HIGH POINT, N. C. -
A student attending High
Point College, whose home
is thousands of miles
away, was named the
“Outstanding Male Resi
dent Student” for the
1972-73 academic year.
He is Alfonsus Obayu-
wana, a biology major
from Benin, Nigeria.
Alphonsus has the
reputation on campus of
being very inteUigent. His
father told him; “To fail to
prepare is to be prepared
to fail.”
“I’m not very smart,”
Alphonsus admits mo
destly. “I just work hard
and I always prepare
because I don’t want to
‘prepare to fail’.”
What’s outstanding a-
bout Alphonsus? Read
what those who know him
have to say;
"He is conscientous
about his work,” said Dr.
Leo Weeks, his adviser
and professor of biology
at High Point.” "He goes
beyond the requirements
in the field of biology. He’s

noted that Alphonsus is

called for a hnkage into

"Not only is he strong
academically but he is
personable and gets along
well with everyone.” said
Dr. John Ward, assistant
professor of biology.
"He has a respect for
