was thrown out at the plate. Next,
Gary Smith socked a run scoring

relieved Mazzurulli in the fifth,

Kimbal: reached third on a wild
pitch and scored what proved to
be the winning run on Pizzillo’s
sacrifice fly,

the door and preserve Kimball's
third victory,

The day before, the varsity nine

‘Last Men on Campus . .

The tension mounts as Don Woodruff, Robert Reid, and David

Forman wait to see if they will be the last men on campus.

\) «1 can't believe I got the room,”
exulted Donald Woodruff '67, Wood-
ruff and his two roommates of next
year, Robert Reid and David For-
man, also freshmen, had cause for
jubilation.

They had just been assigned the
last available living quarters for
men — D-30 in Waterbury Hall,
Drawing on Reid’s low number of
168, they quickly filled out the re-
quired forms and secured their
places for next year,

“For once I’ve been lucky,” For-
man grinned, Men following the trio
were not so lucky. The University
has no more room at the present
for the left-over students,

Lest students envision being
camped on dorm field next Sep-
tember, however, Miss Norma Ed-
sall, Assistant Dean of Women,
Pointed out that students usually
drop out over the summer and that
empty places will be filled with the
left-overs.

Frosh Guardians Serve

Patricia Fasano and Ed-
gyard Wolner, Juniors, have
been chosen by MYSKANIA
as the guardians of the
Class of 1968.

The role they are assuming is
substantially different wom that
of previous years, for Rivalry, a
major part of freshmen orientation,
has been abolished,

Under the tentative outlines of the
new Frosh orientation Program,
the class guardians will be charged
with organizing the incoming fresh-
men into a class.

They will direct both freshmen
and transfer students through the
initial stages of orientation, will
attempt to interest the freshmen
in University activities, and will
help to develop capable leaders,

Patricia Fasano and Edward Wolner are the newly selected

guardians of the Class of 1968,

State Students to Receive Expanded
Health Insurance Plan Next Year

Arthur Kapner, insur-
ance representative for the
State University of New
York at Albany, has an-
nounced a change in in-
surance coverage for stu-
dents for *64-’65 academic
year.

As a result of a change from the
American Casualty Company to the
Consolidated Mutual Insurance
Company, Kapner said that students
will receive increased benefits for
the same premium that was in ef-
fect in '63-'64,

Premium Stable

These rates are $18.50 for the
school year and $26.00 for twelve
months, About fifty percent of the
students now hold policies for twelve
months.

Under the present accident cov-
erage, any bills up to five hundred
dollars are paid. In addition to
Paying such bills in their entirety,
the new company will pay 80% of
all bills in excess of $500 up to
$3,500 for each illness.

Hospital room and board benefits
are to increase from twelve dollars
per day for a maximum of thirty
days to eighteen dollars per day
for a maximum of thirty days.

Miscellaneous expenses that are
incurred while not confined to a
hospital will still be covered to
fifteen dollars, but miscellaneous
expenses incurred while in the hos-
pital will be paid up to $150, com-
Pared to the present $60,

New Role

The guardian program for next
fall may also develop a steering
committee, composed of freshmen,
to help in the organization process,

Another possibility is to estab-
lish an information booth to answer
questions and give advice to con-
fused students in the initial stages
of orientation,

Although many aspects of orien-
tation have been changed, some
of the traditions will be kept. These

include the Beanie Ball, Parents
Day, and Homecoming Weekend,
In other business, MYSKANIA

ruled that Senate was fulfilling its
constitutional requirements, The
cifling was made as the result of
a referral made last April 16,

Tobey’s referral ciied the section
of the Student Association Consti-
tution which states;

“The duties and the powers of
Senate shall be: (3) to provide
for all committees (o carry out
its function,””

MYSKANIA ruled that the infor-
mal assent of Senate to the exec-
utives decision did indeed constitute
a fulfillment of its constitutional
requirements,

Yearbook Photo
Deadline Today

Today will be the last time
members of the Class of 1965
will be able to sign-up for sen-
ior photos in next year's Torch,

Sign-up sheets will be avail-
able in the peristyles until 3:00
p.m, today,

Anyone not signing up will
not have his photograph in the
senior section of the yearbook,

Surgical expenses will still be
covered to the maximum amount of
$225 as will private nurse benefits,
Twelve dollars per day for up to
thirty days will be paid for twenty-
four hour-a-day nursing care.

Also remaining the same is the
Payment of $4.50 per doctor’s visit
up to twenty-five visits, either at
the student’s residence or at the
office.

Ambulance expense benefits have
been increased from fifteen dollars
to twenty dollars,

The maximum payment for con-
sultant’s expenses is remaining at
thirty dollars as is the coverage
for prescribed medication which is
sixty dollars,

Maximum Benefits Rise
The major change is the total
maximum benefits that a student
can receive for any illness, Under
the present plan a student can re-
ceive only $500 maximum for each
sickness,

The new coverage will permit a
policy holder to receive the maxi-
mum for each line under the sick-
ness benefit for each illness,

Consolidated Mutual Insurance
Company has guaranteed in writing
that the present premium will be
in force for the next two complete
school years,

Option Remains
As in past years the students
will have the option of taking the
insurance for the school year or
the entire year, and if the student
is covered by a comparable policy,

he will not be required to purchase
the policy,

Arthur Kapner
Wider . Health Coverage

Kapner said that next year he is
Planning to have a twenty-four hour
service for the payment ofall claims
at his office, rather than the present
system where he must submit all
claims to the Boston office of the
insurance company before any,
claimant can receive his payment

It is not definite at the present
time whether or not the insurance
money will be collected with other
fees that will be prepaid before the
student returns to school in Sep-
tember.

