PEACE CORPS CONFERENCE—John Fairhurst, Wichita junior, discusses plans with his committee members for the Statewide Peace Corps Conference to be held here May 3 and 4.
KUTo Host State Wide Peace Corps Meeting
The First Statewide Peace Corps Conference will be held Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4, on the KU campus, John Fairhurst, Wichita junior and chairman of the Special Events Committee said.
"The purpose of the conference," Fairhurst said, "is to better acquaint all interested high school and college students with the functions and philosophies of the Peace Corps."
NOTIFICATIONS OF the conference have been sent to school officials and student body leaders in all Kansas schools. In addition to the high school and college students, Peace Corps liaison officers and parents of Peace Corps volunteers have also been invited.
"A second mailing, containing registration forms, additional information, and newsreleases for publication, will soon be sent out," Farustur said.
The conference will begin at 6:30 pm, Friday, May 3, with a dinner in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Following the dinner will be a keynote address by a guest speaker. Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe has been asked to speak on "KU and the Peace Corps," but it is not definite yet whether or not the chancellor will be able to attend.
FRIDAY'S PROGRAM will be concluded with a half-hour of entertainment at 8 p.m., followed by a coffee hour.
A General Opening Session at 9:30 a.m., in the Kansas Union Big Eight Room will initiate Saturday's program. A Peace Corps official, Sargent Shriver, if he is able to attend, will speak at the session on "The Significance of The Peace Corps."
The remainder of the morning will be used for group meetings, with the participants being devided into four groups—high school students, college students, liason officers and parents of volunteers.

"The success of the conference rests upon two factors," Fairhurst said. "One is the efficiency of my committee, and the other is the interest of the people of Kansas in the Peace Corps movement."

France has well-founded reasons for its refusal to admit Great Britain into the European Common Market.
European Market Stand of French Is Viewed as Sound
Alden Bell, assistant professor of history, said at yesterday's Current Events Forum that French President Charles de Gaulle considers the Common Market a political institution in the fullest sense, while Britain and possibly the United States have not realized this.
Prof. Bell said De Gaulle knows the voting on specific issues in the Common Market could result in 3-3 ties among the present six members. He said the French leader feels the inclusion of Britain into the economic community would bring the voting 4-3 against France.
THE PROFESSOR said the crucial matter in the controversy now lies in an emotional aspect concerning De Gaulle's political reasons for his abrupt denial of British membership.
"De Gaulle knows he has the hostility of many, including some in France. He knew he had to use the shock treatment to show the need for a European entity," Prof. Bell said.
"I think he (De Gaulle) will succeed in this," Prof. Bell added, "It's not only social and economical, but political as well. He knows this European entity is needed."
He said the French President holds that a total emotional commitment is needed before Britain is admitted and the Common Market members have seen the need for their political unity.
PROF. BELL said he agreed with De Gaulle in believing Britain is not committed emotionally to a united Europe. "The British at the moment don't know which way to turn," he explained.
He said Britain still is vaguely obliged to the Commonwealth nations and is also in alliance with America, even though there is occasional ill feeling between the U.S. and Britain.
The British could turn solely to the U.S. or the Commonwealth nations economically, but they would gain more in the Common Market, the professor said.

KU Research Center To Study Voting
P-t-P Program Created To Aid Conversation
The People-to-People English in Action Committee will provide facilities for foreign students to improve their usage of English language — especially conversational English.
English classes do not provide in-
Miss Frances Ingemann, associate professor of English and speaker at the committee's first orientation meeting last night, said there are three main reasons for having the conversation sessions on an individual basis.
The committee will assign American and foreign students on an one-to-one basis to meet each week in informal conversation.
AMERICAN STUDENTS wil serve as models so foreign students can learn by imitation. The models will correct the English of foreign students if mistakes are made.
The results of the study being made by the KU Government Research Center on the Kansas City, Mo., municipal elections will not be known until late March or early April.
John Grumm, associate professor of political science and head of the Government Research Center, said 800 questioners have been filled out and returned for the analytical study on the primaries in Kansas City.
He said a similar study will be made for the general elections coming up March 26.

dividual instruction and attention because of large classes, she said.
She also said foreign students tend to associate with their own native groups and Americans usually feel that it is impolite to correct foreign students.
ABOUT 15 students have signed up to help foreign students in their language difficulties. More than 20 foreign students have shown an interest to improve their language by joining this committee.
American students will not emphasize theory or grammar of English, but will try to teach by examples and illustrations.
Students interested in joining the committee may contact Randy Williams, Blackwell, Okla., junior and committee chairman.
