A national service program where young
people would work in the fields of education,
health, conservation and governmental
protection was discussed in a speech Wed
nesday by Donald Eberly, executive director
of the National Service Secretariat in
Washington D.C.
“Society seems willing to call upon young
men to win a war but seems reluctant to call

on young people to win the peace,” Eberly
said. “Ir. is out of this dilemma that the idea
for a national service act comes.”
Eberly envisions the national program as
being made up of young volunteers ranging
from high school drop-outs to college
graduates who will serve for two years in a
field of their choice. He believes the program
should be balanced between learning and
service.
Eberly said a volunteer would receive
room and board plus a small allowance
during his service which would not last more
than four years. He estimated the program
would cost the government $5000 per person
per year.
According to Eberly, a civilian volunteer
would have the same draft status as a person

serving two years in the military and
hopefully would be entitled to the same
benefits.
Eberly said he hopes to change the
national services idea from theory to practice
by instituting a pilot program involving 10,000
participants at a cost of 50 million dollars.
The pilot programs would be started in
cjties with a population of 500,000 or more and
would concentrate on one problem in
education or conservation. Eberly used the
example of employing 4,000 teaching aides in
the schools of Washington, D.C. After two
years the effect of the aides would be
evaluated and further proposals would be
I
made on the basis of these evaluations.
Although Sen. Mark Hatfield has drafted
a national service bill, Eberly said he felt the
best chance to get funds for the pilot program
would be to have the proposal attached to the
draft bill being considered in the U.S. Senate.
He said Sen. Hubert Humphrey was the most
likely person to take such action.
The only governmental program for
civilian service now in existence is the
California Ecology Corps, according to
Eberly. The corps was initiated by Gov.
Ronald Reagan to provide jobs for con
scientious objectors.

Two weeks ago the Upward Bound Program was robbed of ap
proximately $2500 worth of camera and tape equipment.
None of it has been returned thus far and there are no new leads on
the case, so program director James E. Hill placed an advertisement
in the Emerald offering $100 reward for “information leading to the
recovery or the conviction of person or persons responsible for
“ripping off” the equipment.
So far there has been no response to the ad either.
Upward Bound is a program which offers high school seniors from
low income families a chance to go to college. Though they may not be
doing well in high school, Upward Bound is concerned with their
possibilities and offers an eight-week academic program during the
summer which prepares them for the stiffer academic requirements
of college. The program graduated 28 such promising high-school
seniors last summer, and expects to do the same for 50 seniors this
summer, according to director Hill.
Upward Bound used the camera equipment for photography
classes, because “the students expressed an interest in photography,”
Hill said. “We have been shooting a film, but it will never be finished
now,” Hill added.
None of the equipment can be replaced, according to Hill. There
was no insurance covering it. Hill is investigating through University
channels to secure the money needed to replace the stolen property.
Money is appropriated however, on a priority basis. Loss of the
property will not kill the program, “but it hurts,” according to Hill.
