He is working on the thesis entitled “A Critique of Polygyny in West Africa.” Among his extra-curricular activities are soccer, tennis, swimming, track and cricket. As a free lance journalist he has made a good start, having contributed articles in the Crisis, Journal of Negro History and some British magazines. He is one of the crack student reporters on the campus and he is noted for his fairness and ethical considera- tions in the reporting of news stories. “Zeke” is still dreaming of a Ph. D. and may yet get it. He is not a woman hater at that for he has correspondents of the fair sex almost everywhere! He is a son of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. 18
