Peace Corps Offers Training
KU juniors interested in entering the Peace Corps after graduation, can enroll this summer in a Peace Corps Advanced Training Program and borrow up to $600 to help pay their senior year school expenses.
Repayment of the loans may be deferred until after Peace Corps service has been completed. It is hoped that the loans may compensate for one's missing summer employment and may thus help the third-year college students complete half of a two-phase plan of intensive Peace Corps training during the summers between the junior and senior year and immediately after graduation.
The loan program is the product of an agreement between United Student Fund, Inc. (USA FUND) and the Peace Corps Volunteers Fund, a non-profit foundation established by the Peace Corps National Advisory Council.
Selection for the Advanced Training Program is the same as that used for all Peace Corps applicants. It is based on evaluation of the candidate's background as revealed in the Peace Corps questionnaire, Placement Test results, and character references.
Evaluation continues during the summer training program, and final selection is not made until the end of the second stage following college graduation.

THE PIZZA HUT
Arab Speaker Calls Israel A Charity State
Hassan Abdallah, director of the Midwest Arab information center and Jordanian consulate, called last night for the creation of a Palestinian state for both Arabs and Jews as a solution to the Arab-Israeli dispute.
Abdallah spoke before an estimated 300 people on "The Other Side of Exodus." His speech was sponsored by the Arab American Club.
"THIS IS THE ONLY solution short of war," Abdallah said. "The time is with the Arabs."
"Irael is an economic and political impossibility," he said. "Irael could not survive one year without United States help. For a state to live on charity is impossible."
"If they (Israel) are thinking of generations to come, they should be thinking of a settlement," he said.
Abdallah said the Arab claim to Palestine was over 2,000 years old. "We will not forget 2,000 years unless there is a just settlement," he said.
ATTACKING FORMER-PRESIDENT Truman's Middle East policy, Abdallah said Truman sold one million 200 thousand Arab refugees for a few votes in the United States.
He said all of Truman's Middle Eastern advisors warned him against helping Israel and Abdallah called him pragmatic.
"There are one million 200 thousand refugees now who are living on the verge of starvation," he said.
"So, if there is any conscience in the world, the cries of those refugees should be heard."
ABDALLAH ACCUSED the Israeli government of discrimination against Arabs in Israel and said Arabs had been reduced to second class citizenship.
"It is time the American people know the other side of the coin," he said. "If it wasn't for the Palestine question, our relationship would be as good as ever."
Abdallah felt a United Nations resolution of 1947 calling for a return to the boundaries set up that year and the compensation of Arab refugees who were displaced would go far toward an adequate solution.
