AFRICA AS A CAREER Students who will be graduating from college next June would do well to begin considering Africa as a piece to 'let down their buc kets." By the time commencement ce remonies begin next spring at least 15 new African nations will be standing with open arms to re ceive the aid and instruction young Negro college graduate can give to them. There will openings available for all qualified persons. Teachers, doctors, lawyers, farmeis, engi neers, technicians, what ever you have to offer will be accepted. The pay will be good, the chances for advancement wUi be exceptionally good and you will have the thrill of knowing you are making a con tribution where it i« most vitally needed. * , A few of our recent college ■ trained men and women have seen this , vision and have answered its cail. But the need has in no ways been satisfied. In fact, with the coming independence of so many more African states, the need foi this trained personnel is so great that a large percentage of all of ; those who will be graduating next spring, could be placed without filling the gap Ir< view of the many advant- j Ages involved and the sure and certain chance* of reward, may we urge college administrations instructors and teachers te talk te their students about this im portant matter.
