Starting Tuesday, Sept. 24 through Friday, Sept. 27, Peace Corps recruiters will be on campus looking for volunteers. Ken Barnes, Peace Corps recruiter for western Pennsylvania, said the recruiters will be looking for the December gradual and others. “I can show them a place in the Peace Corps even if their personal medical and legal qualifications say no,” Barnes said. ‘‘We can place virtually everyone.” Barnes, who spent three years in Jamaica as a Peace Corps volunteer, said they are looking for graduates in the fields of engineering, architecture, agriculture, nursing, home economics and arts instruction.' According to Barries, the Peace Corps has three traditional goals. j - “We provide technical assistance to countries that request it,” he said. “We give them skilled manpower, not machines.” I Those with specialized skills will be used in that “We provide a vehicle for cross cultural in area. but we can use any college grad,” he added, teraction with people from other countries. Barnes said those with liberal arts degrees and “And third, we educate the American volunteer, social science degrees can be used in an area where He learns a new language, travels and gets an they might have secondary skills. experience he ordinarily wouldnjt get.” Collegian notes Students interested in organizational meeting 7:30 joining the Daily Collegian p.m. Tuesday in 165 Willard, staff who can not attend Can- didate School Wednesday and F SHA will present an Thursday nights should con- Athe nian dinner party 5:30 tact Diane Nottle, 126 Car- p m Wednesday in the Maple negie or call 865-1828. r Room of Human Development Building.

One third of the volunteers are used in teacher training, he added. Barnes said three quarters of the Peace Corps volunteers are recent college graduates, with the average age being about 24. “But more and more we’re going after the mid career and retired person, such as teachers, car penters, farmers, health people, and surprisingly enough, we're getting them,” he added. Perhaps as an added incentive, Barnes said volunteers receive a 48 day vacation, which in wuu\> c 2 « a day subsidization. After their two year commitment is up, he said they can renew it for another year. Starting tomorrow Barnes and Terry Davis, Peace Corps recruiter at Penn State, will have recruiting stations in Boucke lobby and Chambers. • Full breakfast every day • All tips and taxes • Transfers to and from airport • Two swimming pools, sauna, beach bar, cycle ; shop, etc. i • Maid service daily Contact: Centre for Travel 114HeisterSt. State College, Pa. 238-4987 OR “Our Student Representative” Robert Moffett 234-1969 - (evenings) s 26s°°* lerson i Rocky's holdings cited WASHINGTON (UPI) The chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, which opens confirmation hearings today on Nelson A. Rockefeller’s l vice presidential nomination, said yesterday the panel must consider a potential conflict of interest raised by Rockefeller’s “immense” financial holdings. ; Sen. Howard Cannon, D-Nev., also said he sees no reason for Rockefeller to place his assets in a blind trust fund. “I just don’t think that the establish ment of a blind trust could really insulate the person... from knowing that he had those'interests,” Cannon said. Rockefeller released a statement last week which said he was worth $182.5 million. „° p ? n Fri .

He said that because Rockefeller’s family has holdings in four large oil firms, two airlines and many other companies that are regulated by the federal govern ment., “it does raise a most serious question in our minds.” All These Features Under One Root • Washer-Dryer Area • PmbalJ-Machines • Indoor Heated Swimming Pool • Basketball-Tennis Courts • Maintenance Man Living on Premises • Individual Thermostatic Control tor Heal and Air Conditioning • Ample Free Parking Spaces tor Each Apartment • Large, Bright Airy Rooms Laid out for Maximum Livability • Etficient.
