Students Urged To Boost Image Of U.S. Abroad
A University of Kansas Peace Corps official last night urged students to participate in improving the American image abroad.
"THE VOLUNTEERS overseas are doing useful work," he said. "The people in foreign countries eagerly await the arrival of the Corps workers. It is stimulating to know that your generation of young people is serving a need. You, also, can play a part."
Thomas M. Gale, associate professor of history and director of the KU Peace Corps program in Costa Rica, spoke at the Corps orientation meeting in the Kansas Union.
The volunteers will leave the United States Dec. 21 and travel to Puerto Rico for further training. Following an orientation at the University of Costa Rica in San Jose, the Corpsmen will begin their assignments in Costa Rican secondary and higher education.
Prof. Gale explained the volunteer training program for Costa Rica project, which will get underway Oct. 26. The eight-week program will bring 41 college and university graduates to KU for "intensive" training.
John Middleton, Kansas City, Mo,
junior and chairman of the Corps
special events committee, announced
plans for a KU Peace Corps week
Oct. 29-Nov. 2. Tentative plans include
a University convocation, an English style debate, forums and
other special events.
THE CORPS SPEAKERS' bureau announced plans to send speakers to Kansas clubs to speak about the Corps program.
John P. Atkinson, Topeka sophomore and new distribution chairman reported that pamphlets about the Corps program will be placed in the Lawrence High School, court house and library and in Haskell Institute. Reading centers have been established in Marvin and Bailey halls and Watson library, he said.
Other plans include a KU foreign language seminar for prospective Corpsmen and a drive to collect items, such as books and clothing, which volunteers abroad may need.

De Gaulle Rebuffed, Government Is Toppled
PARIS—(UPI)—The French National Assembly revolted against the growing power of President Charles De Gaulle today and toppled Premier George Pompidou's government by a crushing vote. But De Gaulle ignored the crisis and went off to watch army maneuvers.
The angry assembly, haunted by the ghost of Napoleon III, sent the government to humiliating defeat in a censure motion shortly before dawn. The assembly revolt was primarily directed against De Gaulle although the President himself could not be ousted from office by such a vote.
Instead of remaining in Paris to deal with the crisis, De Gaulle took a train to Rheims this morning to observe France's biggest postwar army maneuvers being held in the champagne country of eastern France.
THE BEATEN and exhausted Pompidou was left behind in Paris. He could not even hand in his formal resignation—as required by law after the parliamentary defeat—until De Gaulle returned to Paris, probably iate tonight.
De Gaulle did not even stay up to hear the results of the vote. He was sleeping soundly at the Elysse Palace and was informed only when he awoke that the government had fallen.
The spectacular rebuff to De Gaulle came on a censure motion over the president's plan to bypass parliament and ask the people in a nationwide referendum to approve his plan to have future presidents elected by direct popular vote.
The Assembly vote was 280 in favor of the censure motion--39 more than needed to get it through the 480-member chamber. All parties from Communists to the extreme right joined forces against the deputies of the Gaullist Union for the New Republic (UNR). Three UNR deputies even voted for the censure motion and were promptly expelled from the party ranks.
Pompidou will be asked to stay on in caretaker status until an acceptable compromise candidate can be found to form a new government pending new national elections.
Just before the debate began yesterday, De Gaulle appeared on television to speak on behalf of the forthcoming referendum. He did not once mention the censure motion in parliament but delivered a clear warning that if the national referendum went against him he would resign.
DE GAULLE apparently expected the National Assembly vote would go against him.
Highlight of the debate which dragged on until 3:40 a.m. today was the opening speech by Paul Reynaud, former World War II premier who now is 84.
"Your answers on Oct. 28 will tell me whether I can and should pursue my task in the service of France," he declared.
"He has wanted to be George VI and Churchill," snapped the dapper Reynaud. "He has not accepted the republican concept according to which France exists in its Parliament. He has slid toward personal power . . .
"THE CONSTITUTION has been violated. Parliament has been despolved."
One result of the present crisis may be to crystallize political groupings in this country into two clearly defined blocs.
