Florida 33314 SCARLET AND BLACK Page Seven Dr. Ronald Kurtz Returns From Liberia To Discuss conditions all Gutlington Cuttington College' IS a private church related, liberal arts college located 120 miles inland from the capital of Liberia. Built on tribal land purchased a cen- tury ago by one of the American Colonization Societies who were returning slaves to Africa, Cuttington is thought to be the only American-style liberal arts college in sub-Saharan Africa. About one fourth oF its 250 stu- dents come from African coun- tries outside Liberia. Sinre 199-3 the Associated Col- leges of the Midwest has been sponsoring a program to give its graduates the opportunity to serve as teaching assistants at Cuttington and to give its faculty members the chance to serve on the Cuttington facility. Cut- tington students can study at ACM colleges in preparation for American graduate schools. The college has always had limited financial resources, part- ly because the Liberian govern- ment and USAID give onlv limited support to the church» related school. The college receives a few donations, but the bulk of its support comes from the Episcopal church, w. s. aid agencies, and the ACM program, which has been supported pri marily by the Eord Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and by faculty grants under the Fulv bright-Hays Act. Although many large American universities have affiliations with larger African Universities, none had bothered with Cuttingtnn. Dr. Ronald Kurtz, Associate Professor of anthropology at Grinnell, spent the last two academic years at Cuttington under a teaching and research program sponsored by the ACM. During the first year he taught at the college, but he devoted the second year entirely to field re— search. Kurt: said that it was sur- prisingly easy to adjust to living and teaching at Cuttington.

He was quick to point out that the college community was some- what isolated from the surround- ing peoples, a bit like a colonial compound. This was the dif- ficulty in adjusting. The social structure expects a certain kind of relationship between faculty mernbers, most of whom are white, and the natives of the area. Mr, Kurtz thought this a little awkward. For example, “every- one was expected to hire local help in the household and not to pay more than a certain amount of money for the services." “A man can, however, obtain something of great value in a context he may not like. I thought that Cuttington was a very good college." One of the great satis- [actions for Kurtz was the op— portunity to deal with such a wide range of students. There were Children of tribesmen and of some of the elite families of Africa all attending the same college. Many tribesmen were doing excellent college-level work, partly because of the good training they had received from missionaries before coming to Cuttington. All the students were very challenging, freely questioning many Western ideas about politics and education. Mr. Kurtz added that Cuttington is doing the best it can to make its college education relevant to Africans 7 more African and fewer European History courses, a greater emphasis on African writers in literature courses, and in general a greater emphasis on African culture and African problems. This is a much dif- ferent approach from some of the European type schools on the continent, which maintain unr alloyed European curriculums. Cuttington is not affected by the kind of corruption, e.g. grade buying. which the University of Liberia in Monrovia is just be- ginning to overcome; Many of the foreign students who attend Cuttington are re- ceiving aid from the United States government under a program which allows them to attend school in another African country. The Africans generally prefer this to sending students to Europe or America to be trained, because often the best talent never returns from over- seas to developing Africa where it is badly needed. One of the biggest problems Cuttington College faces is related to the sparsity of trained men in Africa. Although the chief administrators at Cuttington are Liberians, the faculty is predomi- nately white and temporary. The faculty therefore has little sta- bility. The college recognizes that the long-run solution is to recruit Africans to the faculty, but since there are many challenging ca- reers available to a college trained man in Africa, this is CUTTINGTON— Contlnued on page 9 AT THE IOWA BARBER SHOP GRINNELL‘S NEWEST AND FINEST 724 5th Ave. You get exactly whdtyou ask for or you don’t owe us anything! * razor curling 1k hair styling * hciir straightening MARVIN HURLEY —— GARY KNUTSON
