Foreign Service Recruiting: Benefits Include Adventure
Have you been bitten by the travel bug and caught yourself dreaming about faraway lands? If so, here is a chance to fulfill your wishes.
The U.S. Foreign Service Department is now recruiting people for its program.
Explaining the program yesterday Frank V. Ortiz Jr., of the U.S. State Department, said, "This is an opportunity where you can be of great service to your country. There are many advantages and disadvantages that you might have to face while serving in a foreign country, but the experience you will gain, will outweigh all these factors.
"It is a service that affords you a chance to represent your country in the international world. It develops an international outlook in you because you are constantly dealing
Ortiz currently serves in the State Department as officer in charge of Spanish affairs.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT will conduct an entrance examination on May 1 in Lawrence. Application forms can be obtained from Clifford Ketzel, associate professor of political science. The deadline for filing applications is March 15.
He served in the American embassies at Cairo, Egypt, Mexico City, Mexico, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
with many types of people in different parts of the world," he continued.
Commenting on the various responsibilities of the officers in the foreign service, Ortiz said, "Our primary responsibility is to preserve the security of our country and our people. We have to negotiate agreements with other nations; help set up military bases in allied countries whose security is threatened by communist countries; keep contacts with the leading political figures in the nation where we are stationed; screen applications of foreign nationals who plan to come to our country; look after Americans abroad; and help promote U.S. trade.
"We need people who are well educated and are trained specialists to handle such difficult assignments."
OFFICERS IN THE Foreign Service serve for a term of two years in one country and are then eligible for two months of home leave, Ortiz explained. During their stay abroad, the government pays them, apart from basic salary, foreign allowance, house rent allowance, children's educational allowance and entertainment allowance.

图 2-17
KU's professor of naval science, Capt. Robert H. Eslinger Jr., has announced the appointment and promotion of 19 student midshipmen to officer positions in the battalion of midshipmen for the spring semester. The appointments were effective Feb. 15, 1965.
The new commanding officer of the 150 man organization is midshipman Cmdr. Dave Richwine, Overland Park senior, member of the varsity swimming team and Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He will graduate in June with a B.A. degree in political science, at which time he will be commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. The second-in-command will be midshipman Lt. Cmdr. Jay Henderson, Mission senior, majoring in psychology. Henderson will be commissioned an ensign in the U.S. Navy upon graduation in June.
Richwine will have a staff of eight senior midshipmen to assist him in directing and planning the activities of the battalion for the spring semester. Staff members include:
One of the main disadvantages in the foreign service is the sudden adjustment to a new environment, Ortiz said.
"You will have to stay in the new place for a length of time, whether you like it or not," Ortiz said. "After you have served in the Foreign Service for a number of years, you are classified as a foreigner anywhere, even in your own country," he added.
"BUT WHEN YOU sit down to think back about being chased by a lion in Tanzania or what was it like singing Christmas carols to the Emperor of Ethiopia, you get the satisfaction that you have been able to gain an experience which even the most money could not have bought for you," Ortiz said.
