Discourages Re-Enlistment In Corps
By ANDA ANDERSON
"The Peace Corps is not
interested in people who want
to make the Corps a career,"
said James Moody, a repre
sentative of the Peace Corps'
programming office.
Moody, who returned from
Pakistan ten days ago, was
in charge of the Peace Corps
program there. He was a
guest at the National Univer
sity Extension Association
Conference at the Nebraska
Center for Continuing Educa
tion. "We don't encourage re-enlistment
because we need a
continual turnover of. ideas
and people," Moody com
mented. Moody added, "We must
have a turnover of blood and
ideas, otherwise rigormortis
will set in. '
"Former Corps members
can use their talents in vari
ous side fields when they get
out. They can educate new
people to the cutlure, langu
age, and practices of a coun
try," Moody added.
Educational Possibilities
Moody cited Malaya as an
example of the educational
possibilities: "When the Corps
was first organized, there
were only five people in the
United States who could speak
the language. Now when those
serving in Malaya get out,
there will be 60 who will be
able to speak it fluently.
"Their talents won't be
wasted," Moody commented.
Having served in a foreign
country, will have made
them a better informed per
sons, and persons aware of
other people's problems."
"We don't attempt to trans
plant the American ways
wholesale. Rather, we work
with the people, adding man
power to programs already
in existence," Moody said.
Moody, 26, who worked two
years in Yugoslavia and a
year in Iran with CARE prior
to joining the Corps, feels
that a "social evolution is
taking place in the world to
day. Societies are changing
rapidly and are striving to
improve conditions, raise the
standard of living, and bring
about social justice."
Moody feels the Corps is
doing a fine job: "This is
evidenced by the requests we
have had from countries
where Corps members have
been serving. The requests
have doubled and tripled
since it was organized."
"We are not interested in
college graduates alone, but
rather people who are
skilled and who know how to
put theory into practice."
Peace Corps members art
not professional agents, but
are individuals working In tlit
program on their own Initia
tive, Moody said.
"The Corps is more inter
ested in building initiative,
self confidence and self-respect
than merely construct
ing roads or other physical
accomplishments."

-Dedicated, Unselfish Workers
Peace Corps Creates
New American Image
Editor's Note: This is the
third in series of depth re
ports on President John F.
Kennedy's Peace Corps. To
day's article deals with
the sacrifices made by the
Corps' workers.
By JAN SACK
Dedicated, unselfish work
in 12 countires on three
continents is now being
rendered by 698 Peace
Corps volunteers. These
young men and women
have done such a good job
that they are creating a
new American image.
Several reasons for the
Peace Corps' success are:
the volunteer works within
their system for them; he
helps to fill their needs as
they see them; he arrives
on schedule; he speaks
their language; he lives in
the way they live and un
der their laws; he does not
try to change their relig
ion; he does not seek to
make a profit from con
ducting business in their
country; and he does not
interfere in their political
and military affairs.
Young Tom Scanlon, as
signed to Chile wrote a let
ter to the Peace Corps
headquarters explaining
some of the difficulties
and challenges that faced
him. In this letter he said,
"I feel that a major part
of my responsibilities to the
Preace Corps lies in what
I can teach my fellow citi
zens of the United States
about problems facing the
peoples of other nations in
the world."
Much of the work in Chile
Is being made in the area
of rural education and
Scanlon reported, "With a
few new farming and hus
bandry techniques and
some elementary habits of
calculations, the campes
inos (rural Indian peasants)
could make a better life
for themselves. It is this
fact which makes our work
more challenging than dis
couraging." Corps in Chile
Peace Corpsmen working
Jn Chile provide visual aids,
pamphlets and movies il

Panhellenic Action Concerns
'Room Rush' Interpretation
By WENDY ROGERS
A definition of "room rush
ing" and the "general party
area" for Rush Week was ap
proved at a special meeting
of Panhellenic Council Tues
day night.
The motioa, plus an inter
pretation of the houses'
"lower level" as a part of
the general party area, were
presented at the group's reg
ular Monday session, then
taken to he sororities for dis
cussion before Tuesday's ac
tion. The following motion was
passed by unanimous vote to
be included in the rush rules:
"No room rushing shall be
done at any parties. All rush
ing shall be done in the gen
eral party area: first floor
living room, the dining room,
and the basement area. Room
rushing is defined as singling
out a girl or group of girls
away from the general party
area which includes the din
ing room in order to give
"we must also use an in
direct approach for the
most important thing we
can teach the campesinos
is what they can do for
themselves."
In the work done in Chile
thus far, Scanlon noted that
the cooperation from the
natives has been excellent.
"The Campesinos were us
ually flattered that a North
American had come so far
to work with them even
though they knew little
about the United States."
He further observed that
"the higher social classes
haven't quite figured me
out yet. One time they see
me working through Osorno
in old clothes, caked with
dust and with a sleeping
bag on my back. The next
time I was standing before
them at a banquet in my
campus shop, ivy-league
suit explaining our work."
As is to be expected in
this type of work, there is
some local Communist
backed opposition. In speak
ing of this Scanlon said,
"Still we work not so much
for the downfall of Commu
nism as the elevation of
the campesino. Commu
nism is a symptom; pov
erty is the disease; and, if
our works were motivated
by a fear of Communism
instead of human compas
sion for human misery, we
would never succeed."
Other Corpsmen
Many other young Peace
Corpsmen just like Tom
Scanlon are hard at work
in other underdeveloped
countries lifting the world's
people upward. Karen
Long, Nebraska's First
Peace Corps woman and
former staff member of
the Daily Nebraskan, is in
the Philippine Islands.. Ka
ren is teaching elementary
school and also has two
classes in adult education.
She teaches school from
7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at
which time she is tempo
rarily halted because all
means of public transporta
tion ceases at 6 p.m. Be
cause of transportation dif
ficulties, Karen's speaking
engagements and traveling
is done on the weekends.

