On November 19, 1962, a group of fifty men and women, ranging in age from 20 to 30, and includ ing six married couples, landed at Manila Interna tional Airport. They rep resented the seventh group of Peace Corps volunteers assigned to the Philippines as education al aides in the elementa ry schools. (Actually they repre sented the eighth group of volunteers, but group five is assigned in the secondary schools. An ad ditional 23 who arrived in November, were assigned as rural development workers.) BY DECEMBER 1, the homes of these new vol unteers for the coining 20 months would be the rur al areas of the Philip pines. Their mis tie a would be basically two fold: to foster good will at a grass roots level and to contribute what they could to the improvement of education in the schools where they would be as signed. We have now been here more than three months, and a need is felt to try to explain to the people of the United States our impressions and reac tions to this unique -experience. (Since it is vir tually impossible, in view of the restrictions on time, to write all our friends personal letters, many of us are trying to -do the possible and write for an audience that might have particular in terest in the Peace Corps. I have chosen to write for a college audience, because this seems to be where interest in the Peace Corps is concen trated in greatest num bers. Not all of the vol unteers come from the ranks of students; in fact, a 70 year old woman re cently arrived as a vol Stamp Out 'Coed Clumps' Beware all male stu dents of a new danger lurking around the U of N This "danger" which I speak of is the "coed clumps" that exist on the sidewalks of this campus. Recognizing a coed clomp is no problem. They are composed of 2 . to 15 heads (covered with foliage of various colors), 12 to 60 shapely limbs, and they have an odor like a perfume counter with every bottle open. You can see them on any class day moving down the sidewalks in pulsating masses which trample ev erything they meet, and leave mutilated bodies in their wakes. If yon realize that a "dump" is coming to wards yon, escape is pos sible. However, the male often times becomes so engrossed in study ing some of the limbs of the oncoming "clump" that he fails to react in time U save himselL The result is another victim s t a np e d into the side walk. Keep your heads up fellows! When you see a coed clump approaching, you should: 1) Immediately seek cover behind a convenient Saturday March 23 0:00 unteer. Most of the vol-, unteers come from the campus, however, and those of you who may be considering application to the Peace Corps may be interested in the com ments of a volunteer al ready in the field.' We spent eight weeks in a vigorous and thor ough training program in Hilo, Hawaii, which is 250 miles and a far cry from Waikiki Beach. From ear ly morning until well past sundown, we studied the Ilocano dialect, world af- fxiZZf U I f " A 1 fairs and Philippine life, and had a rigorous physi cal training program and strong backgrounding in public health. At the con clusion of training, follow ing final selection, the group totaled about 73 per cent of those who had started training. (Those considering ap plication should not be deterred by what seems to be a relatively high disqualification rate dur ing training. The Peace Corps has good reasons for dismissing any from the program. The most common reasons are in conclusive demonstration of an ability to adjust in a foreign culture and the using of the Peace Corps experience as an escape from an emotional prob lem at borne. The wisdom tree (fire hydrants and trash cans will suffice in an emergency, or 2) Move off the side walk 14-17 feet and wait for it to pass. When caught by sur prise, you should turn tail and run back far enough to allow yourself time for accomplishing one of the two alterna tive escape plans. I do not feel that mere "avoidance" of the clumps is the answer to our problem. We are men, and as such, we must stand up for equal sidewalk rights. The best plan for regaining com plete use of the sidewalks is to eliminate the trou ble. There are already plans being formulated for placing pits at strate gic spots around campus with bamboo stakes jut ting up from their depths. This should eradicate the problem in short order. Until the time that these pits are completed, I would suggest purchasing a steam roller foi trans portation from class to class. Be of stout hearts, gentlemen, for we will be back in control of the sidewalks soon! M. F.

I Ours was the first j Philippines projectto I train at the Hawaii site, f The excellence of the lo- I cation is attested to by the fact that nearly all of us have found adjust- ment here quite easy. We attribute this to the fact 1 that we trained in a com- 1 m unity that is 80 per cent non-Caucasian, has 1 a large Filipino-American population and a climate as close to that of the Philippines as any part i of the United States. Our 1 dialect instructors were all native speakers, our S evening meal was Fili- pino food, prepared by a Filipino, and the director of the Philippine studies program is a professor at I the University of the Phil- ippines. f We spent two days in Manila, and that was long enough for most of I us. It is an extremely 1 dirty city, and the air is I polluted with smoke and I fumes from the numerous 1 small busses and trucks that belch filthy exhaust constantly. (A clean-up campaign is finally un- derway.) I OUR TIME in Manila was reserved for brief- ings at the embassy and a reception at the am- bassador's home, where we also met some junket- i ing congressmen, one of I whom indicated by his I comments that he hardly knew there was such a thing as the Peace Corps. I We flew from Manila via Philippine Air Lines to Laoag, the largest city north of Manila, almost at the northernmost part of the islands.

In his own way, the actor and star Marlon Brando is a master magi cian. Within 14 years and 14 released motion pic tures, Brando has estab lished a film image of such varying character izations that each new appearance seems an act of magic.

As a young performer, he appeared on Broadway in several plays, including "I Re member Mama," and fi nally enacted his most successful and best known "A Streetcar Named De s i r e." Brando's recogni tion in this role lead to Hollywood offers, and he has not returned to Broad way since lured away in 1950. IN HIS FIRST film, "The Men," Brando played a G.I. struck with paraplegia in the Korean War. Other roles have in cluded: The French Em peror Napoleon in "Desi ree,",The Manhattan gamb'ler Sky Masterson in the musical "Guys and Dolls," guitarist Val Xav ier in Tennessee Williams' "The Fugitive Kind," the rebel motorcyclist in "The Wild One," the Oki nawan Sakini in "The Teahouse of the August Moon," the foppish Fletcher Christian in the current "Mutiny on the Bounty," and a bandit in a film he also directed, the western "One-Eyed Jacks."

(Also called the "Torn T-Shirt" school of acting because of Bran do's interpretation of Ko walski, and certainly dif fering from the original Stanislavsky "Method1 school.) The actor identi fies himself with the part he is playing; he 'lives the part,' so to speak. The Torn T-Shirt' actor is characterized as moo dy, rebellious, wild, glassy-eyed, and can be lik ened to England's angry young men (Richard Bur ton, Laurence Harvey) and the Lost Generation of the 1930's (John Gar field) schools of acting. But whatever generaliza tions we may make about this particular school of acting, Brando and his contemporaries (Mont gomery Clift, Paul New v man, James Dean) usual ly bring to each specific part " individual qualities and understandings that AT THE PURPLE PIANO 1036 P Street -Non-Alcoholic Night Club" Lincoln's Only Nightly Live Entertain ment Open to the Public Tonight Only RON ROBINSON QUARTET Modern Jazz Open P.M. to 1 A.M.
