^^Inti-C^oionist Sentiment
(Maudes (Chaotic (Condition
An additional chapter in the sorry history of the decoloni-
zation of the African continent- was written in the United
Nations last week when the United States sided with the Afro-
Asian and communist blocs in passing a resolution calling for
the immediate end to colonization in the world.
Colonialism has become a dirty word for the world, and
because of the agitation caused by the communist influence the
term has become synonymous with slavery. To hide their own
colonialism, Russia has kept the spotlight of world opinion on
the aUeged colonialism in Africa.
§bubtlessly, all nations should be free to determine their
own destinies, but before they are given this self-determina-
tion these nations should have the training to determine these
courses to their best interests. The debacle in the Congo is an
example of what can happen when an unprepared nation is
suddenly given its independence. The history of Congolese
independence is replete with mutinies, murder and disunity.
The most recent move of the world reformers has been
pointed toward Portuguese Angola. There is evidence to indi-
cate that what has been pictured as a struggle of an oppressed
people to free themselves from the iron heel of Portugal is in-
deed a bloody manifestation of tribalism. The evidence further
indicates that this strife is being agitated by communist
influence. ^
The United States should not be affected by this ersatz
world opinion, but its policies should be formed on the basis
of more careful investigation. To go against its old allies and
be swayed by the sentiment against colonialism can lead to
chaos.

INCREASING SPEED is one of the purposes of the reading
machine which Miss Gayla Taylor, freshman from Waco, is
using in the library. This machine will also help a student to
achieve better comprehension. —Staff Photo by Larry Rosser.

Two of the most exciting arid
talked-about motion pictures in u
long time will debut in Fort Worth
over the Christmas holidays. Flow,
er Drum Song arid West Side Storv,
both movie versions of hit Broad-
way musicals, are scheduled for
downtown.
Advance reviews in national pub-
lications for both of these movies
have been tremendous when most
movie version of Broadway musi-
cals have been panned.
The showing of Flower Drum
Song will be an advance showing
for Fort Worthers, who will be abU
to see the staged version thi
spring here at TWC.
Nancy Kwan plays the lead role
of this very American play which is
loaded with Oriental splendor. Her
"I Enjoy Being A Girl" routine
in the picture done in front of
four mirrors is hailed as the show-
stopper.
West Side Story is the touching
and exciting story of New York
street gangs, set to music and
dance. Leonard Bernstein's Scow
and Jerome Robbins' action lose
nothing of their original vitality
in the movie, according to advance
reports. Two of America's great,
est stage achievements now on
film for Fort Worth audiences to
view around Christmas time.
Coming up . . . The annual Wes-
leyan Singers Christmas concert,
which is ahvays beautiful and in-
spirational. Dr. Howard Skinner
directs . . . TWC's annual presen-
tation of Messiah.

indicated that the reading matter
should not have too many words in
it that are not known by the reader.
"To illustrate handicap of
reading material with unknown vo-
cabulary material," Dr. Einspahr
remarked, "one might take an arti-
cle and every so often insert the
Russian equivalent for the words.
Perhaps." he chuckled, "a Rus-
sian might enjoy it."
To read with speed, Dr. Ein-
spahr pointed out. one fixes his
eyes on ideas rather than words.
The reading machine enhances this
ability by covering the material
that is read at a given rate. The
screen that cover this material is
adjusted on tiie machine.
