the academic year. The course
offerings are not designed to be
clinics in teaching methods for
the new approaches to the sciences.
However, much of' the
subject matter, enrichment essential
for teaching such courses,
as well as improvement of conventional
approaches, will be
included.
Specific courses available in
1963-64 include Modern Geometry,
Biological Techniques,
Conceptual Approach to Chemistry,
Principles of Instrumentation,
and Chemical Instrumentation.
In teresting interdisciplinary
aspects of future offerings include
speciaily designed courses
in chemistry for teachers of
biology and general science, and
in mathematics for teachers Of
the various physical sciences.
Dr. Barone indicated that members
of the University s·taff
scheduled to teach in the program
for 1963-64 include Prof.
Robert E. Bolger, who is also

Post-Prom Party
Kevin G. Murphy, '64, chairman
of the Post-Prom Committee,
announced that the party
will begin at 1 a.m., following
the Prom at the Longshore
Country Club, and ends at 3:30
a.m. The annual affair has a
"unique" aspect this year since
a 30 by 60' foot tent will be
erected to house the festivities.
Music by "The Dukes" and soft
drink refreshments are supplied
in the $4 per couple charge.
Murphy stated that dress was
to be "very, very casual," and
since no tables would be set up
inside the tent, couples should
bring blankets.
Such a tent party invited
questions about weather especially
rain. Chairman Murphy
said the tent has side walls
which can be let down if rain
comes.
Tickets to these events and
all of the weekend's events are

announced that the two week
period during which Sophomores
had been given the
opportunity to sign up for
orientation ended that day.
By three o'clock Friday afternoon
the largest number of
Sophomores had signed up
for orientation in the history
of the school. He said he was
confident that the Class of
'65 will be able to conduct a
successful Orientation program.
Chairmen of the various
committees will be announced
within the next two
weeks, according to Mr.
Shaw.
The programs have vital significance
to the local area where
forward-looking school systems
are constantly improving their
courses, and where science and
mathematics teachers are making
determined efforts to enrich
their backgrounds.
In addition to the increase in
size, the Foundation has indicat"
ed to Dr. John A. Barone, Institute
Director, its· intention to
support an additional two years
of the proposed sequential program.
This will depend, however,
on funds being made available
to the Foundation by Congress,
which provides them on
a yearly basis. Subject matter
programs are available in
mathematics, biological sciences,
and physical sciences. Participants
selected will have the opportunity
to increase proficiency
in their own field or take
courses toward certification in
related fields.
The need for interdisciplinary
knowledge in the science is reflected
by the nature of the sequences.

Fairfield University has been
awarded a $14,840 grant from
the National Science Foundation
in support of the In-Service
Institute for Secondary
School Teachers of Science and
Mathemati'cs during 1963-'64.
Notice of the grant was given
to the Very Rev. James E. FitzGerald"
S.J., President of the
University, by Dr. Alan T. Waterman,
Director of the Foundation.
This grant represents an
increase in the amount of financial
support given the Institute
which is now in its third
year, arid will allow expansion
of the program. The University
plans on accepting at least 75
teachers of science and mathematics
from local junior and
senior high schools. The Institute
staff received over 175 applications
for the courses in
biology, mathematics. and physics
this year. In order to partially
fulfill this demand, Fairfield
U. permitted the enrollment
of 65 participants without
tuition even though funds for
only 52 students were made
available by the Foundation.

Library Experien~es
$1600 Pilfering

books were stolen from the library

$1600. Among the books taken
from the library was one. volume
of the valuable elevenl1:11.

"We recognize this is
one of the difficulties of maintaining
open stacks, but believe
that the advantages to the stu-.
dents of open stacks justify this
risk." This is the statement of
Rev. Francis A. Small, S.J.,
head of the Fairfield library
concerning this unbelievable
condition. On the other side of
the ledger are many facjlities
at the library of which the majority
of students know nothing.
The library has a large' microfilm
department. Of the 540
magazine titles and periodicals
received in the library over 100
are on microfilm. It purchases
the microfilm instead of binding
the original edition as this
saves money and also more important,
space. A full year of
the New York Times fits into
one file drawer. In addition to
current journals the library has
been able to buy microfilm
copies of older issues long out
of print.

