Ag college books sent overseas

     A plea for books on agriculture for newly established Africa
University in Mutare, Zimbabwe, did not go unheeded by the faculty in the
University's College of Agricultural Sciences. They donated six cartons of
used books on plants, animals and agricultural economics, which will serve
as the nucleus of the new African university's agricultural library.
     Laura Lee C. Wilson, campus pastor and executive director of the
Wesley Foundation Campus Ministry, received the request for the books and
asked Karen Roth, assistant to the dean of the college, if she could help.
Roth sent out a notice, and the faculty responded with donations.
     Student members of the Wesley Foundation Campus Ministry packed the
books for shipment, which are now en route to Zimbabwe.
     According to Wilson, the "cooperative efforts of the University of
Delaware and Wesley Foundation Campus Ministry will be a most welcome gift
to a new university in Africa."
     Africa University is a United Methodist-related institution and will
celebrate its official opening this April.
