10—The Daily Collegian Tuesday Nov. 4. 1980 Peace Corps is major University recruiter By GRETCHEN GORDON Daily Collegian Staff Writer Most students are familiar with recruiters who come to the University looking fof engineers and business students. But Penn State is also a major recruitment area for another type of employer the Peace Corps. Mary Keith, a campus representative for the Peace Corps and former corps volunteer, said in 1977 the University had 220 Peace Corps applicants, the highest number from any campus in the nation. Eighty-nine University students entered the Peace Corps last year, but Keith said the average is usually around 60. Representatives from the interna tional organization will be in the HUB lobby from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today through Friday, recruiting applicants for duty in one of 60 developing nations. Volunteers teach skills and fill shortages Freshmen career conscious, study shows By MARK GREEN Daily Collegian Staff Writer Freshmen entering Penn State in 1979 were more concerned with careers, more willing to let University officials ban controversial campus speakers, and more optimistic about college than their 1966 and 1972 counterparts, according to a study recently released by the University. The study, a comparison of freshmen surveys from 1966, 1972 and 1979, was completed in September by Kenneth W. Boras, planning analyst for the Office of Planning and Budget. It is the first comparison of the annual surveys the University has done, he said. Boras said although students still have approximate ly the same socioeconomic backgrounds and the same age and race distributions, the most evident dif ferences are in their attitudes and expectations for the future.

The film “The Toughest Job You’ll Ever Love” will be shown at 7 tonight in Waring Dining Hall, and at the same time tomorrow night in Findlay Union Building. The film is free to all in terested students and faculty. A question and answer period will follow. Peace Corps volunteers must be at least 18 years old, U.S. citizens, in good physical condition and skilled in a field that could be useful to the citizens of a developing nation. “General agriculture and skilled trades are the hottest moving areas For example, when asked what objectives they con sidered to be essential, the majority of incoming freshmen in 1966 and 1972 said developing a philosophy of life was most important. Last year, developing a philosophy of life was ranked sixth. Being well off financially, getting recognition from peers, being an authority in their own fields, and raising a, family were among those objectives that preceeded developing a philosophy of life. Also according to the study, freshmen in 1979 agreed more with University regulation of student publica tions, campus speakers and off-campus behavior than did students in 1972. Higher academic expectations were obvious in last year’s survey. For example, only 0.5 percent surveyed said they thought they would fail one or more courses, and almost 60 percent expected grades of B or better. The surveys used in the study are given yearly to right now,” Rudyj said. “We’ll be specifically targeting for applicants in these areas.” Other areas include forestry, business, engineering, education and health, but there are fewer openings in these fields. But Rudyj, who is on campus recruiting this week, said, “We usually have more applicants than positions to be filled it’s very competitive. But there are a substantial number of posi tions presently available to qualified applicants.” Positions are not established in the United States. The Peace Corps receives invitations from other nations and these host countries designate the areas in which individuals are needed, Rudyj said. If an applicant is accepted, the Peace Corps tries to place the person into the skill and geographic region of his or her choice.

A tour of duty lasts two years, but volunteers can serve up to five years if they show that the job they are doing is necessary and there is no one available to replace them. The expenses of living in a foreign country are paid by the corps. Rudyj said benefits of the Peace Corps program include cultural exchange and • experience in the chosen skill area. Volunteers also receive a subsistence allowance for living expenses, which Rudyj said is enough to allow the person to live comfortably. Also, a readjust ment allowance of $125 a month is saved in Washington, D.C., so the volunteer , will have money for living expenses im mediately after completion of the tour of duty. freshmen in participating colleges across the nation. Results are compiled at the respective colleges and then sent to the University of California at Los Angeles, which sponsors the survey. The study also shows: • More than 80 percent of the 1979 University freshmen said they depend on parental aid for at least part of their college costs. • 6.2 percent of last year’s freshmen said they smoked cigarettes, compared to 11.5 percent nationally. • Women entering University Park as freshmen shifted away from traditional careers such as educa tion, health professions and the arts, to business, engineering, law and science. • The percentage of freshmen favoring the legalization of marijuana has dropped off from 56.7 percent in 1972 to 46 percent'last year.

The shuttle is as big as a DC-9 airliner, he said, and its cargo hold is large enough to carry a Greyhound bus. It weighs 4.4 million pounds including rockets, and has a thrust capability of 7 million pounds. When the shuttle re-enters the earth’s atmosphere, it will be travelling at a speed of 25 times the speed of sound, and descending at a 22 degree angle, Stewart said. Compared to the two or three degree angle a com mercial airliner descends for landing, the shuttle will look like a dive bomber, Stewart said. The spacecraft is designed to endure 500 flights, he said. NASA is scheduling 60 flights a year over the next decade. A 747 airplane is used for transporting the space shuttle, and not as a launching pad, Stewart said. He said many people share this misconception because of the James Bond movie “Moonraker,” in which a shuttle flew off the back of a 747. Although the space shuttle program is scheduled to get off the ground in March, Stewart said it may not start until early next summer. Rocket malfunctions and the delay of the manufacture of special ceramic tiles for the exterior of the craft are the reasons why the shuttle may be grounded. Benefit to be held Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority will be holding a bailoon raffle this week to benefit the March of Dimes. Raffle chairman Rick Kron said raffle tickets are attached to balloons and sold for $l. He said fraternity and sorority members so far have raised about $14,000. The winner of the raffle will receive $5O, Kron said. He said 4,000 additional balloons, with raffle tickets attached, were launched at the University football game Saturday. The program has already received $3.3 billion in federal monies, Stewart said, but NASA is still trying to get the funds to add one more shuttle to its four ship fleet. Stewart said he plans to fly with the space shuttle. “I’ll be on board, maybe as a crew member,” he said. “I don’t know if I’ll actually fly a shuttle, or com mand one, but I’ll be on board. “You strap yourself to the side of 4.4 million pounds and blast yourself off the face of the earth; there’s still several thousand people who want to do that.” One of the projects which still needs funding, he said, is the Galileo project, scheduled for take-off in 1985. Galileo will send an unmanned spacecraft past Uranus on an intelligence gathering mission, similar to the Voyager expeditions. Because of the orbital patterns of the outer planets, it is integral that the mission go off on time“or wfe won’t make another one for 11 years,” Stewart said. Stewart, who graduated from Southern Mississippi University in the Army ROTC program in 1964, logged over 1,000 hours of combat flying time as an Army helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He was accepted into the NASA space program in 1978 as the first astronaut from the Army. Currently, he is involvedin the re-entry flight control system for the first space shuttle. Kron said whomever returns the ticket from the balloon that travels the farthest distance from-campus will win $l5O. All tickets have to be returned before Jan. 1 in order to be eligible for the $l5O prize. —by Rebecca Clark The polling place for the East Central 3 precinct was incorrectly reported in Friday’s issue of The Daily Collegian.
