I 38 Train ,lf Outer'
Corps Trainees Prepare
To Assist Rural Bolivia
'Chicago Schools
40 White But
No Big Problem?
By Evelyn Rust
Skinning rabbits, ki 1 1 i n g
chickens, shearing sheep and
rehabilitating an abandoned
poultry house for living quar
ters are involved in the "sit
uational" training of the 38
Peace Corps trainees at t h e
Nebraska Center.
The selection of individuals
for overseas service is the
primary purpose of the train
ing program, according to Dr.
Max E. Hansen, Director of
the Bolivia Peace Corps Proj
ect. "How the individual will
represent the United States,
whether or not he can live in
the host country and what is
best for the individual are the
three elements in selection,"
Dr. Hansen said. Training for
the Bolivia Project began
June 20 and will continue
through September 5.
At the request of the Bolivi
an government these trainees
are being prepared to assist
the rural people of Bolivia in
the development of 4-S (4-H)
clubs, animal husbandry, ag
ricultural extension and the
dairy industry.
The 13 women and 25 men
including t w o married cou
ples who are in training have
been selected from a pool of
several thousand candidates
on file in the Washington
Peace Corps headquarters.
All Peace Corps projects are
begun at the request of the
host country, and trainees
are selected as nearly as pos
sible to fit the specifications
outlined by that country.
"We do not expect to make
experts out of these trainees
in a short period of time. We
must rely on what they al
ready know and give them op
portunity to examine them
selves their concepts, prej
udices and biases, Hansen
said. The esprit de corps is
fantastic, and every trainee
is totally immersed in the
program, he continued.
A major responsibility of
the staff is assessment and
selection through interviews,
various tests and continual ob
servation. Trainees are
judged on their persistence,
initiative, reactions, ability to
adjust, resourcefulness and
personal responsibility.
The trainee's day begins at
5:45 a.m. with an hour of
physical training. His day
ends at 8:30 p.m. after two
hours of language study. At
the end of 11 weeks some 630
hours will have been spent in
overall preparation.
Trainees must learn to
speak Spanish fluently. Lan
guage classes of seven or
eight students provide oppor
tunity for active participation
by each trainee w h i c h is a
goal of the training program.
Trainees are given 250 hours
of language study.
Technical studies and field
experiences in the areas of
home economics, dairy and
agricultural extension will
require 160 hours.
"We cannot produce Boliv
ia in Nebraska, but we can
provide a whole series of ex
periences which we hope will
be related to what the
trainees will be doing in Bo
livia," Hansen explained.
Situations in Bolivia will
requre volunteers to ride a
burro or walk 15 or 20 miles
a day alongside Bolivian co
workers. For this reason 80

hours are spent in strenuous
physical education and recre
ation. Trainees must be in top
physical condition and are re
quired to pass through med
ical examinations.
The study of Bolivia, Amer
ica, world affairs and com
munism are part of the pro
gram. Trainees are also edu
cated on how to care for
their own health and live

program includes 152 volun
teers working in the areas of

ment, agriculture and univer
sity education.

tion of the Peace Corps
volunteers in Bolivia. Heifer
Project is a private non-profit
voluntary agency which
works with Bolivian and
American government agen
cies. The current Bolivia project
was undertaken by the Uni
versity at the request of the
Peace Corps. The staff is
chosen from University per
sonnel witn the exception of a
few specialized areas, Cur
ricula is developed from
Peace Corps material, work
ing in close contact with
Richard Hopkins, Peace
Corps Project training officer.
The Bolivia Project is the
third Peace Corps project on
the University campus.
The University signed a
$137,963 training contract with
the Peace Corp last week.
The training will perpare 50
volunteers for work in home
economics and agricultural
education in Colombia.
The training will begin in
August.

