dukek chem 38 and allan c crane bus 38 can you give me the recipe for the preparation of human flesh sir what did it taste like what was your reaction when eating it these were a few of the questions put to mr seabrook by one of the the cruder members of the class of 1940 in an informal discussion backstage following his lecture last friday evening seabrook being an obliging sort of person answered all of these questions sparing no details he said that the natives are constantly at war with neighboring tribes naturally they often run short of food but there are usually bodies of the enemy available so why not use this for food after all it is animal flesh their religion holds that all an imal matter is sacred and since they must have meat for existence they are not particular what kind of meat it is furthermore human flesh is very good — it tastes the same as any other meat and it is very tender seabrook said i could not tell the difference be tween human flesh and any other kind of meat future wives take notice human flesh is prepared in two ways one method is cooking it with rice the meat is chopped up in small pieces and placed in a large pot of boiling rice another appetizing method is roasting it in the same manner we prepare barbecues they take a large piece of flesh — probably a leg — and tie it on a stick this is kept revolving over a fire until the juice starts to run out then it is treated with some form of condiment and placed over the fire again to be roasted until it acquires a crisp brown finish we may condemn and ridicule these customs and attitudes fol lowed by the natives ceabrook said but they also look upon us as a queer sort of people for bury ing our departed citizens instead of having a grand feast on a dead body they can't figure out why we let these bodies rot when they could be put to good usage says business needs chance ball to have army displays debaters plan amherst trip 1 the enforcement of freshman regulations

concentration lecture heard by 400 by anthony carcione lecturing before 400 students and faculty members last friday evening in broughal high school auditorium william b seabrook author explorer and adventurer amazed his audience with stirring accounts of the workings of witch craft on the ivory coast throughout his travels in af rica seabrook gained the confi dence of many jungle chiefs and witch doctors in this way he learned of the two kinds of black magic that which is genuine brought about by the uncanny power of suggestion possessed by these natives and that which merely deals with fallacies and fake rites many of the jungle tribes treat ed seabrook as if he were a witch doctor and in order to retain their confidence he had to act in this capacity he recounted one in stance where a jungle chief who wanted to be rejuvenated for his annual marriage to a few chosen tribal maidens asked seabrook to perform this by magical powers gifts bring favors a quart bottle of rum red pepper and some fake ceremonies helped to restore his confidence the jungle king showed his grat itude by offering seabrook the freedom of the kingdom in regard to the real working of witchcraft the speaker related his experiences in the niger coun try a woman witch doctor decid ed that she wanted to die and settle some difficulties which she had encountered with the spirits in her communications with them she invited all her friends to the ceremony which had the appear ance of a wedding celebration at a set time she lay down in a coffin prepared for the occasion and died in a few hours by con centrating her will-power an african doctor who had been edu cated in america was present and examined the body his conclusion was that there were no organic causes for her death in another instance a hated white trader became the victim of native magic they performed a tribal ceremony in which a corpse wearing a shirt and having finger nails stolen from the trader was baptised in the name of the victim danced for days for days the natives danced around the corpse repeating ver ses and chanting songs which meant that the body of the liv ing person represented would dis integrate when others told the trader of this ritual he laughed at them but gradually it began preying on his mind bringing about the desired effect he died as they had predicted u of p to be opponents in forensic session
