Kenya
CoZZeges to Reopen on January 6
The University of Nairobi and Kenyatta Univer-
sity College, closed by the government in mid-August
after a student s'Crike, will be reopened on January
6. Tou.(jh new regulations will be in force at the
two inrtitutions whose combined enrollment exceeds
9,000.
Ju contrast to disorders in previous years, the
problems in August were largely nonpolitical. The
students were objecting to poor food and overcrowd-
ing, results of the schools' rapid expansion in re-
cent years. The students also were protesting alleged
faculty preoccupation with private business interests.
The government recently published a list of stu-
dents eligible to re-enter the two schools. These
students must promise in writing to comply with uni-
versity regulations such as requirements for compul-
sory class attendance and official permission for
demonstrations or processions. The re-entry list
excludes the seven student leaders of the August
st_-ike.
The government will probably have police on
hand at the schools on registration day, and there
1s a good chance the institutions will reopen without
riisorder. Both the students and their parents are
eager to get on with the education process. The
diploma is essential in Kenya for a good job. Once
the schools reopen, however, disorders are likely
to recur.- because of the students' resentment over
the government's tough line and their unresolved
grievances about the institutions' facilities.

Pakistan-Afghanistan
Possible Summit Meeting
Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto announced
Thursday he has invited President Daoud of neigh-
boring Afghanistan to visit Pakistan. Bhutto said
he wants to discuss ways to improve troubled rela-
tions between the two countries, but he did not
announce a date for the talks.
If the meeting does materialize, the two
leaders will not find it easy to resolve the main
issue bedeviling relations--the status of Pakistan's
two frontier provinces bordering on Afghanistan.
The Daoud regime strongly advocates greater autonomy
for these provinces, whose inhabitants are ethnically
more closely related to the people of Afghanistan
than to other Pakistanis. Islamabad, for its part,
regards the status of the provinces as strictly an
internal Pakistani concern, The Bhutto government
claims that efforts by its political opponents in
these provinces to bring about provincial autonomy
are in fact an Afghan-supported attempt to break u
Pakistan.
