PEACE CORPS:
Can Place 5,000 Volunteers
By JUDITH OPPENHEIM
"If qualified members of the peace corps could fill every position
in the world where they are needed, we could easily place 5,000 corps-
men by July 1962," Prof. Maurice Albertson of Colorado State Uni-
versity told the Americans Committed to World Responsibility last
night.
Prof. Albertson, author of a report to Congress on the peace corps,
discussed the results of a questionnaire on need and possibilities for
the program which he sent to groups and individuals in the United
States and several foreign countries.
He emphasized the fact that the ideas he expressed were mere-
ly recommendations based on the results of the questionnaire and

The University chapter of Alpha Tau Omega faces pc

against the fraternity's Stanford unit.
ATO's national office revoked ,the charter of the Califc

A high council of the fraternity unanimously decided ti
the Stanford students had violated the organization's co

Legislature
Receives Bill
On Education
WASHINGTON (R)-- President
John F. Kennedy's bill to provide
loans and scholarships for the
nation's colleges went to Congress
yesterday.
It was introduced immediately
in the House by Rep. Edith Green
(D-Ore), and in the Senate by
Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala).
Proposal Explained
The President's proposals were
in two parts: 1) 212,500 four-year
college scholarships. 2) Long-term,
low interest loans to construct
classrooms and other buildings..
The total cost of the five-year
program, including loans, is esti-
mated at well over $3 billion.
This help to colleges is separate,
from a proposal sent to Congress
earlier to provide about $2.3 bil-
lion in outright grants to the
states over a three-year period for
public elementary and secondary
schools.
Described as Vital
In sending his proposals to Con-
gress, President Kennedy described
them as vital in the years ahead
when he said there will be great
increases in the number of stu-
dents seeking to get college de-
grees.
"If our youth are to have an
opportunity to develop their intel-
lectual capacities to the fullest,
steps must be taken immediately
to increase the, available facilities
for higher education and to re-
lieve both the students and the
universities from impossible finan-
cial burdens. This program is de-
signed to do this."
Hill is chairman of the Senate
public welfare committee which
will conduct hearings on the meas-
ure. Mrs. Green is a member of
the House Education Committee.
She said the House committee
will begin three days of hearings
on March 15. Secretary of Welfare'
Abraham Ribicoff will be the first
witness, Mrs. Green said.
Meanwhile, the President stood'
firm on his insistence that federal
aid to parochial and private ele-
mentary and secondary schools
would be unconstitutional, al-
though Sen. John W. McCormack
(D-Mass), House majority leader,1
opposes him on this issue.
not necessarily the procedure the
peace corps will follow.
Demand Enormous
Although the demand expressed
for the peace corps is enormous,
President John F. Kennedy has ex-
pressed a desire to place 500 to
1,000 corpsmnen by next Decem-
ber. He has emphasized the im-
portance of conducting the pro-
gram on a reduced scale until we
can be more certain about its re-
sults.
Prof. Albertson said the primary
aim of the peace corps should be
an attempt to assist the accelera-
tion of economic and social devel-
opment in underdeveloped areas
of the world by means of "person-
al contact at the operational lev-
el,"
More than half the peace corps
work will involve teaching Eng-
lish as a second language. Three
quarters will fall under the gen-
eral heading of formal teaching
which will include, in adlition to
English, agriculture, vocational
and technical skills, sciences and
adult education.
Mainly Men
Most peace corps positions will
be occupied by men, Prof. Albert-
son said. However, there will be
several opportunities for women
and a few for married couples,
providing both the husband and
wife are qualified to work in the
same general area.
Most corpsmen will spend two
years in the countries to which
they will be assigned. They under-
go a two to three month training,
period in the United States and
additional training for three to six
monthsin the area where they
will work.
Corpsmen will receive no salar-
ies except subsistence wages and
a small allowance. They will be
expected to live under the same
conditions as the people with
whom they work.
Qualifications Listed
To qualify for the peace corps,
applicants must have completed,
high school and had additional
training in areas which will be of
use to the corps. Prof. Albertson
said it is vital for them to have
"both a humanistic desire to help
others less fortunate than they
and a pioneering spirit of adven-
ture."
Corpsmen will receive instruc-
tion before being sent abroad un-
der the government plan headed
by R. Sargent Shriver, President
Kennedy's brother-in-law.'

