Vol. 77, No. 75 The Daily Nebraskan Monday, March 16, 1964 ISSUE MAY DIE- Martin, Hall Will Present forum On Problems Of Student Drinking Poll Shows More Want Law Change J. Winston Martin, as sociate dean of student Af fairs, and Dr. William Hall from the department of edu cational psychology and mea surements will present a for um on student drinking to day at 3:30 p.m. in the Stu dent Union small auditorium. This is the first seminar of a series planned by Student Council resulting from the student polls on drinking tak en last semester. These polls showed that 'approximately 60 per cent of those polled de sired a change in the drink ing laws, while the other 40 per cent desired either no ac tion or stricter laws. Tom Kort, public issues chairman for Student Coun cil, said the student body so far hasn't shown much inter est in the problem. He added that if more interest isn't shown, especially in these seminars, the issue would be dropped. Since the poll indicated a rather strong dissatisfaction of the status quo, the Student Council plans to further its research on the discussion through seminars of this type. The Council is analyzing the drinking situation at other universities and observing how they handle the problem. At today's discussion Mar tin will speak on the admin istrative problems involved with drinking. Hall will dis cuss the psychology of stu dent drinking. The discussion is intended merely to present the facts and background on student drinking, and give a m o r e complete understanding of the problem. Students will also be given a chance to question the speaker. Student council is planning other discussions in the future with city and state officials, state legislators, and outside observers.

The group will talk to living units and organizations, distribute literature from the Peace Corps booth in the Student Union and give the Peace Corps placement test at 2:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. daily. Members of the recruiting team are Charles Caldwell, director of public information for the Peace Corps; War ren Schmidt, Peace Corps representative to the National 4-H foundation; Miss Gertrude Schwartz, a member of the Peace Corps management staff; and three newly returned volunteers Burt Swanson, just back from Cyprus and Jim and Ruthina Rusk, who worked in Sierra Leone under the Peace Corps program for married couples. Mrs. Rusk is a graduate of the University Teachers College. Advance preparations for Peace Corps Week were conducted by James Gibson, member of the Peace Corps staff in Washington, D.C. Gibson said that the team hopes to have around 150 University students register and take the placement exams. Questionaires and applications for the exams will be available at the information booth. Anyone wishing to take the test should fill out the application and present it at the test center in the Union at the time he wishes to take the test. Applicants must be over 18 and citizens of the United States, said Gibson. Married couples, are eligible to apply only if both intend to be Corps members and they have no children under 18. ' The Peace Corps volunteer serves two years, explained Gibson, including a three month training program. While in training he receives free room and board and $2 per day for expenses. "Overseas they receive a salary equivalent to their local counterpart," Gibson said. "When they return to the United States they get a readjustment allowance of $75 per month $1800 in all." "That's not a lot of money, but how many college graduates save $900 a year no matter where they work? he asked. The Corps presently has 7,500 volunteers serving in 45 countries (the workers in Cyprus were removed when the recent civil war broke out.) Gibson said that they hope to have 10,500 by the end of 1964 and 14,000 by the end of the following year. About one half of the volunteers are teaching in or ganized school systems throughout the world. Gibson em phasized that a large percentage of these teachers are liberal arts graduates who never trained to be teachers. Of the remainder, about one fourth are engaged in community help projects and the others work in agricul tural extension, health and sanitation or other public works projects. "There could be a spot for everyone who is interested and desires to work with others and help them help them selves to a better way of life," said Gibson. "This is a post-graduate experience second to none: living in a foreign culture, not as a tourist, military or gov ernment employee; working and living in the remotest areas in the world; living as the people do; speaking their language; changing the image of the rich American."
