Corps May Name U'
As Thailand Center
Program To Train 50 Volunteers
To Teach English, Fight Malaria

JOHNSON:
Affirms

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Univer-
sity is expected to be named as
a center for training Peace Corps
candidates for duty in Thailand,
Peace Corps officials in Washing-
ton said yesterday.
Some 50 persons would be
trained under the program,.offici-
als reported.
In addition to a "common core,,
training program, it is anticipated
that the candidates will receive
specialized instruction in one of
Peace Corps.
Tells Kamen
Of Rejection
MIAMI (P)-The Peace Corps
informed Charles Kamen yester-
day that it had rejected his ap-
plication to join the organization.
Kamen attracted national at-
tention when his candidacy for the
corps drew fiery opposition from
the Miami1 Rotary Club. The club
said Kamen applauded in the
wrong places as an uninvited spec-
tator during a club showing of a
film, "Operation Abolition."
The film showed the House Un-
American Activities Committee
being heckled as it conducted
hearings on the Pacific coast. Ka-
men was ejected bodily from the
showing. He said later, "I felt
my actions may have shown a
little immaturity and I regret
them."
A Peace Corps announcement
said the 21-year-old Miami youth
was one of 25 students who failed
to meet selection standards in a
Philippines teacher training proj-
ect at Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity.
Kamen was not available- for
comment.
He faces the formality of a re-
hearing of an Aug. 24 decision of
the Miami Draft Board to deny
him deferment. He is classified
1-A. the, rehearing was obtained
on grounds that Kamen had not
been given a personal appearance
opportunity to plead his case. He
had asked to be removed from 1-A'
status and deferred in order to
teach in the Philippines as a Peace'
Corps member.
Roy Lee Jones, chairman of the
draft board, said he had no com-
ment on Kamen's rejection by the
Peace Corps. Jones said Kamen
would be continued in class 1-A
"and will wait his turn to be call-
ed into service."
ADC Refuses
Endorsement
Of Evaluations
Assembly Dormitory Council
yesterday defeated a motion to
support the Office of the Dean of
Women in its use of non-academic
evaluations.
The council also defeated an
amendment to this motion that
would have supported the evalua-
tions only if the women living in
University housing were able to
read the reports after they were
written.
The non-academic evaluation is
filled out by housemothers, in
both sororities and dormitories,
and rates the student with regard
to study habits, motivation, atti-
tude and personal adjustment.
The matter of these evaluations
is now before Student Government
Council for consideration.
Sally Jo Sawyer, '62, Assembly
president, indicated that Assem-

bly representatives were still free
to bring opinions to future. coun-
cil meetings and new motions
could still be made.
Wade To Give
Law Lectures
Prof. H. W. R. Wade of Oxford
University will deliver the 1961

two fields: teaching of English as
a foreign language, and malaria
eradication.
Teach Thai
The "common core" program
will consist of the teaching of the
Thai language to the volunteers,
for instruction.
The "common core" program, to
be required of all the Thai volun-
teers, will itself consist of four
separate phases.
The first will be instruction in
the Thai language. Secondly the
volunteers will be made aware of
American culture and institutions
from a more objective viewpoint
so as to be able to explain what
the United States is like to the
native Thai.
Physical Education
Thirdly, all the volunteers will
be subjected to an intensive physi-
cal education program designed to
develop in them the stamina they
will need to stand up to any de-
mands that might be made on
them.
Finally they will be instructed
in personal health and hygiene so
they will know how to avoid illness
or how to care for themselves if
they do become sick.
For three years, the University
has been operating in conjunction
with the International Cooperation
Administration, centers in Thai-
land, Laos and Viet Nam to aid in
the improvement of English lan-
guage instruction in these coun-
tries.
Much of the preparation for the
Peace Corps program is based on
studies made at the Thailand cen-
ter on the difficulties of native
speakers in learning English.
Volunteers will also be trained
in order to assist in instruction
at Chulalongkorn University in
Bangkok, the principal Thai Uni-
versity.
Seasonwein
To Quit SGC
Roger Seasonwein Grad., will
resign from Student Government
Council at its meeting tomorrow
night.
Seasonwein said, "I find it diffi-
cult to leave SGC at this time.
"Devoting part of my time to
employment and part of my time
to study leaves no time for extra-
curricular activities.
"I am confident that the coun-i
cil will continue to face cour-
ageously issues which effect stu-
dents," he said.
Seasonwein's resignation creates
a third interim vacancy to be filled
by appointment. The other two
seats were vacated by Phillip Pow-
er and Mary Wheeler, '64L.
Petitioning closes today for these
positions. All petitions must be
turned in by 1 pm. to Council1

