Students Explore Peace Corps Princeton, X.J. (UPS) Delegates to a conference oa American Youth and the Emerging Nations voted to set cp a permanent organi zation to explore possibili ties of setting cp a youth peace corps. More than 100 student leaders from Eastern schools met with business men from Africa, Asia and Latin America at Prince ton University recently in an effort to initiate nation wide support for the peace corps. Such a corps wkM be de signed to provide an expres sion of American concern and to work wi'Ji local prob lems in the world's under developed areas. Participants discussed government sponsored pro posals for a peace corps offered by Rep. Henry Re ass (Dem.-Wisconsin), and Sen. Hubert Humphrey (Denx-Minaesota), both of whkh have been endorsed by President - elect John Kennedy in recent speeches in San Francisco and Chica go. A privately sponsored plan presented by Dr. Tho mas Melady, African af fairs authority who called the conference, was also discussed. Major addresses were given by Sir Hugh :ylor. President of the Woodrow Wilson National Feowship Foundation, Taylor Osl rader of American Metals Climax and Dr. Melady. Represented at the dis cissions were President el ect Kennedy, Senator Humphrey, the Young Adalt Council, the National Stu dent Association, th Foun dation for Youth and Stu dent Affairs, Institute of International Education, American Society of Afri can Culture, AFL-CIO and pax Romana as well as many other interested groups. i 'i 1J- Louise Shadley, Leta Powell, Dennis Sheefer and Larry Long rehearse a scene from University Theater's next play, "A More Wedding Rings Undergraduate Hit 22 Percent Marriage among under graduate college students is rapidly increasing as about 22 are married, reported the Registrar's office.

However, since the war the government prompted many military veterans to further their education and provided funds for them to attend col lege. Many of these veterans were married and started the big movement to the college campuses, she said. Now Accepted Now the major reason for the increase is that the stu dent body is now accepting the married students as a part of the University, Mrs. Gisgles said. In turn, the married students are partici pating in more activities and are closer friends to the a r j whole student body.

"In this play, the char acters are deep and compli cated and difficult to portray." The play itself is a giant real classic in American theater," William continued.

In the play, Blanche Du Boss, a young woman bred on a rich plantation gone to seed, arrives in the French quarter of New Orleans to stay with her sister and her rough-hewn Polish brother-in-law. Stanley Kowalski. Blanche lives in a world of the past and seems unable to face reality in the sordid sur roundings. Stanley unravels details of her former life, and torments her until she is fi nally committed to an asy lum. The whole play is bailt arMnd the conflicting views of life held by Stanley and Blanche.

Honorary Colonel .Pearl Swansea, now Mrs. Joseph Noh of Sioux City, Iowa, was the first Honorary Colonel in 1922. This title continued until 1949 when, due to the open ing of Air Force and Navy ROTC detachments at the University, the name was changed to Honorary Com mandant.

'The Mexican Revolution is dead, so why hasn't the death notice been circulat ed?" asked Mexico's leading intellectual, Dr. Daniel Cosio Villegas in the first of this year's Montgomery lectures. Dr. Cosio said that the rev olution gave Mexico her ide ology and language and that "so long as no new ideas are evolved, it will be nec essary to continue witn me old." Unknown Evil It is commonly thought to be "better to endure a known evil rather than to experi ment with an unknown good, he noted. He indicated, however, that he did not believe that Mexico's political, social and economic situation was infe rior to the best found in any Latin American country to day. The noted educator said that Chile, Uruguay and Cos ta Rica have a potential for real and stable democracy which is limited by their scarcity of physical and hu man resources. "Argentina vi'J take years to recover Zrom the physical and moral damage? inflicted by the Pera dictatorship, and Brazil, with physical and hu:r.an elements far superior to Mexico's, has not progressed as was expected of her," he added. Black Cloud But, he noted, there is a black cloud on the horizon that few Mexicans and for eigners have noticed until now.

"The revolution consisted in the destruction of the past rather than the construction of the future. The haphazard development became the same as carrying the country back to the exact point of mental outlook before the revolution," he said. Why did the revolution pro duce a reaction? Dr. Cosio attributed it to a "lack of ideologies to form goals and the failure of the most prepared people to join National Dental Exams Ttcelte-Hour Tests Giren to Juniors Some 32 juniors in Dental college will finish 12 hours of laborious testing today as they complete one of the most important trials of their ca reers, according to Dr. Ralph Ireland, dean of the Dental College.

"In the sphere of economic action, the authority and force of the State have degen erated to the point where the state is the prisoner of pri vate enterprise. "If it wanted to fight, the government would win, even using only legal means. But the government does not want to fight nor even to dis agree with private enter prise," he said. "It is already remarkable that a considerable increase in the number and magnitude of public needs has not been matched by a change in tax rates or by the creation of new taxes," Cosio stated. He explained that 60 per cent of industrial investment to date comes from private sources. Inflation Restriction "Because the State has been unsuccessful in restrict ing inflation, the real wages of the labor force have notice ably diminished, and it is the workers who, ultimately, are paying for the industrial progress of Mexico," he said. Dr. Cosio, who is economic adviser to the Mexican Sec retary of Treasury and to the National Bank of Mexico, al so noted that economic influ ence has begun to creep into political influence, so much so that "the State today would have difficulty in tak ing fundamental economic policy measures without first consulting the country's great banking and industrial i firms. "It is difficult to give an opinion on whether Mexico caa go back to a course more in keeping with the or iginal objectives of the Rev- ' olution." he said. principal points toward the country should direct it self. "It may be that the real di lemma for Mexico lies in growing faster at the top only, or at a slower rate only at the bottom of the social pyramid," he concluded. Foundation Construction Advancing Work on the new Wesley Foundation Student Chapel is progressing ahead of sched ule according to Rev. J. Ben ton White, associate direc tor of the foundation. Concrete has been poured for the basement walls and construction of the steel I framework is expected to get under way later this week so mat uie building mar be ready for occupancy by Aug. 1, White said. Methodist students are working toward a donation goal of $5,000 for the build ing project A total of $65,000 still has to be raised to finance the building itself before the proj ect of furnishing the chapel begins. Rev. White said that much of the $55,000 is expected to be raised by mission funds from the Nebraska Confer ence of Methodist Churches and from individual donations which he and Dr. William B. Gould, director of Wesley Foundation, will solicit throughout the state. The three story structure at 16th and U Streets is ex pected to serve nearly 2,000 Methodist students.
