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

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'

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.

per cent of all Peace Corps vol-1

ates “With a liberal arts back

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