All students will receive complete
details of the new policy and all ex-
panded benefits either before they
finish the present term or during
the summer vacation according to
Kapner,

Judd, Daniels to Co-Edit Primer

Robert Judd (1) end Nevee Daniels will serve as co-editors of

next year's expanded Primer.

Bruce Daniels '65 and Robert
Judd '65 will serve as co-editors
Of neat year's Primer,

‘The co-editors announce that they
plan to publish two editions of the
literary journal next year, Tenta-
tive plans call for publication in late
fall of this year and the early spring
of 1965.

This will be the first time in four
years that Primer will attempt to
publish on a semi-yearly basis, The
plan for expanding Primer was first
formulated by this year’s editor,
Joseph Gomez ’64, the recent win-
ner of a Woodrow Wilson Fellows
ship.

The new co-editors are extremely
anxious to get the student body ing
terested in Primer,

In regards to the need for con-
tributigns, co-editor Daniels said,
“Creative expression is the life
blood of a Universtty,’”

The editors have not yet formu.
lated any definite editorial policy,
However, they do hope to run more
material of an essay nature, rather
than relying mainly on short stories
as Primer has done in the past,

Daniels said that there is atentar
tive plas to hold @ program With
soine of the area writers some time
in May to encourage students to
write for Primer, Plans however
are not definite,

The editors urge students who
plan to contribute to Primer to
write their pieces over the sum-
mer.

Torch, Forum Budgets‘.

Senate Budget Committee continued its openhearings
'66 and Lynn Kurth ’66 were ap- Tuesday with passage of the Torch, Dramatics and Arts
pointed as co-chairman of Home- Council, and Forum of Politics budgets. Debate was
relatively brief on these budgets in comparison to
the lengthy discussions that had centered around the
ASP and WSUA budgets in previous meetings.

Only the Torch request
for an editor’s salary of
$400 caused discussion,
resulting in the proposed
salary being cut to $200.

The committee agreed unani-
mously to cut the request. The
Torch budget was then passed at
a total of $13,840,

William Colgan ’65, newly-elected
editor of the Torch, said that he
thought the work involved and the
responsibility of the position made
a salary justified.

Colgan did admit, however, that
in his opinion, the editorship of the
yearbook would not require as much
time as the editorship of the ASP
a position he presently holds.

Student Association President
Ar hur Johnston '65 declared that
in his opinion ‘'$400 was too much
for the yearbook editor, but that
perhaps $200 was to little.’’

Lagging Behind

Due to the length of consideration
being given to budget requests, the
committee has been unable to meet
its original schedule.

A new schedule has been compiled
by Commissioner of Finance, Arthur
Ferrari ’66, All meetings will be
held in the Private Dining Room.

crease of less than one hundred
dollars over last year’s appropri-
ation,

Forum of Politics received its

change in the Forum budget was a

speaker line so that the group can

Drama Professor Calls

ASP Editorial Ignorant

To the Editor:

May I extend my sympathies to
you in regard to the unfortunate
and embarrassing public display of
ignorance-compounded-by -the-pet -
ulance revealed in the ASP's lead
editorial of April 24, D & A,
Campus Viewpoint Budgets Need
Scrutiny.”

It is awkward to have the news-
Paper and school and student body
so badly represented by a writer
who, although unidentified, seems
to be not only unknowledgeable about
most of his subject matter but also
too transparently anti-intellectual
and culturally illiterate.

The regrettableness of this dis-
play is increased if we consider
ASP a barometer of the University’s
sophistication and taste, for, as you
realize, some of the remarks in
the editorial are (at least by im-
Plication) nothing short of insulting
to the intelligence of an average
freshmen, let alone the upperclass-
man or the grad student,

-Assuming that the editorialist was
not parodying irresponsible jour-
nalism or merely trying to stimulate
controversy for. its own sake — as-
suming, in short, that he was sincere
albiet misguided ~ you might try en-
lightening him on a few points re-
lating to his remarks on the theatre.

With tedious repetition the editor-
falist sulks about State University
Theatre’s choice of major produc-
tions and thereby most glaring dis-
plays his, shall we say, naivete,

According to the editorialist, ‘the
facalty in the Drama division’? (sic)
are unwilling ‘‘to produce plays

which would command an audience,’’

The plays are not ‘by authors
known by students or of a nature
of interest to the students’; instead,
‘most of the plays are of little
interest tonon-devotees of theatre.’’

May I cite the authors and titles
of the major production at State
during the enrollment of the college
generation about to graduate this
June?

4 trust that for most readers no
more be said, but for those of
the editortalist’s persuasion, may
I suggest that if these author’s
Plays donot ‘‘command an audience’’
or are not ‘‘of interest to the
students’ it is a reflection not on
the plays, but on the mentality
of the audience, student or other-
wise.

The caliber of the cited plays is,
should the truth be known, su-
Perior to that of those produced in
most universities in this nation.
Tt is exactly plays such as these,
be assured, that students in many
of the nation’s most elite univer-
sities argue and agitate to have
performed,

They feel that the plays they are

WILLIAM SARO-

given are banal, trite and shallow.

You can appreciate, I trust, how
ironic it is to find an editorial
in a university publication advo-
‘cating a rejection of such plays as
cited. It is more than ironic, It
is frightening.

Let the editorialist reconsider
the fact that he is in a university,
Presumably in order to receive a
higher education, presumably to
grow, to become more aware, to
be exposed to a host of new ideas,
values, traditions, and forms in
areas as diverse as those of busi-
ness and the arts,

Let him reflect on what a uni-
versity by its very nature
hopefully stands for: a rejection of
the commonplace, of the facile, of
(indeed) the ‘‘popular’’.

