Open Letter to Students From Sargent Shriver Pear Student*: Five year* ago, in a campaign speech at the San Francisco Cow Palace, John K Kennedy first proposed the idea of a Peace Corps He conceived of it as a group of American* who would be willing to put their middle level skills to use for two years in developing nation* around the world. Today, five years after Kennedy’s Cow Palace speech, the Uni versity of Oregon is one of the nation's leaders in terms of the number of Volunteers It has contributed to the Peace Corps Right now, 100 Oregon graduates ore overseas, living examples of American friendship and concern to the people of 33 countries. They are sharing their knowledge and skills with the eager stu dents of Malawi and Turkey, the subsistence farmers of the Dominican Republic and Sierra la-one, and the exploited Indians of Chile and Peru Another 46 Oregon graduates already have returned from their two years of Peace Corps service In all, 146 Oregon Volunteer* have served or are serving in 42 developing nations of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. But what is past is prologue The Peace Corps needs more Oregon men and women We need more because nations all over the world are asking for help. / This is an unrivaled opportunity for kualified Americans to help themselves and their country. Won't you help? Sincerely, Sargent Shriver Former Director Peace Corps High School Seniors To Visit UO JyiicK Preview at the Univer sity Saturday will allow Oregon high school seniors and their parents an opportunity to become acquainted with the University and what it offers.

First round winners so far in clude Kappa Sigma Carson IV, Theta Chi-Pi Beta Phi, Phi Delta Theta University House, and Sig ma Nu-Kobbins Hall. Letters to the Editor (Cniiltntird hum Pmit 6) and said that we muat take John son's actions at their face value; otherwise we would Ret no where. The next question to be brought up was whether or not we should publicly support and thank Johnson for stopping the bombing The discussion lasted several hours and 1 will be able to give only the briefest sum mary of this exciting debate. The radicals' viewpoint ran be best summarized by quoting I). E Barrymore, Sr : “But mor ally we cannot support Johnson! We all know that he Is just be ing politically opportunistic and pragmatic." The moderates car ried the issue by their point that, as much of some of us may dislike the idea, we too must he pragmatic. We must be consistent and react favor ably when we are given what we demanded. The radicals wanted to have a protest rally anyway, demand ing that the US recognize the AFI.-CIO. They pointed out that they had joined a protest move ment and they expected to be allowed to protest, to denounce the government’s policies. It took considerable time before these hawks would be dissuaded from having a rally. Particu larly unhappy was one youth who was told that in any case he could not carry a sign saying "Win. Win with Ho Chin Minh!" We do have to think of our public image. The meeting closed on the conciliatory note that we would send a cunning telegram that would be composed by the psy chologist. This wily professor will so word the telegram that Johnson will not only negoti ate, but recognize the NLF (Viet Cong) and provide for self - determination of the South Viet namese people in addition to removing all the US. troops; otherwise Johnson will look like a fink in the eyes of the world. (He is already a fink in the eyes of the N.A.I.V.E.), So the crisis was revolved, we are still going to be a protest group, actively advocating peace and justice, morality and free dom, with liberty and equality for all' Robert Mumby Senior, Sociology Emerald Accomplishment Emerald Editor: Blundering, bumgling, bum bling. Stumbling into the lower depths Of new reporting. Sorting, distorting, retort ing , . . Unfortunately, there is little else that the Emerald does, so we arc going to conclude our comments at this point. Kenneth Smith Freshman, Pre-law. Philip Styman Freshman, Math. • • • Dubious Achievement Emerald Editor: letters of commendation for dubious achievements go to both the news department of the Emerald and to Scott Bart lett this week. The news department (as suming there is such an ani mal) managed to spell Sue Bathbun's (she's the new little colonel) name 75 per cent of the time it appeared in the paper over the past two months. They managed to spell Lt. Col. John Kreitz’ name wrong 100 per cent of the time it appeared and changed Jan. 15 to a Friday. We all have prob letns, and although the Emerald is the recognized heartbeat of the University, I maintain that they cannot invent a calendar without rationalizing some place. For Mr. Bartlett: Who is in the Kool Aid generation? Seems to me that one who fails to get support for his pet project should not invoke the names of various gods, large and small, and resort to namecalling to get us out and support some thing we do not believe in When 1 returned to find that slip of paper on my desk ask ing for, in generous terms, sup port for something other than what the president intended, I berated my roommate for not throwing you out bodily. I might note that you are mistaken People give a damn, but it’s bloody well on the other side. AN EWRDI BONUS: The Graduate Program The Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institutes conduct regularly scheduled classes for its grad uates, free of charge. During these classes, grad uates refine their new reading skills, learn to achieve higher speds, better comprehension . . . and when necessary, receive individual counsel ing. Every graduate is a lifetime member of this unique world-wide program. If you must support an un popular viewpoint, that’s fine, we are defending that right in Viet Nam. But don't be too sur prised when the people stay away in droves and treat you like something other than a latter day messiah. Your prod uct doesn’t fit the market. Fred Fhlers Jr., Business Adm. Those who have not received reg | istration material or cannot ob tain it at their high schools should contact the Office of Ad missions at the University immedi-, ately. One of the main features of i Duck Preview will be the school i and departmental meetings de- j signed to acquaint the seniors with course offerings and require-1 ments, and allow them to tour the facilities. Special events have also been Peace Corps... tContinued jrt/tn pat/e 1) dents, the recruiters stated 70 per cent of all Peace Corps vol-1 unteers are liberal arts gradu ates “With a liberal arts back ground,” said Butler, “you can! do a great deal to help these de veloping countries, such as filling secondary teaching roles in Lat in America after three months of j Peace Corps training.” Presently the Peace Corps is operating in 46 countries. Recruiters at the University for Peace Corps Week have signed 240 students to take aptitude tests later in the week. The sign up exceeds the 1965 Peace Corps Week by over 120, and exceeds a similar drive at Oregon State University by over 100. Class visitations, a movie, and tests continue until Friday. Test ing will continue through Tues day. (See letter, this page) TODAY’S STAFF Night Editor: Phil Sernas. Desk Editor: Larry Lange.
