Q: What experience could the Peace Corps provide to a college-aged volunteer? A: First of all, you get a language. It may be French or Spanish or Arabic or Russian or Chinese, but, once you've learned one lan- guage you know you can pick up another. I still use my Spanish after 30 years. The volunteer has worked and operated in another cultural environment which increas- ingly, whether in the private or public sector, interests employers because we live in a one- world economy, today. The volunteer is not just traveling around between college and his first job, but has been, in essence, a project manager.... The Peace Corps challenges the volun- teers. The Peace Corps is not Club Med.... We look for flexibility in our volunteers, because not everything is predictable. The volunteer has to look for ways to achieve solutions and be goal-oriented. Besides the fact it is a big adventure, it is a character and skills-building two years. Q: How many volunteers has the Univer- sity provided to the Peace Corps? A: It's the second in the country, behind the University of California. The University of Michigan has been consistently the No. 2 institution of higher education. Right now, (the University has) 82 volun- teers overseas. In the course of the 30 years, it has sent almost 1,200 U-M graduates, and they're in everything: education, health, busi- ness and agriculture. Q: How would you characterize the gen- eral concern of Generation "X"? A: I'm probably going against the grain, but I think the so-called "X" generation has taken a bad rap. We get more "good" applica- tions than we can handle these days. One of the reasons, that I want to try to grow, and it's a modest growth, is that we have to turn people down, some people who would make great volunteers.... We're not seeing any dropoff in this form of service; we're seeing an increased interest. The sense that we went from the "me" decade to the "X" generation, I consider to be a bunch of baloney. I think the marketers and the magazines or advertising need to identify something. Q: What do you think of President Clinton's National Service Act? A: I'm very supportive of it. I think the fact that another young president is urging people to serve in some way is very good.... To the extent that somebody says, "Well, gee, why should I go overseas when there is so much that needs to be done at home." Well, fine. The fact is we say to our volunteers who have gone overseas, "You're a Peace Corps volunteer for two years, but you're a return volunteer for the rest of your life." We en- courage our workers to continue doing what they know after they return. Q: How does the Peace Corps differ from other U.S. aid offered to developing countries? A: The major point of difference is that the Peace Corps' money goes into the volunteer. ... Most other foreign aid programs are direct- dollar grant type programs, loan guarantee programs or short-term exploits. The Peace Corps involves living in a com- munity. That community stay might be in a mud hut in the middle of the jungle or a flat in the middle of Warsaw, Poland.... The volunteer lives in the community, becomes a member of the community and works at the community level. Q: How does the Peace Corps approach the empowerment of women? A: We believe the empowerment of women ... is allowing women to be participants in society. The Peace Corps has two initiatives that run through all five sectors. Those initia- tives are youth in development and women in development. In other words, as we do this programming we shouldn't forget that the majority of the population is under the age of 25 and also how key women are. For example, in rural Africa women make up more than 75 percent of the people who are economic producers. The Peace Corps is very involved in "girls' education." This is support for girls being able to get formal education as long as boys can. What happens in many places is that the girls drop out after one or two years, and they end up not being real participants in the com- munity or society. Q: How does the Peace Corps further U.S. relations with other countries? A: I think in some ways we're one of te best faces that America puts on in the rest oT the world. We're part of overall American foreign policy, on the other hand we are an autonomous agency. We are not run by the State Department. The reason for that is we do grassroots work at the local level. And so it isn't just if we are particu- larly mad at this country on one day that all of a sudden somebody can say, "OK, we're closing Peace Corps; now, we're opening it." We think that we help relationships betwe!P other countries and the United States because two of our three goals are that other countries have alittle better understanding of what America is. It isn't just CNN and MTV. ... We have 140,000 "mini-ambassadors" to these countries. Even though we may have only 35 Peace Corps volunteers in a particular country, it may be the major U.S. presence in that coun- try, and so people get to know them.... The present president of Niger was educated t Peace Corps volunteers. Students interested in the Peace Corps should contact campus coordinator Joseph Dorsey at 747-2182.

