T^j,

On April 22, 1965, Lock Haven State College students and
friends will have an opportunity
to enjoy an evening performance
of Shakespeare's Hamlet as produced by National Players. This
will be a chance to get a Uft
with some really good legitimate
theatre. This, the 16th Touring Company of National Players, will present Richard Bauer
in the title role and Halo Wines
as Ophelia.
National Players was incorporated In 1949 as a Classical
repertory company. Their first
national tour of three months
presented "Much Ado About
Nothing" which met with overwhelming success. During the
following years the company has
p r e s e n t e d : "Arms And the
Man;"
"Macbeth;"
"Twelfth
Night;" "Love's Labor Lost;"
"Othello;"
"JuMus
Ceasar;"
"King Lear;" "Charley's Aunt;"
'Oedipus Rex;" 'A Midsummer
Night's Dream;" and in 1964
Players performed at the White
House (The Taming
of the
Shrew) at the i n v i t a t i o n of
President and Mrs. Lyndon B.
Johnson.
Tickets are available at the
book store.

The reason for the closing has
to do with the recent missue and
destruction of student property
which has taken place after the
snack bar is closed. It should
be pointed out that neither the
student nor college administration feel that the students of
LHSC are solely responsible for
the unwarranted destruction of
the u n i o n .
The administration believes the students of LH
SC to be responsible adults incapable of knifing the padding
of the booths or jumping upon
the tables until they break. On
occasion, outsiders, persons not
registered as students of LHSC,
have been observed in the union
after hours. On such occasions,
the union which is cleaned every
night at 10:00 p.m., has been
found to be a shambles in the
morning with such refuse as
beer cans and b o t t l e s under

season of spring boasts track and
baseball. Do you think that
you could take a minute to see
one of these spring events?
Concerning other campus activities, w h e r e were you for
Spring week-end? Here was an
entirely free week-end and a
very nice affair. Couldn't you
have rescheduled some of your
private parties for a later date?
We can't tell you to do so. We
can't tell you what to do or
when to do it; but when you
criticize your student government, remember that your government can only be as strong
as you want to make it.

The Eagle Wing has not been
closed to punish for the destruction of property, but to protect
the students' investments. This
unnecessary $400 in repairs cannot be afforded by the SCC letalone any more for tables, walls,
or equipment which may be destroyed in the future.

DEAN'S LIST RELEASED

by J O N MASOOD

As newly installed President
of the S t u d e n t Co-operative
Council, your student government, I would like to take this
opportunity to speak to you
through our college newspaper.
Shortly after the election results were published, I began to
reahze the tremendous responsibility which I was being given.
You have placed in my hands
a great challenge — to lead our
democratically governed student
council and to represent our
student body in all campus and
associated activities.
Now, s e v e r a l weeks since
those election results were first
published, I have found that the
student body lacks a great deal.
Perhaps, I am out of place,
but I think that the students of
our school are lackadaisical and
just Incapable of caring about
much of anything. I was elected
and I accepted a responsibility.
Can you or would you accept
any responsibility If you were
asked? I doubt it!
Our student publications are
In need of manpower; we had
one pep rally this year (for the
football team) which lacked
suitable attendance. The students of this campus do not attend events even when fellow
students are participating. How

or swimming meet? We do

the fact
that
the state
is paying only for the Student
Union Building. Every piece of
furniture and equipment has to
be purchased by the SCC with
student funds. As can be expected, the SCC is cutting every
corner to save money for the
union. Now it appears that the
SCC must buy fifty new chairs
for the old union. This constitutes about $400 of student
money which will now be spent
on repairing the damage done
to the union. This $400 was
never set aside because these repairs were u n f o r s e e n .
This
means that $400 must be taken
from the new union to make
repairs, that should not have
been necessary, to the old.

The representatives t o t h e
SCC try to formulate student
policy. It isn't too difficult for
you to ask any one of these
people If there Is anything you
can do to help. You don't ask,

doesn't go just right.

Newman Club's chaplin. Father
Joseph Weidman, visited the

College. Here they attended
one of that club's meetings and

coming Middle Atlantic Providence Conference. Fr. Gallagher announced that the theme
of this year's c o n f e r e n c e is
"Christianity in Transition."
Developing and understanding
of current tides of change within the Catholic Church will be
the main object of the conference. Plans are now being made
for some of our members to attend and possibly accompany the
Indiana chapter to this conference. It is scheduled for April

Plans are now underway for
the T.K.E. carnation Ball to be
held at the C l i n t o n County
Country Club on April 24th.
It promises to be another weekend to top all for the Tekes.
Now that Spring is on the
w a y we are anticipating o u r
weekly raft expeditions which
once again will be led by those
"great Teke o u t d o o r s m e n , "
"Pert," "Joey Javelin," and our
assistant housemother, "Tussey."
The only m i n o r problem last
year was that the rafts wouldn't
hold air, but t h i s y e a r our
"learners" have everything under control — wooden rafts.
Skip Fennell, our pledge trainer is doing a fine job with our
Spring pledges. Their ability to
work together is a good sign
that the Theta Gamma chapter
of T.K.E. will remain on top.