Dr. Ben Willis, general su
perintendent of Chicago pub
lic schools, a visitor at the
University last Tuesday, said
only ,40 percent of his sys
tem's enrollment is now ac
counted for by white pupils.
"But," he said, "I would
not list integration as the ma
jor problem of education to
day. The real goal is still to
provide better instruction for
all pupils."
Willis addressed the School
Administrator's Round Table
luncheon at the Student Un
ion, one of three special sum
mer session events sponsored
by the University's depart
ment of school administration
and arranged by Dr. Dale K.
Hayes, chairman.
"You can go into any strata
of society," Willis said, "and
find the power of education
will make a great difference.
We must provide a greater
educational opportunity than
in the past."
One of the real signs of
progress in education, he said,
is recognition "that nearly
100 percent of all the children I
of all the people can be taught
and that they can be taught
more effectively."
In Chicago, Willis said,
more than 1,000 iifter-hours
classes are conducted several
times each week to give ad
ditional help to substantial
groups of students.
Paying teachers for an ex
tra hour to serve after-hours
classes, he said, may very
well prove much cheaper than
requiring the students to do
a year's work a second
time . . . "and better, too,"
he added.
"I am still a champion of
the neighborhood school," Dr.
Willis said, "and I think more
and more people are thinking
about its value. After all, the
transportation of pupils is not
a major function of education
but teaching is."

country, for example, have foreign stu
dents enrolled: the total is approximately
75,000. Your university here is one with a
substantial enrollment of foreign stu
dents from many lands . . .
"There are only a few leading ideas I
would like to emphasize and reinforce be
fore I conclude.
"One is that our times have made pos
sible this new educational component of
our foreign policy; Indeed, they have
made it imperative!
"It has become possible because for the
first time in history the Western World
now has both the compassion and the ca
pacity to assist less privileged nations,
through education, along the road of so
cial and economic progress.
"It has become imperative because for
the first time in history survival is no
longer a comfortable, philosophical issue.
It has become an operational one.
"So what happens in the minds of
men is vital to us all. Men have shaped
the future in varied ways. A man by the
name of Lincoln, a century ago, saw the
gathering storm over slavery and was
ready to pour the balm of his great un
derstanding, sympathy, and charity in
to the wounds of a bitter civil war. A
half-century later a man fired a bullet
into an Austrian Archduke in a town in
the Balkans, the first shot of World War
I; and another man, Wilson by name,
was pouring into the mainstream of the
American democracy the ideas of 'The
New Freedom'. These were ideas for
domestic development that influenced
the later accomplishments of other
men, like Senator George W. Norris,
who also left a marked impact on our
national life.
"The crucial importance of what
goes on in the minds of men for good
i or ill is clear beyond question. The op-
portunities to reach men's minds to
I make information and understanding
available to them are unprecedented
I today. The effectiveness of exchanges
1 and related activities in doing this job
is well demonstrated
"We therefore move, ahead in the
work of international education in the
confident belief that education can be
decisive over time. It can be the ulti
mate determinant of whether foreign
policy is informed by knowledge and
understanding, or inflamed by prejudice
and passion, by dictatorial or demago
gic leaders.
"Education can, in fact, be the ulti
mate deterrent for our ultimate security
truly lies in the minds of men," Battle
said.
"Happily, we are committed to the
further exploration of this 'inner sapce'
through exchanges.
"We are committed through Acts of
Congress; and we are committed through
the voluntary participation of the many
thousands of organizations and individ
uals who play some part in the total effort
we make through exchanges. As these op
portunities expand in an ever more in
terdependent world we will need to
reach new levels of citizen participation.
"In our national commitment to this
course I believe we have made over the
last two decades a national 'Declaration
of Interdependence' a statement of faith
in the slow processes of education to
serve the ends of mutual understanding.
The programs of education to serve the
ends of mutual understanding. The pro
grams of exchange we conduct have al
ready become, in Secretary Rusk's word
'one of the most powerful, athough,
quiet, elements in our foreign policy.'
"These are some of the ways in which
I think education and foreign policy re
late and interact. This is what I think our
programs are really all about, and what
the commitment the University of Ne
braska and hundreds of other American
colleges and universities have made is all
about. The Bureau I have the honor to
head plays a part in weaving or fusing the
public and private sectors more cloesly
together in helping to create and sus
tain a kind of common enterprise in
which we all have a part and in which,
I believe, we can all take pride.

Mitford, Jessica, THE

DEATH, and Ruth Mulvery
Haroer, THE HIGH COST
OF DYING. Although both
authors sometimes resort to
sensationalism, they provide
the reader with a great deal
of information about the high
cost of funerals and about the
funeral industry. These books
have been vehemently at
tacked and defended since
they were published. The au
thors point out that member
ship in a memorial society
can reduce the cost of a fun

include lists of such societies.
