Student Anxious To Aid Venezuela
By Russ Corbitt
A KU sophomore from England may spend this summer helping Venezuelans conquer slum problems.
Harlan Frymire, New Malden Survey, England, has volunteered his services to an American-Venezuelan project founded to help the slum dwellers of Venezuela solve their problems of crowded conditions, unemployment, and almost total lack of water, electricity, education and recreation.
"I haven't been accepted yet," Frymeir said, "but I will probably go with the group in June if my application is accepted."
FRYMIRE BECAME interested in the program while investigating the possibilities of joining President Kennedy's Peace Corps.
"I felt this project offered a better program for what I wanted." Frymire said. "It offers an opportunity for more individual initiative."
Frymire has been asked by the officials of the program to be the campus representative at KU, and to help introduce the program to other students who might be interested.
THE PROJECT IS called Americans for Community Co-operation in Other Nations. This is abbreviated to ACCION, the Spanish word for action.
ACCION is a private, non-profit organization affiliated with the Institute of International Education, the major student exchange agency in North America.
It is not affiliated with the United States government as is the regular Peace Corps, and is in no way connected with the Peace Corps.
ACCION RECEIVES its financial support from private individuals, and foundations and businesses in the United States, Canada, and Venezuela.
The organization was founded in 1961 by Joseph H. Blatchford, a political science and law graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles.
ACCION volunteers now operate 22 projects in 14 parts of Venezuela. Twelve community centers, two schools, and four water systems have been built under their direction. Three small industries have been successfully organized, and adult education classes for more than 2,000 have been initiated.

VOLUNTEERS ARE chosen on the basis of initiative, ability to solve practical problems, and capacity to lead and enjoy people, according to Blatchford.
Technical skills are helpful, but not required. Fluency in Spanish is an important but not determinate factor in selection.
All expenses are paid by ACCION. Volunteers usually serve for 18 months, although students who wish to return to school in September 1964 may serve a shorter term.
A two-week orientation course, previously held at Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, and Harvard University, will begin in late June. It will be followed by a two and one-half month course in Caracas and Valencia which includes intensive language study.
