FRIDAY. OCTOBER 13 1961 'Corps' Volunteers Study Philippine Island Customs In between pushups and immunization shots Philippine Peace Corps volunteers have been attending approximately 50 hours of classes a week. The trainees must also complete their reading of four books that have been assigned and will be included on their first examination Sunday. Classes on the customs, geogra phy and people of the Philippines are currently -being conducted. At one of the classes Wednes day the 64 volunteers were told that coed hand holding among Filipinos is considered "shame less." But it is perfectly accept able and a friendly gesture for two young men or two women to hold hands in public. "The Filipinos are a warm and affectionate people but are conservative in public in their relations between the sexes," Dr. George M. Guthrie, acting director of the Philippine Peace Corps contingent training on campus and professor of psy chology. said. Guthrip said that Bermuda shorts and short skirts are not appropriate for girls or women in the Philippines and women do not usually smoke in public. He added that some of the fe male volunteers may want to buy material and have dresses made to order by the expert Filipino seamstresses who charge "only two or three dollars." "The Filipinos know much more about us and our culture than we do about them because they are exposed to our movies, books, and magazines," Guthrie said. In addition, he said, the phrase "keep it vague and smile" might be quite applicable to many situ ations until the volunteers become adjusted to "barrio" life. A barrio, he explained, is a Philippine vil lage of 5,000 to 10,000 people. The barrios and native housing will be where the volunteers will be living for two years during their English and science Peace Corps teaching assignments in the Philippine elementary schools.