Let him try. to grasp that we
in University and/or Educational
Theatre in our own limited way,
with all due awareness of our short-
comings, of the discrepancies (sic)
between vision and fulfillment, try
to operate by such principles,

Of the editorialist’s remarks con-
cerning the budgeting of monies
for the plays and our alleged ‘‘in-
efficiency’ in producing them, lim-
itation of space prevents my doing
more than telling the editorialist
that if he thinks that four markedly
different productions can or should
be produced for equal sums of
money, he seems hardly capable
of judging the complexities of
budgeting a series of major
theatrical productions at the same
time as maintaining and replacing
an extensive inventory of theatre
equipment and supplies,

The

Viewpoint Format Needs Revisio

A yearly handbook such as Campus Viewpoint can be
justified only if it is essentially new and different sacl
year. While the exclusion of the long-standing traditio
of Rivalry and the increased coverage of the new cam-
pus warrant a new Viewpoint next year, we feel that its
format should be changed so that it canbe used for many
years to come.

In its present form the Viewpoint becomes outdated
every year, for it includes the pictures and names of
the leaders of campus activities. While this gives good
publicity to the people involved, it is not necessary to
the purpose of the handbook.

The handbook will fulfill its function equally well by
describing the activities available on campus and leaving
out the names of the officers, The names mean littlay
or nothing to incoming freshmen, and interested upper-
classmen will already know the campus leaders, In
this way the handbook could be used unchanged for
many years.

If the Editor of ‘Campus Viewpoint does not feel that
these changes will benefit the publication, as well as
the Student Association budget, we suggest that he
consider publishing a handbook catering entirely to
the incoming freshmen. This would presumably coatain
the names of organization officers, and other informa-
tion relevant to introducing the freshmen to the cam-
pus.

Such a handbook would be useful only to freshmen,
and thus a much smaller amount of copies would be
needed. :

We feel that the first alternative is the most realistic,
for all concerned. It will save money in the long run ®
and will provide an accurate introduction to State life
for freshmen, and a continuing reference for upper-
classmen,

Informed Advisors Vital

Much confusion seems to exist among many students
over coursestthey may use to fill their requirements.
This confusion is not always being cleared up by their
advisors. Instead, ‘‘advice’? seems to compound the
confusion.

The most confusion occurs over the double counting
of a course toward both a majorandthe general liberal
arts requirement. An advisor in one department will®
allow a certain course to count on a requirement, while
an advisor in another will tell a student that the course
cannot be counted, When the students compare notes,
they wind up worse off than before.

Many changes have been made in the past few years
as departments expanded. Inevitably it takes time for
people to adjust their thinking to these changes, How-
ever, we feel that it is vital for advisors to inform
themselves of the requirements of all departments so
that they can adequately counsel their advisees.

It would be most unfortunate if a senior were pre-

vented from graduation because of an error made by
his advisor in approving courses he took to fulfill
requirements, e

Students, Keep Silent

In cooperation with the administration, we of the
ASP would like to join in urging all students not to let
the names of the new dorms leak out to the public.

The information given in the UCA Bulletin this week
was false according to Dean David Hartley. Ryckman,
Beverwyck, Bleeker, Van Rensselaer and Stuyvesant
are not the official names of the halls and tower on the
new campus. They were only suggestedand used for ex-
pediency when the students picked their living quarters
for next year.

Official approval of all names and other crucial de-
cisions must be given by the Board of Trustees of the, "
State University of New York, Dr. Hartley fears that
the Board will be offended if we presume to have made
the names official without their sanction,

We, therefore, emphasize our concern that the fol-
lowing names not be made public: Ryckman, Stuyvesant,
Van Rensselaer, Bleeker, and Beverwyck. Do not let
it slip out that our University is considering naming
other quadrangles for New York State governors or
United States Presidents,

An information leak at this time could prove dis-
astrous to the plans of our University officials, They
really want the names of Van Rensselaer, Stuyvesant,
Bleeker, Beverwyck, and Ryckman ts be approved,

We do not want the students of this University to
be accused of causing the administration any diuficulty
in this important matter,

When the first wave of Peace

a risky business.

There was no assurance that a

would be anything but a liability |
to one's career, The organization
was operating as a temporary agency
under an executive order. Many
Congressmen were skeptical about
the program, thinking that it might
become a haven for wild-eyed ex-

But Myths Still Persist

“Waiting for the college gradu-
ations in June is like waiting for
the kick-off in the Rose Bowl

*|Game,” according to one Peace

Corps official. “When the whistle
blows it really breaks loose.”

The official, Jules Pagano, Dep-
uty Director of Training for the
Peace Corps, explained that the
Corps expects to recruit the bulk
of the 6,000 Volunteers needed by
September from the June gradu-
ating classes.

Peace Corps Initiates
Senior Year Program

A strong dose of hard work for
little pay is being offered to 800
college juniors this summer by the
Peace Corps.

The newly-established program
will provide six to eight weeks of
intensive summer training for col-
lege juniors who are planning to
join the Corps after graduation. Six
individual study areas have been
arranged at six American universi-
ties for the summer project. The
programs will emphasize language
training and the development of
skills which will be needed in

projected overseas Peace Corps
projects.

The six plans will provide train-
ing for:

“We have 75 different programs
scheduled to begin right after
graduation,” he said. “The slots for
the 3,000 Volunteers returning this
year will have to be refilled in addi-
tion to the 3,000 new jobs being
created, All we have to do is get
people to apply.”

The biggest problem, according
to Pagano, is dispelling some of
the myths that have grown up about
what the Corps looks for in Volun-
| teers.

exotic languages not ordinarily
taught in American colleges

Each of the six training programs
will also include courses in physi-
cal education, health education,
American studies and Peace Corps
orientation.

