Peace Corps' 1963 Budget Indicative of Success
Editor's note: This is the
fourth in a series of depth
reports by Jan Sack on
President John F. Ken
nedy's Peace Corps. To
day's article states some of
the criticisms and success
ess of the Peace Corps pro
gram. By JAN SACK
If the Congressional ac
tion of passing President
John Kennedy's request for
$63.75 million for the Peace
Corps budget for the fiscal
year 1963 is an indication
of this organization's suc
cess, then the Peace Corps
is a success.
In passing this budget re
quest, Congress made pos
sible a program which will
involve 6,700 volunteers in
training or abroad by June
30, 1963. Of the ?63.75 mil:
lion requested, more than
half $32.39 million is
required to meet the con
tinuing costs of approximat
ely 5,100 volunteers entering
training prior to the end of
August 1962, whose entry
into service will be financed
from fiscal year 1962 funds.
The remaining $31.36 mil
lion is requested to meet
the fiscal year 1963 costs of
volunteers entering training
after the end of August
1962. Administrators of the
Peace Corps estimate that
the average cost per volun
teer is $9,000 per year.
In answer to a question
about the Peace Corps be
ing a juvenile experiment
and that it is also naive and
arrogant, Shriver said, "I
think the best comment on
the Peace Corps is the re
action of the foreign per
sons who have come into
contact with it actually op
erating in the field. In every
country where the Peace
Corps is now in operation
we have been requested to
send back more volun
teers." Another question fired at
the Peace Corps diredtor
during the session was, "At
one point, you asked in
dustry .and labor to grant
employees leaves of ab
sence and a certain amount

Miss E-Week Anne Savidge examines one of the
models and exhibits included in this year's 50th E-Week
Open House held yesterday. The model pictured was
designed and constructed by James Larson, an architec
ture student, and is a memorial to commemorate the first
moon flight.
Shock Tube Device
Measures Forces
iSome Lincolnites are dis
cussing the sonic booms
heard recently in the area. A
University student is studying
them to warn more about
them. '
Allen Otte, a sophomore in
mechanical engineering, has
constructed a shock tube for
E'-Week, a device to demon
strate something of the forces
involved when a high-speed
missile breaks the sound bar
rier. The device was one of
the E-Week displays viewed
by trie public at the open
house yesterday.
Allen has constructed his
electro-dynamic tubs &
small paddle wheel which re
volves when the high pressure
waves are generated.
Larger and more complicat
ed tubes are being construct
ed at universities to study the
effect of shock velocity in the
fields of plasma physics and
magnito gas dynamics.
This field of study is one of
the most important efforts un
derway throughout educa
tional institutions in the na
tion. Many space flight prob
lems, from the re-entry of ve
hicles to an atmosphere to
the waves created when air
craft fly above the speed of
sound, are being investigated
with such equipment.
of job security so they
could join the Peace Corps
and come back and get
their jobs back two years
hence. Have you had
enough cooperation from
these groups?"
In answering Shriver
said, "I don't know of a
single case so far where an
employer has refused to
grant a leave of absence.
We haven't had occasion
to ask for many, but in se
veral where we have asked,
those leaves have been giv
en." Later in the program
Shriver said that the Peace
Corps is emphasizing lan
guage instruction more
now than before. The Peace
Corps, from the beginning,
insisted that those volun
teers going overseas have a
language, but he said the
amount of linguistic ability
will have to be increased.
As to the future of the
Peace Corps, Shriver said
he didn't necessarily see
the Peace Corps as a per
manent U.S. agency, but
"I think it is possible that
the Congress would approve
the continuation of the
Peace Corps on the basis
of success we have actually
obtained in the field."
Even with all the enthus
iasm shown for the Peace
Corps, one newsman asked
about the danger of over
selling the program and
about countries that want
more volunteers than could
be sent.
"We make it clear right
from the beginning that we
never will be able to meet
the demand. We have re
quests at the Peace Corps
headquarters today for 15,
000 Peace Corps volunteers
around the world. We have
only sent 698. Many coun
tries know that they never
will be able to get all of
their requests filled," Shriv
er said.

Ft. Lauderdale Has Changed
By TOM KOTOUC
Twenty-seven thousand college students drinking,
twisting and sun bathing on the bt.-sdi that's how the
newspapers and Confidential magazine describe Ft. Lau
derdale over spring vacation.
But the real Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., 1962-that's a dif
ferent story.
Ray Rose of the Ft. Lauderdale's recreation de
partment explains the program of voluntary recreation
set up by the cky this year:
"We started with a budget of $11,400 and three twist
contests each day on the beach. "We brought in three
or foure live bands during the afternoons each week and
put them on a platform right in the center of the beach.
"Every afternoon we staged a limbo contest, a hula
hoop tournament and a bathing suit contest," Rose added.
The coeds were there, in a ratio cf three men to
two coeds, greatly improved over the 14 to 1 ratio of
last spring.
Daily tournaments in basketball, touch football and
volleyball on the beach with certificates of merchandise
to the winners was also sponsored by the city.
"A tug-of-war contest between colleges or sections
of the country was popular, so much so that we snapped
two inch and a half ropes before the first week was
out," Kose continuec.
Referring to the twist contests and dances held on
the beach at night, Rose said, "In the. 49 nights we spon
sored the dances, I've never worked with nicer people".
To keep them busy and out of trouble was the motto,
he added.
And as for last year's purported riots, "Capt. George
Hockette of the Ft. Lauderdale police said, "If there were
50 arrests this year. 90 percent of them were for traffic
violations.
Twenty-two uniformed officers patrolled the stretch
of beach at Ft. Lauderdale this year, and, according to
Hockette, the students both accepted and appreciated po
lice supervision.
What about parents letting their college-age sons or
daughters come to Ft. Lauderdale alone? Is it safe?
"We lost a lot of the trouble-makers this yeai to
Datona beach," said Hockette, "where they allow drinking
0" the beach with a minimum of police supervision."
"I'd say if the parent knows his child and his tendency
to get into trouble, he'd find Ft. Lauderdale like any
other place in America.
"Anyone can have fun down here and not get into
trouble," Hockette concluded.