Spiking' Stricken
The rule concerning "spik
ing" was stricken from the
rush rules during the Mon
day session, and a new mo
tion changed Part II, Section
B to read:
"There will be no oral bid
ding. Oral bidding will be un
derstood to mean inviting
anyone into membership
prior to formal bid day, or
using persistent persuasion to
secure a commitment from
the rushee for the preference
of its group."

session, members were as

which has been viewed each
year by thousands of Nebras
kans. The exhibitions will be
on display at the open
house from 2 to 10 p.m.
A few of the highlights this
year include demonstrations
of huge radio tubes of yester
year contrasted with tiny
transistors used today, a
rainfall simulator, which
member of the opposing team
is pulled into the water-filled
trenches.
Brawny collegians will re

a catcher's mask. The object
is to dismount the opponent's
rider or drive the opposing
team out of the lane. The
winning team will be deter
mined by the best two out of
three charges.
The bicycle obstacle race
will consist of ten laps around
the tractor test track. Obsta

announced the selection of
seven Student Tribunal judges
for the 1962-63 school year at
yesterdays Council meeting.
They are Richard Schmo
ker, law college representa
tive; Harold DeHart, Bill
Holland, Patrick Manrose,
Steve Tempero, senior repre
sentatives ; Tom Chandler and
Dick Rosenburg, junior rep
resentatives. In other business, the Coun
cil rejected by straw vote the
suggestion of the Final Exam
Faculty Senate subcommittee
to shorten the final exam
period from eight to five- or
six days.
Final Exam chairman Jim
Killinger explained that the
shortened exam period was
requested to permit a longer
school year. The days saved
by shortening the exam pe
riod would be used for class
room instruction.
The shorter final exam
period would be effected by
one of three ways:
1) by shortening the period
of time allowed for each ex
am from three hours to 1
hour and 50 minutes,
2) by scheduling three-hour
exams each day, one at night,
or
3) by taking exams during
classtime in the last one or
two weeks of school by di
viding the final into seg
ments. Member Chip Kuklin voiced
Council sentiment in objecting
to the proposed change: "I
and many others learn the
semester's material in the
last eight days, and would
not like to shorten this study
time."
Kuklin also questioned
whether the instructors would
actually shorten the exam if
the time were cut to an hour
and 50 minutes. '

Six State Senators
Are Jr. IFC Guests
The first "Senators Day" at
the University, sponsored by
the Junior Interfraternity
Council, was termed a suc
cess by Bob Weaver, presi
dent. Six of Nebraska's state sen
ators were hosted to a lunch
eon by the Council and then
given a tour of the campus.
"We wanted to give the
senators a chance to look at
the University through the
eyes and guidance of the stu
dents," said Weaver.
The Council invited all 43
senators, but only Fern
Orme and Marvin Stromer,
William Moulton and Sen.
and Mrs. Ross Rasmussen,
Sen. and Mrs. Willard Wal
do, and Sen. and Mrs. II. L.
Gerhart attended.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
spoke at the luncheon on the
education needs of the fu
ture. Unemployment
Most of tlie unemployment
today is due to the large
number of unskilled workers,
the Chancellor told the group.
The educated individuals are
quickly absorbed by indus
try, business, and educational
institutions, he added.
Dave DeVries, chairman cf
special projects for Jr. IFC,
was in charge of the pro
gram, i '
The senators were divided
in two groups for the tour,
according to Weaver, who es
corted one group. John Gott
schalk served as guide lor
the other group.
The idea for "Senators
Day stemmed from a
speech given by Gov. Frank
Morrison in which he sug
gested that ' the students
bring the state senators to
campus in order to acquaint
them with the University and

the students, and make them
feel a part of it.
'Good Suggestion'
"It was such a good sug
gestion, we jumped at the
chance," reported Weaver.
DeVries said the project
might become an annual af
fair. "We wanted to acquaint
the students with their sena
tors whose influence directly
affects their lives as students
and citizens of Nebraska."
Dr. C. B. Schultz ex
plained the operation of the
museum and revealed some
of the changes that would be
made when the art depart
ment moves to the new Shel
don Art Galleries.
Showing the group Love Li
brary was Dr. Frank Lundy.
"Everyone was very interest
ed in the new microfilming
system at the library," add
ed Gottschalk.
Dr. Emanuel Wishnow gave
the group a viev of the Mu
sic building and its condition,
and Dr. James Miller and Dr.
Dudley Bailey explained the
English department.
Avery Report
Dr. Norman Cromwell gave
the group a run down on Av
ery, and Dr. Niles Bernard
reported' on the procedures of
the mechanical engineering
department.
"It was lucky for us that
the E-Week displays were out
this week," said Weaver.
"They were most interesting
and impressive."
In his welcome to the
group, Weaver said he hoped
the senators would continue
this practice in future years
in order to learn more about
the University, and also to
give the students a chance
to learn more about the sen
ators. "It must have been a suc
cess," said Gottschalk. "Sev
eral of the senators said they
wished more students would
come to the capitol and see
them."