The students’ home colleges will
be asked to evaluate the summer
program with a view toward grant-
ing credit for participants.

Juniors selected for the summer
program will receive allowances to
cover transportation. At the uni-
versity training site, they will re-
ceive room and board, and a
modest living allowance.

In the spring of 1965, those who
have undertaken—and survived—
the summer training will be noti-
fied as to which project they will
be assigned,

A brief training period and final
Peace Corps selection will follow
the Volunteer's graduation. A suc-
cessful applicant can expect to be
overseas about 60 days after re-
ceiving his diploma.

Applicants for whom there is no
room in the summer program will
be processed in the regular manner
for programs starting after their
graduation date,

“Too many students think that
all we need are people who know
how to drive tractors, grow rice or
prune trees. This is false. Liberal
arts graduates, no matter what their
major, are constantly needed,

“It’s the liberal arts graduates,”
he said, “who fill the bulk of teach-
ing assignments and who will be
needed to help fill the backlog of
requests for educational assistance
in Latin America and other areas,
Many of our community develop-
ment workers are graduates with
liberal arts backgrounds,

“The weird part about it,” said
Pagano, “is the fantastic oppor-
tunities being offered to some of
the Volunteers overseas. Many
Volunteers with only bachelors’ de-
grees are being assigned as univer-
sity faculty members. The demand
for anybody who can teach the
English language is terrific. Where
else can anybody with a B.A, get a
chance te teach at this level?

“Naturally most of the Volun-
teers assigned to teaching jobs work
at the secondary level, but even
this is unbeatable for giving the
feeling that you are actually ac-
complishing something.”

Educational programs will be ex-
panding in Latin America, a region
which previously requested mostly
community development workers,

Another misconception held by
many college students is that an
applicant must be proficient in a
foreign language.

“Many overseas
quire only English,
Pagano. “In some countries, Eng-
lish is the official language und
much of our classroom teaching is
done in English,

If a foreign language is needed,
the Peace Corps will teach it to
the Volunteer. “It is pretty ridicu-
lous to expect the normal college
graduate to know any Bengali,
Arabic or Swahili," Pagano said.

Origins of the Peace Corps

IESE SSS I I II IR aa a

_ Idea First Proposed
| To Michigan Students

It was just past midnight on a
chilly October morning in 1960
when the young Senator from
Massachusetts mounted the steps of
the Michigan Union in Ann Arbor
and asked a group of University
of Michigan students if they were
willing to go overseas to help their
country.

“There was a hush,” one ob-
server said, “and the mood of the
crowd seemed to change.”

That was the first time that
John F. Kennedy publicly men-
tioned the Peace Corps. He did so
again in a nationally televised
speech a month later at the Cow
Palace in San Francisco which
brought 30,000 letters of support
for the idea,

Where did the idea «ome from?
Since the Peace Corps is now so
successful, many people have
claimed credit for originating the
idea, and many can be given credit

The first legislation in the area
was introduced by Congressman
Henry S. Reuss (D-Wis.) in Janu-
ary, 1960. Reuss says he got the
idea in 1957 during an inspection
of the United States foreign aid
effort in Cambodia.

Reuss brought the subject of an
overseas youth corps into a speech
at Cornell University, As he later
said, “The response there—and
wherever else I have discussed it—
was electric.”

Reuss’s legislation — called the
Point Four Youth Program—was
,Sponsored in the Senate by the late
Senator Richard Neuberger of Ore-
gon and was added to the Foreign
Aid Authorization Act. Eventually
$10,000 was allocated to make a
study of the plan and the Agency
for International Development took
the responsibility for getting the
study done,

AID had a difficult time finding
a group willing to take the con-
tract, but finally Colorado State
University’s newly founded re-
search center agreed to do it.

On June 15, 1960, after Reuss's
proposal and before the money had

been allocated for the study, Sena-
tor Humphrey proposed that a
youth corps be set up. His legisla-
tion was the first calling for more
than a study of the feasibility of
the idea,

The Colorado group had just ac-
cepted the contract when Kennedy
mentioned the idea at San Fran-
cisco. After he was elected, he
established the Corps on a pilot
basis by an executive order on
March |, 1961. Congress answered
his request to set up the Corps on
a permanent basis with a bill that
President Kennedy signed into law
on Sept. 22, 1961.

By the time the group had the
report out, the Peace Corps had
been going more than six months,
and the first Volunteers were over-
seas.

How did President Kennedy get
the idea? According to George
Sullivan, who is writing a book
on the Peace Corps and spent sev-
eral months researching the origins,
Kennedy's contact with the corps
idea came from several sources.
Reuss reports that he sent his in-
formation to Kennedy in August
or September of 1960.

Among those who influenced
Kennedy in the development of the
Peace Corps program besides Ruess,
Neuberger, and Humphrey, were
Chester Bowles, Archibald Cox,
Walter Reuther, Ted Sorensen, and
Lyndon B, Johnson, Johnson had
mentioned the idea in campaign
talks even before Kennedy. Bill
Moyers, who later became deputy |

director of the Corps, was a mem-
ber of Johnson's staff at that time.

The early, derisive comments
about the “Kiddie Corps” and
“Disturbing-the-Peace Corps” have
been replaced by such universal
backing that the Peace Corps gets
94 to 96 percent of its annual ap-
propriation request, which is much
better than the average for other
agencies. Peace Corps matters are
usually passed by voice yote; a roll
call vote has never been necessary.

The success of the Peace Corps
has been attributed to two things:
the fact that it is apparently a good
force for peace in the world, and
the leadership of Peace Corps
Director R. Sargent Shriver. Every-
where in Washington, Shriver is
given credit for being the man who
made the Peace Corps work.

