bride with a shower in Hattie Mays
Ferguson Hall on Tuesday night
In Nigeria it is also the custom to
make gifts to the brideto be In
the United States the couple had
a much simpler wedding eve than
they would have had in their own
country In Nigeria the brides
family would have begun preparations
days in advance for the wedding
eve celebration which lasts
until after midnight and at which
huge quantities of food are consumed
Many delicacies would have been
prepared for relatives and friends
According to the Nigerian custom
the bride would have returned to
her home following the marriage
ceremony and awaited the procession
headed by her husband his
family and friends who would have
come to parents home to request
formally that the bride be given
to the bridegroom Here is the opportunity
for much teasing when
all in fun the brides parents arc
begged and often for a while refuse
to present their daughter to
her husband
Eventually the bridegroom takes
his bride to an apartment in the
family home unless ho is rich and
can afford to build a whole house
on the family property If a Nigerian
family is rich enough the couple
may also take a honeymoon trip
The Georges spent the night in
the home of friends and departed
in a shower of rice early Friday
morning for Bloomington Ind
where their first home will be in a
student trailer camp on the campus
of Indiana University The shower
of rice was a typical American touch
to the bridal festivities as such a
custom is unknown in Nigeria
The Georges are eagerly looking
forward to the day when they will
have their professional degrees and
can return to Nigeria to work with
their own people as Christian doctor
and pharmacist Such workers
are badly needed in their country

indications point to a 10 per cent

last years record of 786 students
The general rise in college enrollments
throughout the nation is reflected
in McMurry registration figures

is scheduled for completion
in the spring
