Reed To Decline
Loans From NDEA
Portland - tt'PP - President
Richard H. Sullivan of Reed
College says the school will
not accept National Defense
Education Act student loan
funds for the present academ
ic year.
Sullivan said discriminatory
requirements "not consistent
with the clearest principles of
a'cademic freedom" were at is
sue. He said the faculty vote
on the problem was close.
Sullivan said the school
might accept loans in the fu
ture since it is possible factors
may be changed.
He said an effect of NDEA
provisions "is to impose dis
criminatory requirements on
student recipients of federal
funds that are not imposed on
other citizens who are bene
ficiaries of federal programs."

Rome - IUPD - A prince lives
in a six-room house that has
neither electric lights, tele
phones nor running water.
His name is known around
the world. Thousands cf peo
ple in his own country look
to him as their protector and
people kneel to kiss his ring
wherever he goes.
He is Laurean Cardinal
Rugambwa, who not only is
the Catholic church's first
and only Negro Cardinal, but
also its poorest. As a Cardi
nal, he ranks as a prince of
the church.
"Outside of my country."
he says, "I am a mendicant
who holds out a hand for all
the needy of my diocese.' j
Named By Pope i
Cardinal Rugambwa, now
in Rome for the Ecumenical
council, is a tall, thin man of j
50 who was projected into ;
world prominence March 28,
1960, when Pope John XXlIlj
named him to the sacred col
lege. !
A striking figure in his red .
cap and bright Cardinal's
robes, he symbolizes for many I
the universality of the Calho-j
lie church. He is well known
in the United States, where j
he has visited several times
Alter serving several years;
in the missions, Rugambwa j
came to Rome to study Canon
Law at the College for the
Propagation of the Faith.
It was a broadening experi-'
once, to say the least. He had
never before seen a house of .
more than one story, an air
plane or more than a half doz-l
en white people at one lime. !
Was Poorest
Rugambwa stayed at the
College of St. Peter the Mar
tryr which is on the Janicul
iim Hill overlooking Rome
and the Vatican, he was the
poorest priest there.
He made no mention of his
financial condition. But a
Chinese student who knew
of his plight went to the por
ter of the college one day and
told her that his friend Ruga
mbwa was without shirts.
Without saying anything
the porter went out and
bought material and, taking
Rugambwa's m e a s u rements
by sight, set to work and
made shirts for him.
When she gave them to
him, she said jokingly: "You
can pay me when you be
come Cardinal."
Rugambwa was in his Utile
house in the village of Ruta-
immediately it was a letter
announcing an appointment
of some sort because he had
seen similar announcemenls
in the past come in the same
type of envelope.
But Rugambwa had to visit
two very distant parishes that
day. He put the letter down
without opening it, hopped on
his motorcycle and rode off
amid the banana trees.
On his return that evening
I he saw a car belonging to a
Canadian Bishop, Msgr. Al
fred Lam-tot. parked in the
village square.

has added 20 others, together

He has brought his people
a long way - but he has come
a long way himself in a short
time.
As a boy In his native vil
lage of Bukongo, Laurean
Rugambwa - whose surname
means "future celebrity" in
the local African dialect -had
never heard of Ihe Roman
Catholic church. His religion
was the religion of the native
sorcerers, who taught him the
necessity of offering sacrifices
to evil spirits.
All his aspirations centered
on becoming chief of a vil
lano If he became a very im
portant chief, he could per
mit himself the luxury oi
three or four wives.
Changed Life
Rni then the Catholic mis
sionaries arrived in Tangan
yika and changed his lite.
Rucambwa was enrolled in
a cfhnnl lhat Ihe missionaries
founded, and at age of eight
he learned how to write ins
name in the native dialect.
(He has since learned Swahili,
English, Italian and Latin.)
Jlv heart was loucnea.
he says, "by all the good
things that the Fathers did
for my people, and men i
wanted to become like them
so that I could do the same."
R.it he was afraid that his
father, very attached to the
tribal traditions, would not De

The village sorcerers h"d
started rumors lhat every
Catholic convert would auto

He took the advice and.
after praying, went to tell his
father of his decision. His
father listened to him quietly
and then told him he nol
only approved of the decision
but thought Ihe entire family
Fhould accept conversion en

Since then. Rugambwa al
ways has had great faith in
prayer.
From the mission school in

to a seminary at Ruya. After
