Few Midwestern Specialists
Answer Challenge Offered
By Peace Corps Sykes
"Although the Midwest has
trained the best agricultural
specialists in the world, only
several dozen from this area
have answered the challenge
of the Peace Corps," said
James Sykes, Peace Corps
field representative.
"Two vital agricultural pro
jects in key underdeveloped
nations were cancelled last
year from a dire lack of ap
plicant trained in agricultur
al skills."
Speaking Dec. 30th, 1961, to
the Big Eight Student Govern
ment Association meeting at
the Nebraska Center for Con
tinuing Education, Sykes, pro
gram associate of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin YMCA,
said that only 52 of 737 stu
dents in Peace Corps train
ing or service abroad had
come from the Big Eight
schools. Only six of those
came from Nebraska.
"Low figures seemed to be
a result of the inadequate in
formation about the Peace
Corps," he said.

JEducation held over Christ
mas vacation.
, "We live in a one world
community divided by walls
of caste, race, ignorance, hate
and mistrust," said the gov
ernor, speaking at the Friday
evening (banquet.
"We must pierce the bar
r i e r s of misunderstanding
with the wholesale inter
change between student and
student and adult and adult."
Morrison said that the conflict
between the Communist and
democratic systems will be
decided not by which system
can checkmate the moves of
the other, but "by which
system is on the offensive."
In West Germany and West
Berlin recently, he said, I saw
what it meant to have division
and strife in your own back
yard. There Germans related
to Germans in East Berlin
watched and waited for an op
portunity to simply wave to
their relative on the other
side of the wall, and some
times this relative was work
ing on the wall itself, guarded
by soldiers of the East Ger
man army to prevent their
escape, who in turn were
guarded by other soldiers.

volunteers have come from
the east and west coasts from
schools with large numbers
of international students, he
said. "Associated with these
students on a day to day
basis, these Peace Corps vol
unteers have recognized their
responsibility to and the tre
mendous potential for good
within the Peace Corps."
There seems to be a defin
ite feeling of inferiority
among students of the Big
Eight schools in agricultur
al training, Sykes said. "I
call it 'the great humility'
as a student says what can
I do to serve the cause of
world peace."
As William Douglas pointed
out recently, Sykes said,
"Once, we were warm heart
ed travelers, selfless mission
aries, skippers of fabulous
ships, teachers, philosophers
of the Abe Lincoln stamp.
"After 1946, we become the
people who lived in the big
white houses on the hill, large
ly unconcerned with those who
inhabit the slums around us.
The bomb; the jet fighter
plane, the tank, became our
insignia.
Saint Francis
"At a time when we needed
thousands of men like Saint
Francis walking humbly
among the villages of the
world, we filled resort areas
overseas with people who only
occasionally sniffed of foul
air that the miserable natives
breathed."
The period from 1946
through 1961, has been called
by many '"the era of bad
feelings," Sykes said.
A barrier of unskilled work
ers, too few teachers and doc
tors and illiteracy stands be
tween the ideals and ideas of
national leaders in Pakistan
and Nigeria, Iraq and Chile
and the realization of their
plans, he said.
"It is the Peace Corps men
who can help these people
of underdeveloped nations
across the world , to realize
their potentials and help them
become self-sufficient.
Own Age ,
"The volunteers will teach,
work and Jearn. beside those
his own age in the nation in
which he has been assigned,
smashing poverty, tyranny,
disease and war itself." "Be
fore volunteer goes abroad,
he has been carefully screened
from a pool of more than 27,
000 applicants." Volunteers
are selected on the basis of
intelligence, knowledge of Un
ited States history, health and
stamina, emotional stability,
personal attributes,' sense of
mission, patience and respect
for an acceptance of other
people," he said.
After three through s i x
months of intensive training
in language, culture and tra
dition of the area to which
he will be assigned, United
States history, world affairs,
medical preparation and phy
sical education, including the
national sports and dances of
the nation to which he is go
ing, the Peace Corps volun
teer then goes to Camp Ham
marstjold in Puerto Rico.
"There he undergoes 'com
mando' training to test his
ability, psychologically and
physically, working with peo
ple who have the aspirations
of people from underde
veloped nations." .
Bv this time. Sykes said.
the volunteer knows how to
respond to the press of the
nation to which he will be
sent, which, if it is Commu
nist, will say that he comes
in the name of capitalism
and colonialism.
The volunteer is able to an
swer Questions in the native
tongue about the place of la
bor in the American econo
my, the American stand on
Berlin. Little Rock and the
military bases that circle So
viet Russia.
"It is then." said Sykes,
"that the volunteer is ready
to go to help others develop
a self respect and dignity-
to help them become fully
human and to provide a man
with the means for securing
help and indeed life itself for
his family."

I did however appreci
ate the method by which
you overcame their per
nicious influence. Your
tactic of selling no ads,
so that they could not put
out the proposed sixteen
page magazine (which
would, as all sensible men
are aware, have been
sheer folly!) was both
brilliant and charmingly
spiteful. Furthermore you
showed discretion and taste
in omitting much of the
best material which you
were to have published;
this had the effect of mak
ing the editors more a
laughingstock than they
ought to have been, and,
although it may have been
a moderately vicious ac
tion, and might even
prompt some to call you
stupid or idiotic, it was
nevertheless entirely jus
tified in this situation,
which might so easily
have got out of hand had
you not taken stern meas
ures. I will mention that I
feel this -kind of issue
serves some small pur
pose: it makes possible
the laudable and demo
cratic publication of some
miserable writing, which
would , never have ap
peared in the decadent
magazine Scrip. Indeed,
I have been encouraged
. by your issue to submit a
work of my own, for I
have always wanted to be
published, but until this
time have assumed that
literary quality was de
manded. Since literary
quality obviously is not
essential, I submit the fol
lowing poem, in hope that
you will consider publish
ing it along with my letter:

teaching in Nebraska:
Grants will be made
through Nebraska colleges to
send certain professors to the
University tor one year of
graduate or post-graduate
work. Grants will be made
to the professor and to the
school. The school s grant will
finance the cost of the teach
er's replacement for the year.
A series of short duration
science seminars and confer
ences for the state's colleges
will be heki at the Nebraska

Ten Inmates
Participate
In Lab Diet
Ten State Penitentiary In
mates recently ended their
tenth and last week on a bis-
cuit and pudding diet, which
was done in cooperation with
the University's research nu
trition laboratory.
Deputy Warden John Green
holtz reported, "Some are
feeling pretty good, some not
.too strong and all are anxious
to get back to work."
The inmates, all volunteers,
were helping in a study to de
termine how much panothenic
acid, an essential B vitamin,
is necessary to the normal hu
man diet.
For ten weeks, they ate
nothing but a bland, laboratory
produced diet of biscuits,
puddings and mint plus tea,
coffee or 7-Up. Panothenic
acid had been eliminated from
some of the ten inmates'
meals but not from some of
the others.
The inmates also had to
keep daily records and had
frequent blood tests made. Dr.
Hazel Fox of the University's
nutrition laboratory super
vised the diet. She and her
staff will analyze the results.
. The 10 volunteers will get a
regular soft diet for the next
"control ' week, with records
still kept.
