seemed an endless procession of shiny automobiles, bustling people, and booming factories. New Orleans, the home of jazz, the French Quar- ter, and Basin Street, was a huge, busy city. His committee ofwelcome took him to the YMCA and there he stepped into a telephone booth and called San Francisco State College. Hello, said Nwaeze, I'm in New Orleans. Can you pick me up? No one had thought to mention to him that New Orleans was about 2400 miles from San Francisco. The flabbergasted college authorities gave Nwaeze instructions to board a continental train to Los Angeles. Nwaeze dutifully boarded the train for Los Angeles, California. There he stepped into another telephone booth to call State College in San Francisco, this time only 450 miles awa Hello, l'm in Los Angeles. Can you pick me up.

I want to help my people and my country. The method doesn't matter so much as the doing, he said. But the doing requires an education. Should his plans for an M.D. degree fail to materialize, Nwaeze, thinks that he will major in some field of natural science--again with the thought of helping his people. There is no doubt in the minds of his many admiring friends that when Nwaeze leaves the U.S.A. to return to his people in Nigeria, he will take with him all the skills he came here to acquire plus a greater y.
