This year, for the first time, the Peace Corps and Vista are working jointly on service and training programs. A Peace Corps volunteer may spend a summer working as a Vista volunteer, then spend two years in a foreign country under the direction of the Peace Corps.
A NUMBER OF KU students have shown interest in this program.
"The advantage of this for Peace Corps trainees is that this way they spend less time doing theoretical work and they experience the practical side of the job right away," Miss Twigg said. "Also, they might decide to work for Vista instead.
"A YEAR TOWARD TOMORROW," a film showing volunteers in action was shown three times yesterday. Narrated by Paul Newman, the movie has been nominated for an Academy Award. It portrays life on a Navajo Indian reservation and in the slums of Baltimore.
The movie was designed to destroy the illusion that Vista offers its recruits a simple, romantic life.
