Two Peace Corps
volunteers who served in Asia
and Africa and a native of
Turkey are on campus this
week to answer student in
quires and recruit Corps
members. .
Pamphlets illustrating and
promoting the Corps will be
available at a Union booth.
Films and slides will be
shown in the evenings, ac
cording to the volunteers.
The three Corpsmen have
hai varied experiences.
-KATHLEEN KAYE
Schneider, 24, graduated from
Central Michigan University
and was part of a secondary
education program in
Ethiopia from 1965 to 1967.
She taught geography and
her classroom duties, all on
the high school level, were
carried out in the Amharic
language.

English from Blackburn
College in Carlinvllle. 111. He

With an eye to possible
application in Nebraska,
University of Nebraska
School of Music professor
Arnold Schatz visited Japan
this summer for a first-hand
study of a successful program
developed there to teach very
young children to play the
violin.
Schatz, an associate
professor of violin, spent
nearly a month observing the
teaching activities of Japan's
Talent Education Institute,
founded about 15 years ago
by Shinichi Suzuki.
THE TALENT Education
Institute has its home offices
in Matsumoto and teaching
studios in most of Japan's
major cities. It provides
about 10 per cent of all violin
training in Japan and began
attracting the interest of
string teachers in the United
States about eight years ago.
The Institute has become
noted for its success with
very young students from
three years up and for
preparing these young
students for performing as
soloists, in small groups or
Freshman engineers

34 colleges compete;

Freshmen in engineering
mechanics received six na
tional awards for creative
displays in a contest
sponsored by the American
Society for Engineering
Education (ASEE) at the
University of California at
Los Angeles.
It marks the first year that
freshmen college students
have been able to compete
in the graphic display contest
conducted by the Division of
Engineering Graphics o f
ASEE. Freshmen in 34 col
leges and universities across
the nation entered the compe
tition. UNIVERSITY ENTRIES
were selected from 50 pro
jects prepared by students
involved in a new teaching
program which is designed to
simulate industrial ex
perience in the classroom,
according to Prof. E. J.
Marmo, chairman of the
department o f engineering
mechanics.
The outstanding or first
place award in the competi
tion went to a University
team composed of Dwayne
Arff, Ted Flowerday, Robert
Keasling, Richard Kober, and
Tom McDivitt. -

the Middle East.
Aydin Comelek, 25, . a
native of Adana, Turkey, was
an administrative assistant In
the Peace Corps office in
Ankara during 1965. From
1966 to 1968 he served as a
liaison between Corps
workers and government of
ficials in western Turkey.
Last summer he taught
Turkish to new volunteers at
Austin, Texas.
"The goal of the Peace
Corps is to work Itself out
of a job," Lee declared. The
Charles
Lee
Corps provides skilled man
power, labor and training to
countries that request it, lie
explained.
Duties of overseas
volunteers vary greatly, Miss
Schneider said. Many workers
in mass concerts.
'This school operates on
the premise that all children
have musical talent and it
only needs to be developed.
The appraoch to teaching is
'by rote so that a student's
energy Is centered on correct
technique and producing a
musical sound rather than
playing from written music.
"Imitation of the teacher is
an important element, of
course. The students are
given 8n opportunity to listen
to good music, are persuaded
that the violin is not a dif
ficult instrument to play and
then are taught proper habits
and the proper sound by
teachers and by records."
Schatz noted.
He said that the cooperation
of parents is also an im
portant part of the program.
Mothers of the young students
are encouraged to learn to
play the violin, practice with
the student and fill the role
of teacher between lessons.
OTHER motivations are
also used to supplement
parental encouragement.
Each student either plays for
received excellent or second
place ratings include:
Paul Hanus, Lloyd Schnei
der, and Larry Wassel.
Donald Holmes, Robert
Keasling. John Menaber, Jim
Musilek, David Nunnally, and
Gary Tepley.
Individual awards went to
David Krueger and John
Rosenow.
The displays representing
Nebraska were selected for
competition by the
department of engineering
mechanics from those turned
in as first and second
semester freshman term
projects for a class I n
creative design and graphic
displays.
THE COURSE taught by
Leendert Kersten and
Richard T. DeLorm is a new
concept in t e a c hi n g , ac
cording to Marmo.
The students select projects
usually based on a particular
interest or problem noted by
them and organize into teams
or individually work out the
idea using drawings, cost
estimates and build a model
or display of the project.
"The purpose is to simulate
industry as close as possible
selecting a corporation name
and organizing the teams into
chief and associate
engineers," Marmo con
tinued. Industrial experts in Lin
coln and around Nebraska are
occasionally consulted and
were very helpful fa giving
the students aid In the pro
blem areas, be (aid.
Kersten said that rather
than suppressing the creative
ideas of the freshman
students, they are stimulated
to work them out and through
these projects can also get
an idea of what engineering
is really like.