U.S. Stand
On Berlin
NASHVILLE (')-Vice-President
Lyndon B. Johnson said last night
Soviet leaders will "blunder into
an irreparable catastrophe" if
they misjudge the United States'
willingness to defend Berlin.
Johnson said in a speech pre-
pared for the annual Southern
Governors Conference "we are not
paying any blackmail . . . we are
not deserting our obligations to
West Berlin . .."
The Vice - President praised
President John F. Kennedy's
speech earlier in the day before
the United Nations in which Ken-
nedy told the General Assembly
the United States has both the
will and the weapons to resist
Communist aggression.
No Mistake
Johnson said he hopes the Rus-
sians make no mistake about this
point.
"We challenge no one," he said,
"but we never surrender under
threats. The path of reason, of di-
plomacy, of negotiation, of hon-
orable settlement is open. We want
to take it.
"We seek peace but we shun
appeasement because we know it
is surrender on the installment
plan and the signal for ultimate
war. Our. power is a pledge of
peace, not an incitement to con-
flict."
Johnson said the Soviet Union
is trying to destroy the work of
the late Dag Hammarskjold be-
cause the UN secretary-general
made it possible "for the United
Nations to take executive action
to defend world peace."
New Reality
"This certainly is a new reality
in world affairs. It is a develop-
ment which may yet shape the
future and defeat the ambitions
of dictators," the Vice-President
said.'
"Today the United Nations can
place troops in the field, under
its own authority, even when all
the Communist-led nations are op-
posed to such an action. A new
principle has been established and
has been put to work in the Gaza
Strip. in the Middle East and in
the confused anxieties of the Con-
go."
"No one pretends that this new
experiment in collective action has
been conducted without mistakes
and without friction," he said.
Mob in Algiers
Stones Police,
Stops Traf fic
ALGIERS (P)-A mob of about
400 youths held police at bay for
more than three hours in the cen-
ter of Algiers last night, blocking
traffic, stoning police and military
trucks and tearing up sidewalks.
It was a battle of maneuver and
the mood o the participants
varied from jocular to serious.
Several times riot police and
troops charged the demonstrators
and sent them scooting up side
streets. But each time the mob
reformed to taunt the police. Mas-
sive traffic jams built up along;
busy arteries.
The demonstration came at the
end of a day when forbidden black
and white flags of the under-
ground secret army organization
were flown over several Algerian
cities.

Kennedy Issues Call To ]End
Segregation in Restaurants'
ABERDEEN, Md. (P) - President John F. Kennedy issued a
personal plea yesterday for an end to segregation "in restaurants
and other places of public service."
The president's direct call was read to a meeting of 200 leaders
of communities along U. S. 40, the main highway between New
York and Washington, where Negroes have been refused public
accommodations.
"It is most important that there be no discrimination of any
kind based on race, creed or color against any American citizen
or visitor from abroad." the Presi-
sent said.
Appreciates Support
"That is basic to our moral
h o w :rength here at home and the
iiitl kJ I nation's leadership in the world.
I would deeply appreciate your in-
dividual support on this matter."
President Kennedy's telegram
was read by John G. Field, execu-
tive director of the Committee for
Equal Employment Opportunities.
"There are now an increasing
number of diplomatic officials
from Africa, Asia and other parts
of the world stationed in the na-
tion's capital," the President said.
