TIRE MICI[GAN DAILY Peace Corps Resolutions (EDITOR'S NOTE: Folowing are ecerpts from the resolutions passed at the recent Conference on Youth service Abroad in Washington, D.C.) We believe that social, educa- tional and medical needs are com- mon to men and nations and should be met wherever such prob- lems exist. Because of our national com- mitment to principles of individual dignity, because of our great po- tential and actual ability to serve mankind and because a growing number of our people now seem anxious to attempt to improve human condition, it is highly ap- propriate that the United States establish a Peace Corps. The purpose of the Corps shall be to foster mutual understanding and co-operation among all peoples and to accelerate the process of development in certain areas of the world, without involvement in any foreign policy, to help meet the needs for trained personnel in order to further social and eco- nomic self-determination .., and to strive for these goals and ob- jectives by working and living to- gether with other people *** Reverance for Man The ultimate basis of Justifica- tion of the Corps then is the ac- ceptance of a reverence for man and his labor, and of human re- sponsibility to work with those who need and desire service. We beiieve that the accomplish- ment of these purposes and ob- jectives will provide many useful and rewarding by-products for the host country, the individual in- volved and the United States. The corpsmen should approach the people of the host country ,with sympathy, understanding and +objectivity toward their problems in establishing democratic institu- tions, realizing those institutions can take a variety of forms dif- ferent from our own and yet demo- cratic. Needs Background He should have a thorough background in the features of the area in which he will serve, as well as a general knowledge of world affairs. A corpsman should have a thorough knowledge of our own country and be capable of express- ing his beliefs. At the same time he must be honest in acknowledg- Ing the problems we are. facing In our government. - Not Easily Measured These qualities cannot always be easily measured. The importance of . . . this maturity makes an individualized selection process necessary. Tests of allegiance and reverence have little significance here. A corpsman will not be a political agent and should not be required to make any affirmation of loyalty beyond passport regula- tions. Indeed such political tests would suggest that the corps has some greater political mission that has been conceived in its pur- pose. Affidavits and disclaimers of political belief similarly seem to be but negative standards con- tributing little infinding essential qualities. We recommend . . . a positive statement be formulated relating the purposes of the program, the human values it seeks to serve and the standards of conduct expected of its members . Certainly, the loyalty, the demo- cratic commitment of the indivi- dual must be beyond question, but the real measure of these qualities can only be found in the total process of . . . selection. In particular, we feel the string- est political standards of the Foreign Service security check would be totally unacceptable given the purposes of the program, and further, that an FBI or other security checks on the applicants' political activities, association or beliefs does not get at the central questions. However, if in some, individual case a check is indi- cated. it should take place only after the individual is otherwise found acceptable for training and service and should not be done as a matter of course. If an indivi- dual is disqualified on the basis of some "political" consideration there should be a procedure where- by he can have a full and fair opportunity to appeal. The resolution in the area of control and structure is based on the following assumtions: The pur- pose of the Corps would be to as- sist the peoples of all nations to better themselves economically and socially. This purpose is humanitarian, and is in accord with the revolutionary ideals of freedom, equality and the dignity of man.. 1) We firmly support the five operational principles set forth by President John F. Kennedy, that the Corps work: a) Through pri- vate agencies carrying on inter- national assistance programs, b) Through assistance programs of international agencies, c) Through overseas programs of colleges and universities, d) Through assistance programs of the United States government, and e) Through new programs of the Corps itself 2) At first, the Corps should be a government agency under the direct control of the President, divorced from the State Depart- ment ... or other executive agency When functioning as an in- dividual government agency, the Corps should set minimum stan- dards of selection and exercise veto power over all candidates. 3) In the short run ... United Nations control may not be feas- ible but it is desired 'that the Corps become a truly international organization. Ultimately it should be placed under the United Na- tions and/or other extra-national agencies. Development of other organizations similar to the Corps in other countries should be en- couraged with a view toward... an international Corps. Should Address UN 4) President Kennedy should address the UN, to propose an ef- fective, international Peace Corps to the world. Also resolved that the commis- sion governing the Corps policies in a host country be composed of both Americans and nationals of that country, that the American Corps work continuously with their counterparts in that country and that American Corps mem- bers, in their physical living ar- rangements and in their patterns of social relationships not be set apart from their host co-workers and community. Further be it resolved that Peace Corps participants should be re- cruited from all who offer skills and potential ability .. . Motiva- tion must stem from the ideals