care, engineering and com
munity development.
Qualifications for the Peace
Corps are flexible, the main
requirement being interest,
Lee said. The Modern
Language Aptitude Test will
be offered Friday to test
language abilities of potential
workers. A bachelor's degree
is generally required for
service.
BEFORE GOING overseas,
all volunteers are trained in
language of the country they
will visit, technical skills they
will employ and cultural
aspects of the host country,
MisS Schneider explained.
Volunteers have some
Suzuki or one of his staff or
sends a tape recording of his
music to the Matsumoto office
for evaluation. A p r e -determined
degree of
achievement qualifies a
student to move ahead to a
more advanced sequence and
this advancement is noted
with a graduate ceremony.
The young students also take
part in periodic concerts,
playing with others who have
mastered the same material.
"I am particularly in
terested to find out if this
technique which has been so
successful within the
Japanese cultural en
vironment will seem
desireable or ba adaptable in
the United States," Schatz
said.
Through the University of
Nebraska Extension
Division's music education
program Prof. Schatz is set
ting up several groups of
students here in Lincoln. The
classes will have from six to
eight students, ranging in ape
from five to 10. and he will
work with them using the
Suzuki methods.
"I have been contacted by
a number of inter ested
parents who have heard about
what I had hoped to do
through conversations."
Schatz said.
Instruction will start within
a few weeks, as soon as the
students can be fitted with
small instruments.

There are two salaries in
the Peace Corps, Miss
Schneider continued. One is
a country living allowance, to
be used overseas. The other
is a readjustment allowance,
given to the worker In the
United States.
Lee pointed out that, while
Kathleen
Schneider
the service In the Corps does
not make men draft exempt,
it generally does mean a
deferment.
To indicate the size of the
Peace Corps program, Lee
said that more than 25,000
volunteers have returned
from service overseas.

In mid-November, 35 top
business executives from 15
states and Canada will meet
at the University of Nebraska
in an unique conference.

these men.
who will shortly go to Latin
America in an executive
capacity, will be exposed to
an intensive four-day course
In current Latin American
affairs.
This seminar is one of
several being planned and
sponsored by the Institute,
said Dr. Esquenazi.
"The Institute's purpose,"
he continued, "is to prepare
students for work in Interna
.tional situations. This is ac
complished by the study of
language and culture of the
countries involved."
He said that though it has
been possible to minor In
Latin American studies In the
part, only since the formation
of the Institute in September
of 1967 has a malor been pos
sible. The Institute Involves
courses from fourteen
University departments and
four colleges. Courses range
from Business Administration
to Music.
Though the Institute now
concentrates on Latin
America, he continued, plans
are being made to extend its
programs until it is a "truly
international Institute."
He said that the Institute
plans programs and cultural
events throughout the year.
The staff also prepares a
monthly television program
on Latin America for the
Nebraska Educational
Television Network.
A yearly volume on Latin
American themes is produced
by the Institute after being
written by leading scholars
throughout the world.
EVERY YEAR there is an
exchange program of both
students and faculty with El
Colegio de Mexico in Mexico
City. A similar program is
being established with the
University of Oriente i n
Venezuela, he continued. j
The Institute also aids
students who are working to
