Lambert, dean of the College of Agriculture, is back at his desk after a three month sur vey of British territories in Africa. The dean said that he was "gl.id to get back home" after a 21.000 mile trip by airplane, car and rail through eight different Alncan territories. Then Dr. Lambert said that some progress in increasing agri cultural production and efficiency is being made in Africa. The need for more agricultural re search was apparent and the British are attempting to step up this work. Different From U. S. "Africa is so different from the United States that it is impossible to generalize on its agriculture." said Dr. Lambert. "Most of the farming is of the primitive peas ant type in which each family farms at most only a few acres and all of Ihe work is done by hand with crude implements." Contrasting farming1 In Africa with that in Nebraska, Dean Lambert said by our standards, the level of living there is in credibly low. The average cash income is only a few dollars a year. Demands though, are few. Clothing requirements are simple. Houses are built from poles, mud and grass in most areas and transportation is largely by foot. Dr. Lambert and his party re turned via I.ondon where they spent several days putting to gether their final report and recommendations. Kept Busy Dr. Lambert was kept so busy that it was virtually impossible to do any sightseeing. One excep tion was when his party was driven through the frame reserve near Nairobi. There they saw giraffe, zebra, several types of gazelle, baboons, ostrich and hartebeasi. "We also saw one group of 15 lions and drove within a few feet of them." said Lambert. "I need not say that we stayed in our car." J" Dean Lambert J After traveling 16,000 miles by air alone on every type of plane including bi-planes used prior to World War II the dean said that he was certainly glad to be home.

P's and student economic wel fare, he said. In reply to a question concern ing NSA's influence on the Doane College campus, Eggen said that the organization is "weak in Kan sas and Nebraska but we feel it is growing."
