The main reason for this, Vaughn said, "is a feeling that we are an official part of the Establishment." One government official explained, "Before the United States became deeply involved in Vietnam, young people did not mind so much being associated with the government, but now they do." Professor Sapp to lecture at Peru However, Vaughn says the expanding group oe student radicals who want to be completely disassociated with the government is not affecting the Peace Corps. "We haven't in any sense, or never have, tried to tailor a message for the activist. Our message is more to the concerned, and the concerned can be of almost any political stripe," he said. A KU authority on low temperature physics will be a visiting lecturer at Peru State College, Peru, Neb., March 6-7. Sapp will visit under the auspices of the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics as part of a nationwide program to stimulate interest in physics. The program, now in its eleventh year, is supported by the National Science Foundation. Richard C. Sapp, professor of physics and astronomy, will present lectures, hold informal meetings with students and assist faculty members with curriculum and research problems while at Peru. His research involves study of the nuclei of atoms at a temperature within a few thousandths of a degree of -459 degrees of Fahrenheit-absolute zero. Television series shows Hitler era The Germans during Adolph Hitler's rule were a "test case for humanity to show how easily a society and its values can be perverted" by turning its back on evil, the producer-director of an ABC television series on the Third Reich said. The series will re-create the Nazi era for the half of the U.S. population born after Hitler's death. The program will be telecast March 6.8, and 9. cruiter to talk with students, he said, "But now there's a lot of rivalry, and it's harder to get that conversation for a half hour." But Vaughn admits Peace Corps recruiting on campuses is more difficult now than it was several years ago. "Most campuses are boiling," he said. "There is more noise and more turmoil, which makes it much harder for us to get our message through." A few years ago it was easy for a re- Although the Peace Corps is associated with the "Establishment," there have been no problems between recruiters and student radicals, Vaughn said. "Words have been exchanged on occasion, but nothing to consider as a confrontation." seek respectability. All we seek is a chance to talk, and if nobody knows where you are, your exposure is so limited you don't have a chance to talk." The major problem for Corps recruiters comes when a college or university gives them space in the placement office rather than in a prominent open area on campus, such as in the student union, Vaughn said. "We don't When Vaughn talks about the present status of the Peace Corps, he emphasizes that the total number of volunteers overseas—now about 15,000—is higher than ever before, and the Corps is expanding at the rate of about eight new countries a year. Whether this expansion can continue or not is uncertain. "In the past," Vaughn said, "the only thing holding us back has been the lack of enough candidates to serve as volunteers." Since the Corps must appeal to young people who as a group are becoming more and more anti-government, this problem may be just beginning. BITING RETORT MADRID —(UPI)— When Carlos Carepetos bumped his car into a truck and yelled angrily at the truck driver, the truck driver jumped in a fury from his cab, bit off a chunk of one of Carepetos' ears, reboarded his truck and sped away. Doctors recovered the piece of ear at the scene, sewed it on and told Carepetos "it'll soon be as good as new." Pssst. Wanna buy a revealing glimpse of student life in Europe for a buck? Listen.
