar Maiga has been busy. A freshman in livestock and meat production, Maiga came to the University from Malja, Africa. Maiga's education is being spon sored by the African-American Institution. He spent the first term at New .York University, rgeistering at Penn State in the winter. He said that he has had no trouble adjusting to the Amer ican way of life, but did find it hand to make friends at first. “BOTH SIDES were wrong,” he .eaid, in speaking of the difficulty he : had meeting American stu-! dents. "Neither knew what to ex pect of the other, I guess,” he added. I Malia is on the west coast of Africa, directly south of Algeria. It achieved its independence in September, mitted to the United Nations shortly thereafter. In explaining his; country’s government. Maiga said it is what is termed “African ■ socialism.” He said thatihe prefix is added because the government ~is based solely on African econ omy. "Our motto is Africa first,” he said, '"and "this is why we have no definite foreign' policy. We are neutral.” J - Continuing to talk about Malia, he’ said it has formed a union with Ghana and Guinea.
