The Week To Come: A Campus Calendar PROVIDE TRAINING: Colleges Enter Anti-Poverty Battle 4 By LAURA GODOFSKY Collegiate Press Service f . On a rainy afternoon in a lo- cal coffee shop recently a tall, bearded balladier sat comfortably and, constantly pushing up his ever-sliding glasses, spun an al- most endless tale of experience and witty speculation. Ed McCurdyl has been singing in Ann Arbor's only folk mus- sic establishment, the Golden Vanity, for the last two weeks. He has been singing old, bawdy and beautiful ballads for the past 18 years and recorded 20 records.; His most popular ones have been the sometimes-deceiving "Songs of Dalliance." McCurdy has recoraed a total of six "erotic" records, four of them in the Dalliance series, and all of them misinterpreted by those falsely capitivated by the' nnv.4.n.lli.nr n -nn nr n..n - =;, t c '( .

"I wish I could show that folk music is an art form and not just vaudeville. It'sE not that music isn't casual enter- |tainment, but it's a lot more than that.'' He spoke of the importance of a i place where small audiences couldY assemble, like the Vanity. "After | all," he said, "folk singers needi audiences. There are only a few who can stand to sing for each other.", Asked if the audiences were helping to make folk music some-7 thing greater, or if they were mak-j ing it assume any one direction, McCurdy replied, "Folk music has1 no real direction. The people have+ to go in their own directions. The music follows." He cited Dylan and his reputa- tionas the so-called "voice of his generation" as an example, saying that he was no more of a voice and had no more direction than anyone else. McCurdy said that there have been few truly effective voices of{ protest in this country. "A lot of protest singers just get up and tell I you what they don't like about this country and they damn the whole society because it's not any good. "Well sure it's no good. We don't claim to have a perfect so- ciety and we never will, but if you're going to yell about it, you might try to do something about f it, too. There are a- lot of bad things about America, but there are a lot of -good things also, and like it or not, it's your citizenship and the hope of the world may very well lie there." The bells of Burton Tower struck the hour and McCurdy mentioned that he was going to be late for a concert if he didn't stop talking. Enrollment Rises Choke Universities Collegiate Press Service WASHINGTON-Enrollment In the nation's colleges and universi- ties has nearly doubled in the last 15 years and may nearly double again by 1975. A record-breaking 4.8 million students will be in college this fall, according to United States Office of Education estimates. In 1949, some 2.5 million students were enrolled, This fall's. enrollment repre- sents an increase of some 300,000 students over last year's total and is about 600,000 students larger than 1962's. Estimates of 1975 enrollment run above 8.5 million. Almost half of the- record- breaking 2.3 million students who were graduated from high school last spring will be entering col- leges and universities this fall. Unless teacher loads are sub- stantially increased, the huge enrollments will necessitate hir- ing an additional 18,000 college teachers this year, the education office estimates. This would mean a 5 per cent jump over last year's college teaching staff of 352,000.

Need 600 About 600 people are needed to teach for one year periods and serve. as counsellors in the Job Corps' conservation camps. About 20 camps are scheduled to be open- ed this fall. Within a year, there will be about 150 camps for 20,- 000 high school drop-outs and draft rejects. Although trained teachers are preferred, there is no set certifi- cation or experience requirements for Job Corps teachers. Salaries will range upwards from $5000. Universities will have major re- sponsibilities in running the Job Corps' 1000-1500 person education- al and vocational- training cen- ters. These centers will grow to about 20,000, or the same number of boys as the conservation camps. Adaptation for Training The Office of Economic Oppor- tunity is currently contacting uni- versities about staffing and de- veloping curricula for these cen- ters. The first two or three cen- ters should be in operation by the end of the year. Social scientists in particular are expected to contribute their research skills to the-planning and evaluating of community action and other programs. Faculty and administrators will be serving as both consultants and staff members on programs. A number of them have already tak- en leaves to work on the task forc- es setting up the various programs. Federal Aid Large numbers of students re- ceiving federal aid under the an- ti-poverty bill's work-study pro- gram are expected to be hired by community organizations engaged in fighting poverty. . It is expected also that schools and departments of education will play a very large part in develop- ing methods and materials for the anti-poverty bill's other remedial education programs. It is "entirely possible," accord- ing to Milton C. Cummings of the Office of Education, that college students may be hired as instruc- tors in adult literacy programs. Finall'y, up to 5000 volunteers will be chosen in the next 12 months to serve in VISTA. The program's backers hope the vol- unteers' work will create a spirit of "national involvement" and spur others to help in their local anti-poverty programs. 41 .