In keeping with the spirit of
Lent, the club members have
also been attending Mass as a
group every Wednesday evening
at 7:00 to observe the holy season.
A pancake and sausage breakfast is the next project being
planned. With the aid of the

of the Immacuate Conception
parish, Newman members will
serve the breakfast to be open

• . . for g o o d f o o d

Dear Editor,
Every Thursday at 1:00 p.m.
Lock Haven students are given
the advantage of an advisory
hour. D u r i n g this time, any
problems with studies or schedules are to be corrected.
Many of the students do not
feel that they are receiving all
of this sytem. Many of the advisors are never in their offices
at the scheduled time although
they have 1:00 p.m. posted as
office hours.
If a student does manage to
encounter his advisor in person,
the "advisor" doesn't seem very
well informed a b o u t required
courses, credits, quality points,
etc. The student is then shuffled
along to different department
heads and deans. Needless to
say, these people are even harder
to contact than the advisors and
much time is wasted.
Fall registration will be starting soon and these problems will
be more evident. The advisory
hour is a basically good system.
It can be a better system if the
advisors were in their offices at
1:00 p.m. and were better informed. Isn't there some way
to have the necessary information that should be accessible to
the students in the easy reach of
the advisors ?
Sincerely,
A Frustrated Student
Dear Editor,
Today I witnessed a situation
which is a discredit to the faculty and the administration of
this Institution. When a faculty member has no respect for the
rights and duties of a student,
how, in turn, can the student
have any respect for that professor?
The parking committee of
this college is for all who violate
the parking regulations — the
faculty and the students.
It seems ironical that when
the faculty members have specific parking spaces marked with
names that they should choose to
park in totally restricted areas.
The e p i t o m e of vulgarity
comes when the Professor uses
s t e r e o t y p e d "gang school"
phrases Hke "Hey Punk" to repremand a student for doing his
proper job.

THE EAGLE EYE

PEACE CORPS NEWS
A Story of Opposites:
Bias & the Peace Corps

Peace Corpi Director Sorgent Shriver talki with the Ipie President Kennedy shortly
before the President addressed a group of outgoing Volunteers.

Can One Sargent
Be Two Lieutenants?

The Peace Corps, like any fouryear-old, suffers from growing
pains.
"I wouldn't say its image is tarnished, but the luster has dulled a
little," said one Peace Corps official.
"Other people have done it and the
'me alone' feeling is missing."
Age has brought the Peace Corps
the additional problem of trying to
become an institution with a sense
of permanence, while keeping its
youthful spirit and idealism intact.
"I have contemplated the problem
gnrowth could brmg to the Peace

HHH Heads
PC Council;
Meeting Set
One of the first official acts of
Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey as new chairman of the Peace
Corps Advisory Council was to call
a conference of returned Volunteers.
The conference, scheduled for
March 5-7, was suggested by President Lyndon Johnson. Johnson
turned the responsibility of the
chairmanship over to Humphrey
Jan. 26.
The President also suggested the
new chairman point out the opportunity returnees have for further
service bv working with the many
foreign students in the United
States today.
Johnson termed the assignment
an especially appropriate one for
Humphrey. He noted Humphrey's
vision in seeing the future of the
Peace Corps while a Senate member
and offering legislation to embody
it.
Humphrey told the Peace Corps
News that "the Peace Corps has
been a living monument to the
idealism, skill, and devotion of
American youth, and serves as an
example of humanitarianism for all
the world.
"But we cannot be content with
even this fine record. There is much
that still needs to be done. The demand for Peace Corps Volunteers
is so great throughout the world
that last year we could only fill
about two-thirds of the requests
that were received.
"To any college graduate looking
for a chance to broaden his life and
enrich his experience I can offer
no higher recommendation than
working for the Peace Corps.
"He will find not only excitement
and challenge, but above all have
the opportunity to serve his fellow
man,"

The Peace Corps, in its four years of existence, has
emphasized repeatedly that racial and religious bias
are not tolerated in its selection process.
The Peace Corps rejects bias. But bias has not been
so kind to the Peace Corps.
A major problem in the civil rights movement today is finding skilled and well-educated Negroes to
fill jobs now open to them either through reforms
generated by the civil rights bill or the increased
readiness of employers to hire them.
The problem admits to no simple solution, for an
individual coming from a "culturally deprived" environment, who receives sub-standard schooling,
doesn't necessarily "make the grade" even if he is
given the chance.
The issue, not so much racial as socio-economic, is
a very real concern for rights leaders. It is also of
concern to the Peace Corps.
The trouble centers in both Peace Corps recruitment and selection.
"A lot of Negroes just aren't sure that the Peace
Corps wants them," states Bob Gale, director of
recruiting. "The sign says 'join,' but Negroes think
'they don't mean me.' It's been that way so many
times -that some Negroes don't even bother any
more."
Sargent Shriver, director of the Peace Corps, said:
"We haven't waited for colored citizens to seek
jobs in the Peace Corps. We went out and looked for
them.
"We have sent white men into black men's countries and black men to white men's countries and not
once has this policy caused us a single moment of
discontent or created a single incident."
Gale pointed out that letters have been sent to the
presidents of Negro colleges asking for the names
of top students, who were subsequently contacted by
Peace Corps representatives. A "special saturation
effort" is conducted at Negro campuses to get a larger
representation in the Peace Corps.
"The job of the Peace Corps is not civil rights,"
one official points out. "We have our own job to do.
But we'll do anything we can to help qualified Negroes get into tlie Peace Corps."
Thus the articles in Negro publications, photos of
Negroes in Peace Corps advertising literature, Negroes placed on as many recruiting teams as possible.
Yet the percentage of Negroes serving as Volunteers overseas remains low. Although Negro representation as staff members in Washington and overseas is high (about 26 per cent), Negro Volunteers
abroad constitute only about 5 to 6 per cent of the
total, based on unofficial estimates. The nationwide
percentage of Negroes is about 11 per cent.
One problem manifests itself in concern over the
"image." George Carter, director of the North Africa, Near East and South Asia projects, and a Negro
himself, said:
"There is probably no project in the world without
a Negro connected to it in some way, either as a
staff member or a Volunteer.