Senator Humphrey wrote in
1961, “The effect of Peace Corps
work will be invaluable, The citi-
zen of an underdeveloped country
may forget a case of American
supplies quickly consumed; he may
resent a load of American guns
turned over to his government. But
his memory of working with and
sharing the skills of an American
citizen will be strong and endur-
ing. .

“America’s best resource is its
people.”

Reuss was asked his opinion of
the implementing of his idea, and

“It's ironical. Our Peace Corps built their brickyard."’

But...

Volunteers

“We can't guarantee anything,
but... ." is the usual opening reply
when a Peace Corps recruiter is
asked the inevitable question about
a returned Volunteers draft status.

Corps officials who have been
dealing with the problem for the
past three years are the first to
admit that the situation is far from
being crystal clear. They do have
a few of the answers, however.

The act of Congress authorizing
the Peace Corps specifies that

Volunteers should not be draft
\exempt. Although some legislators
|had felt that Peace Corps Volun-
teers should be released from mili-
| tary obligations, many were of the
| opinion that such a situation would
| result in a rash of applicants whose
jonly motivation was avoiding the
} draft

It was decided by the Selective
Service Board, however, that sery-
ice in the Peace Corps was defi-
nitely “in the national interest” and
so a Volunteer could legitimately
request a draft deferment. This is
currently being done.

When a Volunteer’s service in
the Corps has ended, his deferment
is terminated. Legally he is again

wind up with government jobs that
qualify them for deferment. Frank-
ly," he said, “most draft boards
look rather kindly upon returning
PCVs. From what we know of the
cases of returnees who have been
drafted, it appears that they didn’t
have jobs or anything and were
just hanging around.

“Draft boards can be pretty
autonomous though and it’s tough
to say exactly why they might have
a returnee drafted. We can advise
ja returnee about his status and
write a letter to his draft board for
him, but legally there is no re
course.

“Congress is aware of the situa-
tion,” he said, “and since the first
big crop of returnees are now con

Cooperative Venture for Stability

Volunteers

Cooperative Effort

The Peace Corps Volunteer is}
usually pictured with dirt under |
his fingernails, digging in the mud |
to help the lowly peon plant his}
crops. Actually, a large percentage |
of the Volunteers are involved in
initiating a cooperative effort be-
tween people in areas where work-
ing together was unheard of before. |

Community development; as this
process is called, takes place in
both villages and urban areas. It|
involves three steps. |

First, the Volunteer must get to|
know the people and be accepted!
by them. This is describe@ by Vol-
unteers as one of their toughest
problems because it is a relatively
inactive period and they are unable
to see any tangible results from
their efforts. They may get to know
the people by talking to them in
cafes, meeting with them on -the
street or helping them in small
chores.

The second phase consists of
organizing the community to hold
meetings at which local problems
are presented. This stage is also
difficult. It may take many sessions
before the Volunteer can get an}
orderly meeting.

In the third and final
Volunteer starts mobil
community to work on its de-
fined problem. In many foreign
countries, people are articulate and
thorough planners, but sometimes |
become bored by the things they |
have planned. As one Volunteer}
said, “Our greatest enemy is the
‘elaborate plan.’ The idea becomes
the substitute for the work and |
sweat that is really needed. We in
the United States are a country of
doers—we avoid elaborate plan-
ning und speech-making and
quickly roll up our sleeves and go
to work. Our greatest efforts as
Volunteers are spent in getting the
sleeves up.”

The Volunteer must get the peo
ple of the country to do the work
themselves. If the Volunteer does
it himself, his time is wasted, Many
Volunteers arrive in an area, and
the villagers ask shortly, “Where

then might tell the villager to ap-
proach his own government about
supplying a bulldozer. The idea is
to get the people in the area to help
themselves.

One example of a rural commu-
nity development project was a
cooperative vegetable-growing en-
terprise in Chile. A Volunteer
talked 20 families into growing
three kinds of vegetables together
and marketing them together. By
cooperating, they were able to rent
a truck to take their harvest to
town instead of each having to use
his ox-cart. The profits were split
among the families with a small
amount to the cooperative to keep
it going.

Some of the farmers made as
much from one harvest as they
made in two years working on
the large, privately owned farms
where they were employed,

Another project by the same
Volunteer involved getting a bred
sow from CARE and splitting the |
resulting litter among several fam-
ilies. The female pigs in the litter
were bred, thereby producing a
litter from each female. Of this
third generation, one pig was given

The answer is one detail in a
story that is beginning to be stand-

diplomatic crisis; he can expect to
continue his work virtually unhin-
dered.

In the Panama crisis, six Volun-

In Cities

There are no Peace Corps Vol-
unteers working in Paris but not
many of the 7,000 members are
living in grass huts either. Many
awaken in the morning to the
sound of street cars and truck
traffic.

“One of the most popular myths
about the Peace Corps,” said one
official, “is that everybody is living
in the jungle some place 700 miles -
from the nearest city.”

Nigeria refutes this point, how-
ever. Peace Corps projects are con-
centrated in the six major cities.
Volunteers there are teaching in
secondary schools and universities.

Ibaden, in the western part of
Nigeria, is exotic enough to fit the
usual conception of a Peace Corps
site—it is the largest all-Negro city
in the world. Some 30 Peace
Corpsmen are teaching there in
secondary sctiools and universities.

ernment.

On the other side of the Atlantic,
in Peru, the Volunteer is again
found almost as often in the city
as in the “bush.” Nearly half of
the Volunteers in Peru are in ur-
ban areas—60 in Lima alone, Sig-
nificant numbers of Volunteers are
also assigned to cities in Venezuela
and Chile.

