He Got A Guitar: Felix Moukoko Ndoumbe, a University student from Africa, had a double problem - part wish, part need. The wish was for a new electric guitar (his old one was about worn out) and the need was for a topcoat because of the chilly weather. As it chanced, Felix didn't have enough money for both. Word got around Reeves House in the South Quadrangle, where Felix lives. About 20 students in the immediate vicinity of Felix' room chipped in and bought him a new guitar. he's displaying it in the picture above. Felix solved the other half of the problem by buying himself a new topcoat.
