"In moss of the world, it's
six o'clock in the morning
and it's dead," Dave Pearson
said.
"When the Peace Corps
volunteer moves from a high
ly mobile society into a sleepy,
dawning world where progress
Is slow and sometimes feared,
he roust adapt rapidly if he
is to be successful."
Pearson, a Peace Corps In
formation officer, said it has
been this challenge and not
the stereotyped dangers of
mad hats, savage natives, and
wild animals that has cre
ated the most problems for
volunteers In the field.
During the first two years
f Peace Corps operation, Vol
unteers had few complaints
bout living and working con
ditions. Indeed, many govern
ments went out of their way
to see that Corpsmen had ade
quate living conditions.
But over and over, field rep
resentatives heard stories of
loneliness, boredom and soli
tude. In many areas, volun
teers were the only people
with an advanced education,
or even with the ability to
read and write.
"'Yet these Volunteers were
bright, inquisitive young peo

mo v In g society," Pearson
said. "To them, the apathy
and the quiet were actual en
emies, particularly for volun
teers living by themselves."
Almost all volunteers man
aged to succeed in spite of
these problems, however, and
in many cases they reported
that for the first times in
their lives thev were learning
to "really live."
"I had been exposed to an
education," Volunteer Ralph
Gilman, working on a Ghana
project, said. "But I began to
feel I'd had enough of second
hand knowledge which had
been picked over for my con
sumption. Now was the time
to learn directly from people
struggling in life."
Gilman found the slow, un
derdeveloped society of Ghana
a challenge. But in it he found
a need to be fulfilled in him
self as well as in the society.
"Americans of my genera
tion have inherited a healthy
and abundant country," he
wrote. "But this good fortune
implies the responsibility of
some constructive use re
sponsibilities to the people
yearning for an education.
"We tend to become so in
volved with our fraternities,
our jobs, our competition for
an education, and our court
ship system, that we forget
to ask: to what end? After
asking myself these questions,
I concluded that I hadn't found
all the answers in school.
"And so I came to Ghana
joint projects and $200 for a
single house project There is
also an entry fee of $15 for
joint projects and $25 for sin
gle projects to defray the ex
penses of organizing, publi
cizing, co-ordinating, and
judging the displays.
All organized living units in
good standing with Student
Affairs are eligible to com
pete. The following dormitory
groups will be considered:
Selleck Quadrangle, Women's
Residence Halls, Pound Hall,
Cather Hall, Fedde Hall, Burr
West, Burr East, and the Kel
logg Center.
Trophies will be given to the
three winners in each divi
sion. If less than ten houses
compete with single displays,
they will be judged as one
division. If there are more
than ten single entries but less
than four in either the men's
or the women's division, the
single entries will be divided
into two divisions on the basis
of size acccording to house
rolls as recorded a tthe Divi
sion of Student Affairs Office.
Intentions to build displays
and bonafide joint pairings
must be submitted by 5:00
p.m. Tuesday, October 1 at

not because I feel sorry that
others are not like me, and
not out of sloppy, superior
pity but because they asked
and I am able to help."
Volunteers such as Gilman,
with the ability to see long
range purposes behind short
term Peace Corps projects,
are needed if the Peace Corps
is to become a significant,
permanent form for world im
provement, Pearson said.
"Peace Corps service is not
glamorous," he said in a CPS
interview. "We've never said
it was. It's hard, and tiring,
and sometimes discouraging.
"And so the question before
ns is: now that the newspa
pers, in interviewing return
ing Volunteers, have made it
clear that boredom and
apathy go hand-in-hand with
excitement and progress in
the Corps, will young Ameri
cans still be willing to take up
the burden?"
The answer, Peace Corps
officials br'ieve, can be found
in the Ar erican student com
munity. "The Corps has no