Corps," said Warren Wiggins, associate director for Program Development and Operations. "Presi
dent Johnson has said he thought
we should have some 20,000 Volunteers in the next three or four
years.
"I feel we can have this number
and still retain the highly indi
vidual character of the agency,"
Wiggins said.
Another problem is that Sargent
Shriver now serves the dual role
of directing the Peace Corps and
the War on Poverty.
"Shriver still makes all the -policy decisions and keeps his personal
touch on the agency," said an official. "The main loss is in the time it
takes to get decisions made. Things
can get bogged down in the meanwhile."
Another official compared Shriver's dual position with that of the
Secretary of State or Defense.
These men have one title but many
jobs. One could consider a man with
Shriver's abilities to have been under-employed before his present
load.
Shriver serves as a reminder of
President John Kennedy and personifies the idealism of the Peace
Corps "type."
President Kennedy had generated a particular type of spirit and
sense of living dynamic. This esprit
de corps captured the minds of
many young Americans. Because
President Kennedy originated the
Peace Corps and because of his
youthfulness, there was a unique
identification.
The most recent growing pain
has come- from within the Peace
Corps itself. A Peace Corps program director in Bolivia, Jasin Edwards, has complained of the
"blandness" of today's Volunteers.
"The bland Volunteer is one who
doesn't cause trouble, who makes
the necessary friends, adjusts nicely to his environment, accepts
things as they are and gets along
beautifully without worrying anybody or wrenching changes in the
environment.
"Anyone approaching the extreme such as the quiet guy, the
pretty girl, or the outspoken critic
was selected out somewhere along
the line as a dangerous risk," said
Edwards.
In the critic's opinion, the selection process may eliminate the person who would not only understand
and adjust to a new environment,
but also those who would have the Volunteer James F. I=isher, a 1962 graduate of Princeton Unicourage and drive to inspire change, versity who ina{ored in philosophy, was an English teacher at the

Volunteer Ida Shoatz, a 1963 liberal arts graduote from State

Here she greets a young friend in the market of Pisac where
she has gone to buy food.

"The only place where a preponderance of whites
is a problem is in those countries where we already
have a 'racist image.' Here the lack of Negroes tends
to fix the Peace Corps in the people's minds as a
middle class white organization."
Many bright, socially-oriented Negroes are committed to the civil rights fight at home. Others are
busy looking for good jobs or graduate schools. Competition for the educated Negro in business, industry
and education has become fierce today.
But even when a substantial proportion of Hegroea
submit Questionnaires, there is still a problem, especially in the case of the Southern Negro.
The Peace Corps relies strongly on the Modem
Language Aptitude Test, which purports to measure
potential ability to learn a language. On this exam,
Negroes, as a gro\ip, tend to score lower than other
Volunteers.
The race of an applicant, incidentally, is not known
to Peace Corps personnel before he shows up for
training—in other words, until after the tests have
been taken.
Gale pointed out that "until we raise the level of
teaching in some Southern schools, we won't have
college students who score well on the aptitude
exams."
Dr. Abraham Cai-p, director of Selection, points to
another difficulty.
"There is a danger," he says, "in using these aptitude tests for applicants from culturally deprived
environments. The tests may underrate applicants
in terms of their potential." They are not, he maintains, an absolute index of what their future achievement as Volunteers may be.
Dr. Carp is presently studying whether training
courses could be lengthened for these applicants. He
sees "academically oriented techniques" used in aptitude testing and training as favoring certain types.
Also under study are more programs where another
language is not required.
The Peace Corps is sensitive, in a meaningful way,
to the problems of discrimination. They will disqualify anyone if he shows discriminatory tendencies.
Colleges that are not integrated will not be chosen
as training sites. The representatives of minority
Kroup members on the staff in Washington and overseas is high compared to other government agencies.
But other hazards are operative too—^those of "reverse discrimination" which hampers the organization that wants to give Negroes a break but can't
because or complex societal factors; those that stop
:i Negro from believing that the sign reading "join"
means him; those that deter a Southern Negro from
setting good references because the people he asks
do not know how to write.
Tho Peace Corps tried to say goodbye to bias a
long time ago. But it's a stubborn guest

