He is one of eleven students attending school in the United States under the African Scholarship Program of Amer- ican Universities. In speaking to Father Lenahan’s American Problems class, he gave a brief history of his country and explained its colorful flag. The rest of his talk was broken down into government, language and education of the Cameroun s. Since Cameroun was taken over by the French and English after World War I, its govern- ment as an independent country is a combination of the two systems. It has as an assembly, a president, a vice president and two prime ministers. There are two otticial languages, French and Eng- lish. Though it is not neces- sary at present to know both Mr. Akor said that perhaps in the future both will be “native” tongues. The educational system like the government is pat- terned after those of France and England. Primary school lasts for eight years, secondary for five years with two years of advanced level training after which a student may receive a general certificate of education. Success in exams sent from Europe de- termines whether he will continue at the university or not. The Peace Corps has been so warmly received in Cam- erounj Mr. Akor said, that his government has requested more of this aid. He also indicated that the government is very anti-communistic. It has banned party membership and stopped most of the ac- tivities. Giving his impression of America, he stated that most American films shown in his country are westerns and as a result many people think this is the situation in America today. He was amazed by the New York skyscrapers and commented that it is difficult to imagine such buildings. He also spoke of the differences in speed. It seems to him that people in America are in too great a hurry. When Mr. Akor completes his education he will return to Cameroun to apply what he has learned in an effort to aid his country.