to weekdays, 8:30-4:30

Wherever you may roam in Europe and in all fifty states of the
Union, you'll find Marlboro ever-present and ever-pleasant-filter,
flavor, pack or box.
Summer vacation is just around the corner, and naturally all
of you are going to Europe. Perhaps I can offer a handy tip
or two. (I must confess that I myself have never been to
Europe, but I do have a French poodle and a Germanshepherd,
so I am not entirely unqualified.)
First let me say that no trip to Europe is complete without
a visit to England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany,
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Lichtenstein, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg,
Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia,
Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania, Crete, Sardinia, Sicily, Hungary,
Rumania, Bulgaria, Lapland, and Andorra.
Let us take up these countries in order. First, England.
The capitai of England is London-or Liverpool, as it is
sometimes called. There are many interesting things to see in
London-chiefly the changing of the guards. -The guards are
changed daily. The old ones are thrown away.
Another "must" while in London is a visit to the palace of
the Duke of Marlborough. Marlborough is spelled Marlborough,
but pronounced Marlboro. English spelling is very quaint, but
terribly disorganized. The late George Bernard Shaw, author
of Little Women, fought all his life to simplify English spelling.
They tell a story about Shaw once asking a friend, "What does
g-h-o-t-i spell?"
The friend pondered a bit and replied, "Goatee."
Shaw sniggered. "Pshaw," said Shaw. "G-h-o-t-i does not
spell goatee. It spells fish."
"How IS that?" said the friend.
Shaw answered, "Gh as in enough, 0 as in women, ti as in
'motion. Put them all together, you get fish."
This was very clever of Shaw when you consider that he was
a vegetarian. And a good thing he was. As Disraeli once remarked
to Guy Fawkes, "If Shaw were not a vegetarian, no
lamb chop in London would be safe."
But I digress. We were speaking of the palace of the Duke of
Marlborough-or Marlboro, as it is called in the United States.
It is called Marlboro by every smoker who enjoys a fine, rich
breed of tobaccos, who appreciates a pure white filter, who likes
a soft pack that is really soft, a Flip-Top box that really flips.
Be sure you are well supplied with Marlboros when you make
your trip abroad. After a long, tiring day of sightseeing there
is nothing so welcome as a good flavorful Marlboro and a footbath
with hot Epsom salts.
Epsom salts can be obtained in England at Epsom Downs.
Kensington salts can be obtained at Kensington Gardens,
Albert salts can be obtained at Albert Hall, Hyde salts can be
obtained at Hyde Park, and the crown jewels can be obtained
at the Tower of London.
The guards at the Tower of London are called Beefeaters
because they are always heefing about what the}' p:et to eat.
This is also known as "cricket" or "petrol."
Well, I guess that about covers England. In next week's
column we will visit the Land of the l\'Iidnight Sun-France.

motif is red and black, and
should provide a desirable location
for both play-going, and
social gatherings connected with
productions. A planned coffee
lounge has been allotted a large
space to one side of the main
lobby, and should add to the
small theatre atmosphere when
it is completed.
The Desired Effect
Mr. Emerich planned the theatre
along the lines of the better
summer theatres and the offBroadway
playhouses which
have experienced growing popularity
in the last few years. In
its first play, too, the producers
have attempted to strike the
tone of scripts they would like
to do in the future. Mr. Emerich
has long desired to direct The
Glass Menagerie, and feels that
"this is the best thing I have
ever done." He welcomes any
suggestions from students of
possible future productions. It
is important in the next seasons
to work with plays which enable
the actors and directors to make
the most functional use of their
new stage.
The playhouse seats one hundred
thirty people in red and
black lawn chairs, and Mr. Emerich
feels that this small size
will enable longer runs, and
will be an asset because of its
"adaptability to experimental
fresh taste!
Emerich Directs
Four Star Cast
"I feel like a Bertold Brecht
who's just been given a theatre,"
said Mr. Robert Emerich, director
of the Drama Society, when
asked his reaction now that the
Fairfield University Playhouse
is about to make its debut on
campus with the Tennessee Williams
play, The Glass Menagerie.
The production with a cast of
James Majoros, Robert Edenbach,
Mrs. Susan Hyra, and Mrs.
Vera Mayers will open for the
public on May 1 and will run
through Saturday, May 4. On
May 1 and 2 student rates will
be available. On these evenings
curtain time will be 8:00 p.m.,
"and the audience will be invited
to broach questions to the director
at the end of the play. Mr.
Emerich feels this innovation
will help to inform the student
body ,about the activities of the
Drama Society, and will increase
interest in their productions
in the coming seasons.
From April 25-27 the play will
be presented for the benefit of
previously, invited audiences,
composed of community officials
and benefactors to the University
Playhouse. For these performances,
and those Friday and
Saturday the' curtain time is
8:30 p.m. There will be a Saturday
matinee.
From his first day at the University
Mr. Emerich had his ey~
out for a suitable building fOr
a playhouse. Within a few weeks
he had told Fr. Laurence Mullen,
S.J., that he thought the
barn presently being used as a
maintenance outlet for the
school would be a good site for
the theatre. After much deliberation
and negotiation on the part
of both men it was decided that
the "garage situated next to the
barn could be converted into a
playhouse with greater facility.
Mr. Emerich, who designed
the stage according to the accepted
formulae of theatre architecture,
related that "very good
use of the space available was
made in the renovation." We
found this to be true during a
tour of the building where we
examined not the structure of
the stage itself, but also took
note of the tastefully decorated
lobby, and seating area. The

