KU Peace Corps Needs 7 More on Committee
Cecily Johns, Wichita senior and chairman of the KU Peace Corps said only two positions have been filled on the Peace Corps committee and that seven more students were needed.
She said she hopes to have the positions filled by next week.
"OUR DUTY will be to collect enough information on the Peace Corps that interested students won't have to write letters themselves looking for material," she said. "We hope to have pamphlets, newsletters and booklets on display that will answer all questions. We will also have the application blanks. Students then can apply directly through the KU Peace Corps committee instead of through the Post Office."
Miss Johns said she did not know of any KU students who had applied, but that the KU committee was not yet operational, so applications were not presented to her.
"I HOPE MANY students will apply," she said. "I feel there are many students that have not only the desire, but the qualifications of becoming goodwill ambassadors from the U. S. There is no reason
KU should not have as many applicants as Eastern universities."
Miss John said one reason no KU student had expressed interest was lack of information and publicity on the campus level.
"NO ONE HERE knows much about the Corps," she said. "We want to let everyone know everything about it. We are going to publicize it, answer questions about it and encourage it all we can. It's a marvelous idea for American youth—it gives us a chance to do something for our country instead of merely asking what we can do. It's a program of action."
Max Eberhart, Great Bend junior,
and student body president, also
expressed hope for many KU applicants.
"KU students are as qualified as Harvard student," he said. "We've got to publicize this program and let people know about the important role it could play in the world situation."

The goals of the research are to increase the capability of predicting the storms, of operating aircraft more safely in their vicinity and eventually, of controlling the storms.
Time lapse stereoscopic photography of squall lines in the Lawrence area and aerial photography of storms, will be two devices with which Mr. Bates will try to solve the dynamics of the Great Plains thunderstorm.