C o m m o n Misconceptions Exploded
The Peace Corps, like many other governmental organizations, is
plagued by a "knowle number of college students, don't know what the Peace Corps is all
about.
The misconceptions cover almost every phase of Peace Corps activity,
but the t r u t h about t h e work is simple and less menacing than most
suppose. Here a r e the most commonly offered objections to joining the
Peace Corps:
• / don't speak a foreign
language.
Although some knowledge of Spanish or French is desirable, it is
by no means necessary. The Peace Corps teaches you what lingual
skills you'll need.
• I'm not pinjsically .ftrong cnoupli. for the training
program.
There's a 79-year-old woman serving overseas. She hasn't done a
push-up in y e a r s .
• I'm a liberal arts ynajor.
So are 70 per cent of all Volunteers.
• I'm a chemistry Ph.D. I can't afford to spend two years digging
ditches somewhere when I have to advance my career.
How about spending two years teaching chemistry in an overseas
university?
• / can't afford it.
Although t h e "hourly p a y " is lousy by American standards, Volunteers receive an allowance to pay for clothing, food, housing, and incidental expenses and a readjustment which accrues at the rate of $75
p e r month for each month of service, including training. You won't
starve, either during service or for sometime after.
• I'll never make it through selection. The requirements
are too
tough.
They are. But so are about 45 per cent of those college students who
apply and a r e accepted.
• I'm a girl.
As are 40 per cent of all Peace Corps Volunteers.
• I'm married.
There a r e 580 married couples serving overseas. The Peace Corps
j u s t requires t h a t the p a i r work in t h e same project and have no dependents u n d e r 18.
• / don't want to live alone in some remote jungle town.
Don't. You can still join. Volunteers a r e placed in pairs, unless t h e y
w a n t to be alone. Many work in cities, where they sometimes live
better than they did a t home. The mudhut image is j u s t that, r e a l to
only a few.
• / have a girl friend.
Take her with you. You can even serve together, if you can t a k e
it for two y e a r s . (Really.)
• You never hear from the Peace Corps after you apply.
Often a request, sent in, for example, in March, t h a t indicates you'll
be ready in November is put aside while more u r g e n t requests for
June, J u l y or A u g u s t — a r e processed. In any event, you'll get a note
within a month telling you what's being done.

Don Y Worry^ You 7/ Learn
L e a r n i n g a language in a Peace
Corps training program is a radical
departure from the teaching methods used in most universities.
The entire Peace Corps program
emphasizes a "good g r a s p " of oral
communication between the Volunteer and the people he will be working with overseas—and this fluency
must be c r a m m e d into a 12-week
training session.
To add to t h e p r o g r a m ' s uniqueness, t h e Peace Corps teaches 20
languages t a u g h t nowhere else in
the United S t a t e s . And, to top it
off, the students realize t h a t the
product is n o t an a b s t r a c t grade
b u t an immediate need t o communicate with people in t h a t language.
" T h e y learn t h e languages primarily t h r o u g h repetition — -and
more repetition," says Miriam
Charnow, who works in Washington on the l a n g u a g e p r o g r a m .
The teaching method is called
"intensive." T h e trainees spend between 290 and 350 hours studying
language in t h e classroom and the
tape lab during the 12-week session.
The Peace Corps a t t e m p t s to
have native speakers teaching the
classes whenever possible. In some
languages native speakers t r y to
be with the t r a i n e e s constantly—
on field hikes, a t meals and during
r e s t periods. This technique is called
"immersion."
Only when it is absolutely necess a r y does t h e Peace Corps attempt
to teach t h e trainees t o read and
write a foreign language. The emphasis is always on direct oral communication. The written characters
of the foreign languages are t r a n s literated into phonetic English.
"We're looking for a fair understanding and control," says Mrs.
Charnow. " A n d by control we mean
being able to tell the difference between the various tenses and forms
of nouns. We don't spend any time
teaching g r a m m a r itself, but
through repetition a Volunteer
should be able to obtain a structural u n d e r s t a n d i n g of g r a m m a r . "

been learned by Peace Corps Volunteers, 20 have never been t a u g h t in
the United S t a t e s before. These 20,
called exotic languages, have p r e sented unique problems.
In some a r e a s where the l a n g u a g e is unknown to any American,
the Peace Corps sends in a linguistic expert, who does not know
t h e language b u t is able to i n t e r p r e t by inflexions, sounds and p a t terns.
He records representative p a r t s
of the language which are t h e n interpreted by persons who have a
general familiarity with t h a t lang u a g e group. F r o m these i n t e r p r e tations, lab t a p e s and manuals a r e
prepared.
T h e Peace Corps h a s been developing and intensifying its l a n g:uage t r a i n i n g since the organization's beginning. T h e number of
h o u r s spent in l a n g u a g e study has
steadily increased until it now fills
50 p e r cent of t h e time s p e n t in
training.
The most unusual aspect of the
training is t h e students themselves.
"The motivation is tremendously
high," says Mrs. Charnow. " I t ' s
something entirely new, the language itself and the way it is
t a u g h t . And it's the one direct
touch with a foreign country they
have while t r a i n i n g . "
"Excitement is high," Mrs. Charnow said, "The training does not
have the academic atmosphere. I t ' s
alive. When they leave the language
class, they're still chattering a w a y
in their new language. They speak
it a t dinner, for the fun of it. Most
of all, they realize t h a t within a
few weeks they'll actually be u s i n g
this language to communicate with
people."

