KU Generally for Peace Corps Idea
KU students generally support the Peace Corps, but they are split in their opinions as to why University students in particular are apathetic toward the organization.
Beverly Browne, Kansas City, Mo., junior, feels that KU students are apathetic because "they don't want to give up the luxuries of the United States for the squalid conditions of a less fortunate country."
JAMES DUKELOW, Prairie Village graduate student, is "in favor of the Peace Corps," but will not go into it because of the "vague relationship between the Peace Corps and the military service. I don't want to do both," he said.
Jean Hardy, Norman, Okla., senior, said that KU students are unable to see themselves as Peace Corpsmen because "they are soft and don't want to be tied down for any length of time."
Harold Corwin, Kansas City, Mo.
freshman, said "I don't feel that I know enough about the Peace Corps to even comment."
OTHERS PLEADED LACK of knowledge concerning the subject. Patrick Quigley, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said "Nobody knows what it is." He said he is not interested in joining because "it doesn't take care of my military service."
Barry Molineux, Sabetha freshman, also blamed Peace Corps apathy on the lack of information available concerning the movement.
Suzanne Bird, Topeka senior, thinks that the apathy toward the Peace Corps has to do with "Kansas' isolatism tendencies." She thinks that "the intellectual climates on either of the coasts would be more conducive to an active interest in world affairs."
Ursula Lipowsky, German instructor from Germany, said that "one should try everything one can." And she does not know why KU students aren't interested in it.
JUDY KUNKLER, Kansas City sophomore, said, "I would be interested in the Peace Corps if I weren't interested in doing something else with my life. Most college students come to a university with a definite idea as to what they want out of life, and it's too late to change after they get here."
Terry Murphy, Lawrence junior, said that the Peace Corps "in theory is a good idea, but because it's a
Franklin D. Murphy, former KU chancellor and now chancellor of UCLA, said recently that the United States must offer other countries aid in education as well as financial aid.
F. D. Murphy Speaks At Oregon University
Dr. Murphy made the statement in the keynote address at Charter Day at the University of Oregon. His speech was reported by the Oregon Daily Emerald.
The United States is failing in its job to aid others in the field, he said, because many U.S. Congressmen still believe dollars to advance education is "boondoggle."
This lack of awareness hurts our national security, he added.
Dr. Murphy said the world's people understand that the success of the American Revolution turned an underdeveloped continent into the present United States.
"They seek from us the kind of tools to permit them to become mature, dignified members of God's community," he said.
Katanga Urged To Rejoin Congo
EVANSTON, III—(UPI)—Mennen Williams, assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, has called on Katanga leader Moise Tshombe to begin negotiations to join Katanga with the rest of the Congo.
cram course it does not give students enough background to prepare them for their job overseas."
"We hope Tshombe and his people will quickly rejoin the Congo and not determinedly insist on bringing down on themselves the wrath of their brother Congolese," said Williams.
Judi Scroggin, Kansas City, Mo. junior, feels that KU students are apathetic toward the Corps because "KU students can't think beyond the next exam or the immediate future."
RUTH JAMES, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said that KU students lack interest in the Peace Corps movement because they are "more interested in marriage than a career after college, and because they do not realize the seriousness of the world situation—it doesn't hit close enough to home to impress them."