JAMES MAJOROS '64
Inquiring about the tendency
of the last few years to concentrate
heavily on the production
of tragedy rather than comedy,
Mr. Emerich replied that the
reason for this is simply that
comedy is more difficult to put
on the stage, and it i's difficult
to train people· in proper expression
and movement. Mr.
Emerich did say that response
during the reading sessions for
"Menagerie" was very good, and
many freshmen tur.ned out to PRODUCTION STAFF MEMBERS Orest Fiume '64,' James

Iiams is difficult in the sense1-----
that the first impression of the
audience is that the play they
are watching is a light domestic
comedy. He feels it is important
to present this image solidly in
order that the audience may become
aware, during the course
of play, that there is a deeper
insight involved in the human
relationships 'Portrayed.
In order that more polished
performances may be given in
the future Mr. Emerich plans to
re-institute the player's workshop
which was begun last year.
During the original workshop
Mr. Emerich worked with eight
people whom he helped with
the study of voice and movement,
and the various other aspects
inherent in the actor's interpretation
of a particular role.
One of those eight men, Sam
Groom, who appeared two years
ago in the production of Hamlet,
directed by the Rev., John L.

Austin, Texas-(I,P.)-Although less
than half the students vote in campus
elections and though 'some criitcs describe
student government activities as
"Mickey Mouse," the Students' Association
at the University of Texas discharges
definite responsibilities.
For instance, the Student Assembly
approves the apportionment of each
$17.57 student activity fee ("blanket
tax") to eight different student activities.
Such fees last Fall amounted 'to
more than $300,000.
Committees maintained by student
government conduct opinion surveys
and referendums; hear grievances about
campus practices; study ways to improve
scholastic integrity and enhance
the educational atmosphere; provide
leadership for freshman orientation,
the Campus Chest fund drive, and the
flash card, Roundup and Cultural Entertainment
activities; supervise elections
and investigate problems related
to international students and integration.
During the past year, the Assembly
took action in a number of areas including
married students' housing, student
insurance and wages, disciplinary
regulations, curfew hours and tuition.

but, nevertheless, guarantees are few.
Thus, the Service is simply and really
presented as a task to be done, a
sacrifice to be offered.
Few of us, as college students,
consider the debt we owe to society
for supporting us during these four
years. We speak as if we have rights
because we pay tuition and board,
when our parents and government
loans are maintaining our financial
stability that we might study. Rarely
do we think of our true position
and the State's position: we are sup- ,
ported, protected. and guaranteed of
our rights.
As Catholics, who are continually
relying on the Natural Law as a
source for our social teachings, we
must not neglect an understanding
of man's relation to the State. which
we will always rely upon and- which
will look to us for support and the
future of the commonweal.
,To neglect our obligation to the
state is easy and often seems intelligent.
It is ironic that the very society,
in which we can be irresponsible is
maintained by a State dependent
upon the responsible.