In those cases where the work
language is English, as it is for
teachers in m a n y of the former
British colonies, the Volunteer is
often taught a local dialect. Where
several
major
languages
are
SDoken, as in Nigeria or India, the
Volunteer learns the language

College Juniors
Train in Advance
About 800 college juniors will
become the second group to participate in t h e Peace Corps' new
Advanced Training Program this
summer.
The new group will be almost
twice a s l a r g e as the first group,
which is now completing its last
year of college.
Trainees a r e selected in their
junior year. They go to an eightweek t r a i n i n g program t h a t summer then r e t u r n for their final year
of college d u r i n g which they're encouraged to study courses in fields
related to t h e country where they
will be working.
After graduation, the trainee ret u r n s for a n o t h e r four o r eight
weeks of t r a i n i n g , then is sent
overseas.
Last summer's p r o g r a m with 400
students was concentrated into four
main project areas—English and
French-speaking Africa, and Latin
American r u r a l and urban community projects.
Most of t h e trainees have enrolled in classes relating to their
fields of studies.
Of t h e 134 advanced trainees for
Latin America, 98—80 p e r cent—
a r e engaged in Spanish studies.
Over one-half a r e enrolled in
courses related to Latin American
affairs.
Of the advanced trainees for
French-speaking Africa, 83 p e r cent
a r e engaged in continued French
usage a t school this year. About a
third of t h e trainees for all of
Africa a r e studying courses r e lated to their field.
In t h e L a t i n American p r o g r a m
about a third of the trainees a r e
presently engaged in student teaching, social w o r k or some t y p e of
community action project. F o r those
scheduled to g o to Africa, about 40
p e r cent are now student teaching
or tutoring.
Few of t h e advanced trainees
have lost interest in t h e Peace
Corps. Of t h e 134 who are studying for Latin America, seven have
dropped out of the program—six
because they will not graduate in
J u n e and only one because he lost
interest.
Of the 213 in the Africa program
last summer, another seven have
dropped out—one for medical reasons, two who will not graduate in
June, three w h o plan marriage and
one who lost interest.

For Training—
Universities Apply Too
I t ' s not clear who is following whose lead, b u t universities as well
as students offer their services to t h e Peace Corps.
Unlike the students, the universities don't volunteer to go overs e a s ; they offer to be a t r a i n i n g site for those w h o do.
The process of selecting universities for Peace Corps projects and
helping t h e schools plan t h e training p r o g r a m is the job of the University
Relations office of the Peace Corps.
Once a contract has been let to a university and the planning for
a training p r o g r a m begins, t h e University Relations office works closely
with the school.
" W e first select a project director, who is usually a faculty member,"
said Dr. John M. Groebli former Deputy of University Relations. "This
must be someone who is flexible in his approach and is able to draw
from all the resources on a c a m p u s . "
Because of t h e relative lack of planning in many developing countries,
the universities are often faced with an abrupt aboutface. A country
t h a t originally requested English teachers suddenly decides t h a t it needs
physical education instructors more desperately. T h e carefully planned
p r o g r a m h a s t o be adapted to fit the future needs of the Volunteer.
D r . Groebli believes t h a t the university benefits from the experience,
as does t h e trainee.
"The trainees are exciting to t e a c h because of their commitment to
w h a t they are doing," he said, "and the faculty is often intrigued
with the exeremely practical aspect of this type of education."
Until recently, the Peace Corps h a s not been able to select freely
from all the schools in t h e country when planning training programs.
" W e feel t h a t any Volunteer from any place in t h e country should be
able to use the full resources, not only of the school, b u t of the town,"
said Dr. Groebli. "We only now feel t h a t the climate is right for using
Southern schools in t h e training p r o g r a m s .
"This s u m m e r , a half a dozen Southern schools will be used a s
training centers," said Dr. Groebli.
" I n spite of small problems, it is an educational miracle that within
1,450 days, higher education in this country has trained 15,000 people
to go work in 46 different countries, speak 42 different languages (many
not regularly t a u g h t in the United States) and work a t 300 different
jobs," said Dr. Groebli.

many more will drop out before
June. Marriage or scholarships may
come along," Jules Pagano, deputy
director of Training said. " B u t we
attempted t o pick,those who seemed
to have a genuine interest in the
Peace Corps. Their involvement
right now shows us t h a t t h e prog r a m is in p r e t t y good shape."
The advanced training p r o g r a m
will be expanded next s u m m e r to
include Thailand, Iran, Turkey and
Malaysia.

Cool Approach
To Trouble
American ambassadors, diplomatic staffs, even visiting professors,
may be asked to leave a foreign
country, but the Peace Corps Volunteer remains.
To date, n o country has ever officially requested t h a t Volunteers
in t h a t country leave. The official
Peace Corps policy is to " p l a y i t
cool" and n o t evacuate Volunteers
a t the slightest political t r e m o r .
Each situation is evaluated individually.
Volunteers have been present in
countries where there have been political disturbances and anti-American feelings, such as in P a n a m a ,
Turkey, Ghana, the Dominican Republic and others. Volunteers have
remained d u r i n g these crises and
coup d'etats, with some interesting
results.
Some villagers in Turkey held an
anti-American demonstration one
day. As t h e y later congratulated
themselves on -the success of their
venture, it occurred to someone t h a t
they m i g h t have offended the Peace
Corps Volunteer staying in t h e village.
To prevent hard feelings, the
villagers then walked to the Volunteer's home and staged a pro-Peace
C^rps demonstration.
T h e fact t h a t foreign countries
and people make a distinction between t h e Peace Corps and official
American foreign policy has been
and continues to be an interesting
side-note of t h e Peace Corps operation.
When t h e r e is a political disturbance in a country, the decision
about removal of t h e Volunteers is
up to t h e P e a c e Corps director in
t h a t country.
The philosophy behind the Peace
Corps policy is t h a t if yolunteers
were evacuated every time there
was a disturbance, they would be
receiving preferential t r e a t m e n t in
the community.