No one who knew him at the

University of California had any
doubts about Bob Stillwell’s future.
The groundwork seemed pretty well
laid out. A degree in political sci-
ence and a handful of applications
to law schools seemed to chart a
promising future. But that was a
year ago. Today the tall, blond
Californian is not reading law at
Harvard or Yale—he's teaching
, English to children in Nepal.
, Bob Stillwell sidestepped the
)security of the so-called affluent
society to serve as a Peace Corps
Volunteer. Thousands of young,
well-educated Americans have been
motivated to go half way around
the world to exotic lands to teach
English, to develop local govern-
mental units or to participate in
other Peace Corps projects.

Does the Peace Corps Volunteer
have the fervent, missionary zeal?
Is he a flag-waving patriot who
wants to tell underdeveloped peo-
ples about America’s virtues? Bob
Stillwell’s interest in the Peace
Corps characterizes motives which
have led thousands of college stu-
dents to temporarily postpone their
careers for voluntary service over-
seas.

Bob Stillwell is a composite of
thousands of young Americans
who want to do—to participate
rather than remain detached ob-
servers. There is no real Bob Still-
well, but there are hundreds of
Volunteers with similar back-
grounds and desires. He wants to
help people in developing coun-
tries learn the skills that have made
the U.S, a powerful industrial
nation.

The Peace Corps can foster bet-
ter international relations. It is a
way to work for peace and to be an
intimate part of the progress of a
developing nation, the tall Califor-
nian maintains,

Bob and his colleagues are not
caught up in any desire to Amer-
icanize others, His expressions of
" patriotic feelings show a broad con-
cern for strengthening the United
States in its relations with other
countries. He'd like to improve the
U.S. image abroad,

There is something fresh and
genuine about the enthusiasm of
other Volunteers who trained with
Bob. They ranged from a student
of East Asian affairs who is writ-
ing his Ph.D. dissertation on the
economic development of Nepal
to an elderly grandmother who
wants her children to live in a

overseas to “help people” per se.
He says he wants to work with the
people, to motivate them to put
into practice some of the principles
which the Corps is pushing.
Service in the Peace Corps, Bob
believes, will be an attractive asset
on anyone's credentials. You have
to have a certain amount of drive
and stamina in order to stand up

under ‘the pressures which we face.

It is a real experiment in self-
knowledge.

Not all of Bob's colleagues share
in the scope of his altruistic out-
look. Some Volunteers in Nepal
and elsewhere are not particularly
concerned with spreading democ-
racy or combatting communism,
but are more interested in travel-
ing abroad and applying § their
knowledge. It is also an opportu-
nity, as one agricultural worker put
it, “to identify with something big-
ger than we are ourselves.”

Bob has many of the qualities
of the most successful kind of
Peace Corps Volunteer. He is no
wild-eyed idealist, neither is he a
resigned pragmatist. He is both
self-motivated and socio-motivated.
He has a strong belief in the Peace
Corps. He wants to build a better
world and to change the American

image. By the same token, he wants |

to work with people, to enjoy per-
son-to-person contact, to teach, to
apply his specific skills, to gain an
inter-cultural experience, to learn
and to further his own career.

Like most good Peace Corps
Volunteers, Bob is quite specific
about what contributions he hopes
to make and he is not at all shy
about what he expects in return.
He sees the Peace Corps as a
service organization with a pri-
mary function of helping the less
fortunate,

There are Bob Stillwells at every
college and university in the coun-
try. They all have similar motives
which allow them to make the tran-
sition from four years of books
and collegiate soci:! life to aiding
people in a developing country.

They are endowed with a cer-
tain kind of enthusiasm, vigor and
verve, They live by strong personal
convictions; seeking to serve oth-
ers in the service of their country.
They have a desire to learn another
culture in depth. They want to
travel and to combine adventure
with education. They want to
broaden their perspectives in a
mature fashion. They want to chal-
lenge their strength and ingenuity.
And they were in the chorus that
answered President Kennedy.

Other Countries Begin
Peace Corps Program

The United States is not the only
country with a program to train
volunteers for work in the social
and economic development of
countries in Latin America, Africa,
and Asia.

The 13 national volunteer pro-
grams now underway vary in the
amount of government support they
receive, but all are characterized
by a goal of putting young people
into developing countries.

The Canadian University Serv-
ice Overseas, for instance, is a pri-
vately financed organization which
has placed 160 volunteers in some
30 countries. Most are secondary
school teachers, youth workers, ru-
ral development specialists and
medical personnel.

In South America, Argentina
has begun training a group of 50
teachers to be placed in neighbor-
ing countries through the Organi-
zation of American States, The Ar-
gentine program is being financed

of planning and training programs.

By the end of 1962, international
volunteer programs were consid-
ered important enough so that 43
nations gathered in Puerto Rico to
discuss the future of the idea. They
formed the International Peace
Corps Secretariat to increase the
supply of volunteer assistance avail-
able to the developing countries.

The Secretariat has offices in
Washington.

While the International Secre-
triat_ concentrates on developing
foreign service programs, it also
assists developing countries to form
their own national youth organiza-
tions for domestic work. Through
these efforts El Salvador now has
60 volunteers working beside U.S.
Peace Corps members in that coun-
try.

Other countries with volunteer

7] \wan ot

by Karen Callison

America’s Negro today is taking
slow but positive strides toward
social and political equality with
his white neighbor,

This progress could have been
slower and more discouraging than
it seems at times, now, had he not
gained the active support of large
numbers of responsible Negro and
white citizens through organizations
like NAACP and CORE.

