Campus still a big mess but it's getting better.

  1. re. the link to the article about Christian Kargbo: I took the very simple route of checking to see if he had deposited a dissertation with the university (simple, at least, if you have university library privileges). Turns out he did in 1984. The dissertation is available through Proquest. Here's the entry:

    AN ANALYSIS OF VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE PROGRAMS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR SIERRA LEONE
    by KARGBO, CHRISTIAN SHEKA, Ph.D., Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, 1984, 105 pages; AAT 8510037

    Here's the Proquest url: http://proquest .umi .com/pqdweb ?did=752587001 &sid=2 &Fmt=2 &clientId=1509­&RQT=309 &VName=PQD