CRITICISM
(Continued from page 3)

director of t h e Peace Corps Office
of Volunteers, wrote in the Peace
Corps m a g a z i n e t h a t while t h e motivations for volunteering m i g h t be
the same, t h e r e a r e more people
who view t h e Peace Corps a s a
logical step in their career and fewer of those who think of the Peace
Corps a s a risk-taking, way-out
adventure unrelated to their life
plans.
"There is little evidence, however, t h a t this has adversely affected the Volunteer's performance.
The evidence is t h a t Volunteers are
more solid, reliable, and technically
qualified."
Charlie P e t e r s , Director of Evaluation, pointed out t h a t one element
which h a s caused a change in the
Volunteers i s t h a t now the average
age level is down to 23 or 24 y e a r s .
Before there were more 25- and 26year-olds, who tended to give it
built-in leadership.
A consensus among Peace Corps
workers and associates is t h a t the
people in it have brought to the
government a sense of enthusiasm
and real commitment which has
been absent from too many government agencies for too many years.
And despite the usual t r i a l s of
growing up, the Peace Corps, for a
Washington agency, still r e t a i n s a
refreshing a i r .
It is built upon a foundation of
idealism and practicality -and oriented to m a k i n g the world a little
bit better.

Community
Change—
Goal of Volunteers
Peace Corps community development projects -are exactly what the
n a m e implies.
Such projects, concentrated in Latin America, can mean teaching
Peruvians t o l a y bricks, building an aqueduct in Colombia, or conducting
adult literacy classes in a Brazilian "favella."
One Peace Corps Volunteer working on a community development
project wrote, " I had been sitting on the sidelines for twenty years
watching t h e world go t o pot and nobody asked me to do anything
about it. The Peace Corps did . . ."
T h e goals of the community development project a r e :
• E d u c a t i n g people to work together to define their own goals and
solving t h e problems necessary to achieve them.
• Getting governments to respond to community needs.
• Achieving material improvement in forms of specific technological
advancement and economic growth.
"The aim of community development is nothing less than a complete
change—-reversal o r revolution if you wish—in t h e social, economic,
and political p a t t e r n s of the country to which we a r e accredited," saicj
F r a n k Mankiewicz, Latin America regional director for the Peace Corps.
The community development project begins with t h e presence of
the Volunteer in the country.
His first step is getting to know the people—gaining their confidence.
This can be done in a variety of ways—organizing baseball teams, teaching English classes, visiting, talking o r attending a fiesta.
Next he organizes a community meeting. Volunteers have compared
this to t h e first d a y of school—mostly noise and bedlam. Here t h e
Volunteer tries to g e t the villagers t o discuss their problems. Generally
t h e m o s t this first meeting can do is arouse in .them an interest to meet
again.
Gradually t h e Volunteer leads t h e people into discovering their
problems and finding solutions, remembering t h a t some day he won't
be around and t h e y m u s t do it for thehiselves.
After a problem is recognized and a solution seen, shirt sleeves
a r e rolled up and t h e doing begins.
It is in t h e l a s t stage t h a t the Volunteer sees his success and it m a y
only be the building of a brick kiln, a chicken coop, o r a cleared road.
Community development is hard, mostly because it is like an iceberg with most of the development remaining beneath t h e surface.
Mickey Melragon, a returned P e a c e Corps Volunteer who worked on
the Alto Beni project in Bolivia, w r o t e about building a brick kiln.
"We realized w e needed a project t h a t could be successful, achieved
with a little fun, one which didn't rely on outside assistance, w a s practical from the colonizers' point of view, and one with an immediate
payoff.
" W e s t a r t e d t a l k i n g it over with people who had experience, how
valuable it could be, how i t could be used, etc. This process took a
little over a y e a r a s the colonizers were busy in their fields.
" B u t bit b y bit t h e y did t h e work and we were constantly re-defining
and reacting to them. Along t h e line we had successfully test-fired
and had positive evidence. W e then gave everyone two d a y s ' experience
with mixing mud and actually m a k i n g the bricks, c u t t i n g wood and
loading the kiln.
Many who objected on t h e g r o u n d s they didn't have t h e talents
a t the end of t h e day could count 100 real bricks and we could see a
look of self confidence, one of the things they lacked.
"Several from this experience continued m a k i n g bricks which they
could sell.
"This again w a s a lesson which w a s hard to b r i n g home. A businessm a n had to calculate how m a n y d a y s of work it took to make 1,000 crude
bricks, mix mud, g a t h e r wood, burn. Many wanted us to hire them as
day laborers, being afraid of assuming responsibility and not having
experience in practical m a t t e r s . "

TEACHING I N A W O M E N ' S CLUB. Volunteer Carolyn Dukes, a 1962 liberal arts graduate of Clark College, Atlanta, Ga., injtructs women in an Ivory Coast Village at p a r t of the Peace Corps " f o y e r f e m i n i n " project. The p ro g ra m concentrates on teaching
adult women literacy, homemaking and health care.