U.S. citizenship, dominated Christopher's meeting with Rabin, forc- ing them to truncate other topics. Rabin broke off talks with the Pal- estine Liberation Organization over Palestinian self-rule after the kidnap- ping. But he said Israel will continue its negotiations with Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Talking to reporters after the meet- ing, Christopher endorsed Israel's claim that the PLO and its chairman, Yasser Arafat, "bear a heavy respon- sibility" for obtaining Waxman's re- lease,'even though he is being held by Hamas, a rival for the allegiance of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. But Christopher also noted that only Rabin can decide if the crime will be allowed to wreck the peace process. Christopher accused Hamas of waging "a desperate rear guard ac- tion" to stop Palestinian self-govern- ment, which would bolster the PLO's claim to represent the Palestinian population. "Hamas is recognizing the progress that's being made, re - ognizing the transformation of tW landscape, and is taking these actions out of desperation," he said. U - U... --,.? GET CUT FROM THE PROS.

FLU Continued from page 2. receive the vaccination and the other 15 percent will experience lessened ver- sions of the following symptoms re- lated to the flu: fever, chills, a cough, muscle and joint or back soreness, and achiness in the arms and legs. The immunization may cause a slight reaction or side-effects in certain patients. According to the fact sheet, people who are currently ill, pregnant, allergic to eggs or chicken, or sensitive to certain chemicals should not go in for the shots. Johnson said to check with a physician if there is any doubt. Students can recieve the shot at any time in the next month. "If students receive the shot now, they will be fully protected from flu symptoms by the time the prime season rolls around," Johnson said. "And be- ing protected is important because res- piratory flu, once contracted, can lead to bronchitis and other relatedillnesses." In extreme cases, the flu can cause death, according to the HVVN fact sheet. Students and faculty who would like to recieve the immunization may ameL IRAQ Continued from page 2. In Washingtona seniorofficial said that the administration is seeking U.N. Security Council approval of a resolu- tion to bar threatening Iraqi troop move- ments in the southern part of the coun- try. The administration will station air and possibly ground forces in the re- gion indefinitely to enforce the prohibi- tion, the official said. The United States is prepared to use force unilaterally to prevent or punish any Iraqi moves that Wash- ington considers hostile to its neigh- bors or a threat to international peace, go to Health Services during the end of October. Shots there cost $8. "When I was at Health Services for something else, I also got the flu shot," said LSA first-year student Molly Bronitsky. "It was quick and simple and inexpensive." 0 Johnson said HVVN offers shots to the public at more than 80 clinics covering eight counties. She said HVVN also goes on site to private businesses and establishments and may be contracted by the Michigan Athletic Department. Shots at an HVVN site cost $10 and require the recipients to be over age 18. HVVN plans to be in Aiu Arbor at various locations Octob 25,27, and 28 and November 2,4, and 5 to administer vaccinations. For those students who wish to brave the elements and risk getting the flu this time around, Johnson warns that they may pay a heavy price. "There is really nothing you can do once you get the flu," she said. "Once you get it, you are down for the count." Anyone interested in flu immO nizations may call Health Service's Allergy/Immunization office at 764- 8034 or HVVN at 1-800-335-8FLU. the official added. And at the United Nations, U.S. ambassador Madeleine K. Albright excoriated the French defense minis- ter for accusing the United States of exaggerating the Iraqi threat for d mestic political reasons, even as s sought the approval of France and other Security Council members for the Iraq resolution. The most dramatic news of the day was the disclosure by officials in Washington and in Saudi Arabia trav- eling with Defense Secretary Will- iam J. Perry that the withdrawal of the Al Nida division of Iraq's elite R publican Guard had come to a halt. auto %-uy1 State Zip I Phon' I ) Home Institution,-. C.wW Sow..
