The Peace Corps is at
tempting to learn more about
its effective volunteers and
how to find. them.
"It's frustrating to know
that a given project has been
a smashing success and yet
not know why, or how, it can
be duplicated elsewhere," Dr.
Joseph G. Colmen, head of
Peace Corps Research, said
in an interview with CPS.
"Yet how can we tell in
advance who will be an in
spired volunteer and how a
project can be made success
ful?" Colmen and his staff have
launched a four-part research
program to provide ansvers
to these questions, and are
building it around extensive
interviews and "de-briefings"
with returning volunteers.
The first area of research,
according to Colmen, is an at
tempt to identify and measure
the success of overseas vol
unteers. "To a very real extent, we
are not sure what makes suc
cess in an overseas program,:
Dr. Gilman said. "For exam
ple, a specific building project
may be destroyed by floods
yet the volunteers involved
may have left behind an ex
ample of determination more
New ATO Annex
On Sorority Row
As of Monday, Alpha Tau
Omega has the only male res
idence along the east side of
16th and Vine to R St.
At the Monday meeting of
the Board of Regents, the use
of a building at 464 No. 16th
St. as an ATO annex was ap
proved. The building, formerly the
Sigma Delta Tau sorority
house, is located between two
sororities, Pi Beta Phi and
Chi Omega.
Eighteen pledges and eight
actives live in the building, in
addition to Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Stroble, who are serving as
supervisors.
According to Director of
Services William C. Harper,
prior to World War II Regents
policy was that fraternity and
sorority houses could not be
adjacent.

Colmen's staff is using psy
chological techniques to iden
tify, where possible, changes
in the mental attitudes of peo
ple involved in Peate Corps
projects.
A second aera of research
deals with changes and adjust
ments in the personalities of
the Peace' Corps volunteers
themselves as they serve
overseas.
"In this connection, we've
asked returning volunteers if
they experienced 'low points'
during their tours of duty,"
he said. About 95 per cent ad
mitted to having one or more
serious problems which they
had to cope with as part of
their project. And, we find,
almost all of them succeeded.
"We found that perhaps the
most valuable part of the
Peace Corps experience for
most of these volunteers was
the ability to be on their own,
responsible for discharging a
high level of responsibility on
their own initiative."
A third area of research, he
said, centers around the ef
fect of a Peace Corps project
in a given country.
"We want to study how the
school system in a given coun
try, for example, changes
when a third to a half of its
Since then, a number of
factors, including different at
titudes towards student hous
ing and increased need of
housing space have brought
about changes in housing pol
icy. Last year, for the first time,
Selleck Quadrangle housed
women residents. This year,
Twin Towers and Burr Hall
are housing both men and
women students.
Dance Group
To Organize
Fall Session
Plans are being completed
for the 1963 fall session of the
Junior University Dance Or
ganization (JUDO) for faculty
and staff members of the Uni
versity. JUDO is a non-profit organ
ization sponsored by the Uni
versity's Faculty Dance Club
and is intended as an oppor
tunity for University-connected
teenagers to learn and
practice ballroom dancing; and
to meet other University-connected
teenagers from all dif
ferent schools.
Last spring 54 youngsters
from nine different junior high
schools participated on an ex
perimental basis. This year
JUDO is enlarging and any
University-connected teen in
either junior or senior high
school is eligible.
There will be a series of les
sons for at least two 'different
age groups: junior high and
senior high teens. Each group
will meet on alternate Friday
evenings in the Student Union.
Don Andersen, of a local
dancing school, will be the
instructor.
Mrs. A. Stuart Hall is gener
al chairman for JUDO and
Mrs. Elmer Powell is the Fac
ulty Dance Club represent
tive. . .

Library Head Boosts
Book Appropriations
The majority of the $93,000
increase in the University li
brary budget will be directed
toward the book fund, accord
ing to Frank Lundy, library
director.
He noted that this year's
book appropriation has been
increased $65,000 over recent
years. This gives the Univer
sity libraries a total of $250,
000 to spend for books and
periodicals.
Lundy commented that the
new appropriation "is better
than we've been doing, but
not enough for a University
which covers as many sub
jects ' as" this one." He" ex
plained that the new fields of
knowledge opened since
World War II have provided
an unlimited number of top
ics for literature. He added
that books and periodicals
are not published in large edi
tions" and are very expensive.
The library currently sub
scribes to many periodicals
that cost as much as $50 per
year.
The University library is
housed in ten buildings on
three campuses, contains
about 750,000 books and sub
scribes. 4o 9)00 periodicals.
Books are added at the rate
of 25,000 to 30,000 per year.

Students Housed
In Lincoln Hotel
For the second, year: Uni
versity housing has extended
into the Capital Hotel (Capi
tal Hall) to provide rooms for
students the dormitory can
not hold.
The University leases floors
7-10 in the hotel.
Robert Grimit, Housing As
sistant, said that the hotel
contains 132 University stu
dents including counselors. He
added that the facilities are
run and operated as a dormi
tory with meals provided at
Selleck Quadrangle.
Some of the rooms are
"singles," and all have a pri
vate bath.
Grimit estimated that about
40 of the students in the ho
tel are graduate students and
that 5 are freshmen.
