There is a shortage of volunteers in the campus. CUPISTA from the campus and the nation, Luanne Alcazar, campus director, and Lawrence senior, student.
She said she had no figures or the national shortage.
Alcaraz said about 50 applications for both program; usually were received during a year's time, but that last year the number was down to about 35. This is a reason for the decrease, she said.
"About 25 people have volunteered to help beginning of September," and Alcara "but we need many more volunteers to make up for the low numbers."
She said there were many opportunities for personal gain and good experience in the Peace Corps.
I "REALLY wish more people know what programs," said Acearas, who has spent a total of three years in Corps program in Uruba.
"We don't try to instill our culture in the people," Alaceraz said, "but try to improve what happens with them what they can do themselves."
Alcazar said there was a lot of misunderstanding in foreign relations and the United States. The Peace Corps program helps, she said, because the relationships between the countries people are on a one-to-one basis.
THERE are many minority programs in the Peace Corps and VISTA. Alcaraz said.
"We need black students, but we can't get them to respond," she said.
Service in one of the programs is an alternative to military service. The Peace Corps program included two years of overseas duty and Vital assisted one year of duty unintended United States and its territories.
With unemployment being a
problem to many college students, Alizaraz said, many students were volunteering for the Peace Corps and VISTA. She also helped with two of the two programs was helpful when seeking employment.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE of a law degree program for most colleges were offered by Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Mo.
The volunteer must spend one semester at Lincoln University and two years in Micronesia with the volunteer. If he is the volunteer's program would then be conducted by Lincoln University and credit hours toward a master's degree or the fellowship would be awarded to the volunteer.
She said there was no expense she the volunteer had paid. She attended university until he received his degree. Alcaraz said there were similar programs at the university.
PEACE CORPS programs have been set up in many foreign countries Alaeraz said, except in Europe. The strongest programs have been established in Africa, and South America, she said.
A letter Alcaraz recently received from the Kansas City Peace Corps office said positions offered included 10 community development advisors, three mechanics, one architect, two home maintenance therapists, 10 sport coaches, one business adviser, two product-management advisers, two accounting and financing advisers, one economic adviser and one cultural-management adviser.
CALARAZ, WHOSE major field is home economics, said she taught sanitation, health care, and child care while in Uruguay.
or have a college degree usually have had a better chance of being accepted, she said. Those who have passed the test can be accepted, Alceraz said, although there are more problems involved. High school graduates are accepted more frequently and of special training, she said.
The only qualification required is that the volunteer be 18 years old. Akaraus said. People who like to travel are welcome to knowledge of a foreign language
The training programs have included instruction on the language, culture and history of African art as some of the special skills that might be needed in his field work, Alcaraz said. She said the VISTA training program lasted six weeks. The Corps program lasted 12 weeks.
A VOLUNTEER DRIVE has been patented for the campus Nov. 6-10, 2014. A VISTA FHA have been included in the IGA Travel Fair schedule for campus Nov. 6-10, 2014.
Alcaraz said that applications for the Peace Corps and VISTA team would be available B-3A of the Student Activities Center in the Wesley Building. Office hours are 9:30-11:30 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Originally planning to concentrate on theory, Hoffman found that women wanted to work.
Hoffman spends 30 minutes to one hour with visual aids and explanations. The rest of the time is spent in the shop.
The course is primarily demonstration but students do work with Easer on some of the dishes. So far, the students have prepared bread, pork chicken and peanuts, beef and broccoli, and fried dumplings.
According to Easer, students have been successful when preparing the meals for their families.
He noted that statistics show that women are more careful with their purchases, and they will admit they don't know much and will try to get a second job.

Kansas City Megalopolis Predicted by Year 2000

The research will not determine whether or not construction can be made, according to John C. Roper, a geologist in the State Geological Survey.
The Lawrence area will be included in the survey, which is designed to aid builders and or public and government use.
Originating July 1, 1973, the project will last 24 months, concentrating on flood planes, and concentration of water and water distribution and use,

"Lawrence is growing directly west toward the Clinton Reservoir," said Watson.
This data will be turned into illustrated map form, written for and readable by layman. This push to divorce the project from intricate scientific language and a major objective of the project.

The State and U.S. Geological Surveys are financing this project in order to plan for development, and the cities concerned are also looking into the area with their individual growth.
