University dedicated to the spirit of learning Africa University exudes enthusiasm and school spirit. In converted farm buildings of a rural mountain valley in Zimbabwe, where its first agriculture and theology students attend classes, dedicated minds are proud to be part of sub-Saharan Africa’s first private and international university. Here, hope for the future of Africa and the joy of learning, embodied by the university’s educators reflects in the faces of theirstudents. Although the faculty and staff represent different nations, the experience in seeki ng university degrees, despite all odds, is shared

“It is not a place where violence should be tolerated,” Jude said. “Students fighting students, and physical harassment of students and teachers is totally out of place in the schools.” According to Jude, he originated the bus monitor idea for the township because of behavior problems with students. His wife, Amy, a monitor herself, says unfavorable behavior is not the only thing wrong with the school system. “There should be Black History, not just in the month of February, but all' school year,” Amy said. “But my husband and I both are concerned with all children and their education, and it’s been that way from day one.” Jesse believes more multiculturalism should be implemented into schools throughout the year. . “It’s time we come together to bring about a positive change in education in order £er all children to have the opportunity to develop their potential as productive citizens,” Jesse said. “It’s time for everyone to be aware that the problems we’re encountering is not one of a racial nature, but one of a people nature - the future of all children is at stake.” Larry Smith II, an alumnus of Southport High School and parent of 7-year-old Donesha, a student at Clinton Young, feels the tpwnship lacks representation of people of color at all levels, and especially within the administration “Perry Township receives an excessive amount of tax dollars from Blacks,” Smith added. “But Blacks do not benefit in nearly the proportion that residents of the township do.” JuH« Scott Candldat* for the At-Large School Board aeat Age: 31 Occupation: Architect for Eli Lilly Company Educational Background: Earned a bachelor of architect degree from Howard University.
