Collegian Staff Writer
After spending three weeks in

a. Dr. Kenneth Weeks, the cam-
**■ coordinator, came away from

bunt tlu» progress of the project."
"It seems to me that the prog-
"*■ already made and the ground
urk wljlcji haa been laid for a
oatinuaUon of progress. Indicates
*■* future should be even nwre
foouaive."
Tbe college Is supplying a fac-

"•M and the Agency lor Inter-

rogram began last year at the

Or- Meeks pointed out that the

^ is la addition to th* regular

Hreks Visited Much Of Hudan
Dr Meeks visited most or the
cities In the Sudan where FSC
faculty members .re *•*»£
He said all the Instructors bsve
pretty well made the tran.itlon
to the foreign culture snd climate.
••Even as difficult as this may
have been for those of u. who
are time-oriented and suddenly
nnd ourselves in a situation where
people are not as "usdous o
time as we are." He noted that
tho Sudanese do not worry about
time and deadlines as much as
Americans doV-'.'That It not to

There Is lots of room."
he explained, 'Wil "
ture and all modern coi
found In this tosinuj."
Arabic is spoken in the Sudan,
but none of the personnel are
fluent In the language. "It Is not
a deterrent to the program, how¬
ever, since the people with whom
they Work such as principals Of
schools, directors Of teacher
training Institutions and ministry
of education personnel all speak
English as well as their mother
tongue," Dr. Meeks said.
"Some of our people, especially
the housewives, have had a need
to learn some Arable if for no
other purpose than directing the
activities of a cook and/or a
houseboy." One Of the (acuity-
member*. Martha D. Rohrer, haa
become fairly well acquainted
with the language and can eon-
verse with the Sudanese.
Hudan Diet Explained
Pood posed no problem for the
FSC "faff, as canned goods are
obtainable In most of the cities.
"Much of the diet Is built sxound
bread type of products made from
dura, a corn or grain-like plant,"
he said. "The Sudanese also con¬
sume a good deal or poultry. Tea
Is the traditional drink of tbe
former British colony and tea
breaks are common.
"Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola have
found their way Into the Sudanese
diets, too," Dr. Meeks said.
Customs Unfamiliar'
Dr. Louise W. Porch, profes¬
sor of home economics, went to a
market to buy liver and at that
time not being familiar with the
Sudanese money, held out her
hand with a bunch of coins for
the clerk to take what he had
coming, instead he slapped two
pieces of liver In her outstreched
palm.
Dr. Meeks said there ere indi¬
cations that the project wUl be
