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:

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-

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

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!

of careful selection during
training is shown by the
fact that the resignation
of volunteers in active I
service is the lowest of
the foreign community
abroad approximately I
three per cent.) 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.
Our eight days of train
ing in Laoag was our
first extended experience
with Filipino hospitality,

THE REMARKABLE
Brando! 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. Two of his fi
aest, "Viva Zapata!"
(20th Century-Fox, 1952)
and "The Teahouse of the
August Moon" (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,
1956),
wiD be shown tomorrow
evening at 7:30 at the
Union Auditorium in a
gala Film Committee
'Marlon Brando Night'
The 39, soon 40, year
old Brando is also of spe
cial interest to Nebras
kans since he was born
in Omaha. 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."
WITH SUCH a variety
of parts, it seems Brando
c a n n o t be categorized.

ance is a different indi
vidual creation. But in re-

Sard to a style or school
of acting, Brando is usu
ally considered the first
of the "Method" actors
to gain fame in motion
pictures. (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

ly bring to each specific
