PAGE EIGHT Bernadino Describes Corps Task When three Peace Corps of ficials arrived in the Philip pines early last April, negotia tions began for a Peace Corps project there, Dr. Vitaliano Bernardino, assistant director of the Bureau of Public Schools in the Philippines, said yesterday., Speaking to the 60 Peace Corps volunteers training here, Bernar-1 dino said that the Philippine gov ernment had been interested in a Peace Cows project ever since President Kennedy first spoke of the idea in his Campaign. "When plans for the project began the only information we had about the future volunteers was that they would be college graduajes," Bernardino said. It had to be deter Mined whai could be done best in only a one or two year assignment, he explained. Ile explained that since English is used to teach all subjects in the Philippine elementary schools af ter third grade, volunteers could serve by teaching English in the lower grades. Many children drop out of school after a few years because they cannot understand English well enough, he added. The Philippine government has requested 1,500 Peace Corps vol unteers as teacher-aides in Eng lish and science for the elemen tary schools of the rural central islands. Bernardino said "one of the greatest factors in economic development is in the area of science." It would create an "unwholesome impressio n," Bernardino said, if volunteers went only to teach English. Therefore, with the general background of the volunteers, plus Peace Corps training, aides could also teach science in the elementary school system, he said. Bernardino said the field of ser vice for the volunteer should be "open-ended" although each one is being prepared to assist mainly in English and science. Volunteers can help with boy scout and girl scout groups and participate in workshops, camps and community projects, he add ed. The volunteers will live as groups of four in a furnished homc, he said, but their assign ments to schools may be some dis tance away. They will probably use bicycles to travel since a car is out of gear with this type of program," he said. . . The 60 volunteer:: training here are part of a program to train 300 volunteers at the University be fore June 1962. This group's train ing will probably be completed the first or second week in De cember.

Hays said these community colleges would make the first two years of college less expensive because the student would be at home. Thus larger schools like this University, the University of Pittsburgh and Temple Univer sity could concentrate on pro grams for juniors, seniors and graduate students. When asked how soon he thought this system could take effect, he said he could not set a date becauge it was up to the legislature. However, he said he thought it would be within his lifetime. He added that if this program is not adopted, the tuition at the existing schools will go up as pro fessors demand higher salaries for more hours. In the long run, only the rich would be able to go to school, he said.

A leader in missile development, Aeronu tronic was assigned to build the U.S.'s first moon capsule for the NASA Ranger lunar exploration program. This 300-pound instru• mented package will be launched by a larger spacecraft for impact on the moon's surface where it will transmit computer data to earth. Meanwhile, back on this Planet, men and ideas are in constant motion at Aeronuttonic, planning scientific break-throughs which will effectively transform new concepts into practi- cal products for industry and defense. Aeronutronic has been awarded prime contracts for the Air Force "Blue Scout" rocket-space program; the development of DECOYS in the Air Force ICBM program; SHILLELAGH surface-to-surface guided mis• sites for the Army. Ford Motor Company recognizes the vital relationship of science to national security. Through our Aeronutronic Division sup plemented by our scientific research and engineering facilities at. Dearborn, Michigap, we actively support long-range basic research as an indispensable source of today's security and tomorrow's products.

Art Sokolove, in his brief ap pearance on stage, gives a ludi crous performance as the wreck ing crew boss in charge of de molishing the home of the Cave Dwellers. Evidently incapable of creative expression in this role, he mum bles his uninspired way from en trance to exit in a performance distractingly inferior to his fel low players.
