Training Hard But Fun
Anne Sherwood, one of the
Peace Corps representatives on
campus this week, is also one
of the few people in the United
States who can speak Igbo.
Before she left for her Peace
Corps post in Orim, Nigeria,
Miss Sherwood went through a
three month training program
in which she learned to speak
the native language. That was
not all that she learned,
"The training program con
sisted of four parts: study of
the culture and customs of Ni
geria, language training, skills
and American history.”
The Peace Corps teaches 107
languages for the 56 countries
in which they now have volun
teers. In three months of train
ing, the volunteer spends be
tween 300 and 400 hours learn
, ing the language of the country
to which he has been assigned.
He is taught by native speakers
. using a total saturation
method.
The volunteer must also learn
a skill. “An English major, for
example, may have to learn
how to teach or sow seed or
drive a tractor. They must also
learn how to work with peo-

The fourth part of framing
involves American history. The
volunteer learns about the his
ceived his law degree in 1926 at
the University of Pennsylvania.
Clark practiced law in Phila
delphia and in 1934-35 was
deputy attorney general of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia. He was named Philadel
phia city controller in 1949 and
in 1951 was the first Democrat
in 67 years to be elected mayor
of Philadelphia!
He was elected to the United
States Senate in 1956 and re
elected in 1962. He serves on
Senate Committees on Foreign
Relations, Rules and Adminis
tration, and Labor and Public
Welfare. He is chairman of the
subcommittee on Employment,
Manpower and Poverty.
During 'World War 11, Clark
was chief of staff of the East
ern Air Command, • China-
Burma-India Theatre.
When he completed his term
as mayor of Philadelphia in
1956, Clark was presented the
Bok Award, the highest honor
and professional achieve

since 1957) and research

Add all these factors
together, and you’ll see why
Merck attracts some of
the finest engineering talents
In the country. And keeps
them.
How about you? Think
about the engineering variety
and sophistication required

about the good use these
products are put to.

country, including things such
as economic aid, general pol
icy and diplomacy. .
Along with all of this, the
volunteer goes through'a physi
cal fitness program.in-which
he learns the sports'-of the
country. Miss Sherwood said,
"I wen; to bed many nights
black and blue from pldying
soccer.”
There are five Peace Corps
training sites; two in the United
State, one in Hilo, Hawaii, one
in Puerto Rico and one in the
Virgin Islands. Along with
these, many university . cam
puses throughout the United
States are used for teaching
Peace Corps volunteers.'
Miss Sherwood said that
there were 120 people from all
over the country in her train
ing program. “They ranged
from people like myself, fresh
out of college, to a 68-year-old
grandmother wh> had taught
grammar school for over 30
years.”
After the training program
the voluhtedr leaves for his
country, where the training
continues. For in-country train
ing he works with the Corps
bestowed by the city on a
native son. It was the first time
it had been given for political
service.

Sign up for an interview at your placement office-even if
you’re headed for graduate school or military service.
Maybe you think you need a technical background to work
forus.
Not true.
Sure we need engineers and scientists. But we also need
liberal arts and business majors. We’d like to talk with you even
if you’re in something as far afield as Music. Not that we’d
hire you to analyze Bach fugues. But we might hire you to
analyze problems as a computer programmer.
What you can do at IBM
The point is, our business isn’t just selling computers.
It’s.solving problems. So if you have a logical mind, we need
you to help our customers solve problems in such diverse areas

Protest Tax
By DAN DONOVAN
Collegian Staff Writer
Taxes on travel outside thfe Western
Hemisphere, proposed Monday by the John
son administration, have come under attack
by University professors.
In a letter to Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Fowler, Henry S. Albinikj, president
of the University Chapter of the American
Association of University Profesofs, sug
gested that educators and students be exempt
from the proposed , tax.
. Albinski, in behalf of the organization,
said, “We feel very strongly, that persons
and their families who travel abroad on
legitimate academic business Should be ex
empt from any contemplated eitetimbrariOes."
The University AAUP believes that trips
abroad by students and faculty dre “enormous
investments toward the stimulation ot high
er education activity.”
Albinski described the valuei placed on
foreign travel by the AAUP: “The gains to
be derived are not just personal for the indi-
Carter Quits Amid Dispute
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. (AP)
Robert S. Carter, whose ap
pointment as president Of Slip

prompted controversy, has re
signed in the middle of a fac
ulty revolt.
Carter made public yesterday
a letter of resignation sub
mitted after the board of trus
tees stripped him 6.‘ the power;
to fire faculty members.
“It is my opinion that the
board of trustees by its actions
has demonstrated a preference
for the status quo" the letter
said, "In the'case of the state;
colleges, this supports medi
ocrity.” • ■ ■
’arter was appointed presi
dent by the trustees in March,
1966, over the protests of Sen.
Donald 0. Oesterling of Butler,
who . backed the acting presi
dent in the Senate.
“Dr. Carter hasn’t been all
bad," said Oesterling. “He has

Among those thought worthy of tax ex
emption were undergraduates id "rtudy
abroad” or “junior year in Europe" programs,
graduate students on foreign study project*
such as Hays-Fulbright or Rhodes scholar
ships, graduate students working on thesis
and dissertation research, faculty persons
working ort research projects or attending
international conferences and faculty oh visit
ing teaching appointments.
Opposition to the tax was based on the
consideration that “the imposition of finan
cial burdens would serve to prevent or unde
sirably shorten such trips, and to impose
burdens on people who normally have ortly
limited funds for what are meritorious' dnd
professionally connected purposes.”
Albinski also sent copies of the letter to
the chairman of a special committee investi
gating the tax and to the two Pennsylvania
senators. The Penn State Chapter has also
urged the national headquarters of the AAUP
to work against the levy on the national
level.

Oesterling said the dispute
was primarily an internal mat
ter, but he repeated his conten
tion that appointment of trus