Coast " F o y e r F e m i n i n " p r o g r a m
may find children a t t e n d i n g classes,
but t h e m o t h e r s a r e the real students.
The F o y e r s a r e special schools,
established by t h e Ivory Coast government, for Ivoirienne women who
have had no previous education.
Directed by the ministry of education. F o y e r classes are concerned
with adult literacy, basic health
and homemaking. A t the request of
the government, t h e Peace Corps
entered this p r o g r a m with seven
Volunteers in 1962. There a r e now
18 Volunteers working in the Foyer
program, and t h e government h a s
requested 15 more.
'The Foyers a r e designed for adult
education, but children are allowed
to t a g along as p a r t of a program
to make attendance as easy as

possible for t h e mothers.
Classrooms a r e conveniently located and t h e women are encouraged t o a t t e n d whenever they can,
either in t h e m o r n i n g or afternoon
sessions. T h e schools adjust their
p r o g r a m s to fit the women's needs:
harvesting, daily m a r k e t i n g and
family needs a r e all considered.
In addition to the basic tools of
reading and writing, meal planning,
child care, sewing instruction and
nutrition a r e p a r t of the curriculum. Some of the Volunteers have
established "causeries culturelles,"
discussion groups in which the
women talk about social and civic
problems.
The Volunteers teach in French,
the national language of t h e Ivory
Coast, and work under the direction
of an "animatrice," who is an Ivoirienne woman who h a s had a secondary education and some special
training.
Volunteers in the larger, urban
schools have modern equipment to
use in their teaching, but t h e small-

er Foyers do without such things
as electric irons, stoves and sewing machines. Sometimes the only
equipment available is chalk and a
blackboard.
In a land where skyscrapers are
visible from small, centuries-old
fishing villages, t h e Peace Corps
Volunteer is helping t h e Ivory
Coast fill a n educational g a p . There
is no American analogy to the Foyer p r o g r a m , so t h e Volunteers a r e
t a u g h t the basics of this new a p proach to education in t h e t r a i n i n g
programs.
A previous knowledge of French
is a g r e a t asset for someone applying for the p r o g r a m , but not an
absolute necessity since instruction
in French is a large p a r t of the
training.
The F o y e r s are informal because
t h a t is the only way t h e y can be
effective, but the i-ationale behind
the program is a very serious—and
formal—attempt to equip t h e Ivoirienne women for the twentieth
century.

Colombia ETV Job
Done by Volunteers

EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION. A cioii of children watching educational television in Bogota, Colombia. Now teaching
students, the proiect is manned by Peace Corpi Volunteers working at technicians, producers and teachers.

Educational television may not be scoring well with all American
teachers, but pedagogues o f t h e Colombian variety can't get enough of it.
•The Peace Corps pilot project in educational TV, which opened up
during 1963 in Colombia, is now reaching about 150,000 students in
Bogota and vicinity, with such subjects as mathematics, natural sciences, geography and history.
Two t e a m s of Volunteers inaugurated this muss .schooling effort which
will become a n integral p a r t of Colombia's national educational system.
The first group of 43 Volunteers, trained a t the University of New
Mexico and t h e University of Nebraska with an equal number of Colombians, were television technicians, maintenanc(! and repairmen, prog r a m m e r s , producers, writers and teachers. A second grouj] of 50
Volunteer teachers w a s assigned to travel to the schools receiving
the broadcasts, acting in general as contacts between the teachers and
the program planners.
More t h a n 800 TV sets supplied by the Agency for International
Development under the Alliance for Progress have been installed
already. By December about 1,400 receivers are expected to be operating,
many in more remote areas.
Volunteer Charles M. Fitch is a director-producer in the p r o g r a m .
His job is to combine the educational concepts delineated by the Colombia
j Ministry of Education with modern, lively television-oriented a))proach to
i learning.
i "One day we might be filming on the Amazon," he says, " a n d the
i next up in a chilly forest . . . Now, through ETTV, t h e children and
1 teachers of Colombia are seeing things in their own country which they
never knew were there."
The problems of illiteracy and poor education are so acute in Colonihiii
t h a t teachers don't look upon the program as an "encroachment." The
150,000 program, according to one official, is "remarkable for its acceptance
and the cooperation of the Colombian teachers and students."

and protection of all, then all,

Name Withheld
Dear Editor:
The Lock Haven faculty and
s t u d e n t administration have
often asked for more student
co-operation and enthusiasm concerning school elections, policies,
and educational facilities. Most
students are swift to discuss
faults they find within the college framework, yet are reluctant to take any direct actions
which would correct those conditions.
Many times, those issues in
which we, as students, feel we
are right, the administration has
reasonable grounds for its opinions and edicts. However, recently an administrativfe, supposedly disciplinary, action has
caused not only resentment and
some misunderstanding, but also
the increased anger of the student body.
Friday night, March 19, at
10:30 came a bearer of bad tidings to the Union. All lights
snapped on, dancing stopped and
all of us there were ordered to
leave. Unable and perhaps unwilling to protest, each group
and couple started for the nearest exit. Thankfully, my closest friends and I have our own
cars, so we left for the Allegheny Dairy — to sit and talk,
listen to music, relax. But what
about those dorm students who
have only their own two feet?
As we walked towards the car,
I saw some couples headed in the
opposite direction of the dorms,
some joining others who had

