Peace Corps Offering KU Counseling Service
Well, now that I know about the Peace Corps, what do I do?
This and other more specific questions are often heard by the KU Peace Corps committee counseling service.
Counselors will be available for conferences to all students and faculty beginning next week.
"The counselors are now reading all literature provided by the Peace Corps," Marc Plitt, Nanuet, New York, sophomore and head of the counseling service, said. "They will also speak with returned Peace Corps volunteers at KU for first hand knowledge.
"They will be able to answer most questions or will be able to get it from the Washington, D.C., office," he said.
Counselors have the latest information on present Peace Corps projects and information on how to prepare for the Peace Corps. "They will present their program to the committee's office staff to prove they know the basis of the Peace Corps," Plitt said.
The Lawrence Post Office sends lists of all who have taken the Peace Corps exam. Counselors find out who first interested volunteers in the Peace Corps.
All KU brochures list the committee's office location. Those interested find names of counselors there and set up appointments. During the year one of the counselors is always
at the information center in the Union.
"Of course, we try to interest those we counsel to fill out the questionnaire, which is also an application, and to take the exam." Plitt said.
The question most often asked in the conferences is: "What are my chances of getting into the Peace Corps?" Having talked to volunteers, the counselors can answer to some extent, Plitt said.
They also ask what they will do once they are in the Peace Corps. "Many people think of a guy hacking through the jungle," Plitt said. "But I've learned from contact with volunteers that this is not true."
Counselors are Bill Burnam, Wichita sophomore; Carol Paul, Colby sophomore; Linda Coleman, Holton senior; and Marc Plitt.

Tomlinson says he will be the next president because he is an ex-Republican and Rogers is an ex-Democrat. The House of Representatives, which will have to decide the outcome, will choose the two candidates from the Theocratic Party, he said.
Tomlinson will display his "Rod of Iron" at the forum. The "Rod" is a symbol of his ability to end all the wars of the world. The rod is an 80-inch staff which Tomlinson carries with him on his campaign trail.
The candidates' campaign slogan is "Mighty Man of God for U.S. President." His platform makes provisions for abolishing taxes and having a 10 per cent title for Church and nation; ending the use of tobacco, intoxicants, narcotics, and gambling; and the union of church and state.
Tomlinson believes he will be among the first five in contention for the presidency. In an earlier speech Tomlinson said he would win the
