To the Editor:
Well Bill Fenters, timeouts only
drag out a game? I agree. So does
playing the fourth quarter instead
of going home. Do I know much

"It's not a matter of quitting. It's
a matter of pride and knowing
when the game is totally over

census is that I'm critical of the
team. This isn't true per se. You
recognized that the game was
over, Bill. So did 1 and so did tl?
team. That's not my gripe at all.
* My point is simply that when the
team packs it in there's no point in
pretending it isn't over. But if you

devotion. It was to these hyperfans,
those who would rather I give
my seat to a "true fan" (I didn't
see a lot of you true fans at the N.C.
State game by the way) to whom
my criticism was directed. I hope
tnat clears tnings up. to put it
simply, it's time for "super fans'
to get off the back of those whc
place realism above blindness.

Africar
By UDUAK JIMMY MBOHO 1

The Europenas colonized
Africa for centuries and got the
best out of the continent. In the
history books, they wrote that
they went to "civilize" the
"heathens." To the Africans it
was exploitation. The
Europeans partitioned Africa
into different colonies to make
their exploitation safe and
secured. They indoctrinated
the minds of the Africans with
European ideologies, and
created artificial boundaries
among indigenous com
munities. To have a general
idea on the European economic
intentions in Africa, one should

tapped. The outposts were
linked by roads wide enough
for the transportation of raw
materials from the hinterlands
to the coast. With the attainment
of indenendence hv
the African countries, road
transportation increased
sharply and the old colonial
built roads became "deathtraps"
and not highways. The
Bible forbids putting new wine
in old skins, warning that they
would burst. This shows that
old and outdated roads should
not be expected to serve
modern transportation.
Today the Africans are
beginning to build better roads
for themselves, such as the
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
under construction, to mention
just one. These better road
communications are beginning
to cross national frontiers in
the spirit of brotherly African
unity. Tne same spirit brought
about the formation of the
Organization of African Unity
(OAU), The Economic Community
of West African States
(ECOWAS), and The East

African Economic Community
(EAEC). The Africans are
beginning to seek cooperation
with thpir brothers across thp
artificial boundaries created
by colonization. This is why we
have international routes, like
the Tan-Zam Railway, which
links Tanzania and Zambia.
There is a proposed West

link Nigeria with her sisters
along the West Coast of Africa.
SOME YEARS AGO Nigeria
and Kenya agreed in principle
of build a Trans-African Highway
from Lagos (the capital of
Nigeria) on the Atlantic Coast
to Mombasa (a Kenyan city)
on the coast of the Indian
Ocean. The Highway is to pass
through other African states
starting from Lagos through
Cameroon, Central African
Republic, Zaire, Uganda and
end in Mombasa. It shall be
modern in all terms, and is
needless to enumerate all the
benefits Africans and nonAfricans
will derive from such
a gigantic cooperation.

note that (1) a standardized
vehicle and highway
regulation shall be established
and used in the six countries;
(2) vehicles will load and
unload across national fron
tiers with less difficulty; (3)
immigration redtape that
travelers going from one
country into another normally
encounter will be reduced.
Such reduction will surely
make it convenient to travel
and do international business
without mucn aao. it should be
added that the building of such
a road and the relaxation of
frontier laws will promote
tourism, which a country like
Kenya depends upon heavily
for foreign exchange.
