VISTA Aims At Self-Help By SALLY SIIAKRAKI) Kmcriilil sniff Wrllrr "The poor don't ask for help, because they ilon't know how to ask.” says Pat Morales, VISTA committee co-ordinator. A one-time VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) volunteer, Morales says that is why VISTA was set Up—-to help the people to help themselves, to provide youth with the opportunity and the motivation to learn and hope for the future, to provide train ing and the opportunity to work and to provide individuals the opportunity to live in decency and dignity. The new VISTA committee, set up under the auspices of the ASUO OP-CIT program and spon sored by campus VISTA, has been sponsoring VISTA week which lasts until Thursday. A program including speakers, movies, and an information table on the SU terrace has been under way since Monday. To Acquaint Community According to Morales, the week is to "get across to people what sort of things are going on, be cause people don't really know what community action is or what they can do about it.” VISTA, or the domestic Peace Corps, is a program under the Office of Economic Opportunity Act which was passed in 19(54. The only eligibility requirements are that the volunteers be 18 and "they be dedicated and sin cere people who want to work against poverty.” Usually a trainee is given six weeks of training in the field and classroom and then in sent out to work and live in the Held for a year They receive a subsistence check to pay for room and board and incidentals and a $50 per month stipend which is held for them until their year is termin ated. Federal Funds Funds for these expenses are allocated by the Federal govern ment. The VISTA training site at the University is located in Omega hall and the staff is composed of professionals in social work. Since the Lane County Youth Project had already been set up in this area, the VISTA program was incorporated into it, furnish ing trained volunteers to help the community action programs in Lane County. These programs have given birth to new ideas and ways to deal with social as well as economic problems of the community through the co-opera tion of local agencies and organi zations. These programs include Neigh borhood Youth Corps, Community Organization Action Program (COAP), Project Headstart, Fam ily Service, and many more. One of these programs—COAP -r-brought to the first meeting of the VISTA committee a cry for help. COAP works with the ADC mothers (Aid to Dependent Chil dren) in the area. Various pro grams such as hair care, home canning, sewing, marriage coun seling, baby sitting, and even an emergency ambulance program have been started by this organi zation. Works With Mothers COAP also works with the ADC mothers on budgeting and this is where the emphasis is being put. Four basic problems were out lined by COAP at the meeting: • The ADC budget is based on 1957 cost of living standards and is inadequate to live on. • There is no allowance for adult dental care, except for emergency extractions. • The housing allowance is $54 for one child, which must include all costs of housing — rent, utilities, etc., and a mother with five or more children re ceives $74 maximum. • Family allowances are cut if a child earns over $120 a year. Because of the need for vol unteers right away, a commit tee grew out of the VISTA Com mittee meeting—the Community Action Committee. The first meeting is at 8 p.m. today in the SU. Its purpose is to recruit and activate volunteers for commu nity service. Everyone interested is invited to come and those who are unable to come should con tact Pat Morales through the OP CIT office, 305 SU. The committee is open to all persons and groups interested in working in anti-poverty pro grams. Football Stats...

Student Body Sample (Continued from page 6) as a marketplace in which students are customers, faculty are salesmen and “knowledge” is the neatly packaged product? Before students can institute effective curriculum reforms, which change the University structure, such fundamental questions jnust be asked. As well as asking questions of the administration, student leaders should ask questions of fellow students. This year there should be an empirical study (with a random sample) of the student body, gauging opinions, not only of curricu lum reforms, but also basic educational philosophy. Are students really satisfied with the spoon-fed lecture system, or would they respond to a more personal, unstructured learning situation if given the chance? An accurate sample of, perhaps five per cent of the student body would be a helpful guide to specific proposals for the rest of the school year.

A world they never made? Nuts. What they dislike about it is themselves. What does Phil want—Hubert to give up cologne? What is Lou pushing for—the University to teach its students how to enjoy dirty faces and dirty minds? It is a subtle beginning to a subversive program. The soap boxing will become more vitri olic and obscene as the year progresses. Both of the boys have toned down last year’s vivid, glandular invective to tight-lipped sarcasm. But this is only a start. True to their pattern, following their code, they will turn the wry mouthings into hard scream ings as winter comes on. Please encourage letters like Phil’s and Lou’s in forthcoming issues of the newspaper. Such letters by these vociferous crit ics-of-everything help keep their ‘side’ on the bottom, as well as giving them something to do.
