The Men's Glee Club will tour
urope this summer, giving con-
rts in 18 cities during their
ve and one;-half week tour, the
ub's conductor, Prof. Philip Duey
iid yesterday.
The club will also participate in
ie International Male Chorus
ompetition at the eisteddfod, a
!elsh singing contest, in Llan-
D11en, Wales. Four years ago,
hile on their last trip to Europe,
ie club won the competition.
The itinerary includes: Italy,
reece, Yugoslavia, A u s t r i a,
zechoslovakia, Poland, West Ger-
.any, Luxembourg, France, Eng-
land and Scotland. It will leave by
plane June 7 and return July 15.
The club will perform their usual
type of program emphasizing
American music, Prof. Duey said.
"I have often heard Amercian
groups sing all-European programs
while in Europe, Prof. Duey com-
mented.."This is ridiculous. Euro--
peans want to hear American mu-
sic when they hear American
groups. When European groups
come here we expect them to per-
form their music, not ours."
The trip is being paid for out of
profits from glee club concerts and
records Prof. Duey added. "We are
not using any funds budgeted to us
by the University for the trip."
The eisteddfod is a number of
singing contests in various cate-
gories. There are approximately 20
entrants in the Male Chorus group,
Yale University's Glee Club being
the only other American entrant.
Each group must sing Palestri-
na's "Pueri Herbaeorum" and
"Dana-Dana," a Hungarian folk
song. In addition, the group must
sing a choral work written by a
composer of its own country. The
glee club's choice is "Whitman"
from Paul Creston's "Celestial Vi-
sions."

Peace Corps To Seek New Members
By MICHAEL SATTINGER
What makes teaching effective?
Prof. Wilbert J. McKeachie,
chairman of the psychology de-
partment, said recently in a lec-
ture on learning and teaching
methods that the difficulty in an-
swering this question is in compil-
ing usable data from which to
draw conclusions..
He began work as a graduate
student to find such data. In ex-
periments since then, he has in-
vestigated the three basic types of
teaching leadership.
One is authoritarian leadership.
The instructor manages all class
discussion himself and grades the
students continually on their
knowledge.
Debate System
Another is the democratic style,
in which the class is run'on a dis-
cussion basis.
The third is the "laissez-faire"
method of teaching in which the
students work mostly on their own.
Prof. McKeachie has concluded
that the particular teaching pro-
cedure used by an instructor de-
pends for its effectiveness in part
on the personalities of both the
teacher and the student.
During the past several years,
his research has been directed to-
ward investigating these relation-
ships between teachers and stu-
dents, using French, mathematics
and psychology classes 'to get
more applicable data.

This experiment included 31 in-
structors and 1000 students.
"I don't think we have found
any final answers," Prof. Mc-
Keachie said.
Expectations
"A teaching method which might
work well in one college would not
work in another, simply because
of student habits and, motives.
"One must vary teaching tech-
niques to fit the goals of the class."
he continued. Discussion methods
may be better for developing crit-
ical thinking. However, discussion
is not an effective way of getting
across a great deal of information.
"A good lecturer is probably a
good information carrier. The dis-
advantage of books and teaching
machines is that they are usually
written for a mass audience.
The lecturer can also use, feed-
back from the class. If he sees
sleeping students or blank stares,
he can change his presentation
accordingly.
"Most students will not like any-
thing you do that's differeit," he
concluded.
Prof. McKeachie spoke in con-
nection with the Medical School
lecture series on learning and
teaching.

Shavin, a special assistant of the
corps's Public Information Divi-
sion, said recently.
Three recruiters arrived yes-
terday and set up a public infor-
mation booth on the corps in the
lower lobby of the Union. The
group and five others who will
arrive Sunday will address frater-
nities, sororities and dormitory
units.I
Shorter Test
The new placement test - one
hour long instead of the current
four-hour examination-will be
given in Rm. 3C of the Union. The
exact testing schedule is available
at the Peace Corps booth.
Shavin said the new examina-
tion is experimental. Besides the
shortened length of the examina-
tion, the results will be returned
to the applicant within two weeks
instead of the current several
month delay.
The Corps will expand to 9000
volunteers by the end of the year,
he noted. Five thousand are cur-
rently on duty or in training and
the corps is looking for 4000 more
to train this year.
Corps to Train
"The applicant does not have
to bega specialist. The corps is
looking for liberal arts graduates.
He does not even have to know aj
foreign language; the corps will
train him," Shavin declared.
However, the volume of applica-
tions will not force a lowering of
standards, he asserted. "If the
standards are lowered, the corps
will destroy its usefulness," Shav-
in noted.
Every country that currently
has volunteers is asking for two
to three times their number and
some- countries that have asked
for them have not received anyone,
he noted.
Two Types
The countries ask for, essen-
tially two types of volunteers,
Shavin said. The first is teaching
in virtually every field from the
standard academic subjects ;and
the arts to basic technical skills
such as plumbing installation.
The second field is rural com-
munity development. Corpsmen
work in rural areas helping the
local personnel construct and de-

Training Centers
Fifty college campuses have
served as training centers for the
corps. The University has sent two
groups of volunteers to Thailand
and Michigan State University has
trained one for Nigeria.
