While at the conference, Clou 11 ier, a senior in ait education and AHT/O vice president, heard a speech by the Rev. James H. | Robinson, OCA director.

THIS WEEK Cloutier received notification that he has been se lected to participate in the over seas operation this summer.

CMHJTIKR, who is student ! chairman of the Faculty-Student Peace <?orps Committee, is not | certain yet just where he will ' be assigned. "My first choice was Uganda with Tanganyika and Kenya as ! second choices,” he said "We will be working at the vil lage level on community proj ' ects. We may be doing anything from building a road, or to tcach j ing English.” A POREItiN student at the j University fiom Uganda is help ing Cloutier Swahili presently. "I hope to teach English with 1 visual circles to students in one West African nations. I believe it will facilitate a more meaning ful understanding of English if I draw pictures as I teach,” he said.

I’AKT OF THE time will be devoted to building groups rela tionships and developing work camp techniques. "The program will be divided into three periods,” Cloutier said. The first consists of meetings with government officials, institu tion heads, and students in the country. “This will give us a better idea of the governments and cul tural structure.” THE SECOND and most signi ficant of the three periods will he the actual project. following the project the group will travel around the west African country and visit neigh boring nations. The summer experience termin ates with a three-day stopover in Europe before returning to the United States. Cloutier said the program is viitually unknown in the Pa cific Northwest although it is better known in California as the first American school to partici pate was Occidental college. ItOBINSON', a New York Ne gro minister initiated the pro gram in 1958. The program also had its trial run in 1958 when 60 students journeyed to five African coun tries:. A typical project wa« in Ghana where the students started to build a two-room school house, but as a result of village enthu siasm expanded to a seven-room school. •IOI UNALIHT Marquis Childs has called the young people who participate in the person-to-per son diplomatic adventure, "the image changers.” Says Childs "Crossroads Afri ca is a wholly voluntary organi zation. It illustrates one of the greatest advantages of a free so ciety which, in contrast to a dic tatorship, people themselvo may take the initiative and do what government could or would not do. THE PROGRAM ope rates with out the fanfare which allegedly accompanies the Peace Corps. It was called "modern American pi oneering and program that be hes the moral disengagement with which American youth is so frequently, glibly and so unfair ly charged by the New York Times. Among national leaders who have lent their prestige to the program are honorai-y co-chair men Chester Bowles, former Un dersecretary of State and pres ently presidential advisor on Af rican Asian and Latin American Affairs, and Supreme Court Jus tic-' William O.
