VISTA representatives want Jayhawk volunteers
Recruiters for Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) will be on the KU campus March 27 and 29, according to assistant field director Ken MacKenzie.
Information about the recruiters' schedule is not yet available, but Tom Moore, executive secretary of the KU-Y, said that when VISTA recruiters were at KU in February of 1966 they set up an information table in the lobby of the Kansas Union, showed films in the Forum Room, and spoke in anthropology, sociology, political science and religion classes.
VISTA IS A NATIONAL PROGRAM established by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Its corps of volunteers, 18 year olds and up,
work to eradicate poverty within the United States. VISTA projects are located in urban slums; rural areas; Indian reservations; migrant camps; Job Corps centers; and mental hospitals.
More than 75 per cent of the program's volunteers are drawn from college campuses. VISTA expects to recruit and train 4,500 workers for more than 300 projects this year.
Each worked is trained intensively for six weeks and then serves for a year or more. Volunteers are paid living expenses plus $75 a month for spending money. At the end of their service they also receive an additional $50 for every month served.

First reports on Gallagher death wrong

LOCKWOOD IN "FURY
Rockets, possibly fired by Viet Cong rather than U.S. artillery, killed Ronald D. Gallagher, former UDK managing editor and KU graduate, in Vietnam on March 11.
The announcement was made yesterday by the commanding U.S. 9th division, Mai. Gen. G. S. Eckhardt.
GALLAGHER'S DEATH was initially attributed to a barrage of fire from 9th division guns.
Eckhardt said that investigations have shown that no 9th division guns fired the rounds and that the damage was done by 2.75 inch rockets which were fired by the Viet Cong on the ground or by mistake from U.S. aircraft.