I have been told that the reason for the early closing of the
Union was due to the property
destruction.
Granted, SOME
students have abused the furniture and walls. But take one
good look at the over-all condition of the Union, and it is no
great feat to r e a s o n that it
wouldn't really take abuse to
break a seat-back or collapse a
table. Not only is it in a general rundown state, it is too
small, and seemingly rodent-ridden. I have seen no prospect,
however, of a new Union being
completed next weekend, next
month, or even by the end of
the year. What are students
supposed to do with themselves
now that the most popular of

by D O N N WAGNER

What do popular singer Bobby
Freeman and Lock Haven State's
Don Faulkner have in common?
The answer is sinmple. Both
young men became famous recently because of the "Swim."
Freeman m a d e the song and
dance called the swim popular
the latter part of last year, while
Faulkner captured a state swimming title for the Bald Eagles.
Freeman received a great deal
more money for his achievement
and a lot more fame, but Faulkner matched Freeman's greenbacks with gold and s i l v e r
medals this past year.
Don, a second semester Sophomore majoring in Social Science,
made a little history of his own
for L o c k H a v e n State last
month by capturing a State
title in the J 0-yard free style
event. Faulkner in accomplishing the feat became the first
Maroon and Gray swimmer to
capture a gold medal in the state

tournament.
In past years the closest any
Lock Haven swimmer came to
winning a state crown, was last
winter when Lou Frain, a 1964
graduate ,and Don managed to
finish in second place in their respective events. Like most good
athletes, Don started his training at an early age.
U n l i k e most infants, Don
found crawling and walking
very boring, he instead found
splashing and k i c k i n g in the
water more to his liking. Don's
interest in swimming grew until
he began to swim competitively
at the age of 14.
Swimming for Monterey High
School of California in his first
two years of high school, he collected his first gold medal. This
addition to his trophy case was
obtained by winning the district championship.
After his fine start on the

west coast, Don found himself
in his junior year in high school
moving to the East. Much to
Don's dismay, he discovered that
Silver Springs High School in
Maryland did not have swimming listed among its varsity
sports. Being the determined
young man he is, Don did not
let this stop him. No sooner
had swimming season started
than Don was competing for the
Silver Spring Y. M. C. A. In
Maryland, the Silver Spring Y.
M. C. A. is considered by many
to be one of the top five Y. M.
C. A. teams in the State. In his
two years of competition with
the Y.M.C.A., Don added over
twenty medals and trophies to
his growing collection of awards.
Don, after graduating from
Silver Springs in 1963 continued
his medal collecting in the college ranks, as he won many first,
second, and third place awards
for Lock H a v e n State in his
Freshman and Sophomore years.

Double your pleasure, double
your pitching staff is the favorite s l o g a n of Lock Haven
State's baseball coach, Stan Daley, these days as his Bald Eagle
nine opens its 1964-65 campaign
tomororw afternoon at 2:00
p.m. on the Mill Hall field.
Facing another guelling season, Lock Haven State's baseball
team will play six double-headers along with three single contests this spring. With these
six twin-bills scheduled and only
one returning starting pitcher,
Coach Daley needs to boost his
pitching staff in order to confine the opposition's batting attack.
Jeff Ward, a crafty, hardthrowing right-hander a l o n g
with last year's relief hurler,
Herman Wertz, will produce the
nucleus around which Coach
Daley and the Bald Eagles will
form their pitching staff.
Ward, last year was instrumental in leading the Bald Eagles
to a 9-9 record, as he was the
only Lock Haven hurler to finish
the 1963-64 campaign with a

winning record.
Veteran infielders, Chris Klinger, Walt Horner, Bob Grieb,
Dick Martz and Stan Evingham,
along with outfielders Ken Vandermark, Mark Hoover and
Butch Watson are expected to
supply most of the punch for
the Bald Eagles.
According to Coach Daley,
"Because of the poor weather, it
is too early to pick out our outstanding rookies this year. The
team has had only limited outdoor practice and until the newcomers prove themselves, the
veterans will have to carry the
team through our first several
games."
"If our pitching can hold up
until a c o u p l e of the team's
rookies get a chance to hurl, we
could do all right, but if we
can't dissolve our present pitching problem early, the hitters
will have to carry the team's
success."
"Defensively, we stand very
good, and it's only a matter of
time and practice until our hitters get into the groove."

McDermott Wins
Third Title
Bob McDermott, a s e c o n d
semester transfer student from
NYU, r e c e n t l y captured his
third straight AAU Eastern title
for the New York Athletic Club
as he pinned ex-collegiate student Lance Parker in the finals
to walk off with top honors.
The annual tournament was held
in New York City, March 27.
McDermott, who won the
213 S weight class, along with
ex-Lock Haven State great, Fred
Powell, were instrumental in
leading the N Y AC to its seventh straight AAU title. Powell, who won the 125 S pound
division, defeated Cornell's Joe
Crow 3-0, and pinned Cassidy,
an ex-Eastern standout, enroute
to first title.
McDermott, who will not be
able to wrestle varsity for Coach
Gray Simon's grappelrs until
next January, is rated by many
New York sportswriters as one
of the best heavyweight wrestlers
in the country.
McDermott,
along with NAIA champ, Jerry
Swope, John Smith, a Virginia
State titlist, and Jim Blacksmith, a 1964 PIAA champion,
will provide plenty of punch
for Lock Haven State's upperweights next year.