Helping lead the civil rights move-
ment, these two groups stand high
in public esteem for the rational,
non-violent methods of protest they
have advocated and successfully
used,

Newcomers

Viewed in perspective of the whole
Negro protest against segregation,
which dates from colonial times,
NAACP and CORE have come late
in their development as effective
forces. Before 1900, progress was
negligible,

In fact, there was no organized
mass movement as such,,. only
sporadic individual attempts,
dwarfed in their influence against
a wall of Southern hostility, North-
ern indifference, and impotent fed-
eral laws,

Partial, token emancipation was
granted the Negroes in 1863, and
Union victory assured them of total
freedom, as followed in the 13th,
14th and 15th Amendements. Still,
Southern states found ways to evade
these laws, as with the ‘‘grand-
father clause.’’

Only Half-Free

Reactionary Southern groups,
such as the Ku Klux Klan, nursed
along white hatred for the Negro,
The Negro found himself worse off
than before the war. He was half-
slave and half-free.

The Supreme Court helped pro-
long the Negro’s separation from
the white when it sanctioned ‘‘sep-
erate but equal’’ public facilities
in 1896, Even the government and
the armed services remained seg-
regated,

Lynching, spurred on by growing
racist sentiment inthe U.S., reached
its peak between 1889 and 1899.
Some 187 lynchings a year occurred,

the majority of them victimizing
the Negroes in the South,

NAACP Formed
An increasing realization by pro-
gressives like Julius Rosenwald of
the need for organized protest led

to the formation of the National As-,

sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP) in 1909,

NAACP began with a crusade
against lynching, in 1910, Part of
its tactics included what Woodrow
Wilson later called ‘‘pitiless pub-
licity,’’ directed against the lynch-
ers, The results: in 1909, there
were 90 lynchings, 65 in 1920, 25
in 1930, 5 in 1940, and none in
1950, a tangible tribute to the ef-
forts of NAACP,

School Desegregation

Their next job was aimed at Negro
‘political equality, including the right
to vote, NAACP achieved a great
deal of this through the Supreme
Court.

Between 1918 and 1948, for in-
stance, it brought 27 cases involving
the rights of Negroes before the
Courts, and won 24 of them, Their
victories included overthrow of the
“grandfather clause’’ and the dis-
criminatory White Primary.

One of the more impressive
battles won by NAACP was its drive
for desegregation of public schools,
beginning in 1936 and culminating
in 1954 with the Supreme Court de-
cision in Brown vs, Board of Edu-
cation of Topeka. Here, the Court
ordered schools to integrate ‘with
all deliberate speed.’

However, NAACP's battle was not
entirely won, for the deep South
condemned the decision and per-
sisted with segregation. Little Rock
was the climax of this resistance
in 1957,

Impressive Leadership
NAACP today is one of the rec-

ognized leaders in the civil rights °

movement. While it started out with
and impressive white backing, in-
cluding Jane Addams, John Dewey,

Lincoln Stephens, Ray Stannard

Baker, and Lillian Wald, Negroes
have taken an increasingly prom-
inent part in NAACP,

Modeling its action on principles
of non-violence, NAACP believes in

fighting through the courts, the bal-
lots, and the boycott.

CORE More Militant

Also dedicated to non-violence,
yet believing in more direct action,
is the younger, more militant group,
Congress of Racial Equality (CORE),
Founded in 1942 by James Farmer,
CORE is credited with invention of
the sit-in and the freedorn ride.

At its outset, CORE was aninter-
racial, urban movement restricted
largely to the North,

Today CORE is of a decisively
changed character. Its scope has
broadened into that of amass move~
ment, and it seems to be taking
over the leadership which NAACP
held for so long.

The more radical and faster-
moving of the two movements, it
appeals to a younger set of people
than NAACP, Its membership is
almost totally Negro. CORE has
made the South its major area of
concern, as it dramatically dem-
onstrated in the 1961 Freedom
Rides,

Probably the most imaginative
of the civil rights groups, CORE
does not restrict all its activities
to direct action,

Opinion Surveys

They also include publicity
through novel press releases, let-
ter-writing campaigns to govern-
ment officials and business owners,
and petitions, as the one in Wash-
ington, D, C, protesting segregation
of the public parks.

CORE has also conducted opinion
surveys to discover whether cus-
tomers object to being served by
Negro sales clerks in department
stores.

To attribute all the Negro’s suc-
cess to date, or all his set-backs,
to the NAACP and CORE alone
would grossly oversimplify and dis-
tort the total picture. For the
gains which NAACP and CORE have
achieved were possible only with
the support of public opinion and
the government.

Other equally important civil
rights groups, such as the Urban
League and the Student Non-violent
Coordinating Committee (SNCC),
must share the credit.

Campus Viewpoint Editor

Answers ASP Criticisms

= To the Editor:

The reasons for the Campus View-
point’s engagement of its present
printer are relatively clear, lf one
wishes to honestly view the facts
of the case, without injecting the

malevolence shown in last week’s

ASP. It has been made necessary

to review the undistorted facts of

a Se DY

— the case in order to rectify the
effect of the warped propaganda
delivered to the student body on
Friday.

