Peace Corps Offers Advanced Training
By DAVID BUTLER
Feature Editor
For the past two years the
Peace Corps has been offering a
special Advanced Training Pro
gram for college juniors. Training
for a Peace Corps volunteer,
which normally is taken three
months prior to active service, is
extended for juniors in the ad
vanced program to a 14-month
project
Holly Green, now a senior in
English, was one of three Uni
versity students last year who
were accepted into the advanced
program. Due in Ethiopia next
fall. Miss Green is concluding
the second “face” of what the
YD's to Meet,
Review Position
The executive council of the
University Young Democrats will
meet at 4 p.m. today in the
Student Union to discuss the po
sition it took Monday that the
ASUO Senate should not take
stands on non-campus issues.
They will hear Senate Public
Affairs Committee Chairman Hen
ry Drummonds explain the rea
sons why the Senate has decid
ed to take stands on Viet Nam
and other off-campus issues.
At a Monday Public Affairs
Committee hearing on Viet Nam
a group of Young Democrats
questioned whether the Senate
could accurately represent stu
dents’ viewpoints since it is
elected by a small minority of the
student body and since sena
tors do not run on these issues.
The Senate had decided to take
stands on questions like Viet
Nam in order to instruct Univer
sity delegates to the National Stu
dent Association congress on their
votes on these issues.
The YD membership will meet
Tuesday to vote on a resolution
on Viet Nam to be presented to
the Public Affairs Committee.

I Peace Corps calls the three-face
! program.
• The first is summer training
\ between the trainee’s junior and
senior year in college, with em
phasis, in Holly's case, on lan
guage.
• The second face is the train
ee’s academic senior year in
school, intensifying what he learn
ed during the summer.
• The final stage is summer
training immediately before leav
ing for active corps service.
! In the past, the second stage,
the senior year, seemed to keep
many volunteers from returning
! to the corps, sometimes up to 50
| per cent. Explained Holly, in
many cases students, when they
i returned to school, lost identity
j with the Peace Corps. In several
instances students were offered
graduate study programs; and in
other cases students lost contact
with the corps, and therefore lost
interest.
However, the Peace Corps now
sends newsletters to all advanced
program trainees, information
from program directors, corre
spondence from the trainee's host
country, contact with campus
Peace Corps advisers, and mid -
winter conferences.

Miss Green applied for the
advanced program during last
year’s Pease Corps Week and
spent last summer training at
UCLA. She will return to UCLA
after graduation this spring for
several weeks final training.
While in the final stages of
training, she and other advanced
program trainees will live in
small groups or two to six with
families, or in small hotels and
rooming houses, in Los Angeles.
They will teach in the poorer
sections of Los Angeles, such as
Watts—where last summer’s riots
made national headlines.
The reason, she explained, is to
prepare the trainees gradually
for the drastic cultural and social
differences they will face when
they go overseas.
Presently there are about 500
advance training program volun
teers training in the country.
