Parson Prof. Exclaims Peace Corp Success Brings College Scholars To the Eronf The Peace Corps has gone far toward improving the United States' image abroad, particulbelt of arly in the globe-circli52 developing countries where 15,000 Volunteers now serve. An opinion profile drawn recently by Louis Harris pollsters from conversations with 1,200 college seniors across the nation showed that 51 per cent felt the Peace Corps helped to cast a favorable American image overseas; 86 per cent said they believed the Peace Corps was doing an Excellent or Good job. ng The poll was undertaken to determine student attitudes toward the Peace Corps and other public affairs issues, such as the Vietnam war, civil rights and the War on Poverty. The Peace Corps was judged the most successful American effort abroad in terms of not only promoting a better image but of improving the well-beiof foreign peoples. . Once upon a time there was no such thing as a returned Peace Corps Volunteer. Not until 1963 did the first crop of Volunteers begin returning to the U.S. after comtours. In pleting their two-ye- ar Peace the the interim, Corps' taskforce administration eagerly sought reports from the field and teers have completed service, but almost as soon as they reappeared on the American scene, there were a few cases of reverse culture overly-publiciz- ' ed reshock. Some satisin getting ported difficulty fying jobs and some complained that no one understood what they had experienced overseas. From this developed the well-circulat- ed, but unfounded myth ng It is clear, the report says, that if the Peace Coirs is to widen and intensify its appeal it must convince many seniors that two years in the Peace Corps is relevant to their future career. What these students want, the is Harris survey concludes, to be convinced that they would be sought after when they returned, that they would not lose seniority in our highly competitive society as the result of an idealistic hiatus, however personally rewarding.

Those, however, who had jobs and money to hand out graduate schools, Federal agencies, inter- national business firms, school superintendents, and organizations felt differently. As returned Volunteers became available, the Peace Corps established its own Career Information Service to channel to returnees the growing number of requests from all quarters for former Volunteers. . non-pro- fit You you can be eccentric as a professor and get aray with it.

THOLE LADLE INNER CHEW Most veterans attending school under the new GIBiU have received their first checks, but if you're one who did not and failed to receive your check due this week, it's possible you failed to do your homework, the VA told Veterans students today. Mr. Elmer- J. Smith, manager of the Salt Lake VA Regional Office, urged those students who fail to receive checks due this week to: 1. Make sure that the notice of enrollment, which must be filled out and mailed by the school, has been sent to the VA by the school. 2. Make sure the certificates of attendance, which the veteran must fill out and send to the VA, has been mailed. 3. If there is any question about payment, contact the Salt Lake VA office by phoning. Mr. Smith pointed out that it was not necessary for the veteran student attending college to send in his certificate of attendance for the first month since VA accepted the colleges notice of enrollment as basis for paying the first check. However, Mr. Smith emphasized, all subsequent checks will be withheld until the students own certificate of attendance is be- came Interested in machinery.

Among the first 7,000 Volunteers to return to the U.S., just over half either are continuing , their college studies, mostly for graduate degrees, or teaching. Another 12 per cent are working with several Federal agencies here and abroad. Volunteers-turned-teache- cant be Wundst pond dime der worsted ladle odle uddy whut lift inner achoo. (Gazunite!)

The snug engine compartment makes it difficult to change the spark plugs. Like the Sunbeam Tiger, a hole has to be cut in the wheel well to change them. Dr. DeVille would like a Cobra, but a professor's salary just isn't enough to provide one and support a family with three chil- dren.

Dr. DeVille has worn his mustache ever since World War 11 when he was a radio operator in a bomber group. Many soldiers just out of high school wore them to cover up how young they really . were. Dr. DeVille said his most embarrassing experience while in college was when he took the daughter of the president of the college to dinner, and while eating, worked his plate over the edge of the table. He and the girl broke up shortly after that, not because of the turkey, but because Dr. DeVille preferred a motorcycle trip across Mexico to taking her to a party.
