• credibly good performance, so I'm
not worried about it.”
One Corpsman asked Shriver
how big the Corps would get.
“You have more to do with that
than I do," he said. “The Job
i Corps will grow when the Ameri
1 can people believe it is benefitting
i young men. But if you fail, two
or three years from now there
won't be a Job Corps."
His talk done, Shriver hopped
in a station wagon driven by a
Corpsman and loaded down with
about a dozen others and went on
a quick tour of the shops where
the trainees learn job skills.
He stopped, shook hands with
Corpsmen, asked what they were
doing, almost as if he were a poli
tician out to capture their votes
in an election.
At one point he told a reporter,
Were not giving these boys a
hand out. We’re giving them a
hand up The truth is they're pro

Monday night, April 25 by the
Student Publications Board.
Since Shriver was late, U S.
Senator Wayne Morse filled in the
time until he arrived, ‘’since I’m
so well known for fillibustering.”
He got a big round of applause
when he told the group that the
War on Poverty ’“does not cost too
much.”
“What’s human life worth?” he
challenged. “Just put a dollar
sign on it.”
He said the United States would
b e “penny-wise-pound-foolish t o
hold back such a training pro
gram because it costs too much.”
He said “there isn’t a center in
the country that has as high an
attendance rate or as low a drop
out rate” as the Tongue Point
Center.
