scorer, top rebounder, and
one of the leading field goal
and free throw shooters In the
Conference, according to sta

and 21 points the last effort

a 24.7 mark. Among Wesley's
74 are 33, the high in Con
ference games so far, against

anything different now. "1 had
the moves before, but never
used them in a game. Now
I'm using them."

Physical Education Majors Needed
Physical education majors,
the Peace Corps wants you!
Where else would one get
an opportunity to train and
coach young Olympic pros
pects, or even test out your
own philosophies and ideas
about physical education and
coaching at the age of 21 or
22.
These are some of the jobs
that are falling on the should
ers of young Peace Corps
members who have had train
ing in physical education.
These volunteers for the
two-year tour of duty that ad
vertises "plenty of work, and
not much pay" find them
selves with much greater re
sponsibility than many c o 1
lege graduates.
Peace Corps Week will be
held on the University cam
pus from March 14-20.
At this time national repre
sentatives from PC headquar
ters in Washington will be on
the campus to administer ad
mission tests, talk with inter
ested student, and will also
be available to speak to any
group.
The demand for physical ed
ucation majors has recently
increased as the call has gone
out for flexible, versatile ap
plicants that have a good deal
of physical stamina.
However, there is never any
attempt to glamourize service
in the Peace Corps, and the
chances to coach people for
the Olympics does not come
to everyone, and even when
it does there are always plen
ty of other duties which must
be taken care of simultane
ously.
Joel Meier, Director of In-
tra-murals, commented that
from his experience with the
PC, one of the advantages of
being able to work with chil
dren of a country in various
recreational and athletic en
deavors is that it is one of
the best ways to be accepted
into the community life.
"When children are enjoy
ing themselves, they'll tell
their parents and naturally
the parents will want to know
more. It is in this way that
many Volunteers are accept
ed into a community," he ob
served. Many different types of peo
ple are taken into the Peace
Corps every year, and majors
in physical education certain
ly have no monopoly, but two
years service in an organiza
tion such as the Corps would
certainly utilize their talents
for a worthwhile cause.