of the Corps, irrespective of political viewpoints. * * * Requests for Corps projects should be honored from any na- tion. Attention should be given to establishing a domestic peace corps. Develop Rapidly The Corps should develop as rapidly as possible, with the con- sideration of need, request from host country, financial feasability, qualified candidates and evalua- tion of similar programs. The training program should consist of three stages: A period of time spent by qualified corps- men in areas of the United States and its territories which have cultural and economic character- istics different from those to which they have been accoustomed. A study period in the United States and the host country, with emphasis on the following: the language of the host country, the background of the host country, unacquired skills needed in a par- ticular project, human relations and communication skills, Ameri- can heritage and general physical fitness ... ' A practical, final, preparatory period, conducted under experienc- ed direction in the host country before actual work is undertaken. Host Countries The people of the host countries, especially those who are students in the United States, should be utilized as teachers and advisors on a paid basis. During the entire training per- iod and stay in host countries, it must be emphasized that Corps participants are engaged in a pro- cess of learning from their hosts as well as contributing to mutual international understanding and cooperation. An applicant's race, sex, religion or area of residence in the United States should play no part in the selection for membership in the Corps; however, the practical con- siderations of placement will re- quire consideration of these fac- tors. Interviews, tests, records of past experience and acvhievements of the applicants should be carefully examined, especially in the fol- lowing areas: motivation, matur- ity, cultural empathy, clarity and aptitude in languages communica- tions, physical fitness, personality traits, areas of proficiency, back- ground and foundation in history of America and the host country. * * * Be it resolved that the Corps urge the American colleges and universities to broaden and perfect their activities to increase the knowledge that would contribute to Corps membership and citizen- ship in the years of the future. That students considering ser- vice abroad should pursue regular courses of study. The role of the University in Corps preparation is to provide supplementary educa- tion. By . . . Encouraging study pro- grams for youth service abroad in existing and tentative groups. Also, those universities with sufficient resources should establish ex- change programs that would offer cross-cultural experience. Officials Cite 'U' Technician In Vote Case, Ronald P. Pivnick, a laboratory technician at the University, was questioned Monday concerning voting twice in the Ann Arbor spring election on April 3. He is charged with voting both in person and by means of an absentee ballot. Acting, Municipal Court Judge Chandler A. Rogers set the exam- ination of the felony charge for April 17. Pivnick filled out an absentee ballot from Washington, D.C., and he also personally cast another ballot in Ann Arbor on election day on April 3. He admitted cast- ing both ballots but claims he forgot that he had sent in the U' Grants To Boost Research The Ford Foundation yesterday announced two grants to the so- cial sciences departments of the University totalling $350,000. The larger seven year grant of $500,000 will permit the University to double the number of students specializing in demography and related social sciences from 10-12 to 20-25 per year. The grant will be used for fellowships and research assistant- ships, permitting the addition of a faculty member and teaching assistant. It will also expand activities in the Program for Research in Population and Human Ecology and provide partial support for an exchange of 10 American and 10 Russian behavioral scientists. Under the second grant of $30,- 000, Director James G. Miller of the University Mental Health Re- search Institute wil head a ten- man delegation to Russia, from May 3 to 29. Anthony Gets Senate Post Women's Senate yesterday elect- ed officers for next year. Judy Anthony, '62, was elected vice-chairman of the Senateeand Barbara Libs, '63, was elected secretary. The Senate discussed problems of pre-registration which may arise if the University changes its calendaring system in the fall of 1962: 1) the principle of assess- ing a fine if a student registers late without an acceptable ex- cuse. 2) The choice between reg- istering alphabetically or by class- es. 3) The choice between the student preferencing thetime for his classes or his professors. The Senate voted in favor of a. proposal to fine late registrators, to register alphabetically (with exceptions for seniors needing spe- cial attention for their course schedules), and that students should be allowed to preference their professors.

The editors of the University's Law Review found their mental incompetence case against the law school faculty thrown out of Washtenaw County Probate Court yesterday-to be settled on the baseball diamond. Probate Judge John W. Conlon ordered their petition "expunged froni the record without further delay." The editors were remand ed to the "special jurisdiction of the law school." Counsel for the defense, Profs. Joseph R. Julin and Richard V. Wellman of the Law School, held that "the petitioners, as mere students, have committed a grave attack upon the entire judiciary The defense described their op- position as a "three-headed be- ing,"' and said that the student petition was "obviously a product of confused minds." Defense also suggested that since the editors use the prestige of that position to obtain high paying jobs that they should as- sign a modest portion of their first five year's salary to support the Law Review.
