9 Say They Would Decline Corps Call
Interviews conducted by the Daily Kansan indicate that some KU students would be unwilling to serve as "ambassadors" to foreign countries as members of President Kennedy's Peace Corps. Other students said they like the idea.
Students were asked "If you had the chance, would you join the Peace Corps? Why?"
"No," replied Marvin Baker, Ft. Lupton, Colo., senior. "I am a graduating senior and have made plans for the future. At an earlier time I would have been extremely interested in the Peace Corps and would have jumped at a chance to get in it. Now that I have set my aims for my career I feel that the corps would just be a delay and would cause me unhappiness."
Donald Baird, Prairie Village sophomore, said, "When I go abroad I want to go as a tourist — not a laborer."
DICK SICLOFF, Belle Plaine freshman replied. "No. I don't think that it's organized well enough to do any good."
Homer Vaughan, Manhasset, N.Y., freshman, replied, "No. I want to stay in this country. I don't want to go to some steaming jungle."
ROBERT SKLAR, Bayonne, N. J. freshman, said, "I personally am interested in helping myself first of all."
Donald R. Anning, Coffeyville senior, said, "No. I've got other things to do."
Jim Meyer, Alton, Ill., freshman,
replied, "No, I wouldn't. That is,
not unless they change it so that it satisfies
the military obligation."
Thomas F. Harrington, Prairie Village junior, answered, "No. However, if the Peace Corps should be a substitute for military obligation, I would consider it."
Robert C. Melton, Marion junior,
replied:
"No. I would probably be sent to a Spanish-speaking country. I don't know Spanish well enough and I don't want to learn any more of it."
THERE WERE, HOWEVER, several students who favored the program.
Judy Harman, Kansas City junior, said that if the standards set by Mr. Schriver and the President were followed closely then she would join the corps immediately.
She added:
"I would have to wait and see if the corps can combine the necessary down-to-earth realism with the idealistic tone of the program. The work of the corps could, if properly carried out, prove to the world that unselfish aid can equal reciprocal friendship. I think that the Peace Corps is the finest idea of the new administration and I am behind it all the way."
JAMES WRIGHT, Kansas City junior, answered, "I think we're pretty narrow in our thinking about foreign peoples and that experience in the corps would broaden our scope and aid in our understanding of them—Yes, I'd go."
