PAGE EIGHT
U.N. to Consider
For International
By DOTI DRASHER
This is the sixth in a series of articles explaining the various
phases of the Peace Corps program.
The proposal for an international Peace Corps is now one
of 95 items on the agenda of the United Nations for the cur
rent year.
The proposal for the establishment of such a program
grew out of President Kennedy’s U.S. Peace Corps and could
lead to a cooperative effort among
nil nations of the world in helping
underdeveloped countries wipe
out disease, illiteracy and hunger,
Samuel P. Hayes, drafter of the
original study, said recently.
Before an international corps
was proposed and before a na
tional Peace Corps was estab
lished, many private agencies in
the U.S. had years of experi
ence in aiding other countries
in similar kinds of programs
But the Peace Corps, as a na
tional program, is the first which
has been endorsed and carried
through by a president. Although
the Peace Corps plan stipulates
that "race, religion and politics”
shall play no part in the program,
there have been numerous com
plaints about the corps both here
and abroad on those issues.
An International Peace Corps
as has been proposed in the Unit
ed Nations could largely erase
those criticisms, Hayes said.
"The cause of peace can be
more effectively served if the
United States invites other na
tions to join in establishing a
genuinely international Peace
Corps under the United Na
tions, he said. The International
'Dhvaldi' Light Festival
The Friends of India Association
will celebrate "Diwali,” The
Festival of Lights, at (1:30 p.m.
tomorrow at the Grace Lutheran
Church,
“Diwali” is a national festival
in India for people of all ages and
beliefs. The name, The Festival
of Lights, comes from the illum
inations and fire-works which are
part of the celebration.

Peace Corps "would be jointly
determined, jointly staffed and
carried out by every participat
ing country," Hayes said.
Included in the goals of such a
program are:
• increasing literacy, scientific
knowledge, and technical assist
ance
• increasing dissatisfaction with
traditional levels of living and
jestablishing the concept of prog
ress
• increasing interpersonal com
munication on all levels among the
people including those helping
and those native to the country
• increasing economic oppor
tunity !
The size of an International
Peace Corps can not be deter
mined at such an early date,;
Hayes said, because estimates of !
its optimum size vary from 5,000!
to 100,000. |
In any case intensive and ef-]
fective training and selection pro-j
cesses must be 'thoroughly de
veloped. he said, to insure the
success of such technical assistance
coming from countries around the
world and being sent to aid many
others.

Dorm to Receive
New Desk Lamps
Either McElwain or Atherton
Hall will have new desk lamps
by next fall, Otto E. Mueller, as
sociate director of housing, said
recently.
Recently 600 new study lamps
were bought for Watts and Sim
mons Halls to replace the “sight
lights,” tall, Incandescent desk
lamps with grey hoods which re
flected light downward.
"These lights were bought be
tween 1947 and 1950,” Mueller
said. ‘‘They were the best that
were available at that time.”
The "sight lights” removed
from Simmons will be salvaged
and parts from them will be used
;to repair broken lamps from Mc
iElwain, he said. Many of tha
| same types of lamps replaced in
;Simmons are still in use in Mc-
Elwain.
j In Atherton there are now about
,6 new lamps, which are 30 inches
high with translucent fiberglass
shades and milk glass reflectors.
“We have several different
types of lamps scattered through
the residence areas,” he said.
“We are trying to find out which
.type of light is best for each
'dormitory.”
| Jordan and Atherton Halls have
the poorest lighting of the living
areas, Mueller said. Pollock and
'East Halls have the best, he added.