To be sure, the selection of a

printer was made only after con-

does not Stall—

sulting last year’s Compus View-
point editors who had themselves
contacted approximately one dozen
firms in the area, The one which
presented the lowest figures (quite
considerably the lowest) was the
one contracted by this present year’s

editors,

It would, indeed, seem highly
dubious that could one year be
among the most inexpensive within
the area, and which did not raise
its printing rates during that year

could somehow be ‘one of the most

expensive printers in a 20 mile

radius,”

Moreover, the choice of a printer
entails much more than the expen-
siveness or lack of it, and the
unique circumstances surrounding

the publication of Compus View

point have especially emphasized

the consideration of these other

a reliable, established firm which
is at present completing plans for
a new, enlarged plant on Central
Avenue. It has done extensive work
for the University, other than the
printing of the Campus Viewpoint,
is presently handling University ma-
terial, in addition to its printing of
the Viewpoint, and I have reason
to believe, on the basis of the Uni-
versity’s satisfaction of said pro-
jects, that it will continue to do
such work in the years to come

Moreover, such is Yhe peculiar
nature of the financing of the View-
point budget that it is necessary to
negotiate with a printer before its
budget is approved by Senate. And,
since it is not possible under such’
a financial set-up to sign a binding
agreement with a printer, he is
bound, almost to the deadline date,
only by the reliability of his word.

Hence, this too was considered
when I was, pondering possible
printers and my reasons for con-
tracting the present printer, al-
ready established on, solid finan-
cial grounds, were re-affirmed,

Another peculiar circumstance
involved was the drastically-short-
ened allotment of time for the com-
pletion of the Viewpoint due to the
institution of summer planning con-
ferences, beginning on June 29,
Thus, my choice of a printer was
again affirmed on two counts:

1. expediency
2. familiarity and experience as
opposed to unfamiliarity and inex-
perience,

As to expediency, 1 would say
that my choice of a printer per-
mitted the editors and staff to de-
vote more time in the planning,
writing, and editing of a publication
that must have such needed time if
it is to fulfill its purpose. As to, the
familiarity and experience, I would
say that because I chose a printer
familiar with last year’s format
and content, it further saved val-
uable time that would have been
spent instead on a printer, un-
familiar with the nature of Com
pus Viewpoint.

When I was criticized for my
choice of a printer on a previous
occasion, I asked my critic for a
substitute. His reply was that there
were two firms in the area that
were in desperate need of busi-
ness, and would have printed the
Viewpoint at a reduced rate.

Although the offer seemed lu-
crative, however superficial, I
judged it not in the best interests
of the Viewpoint to risk its existence
at the hands of a firm in such dire
Gnancial straits that it requires our
publication to remain in business,
I was not prepared to take such a
risk, for to do so, in my opinion,
was fiscal suicide,

Finally, I myself do not see how
this past year’s Campus Viewpoint
was “messed up’ to quote the
typical phraseology of provincial
muc-throwing. It is obvious that
the irresponsibility involved in nul~
lifidious and distraught minds of
the misinformed,

We must agree that through con-
structive criticism and responsible
journalism we may hopefully im-
Prove our efforts. It is difficult to

Movie Review

. | Trio of Films Runs Gamut of Mind:
Reveals Psychoses, Heroism, Fantasy

by Paul Jensen

The second film version of Em-
lyn Williams’ play, Night Must Fall
is part of the current penchant for
making motion pictures about var-
ious kinds of psychotics. This new
rage was inspired by Alfred Hitch-
cock’s Psycho, and some of the off-
shoots awned are Homicidal,
Pyro, Dementia 13, Maniac, Para-

e @ nolac and even Trauma. Since there

are only a limited number of dis-
eases to use as titles, the latest
such films have been givena greater
variety of names —: Shock Corridor,
Shock Treatment, and Strait-Jacket.

Case Study
Danny, in Night Must Fall, is an
attractive, seemingly charming

young man who is a homicidal ma-
niac, The play and 1936 film were
just thrillers, but this British ver-
sion is really more of a case, or
character, study. While excitement
is occasionally generated, the cli-
max is reached without any real
attempt to develop suspense re-
garding the safety of the old lady

for whom Danny works.

Actually there are really no sym-
pathetic characters in the film,
and hence no one about whom to
worry. Danny, himself, is the most
sympathetic, as his illness is ab-
normal and he cannot help himself,
while the others are considered
normal and should ‘‘know better.’’
This is especially true of the old
lady, who wants Danny for her
“son,” tries to revert to her youth
and even betrays hints of latent
incest.

Poor Structure

It’s not a pleasant film; it’s also
a film much better in its parts
than in the resulting whole. Indi-
vidual scenes and sequences stand
out sharply, but the film is not
structured for a unified effect. The
problem seems to be in the script,
as the direction by Karel Reisz is
good in itself, Albert Finney, as
Danny, gives a weird and believable
performance,

While not exactly believable,
From Russia with Love isan adven-
ture thriller that accomplishes its

Bach’s Mass In B-minor

On May 6, 1964, The Capitol 4ill Choral Society
will present the Mass In B-Minor by Johann Sebas-
tian Bach, This is the fourth of the Society’s productions
this year, and the massed chorus, soloists, orch-
estra, and continuo will be conducted by the Society’s
founder and conductor, Mr. Judson Rand.

The performance will take place in All Saints
Cathedral on Swan Street at 8:00 p.m. Soloists for
this performance will include Lee Dougherty, soprano;

@ Rosalind Hupt, contralto; Ray De Voll, tenor; and John

Peck, bass. John Baldwin will be the organist, and
the Harpsichord continuo part will be realised by
Mr. Laurence Farrell, a member of the Music Faculty
here at State.

The Capitol Hill Choral Society does not limit its
activities to the immediate Albany area, and has taken
several of its productions to other nearby cities
in the past,

Its performances this year have included the Missa
Papae Marcelli of Palestrina, the Mozart Requiem,
Handel’s Messiah, and, last month, the St. Matthew
Passion of Bach. However, in the terms of one chorus
member, ‘'This is the big one.’’

Indeed, it is the ‘big one,” for as Arthur Jacobs
said in his book Choral Music. ‘‘Although other sec-
tions of other masses may individually be better than
those in the B-minor Mass , the overall high quality
of these sections has probably never been surpassed.”
