Ability Test Taken by 25
Peace Corps Week Receives Good Support by Students
The reception of Peace Corps Week at KU has been very good, according to Peace Corps Volunteers who have been on campus this past week.
So far 45 to 50 students have signed up to take the aptitude test which has been administered this past week by Gilbert Hall, Richard and Mary Ann Wanush, returned volunteers, and Jan Kifer, deputy chief of the Peace Corps.
ABOUT 25 students have already taken the test and it will be administered again Saturday morning, both at Room 305 in the Kansas Union and at the Lawrence Post Office.
The questions most frequently asked the corps representatives by the more than 200 students who have stopped by the information Booth in the Union have concerned draft status, the necessity of a college degree, required skills, and the possibilities for the future.
South America has been the most asked-about region.