AT MSU:
Ask Voice
In Choilce,
By WILFRED ROY
Students and faculty of Michi-
gan State University are currently
circulating petitions asking for a
voice in the selection of the next
dean of students.
The student petition already has
approximately 2000 signatures,,
Dan Reidel, MSU student. govern-
ment president, said last night.
The students have formed a
three point program which in-
cludes a request that the presi-
dent consult faculty members and
representatives of the student body
before making his choice.
The petition also asks that the
next dean "be a person fully in
sympathy with the educational
functions of the University,"
(which means a faculty member,
Reidel said), and that a committee
of students and faculty be formed
to study the organization and ac-,
tivities of the dean's office and to
make recommendations for its
future operation.
The faculty petition closely par-
allels this, but specifically asks
that the appointment be a faculty
member. There is no existing rule
to this effect now, and the retiring
dean is not and has never been
a faculty member.
The student government also has
a motion supporting the petitions
and seeking the same ends, but it
has been tabled pending MSU
President John Hannah's "return
this week from a trip to Asia.
Government Council ruling on
discrimination in student or-
gaizations, Vice-President for
Student Affairs James A. Lew-
is said last night.
Discrimination Banned
SGC adopted a motion last May
banning racial and religious dis-
crimination in student organiza-
tions. The council also required all
fraternities and sororities to sub-
mit statements detailing their
membership selections practices.
"Each chapter has to file a
statement about its membership
practices. If it can't say that it;
chooses members without regard
to race or religion, that group is in
jeopardy," Lewis said.
Interfraternity President Jon
Trost, '61, agreed with Lewis. "It
would look as if AtO here could
not be in accord with our ruling
and still follow its national's poli-
cies."
No Prediction
Richard Clark, '62BusAd, ATO
president here, hesitated to pre-
dict the outcome of the Stanford
action for his chapter. "It is at
this time impossible to tell just
repercussions the Stanford affair
will have on this chapter.
"The complete details of this
situation and also the membership
committee's interpretation of the
affair are not clearly defined -at
this time.
"These and all other pertinent.
points will be discussed with the
University and the committee."
Clark said his chapter had not
yet filed its statement which would
be used by the SGC Committee on
Membership in Student Organiza-
tions to evaluate the situation
here.
'No Alternative,
The five man ATO council said
the Stanford group declared it
would continue to violate the con-
stitutional clause on membership
restrictions. "Under these circum-
stances, the chapter leaves the
fraternity no alternative but to
place its charter in escrow," the
council stated.
Religious bias, the council said,
did not influence its decision. It
pointed out that ATO has alumni
of Hebrew origin and clergymen
of various denominations.
The Stanford chapter decided
in December to continue on cam-
pus as a strictly local group if it
were ousted by the national,
Michael Kavanaugh, ATO presi-
dent there said last night.

much the same as mine," he said.
"It's just in a different package.
Only the outward wrapping has
been changed.
"They touch on topical things,
just as I do. We all do a sort of
monologue-and that's as old as
vaudeville. It dates back to Chau-

the turn of the century.)"

The Hoosier entertainer said
that the present is a heyday for

Shriner then pointed out the
"two dollar kitchen chair," which
was then occupied by guitarist
George Alexander, a baritone bal-
ladeer who accompanies him on
his tours.
"That chair is the least ex-
pensive, most effective piece of
scenery. It's just a place to sit
back and talk. More than that,
everyone gets a laugh out of it."
Meanwhile the electrical crews

Decision Expected
Kavanaugh had been awaiting
a decision from the council this
month and was expecting a revo-
cation of the charter.
"There is no feeling of distaste-
fulness or unhappiness on our
part. Our ideas about selecting
members dQ not agree with the
national's and we do not want to
remain in an organization that has
those membership criteria," he
said.
The action of the council was
based on a hearing with the Stan-
ford chapter on Jan. 28 when
chapter officers admitted they
had pledged and initiated non-
Christians. the council said.
