The film, "A Year Toward Tomorrow," lasts 16 minutes and depicts the work of VISTA workers on a Navajo reservation in Arizona and in an Atlanta, Ga., slum. It will be shown at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union Pine Room.
THE VISTA representatives arrived today and have set up an information table in the Kansas Union lobby where literature and application forms are available.
The representatives will be here through Wednesday.
Tom Moore. executive secretary
of the KU-Y, said he hopes to arrange for them to speak in several classes in addition to their scheduled activities.

AFTER A SIX WEEK training period, volunteers in VISTA serve for at least a year. Ordinarily, volunteers must wait up to 60 days for notification of acceptance into VISTA, but a new streamlined process for accepting college seniors is now in operation.

Tindale is curator of anthropology at the Southern Australian Museum in Adelaide and currently visiting professor of anthropology at Colorado University.
Tomorrow afternoon at 4:30, Tindale will discuss "Australia and the Aborigines" in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
A dissenting note was sounded by Eugene George, head of the Department of Architecture, which voted to discontinue the examination.
TINDALE HAS BEEN with the Southern Australian Museum since 1916 and has served as assistant entomologist, assistant zoologist, curator of anthropology and as acting director.
Author of some 165 books and articles, Tindale has established the existence of and mapped about 700 Australian tribes and is a recognized authority on several species and genera of moths and butterflies.
He held a Carnegie Institute Traveling fellowship in the U.S. in 1936; returning to the U.S. again in 1959 as visiting professor at the University of California at Los Angeles and as visiting lecturer at the University of Colorado.
His lectures are sponsored by the department of anthropology and by Student Union Activities.
"I think the English Pro was a good thing," George commented. "It was a mild pressure to get our students to be more concerned about their ability to express themselves in written English."