McCarthy Ends
Philosophy Series
"The Role of Philosophy in
History," a lecture given by Dr.
McCarthy of the history department,
was held in Canisius
Hall on Monday, April 8. The
Judaeo-Christian and Greek
heritages of western civilization
were contrasted with the nonrational
and intuitionist traditions
of the East. Dr. McCarthy's
thesis was that the Hebrew
concept of a God who is
transcendental, and the Greek
notion of abstract concepts, are
traditions essential to the preservation
of civilization and the
only real basis for the concept
.of the dignity of man.
The lecture was presented by
the Philosophy Club as a conclusion
to its series of lectures.
At the final meeting of the
year, the Philosophy Club will
assign topics for its members to
research over the summer vacation.
Any student interested
in participating, whether or not I
he is a member of the club, can
arrange to do so by contacting

Tomorrow, April 25, Mr. Robert

Community Relations Director
of the Congress of Racial Equality
(CORE) will speak on the
activiti~ and aims of his organization.
CORE has been in
the vanguard of integration

campaigns and sit-in
movements in the South. Mr.
Gore was one of the leaders in
the successful Charlotte, North

essays published in "Village

Black South," and in magazines
abroad. He has also written for
the "Quarterly Review of High·

and "Fellowship" magazines.
Continuing their sponsorship
of controversial speakers, the
Young Democrats will bring Mr.
Nolan Kirschner, Executive Director
of the Fairfield County
Committee for a Sane Nuclear
Policy (SANE), to the campus
on Wednesday, May 1. SANE
has been active in the effort to
ban nuclear testing and to disarm
the world powers. It has
been critical both of the policies
of the Soviet Union and of the
United States. Mr. Kerschner
will endeavor to explain the
views and policies of SANE.
Both speakers will give their
talks at 7 p.m. in Canisius room
201. Their initial presentations
will be followed by a more detailed
question and answer session
with the students in Campion

speakers appear under the

The instrumentation courses
to be given by the Chemisrtry
Department next year will emphasize
physical methods for
the determination of structure,
aimed at teachers of the physical
sciences, and methods which
have possible application in
.modern biology for the teachers
of the other sciences. Important
ideas relative to recent advances
in fundamental knowledge
will be stressed and instruction
in the operation of
the instruments will be given.
The course will utilize over
$55,000 worth of equipment purchased
by the Chemistry Department
as a result of grants
provided by the National Science
Foundation, the National
Cancer Institute, the Air Force
Office of Aerospace Research,
and the Atomic Energy Commission.
This will be augmented
by instrumentation purchased
by the Department prior to that
time from University funds and
from other grants.
The participants will receive
book and travel allowances in
addition to free tuition. They
may enroll for one year or remain
for the three-year sequence.
The sequence has been
designed so that the participants
may begin their studies in any
year, although this will, of
course, depend on their background.
The participants can earn. six
credits a year for the' three
years, which can be applied to
a Master's degree or a sixth
year Certificate of Advanced
Study. The eighteen hours earned
during the three years would
constitute a subject matter major
for the degree or certificate.
This is consistent with the national
need for teachers to place
their emphasis in advanced studies
on courses either in their
teaching areas or in related subjects.

Whether this proposal and the
past editorial comments are r~lated
coi!,\cidentally or not, the
criticisms are answered.
This proposal is not only the
result of the present student
officers' efforts, but also the
work of Louis Zowine, '62. I
think the central problem, concomitant
to the system's adoption,
is the encouragemnt of
students' talent being dev.ote~
to the government's success.
The proposed tri-branch system
is laudable; the dilemma of student
support remains.
James C. Moore '64
I would like to see the proposed
form of Student Government
as outlined in the April 10
edition of the STAG passed.
The evolution of a party system,
meetings of the entire student
body, and a greater personal
interest in our university
could easily be among the benefits
brought about by the new
and more active government.
Greater authority and, in
turn, responsibility will be given
to the students of Fairfield
under this system. Here, for
example, the Student Council
can pull the ever present thorn
- a campus - from a person's
side; or, on the other hand, pass
punishment on a student when
necessary.
I feel we are capable of accepting
this greater authority
and responsibility, and that the
new Student Government as
proposed, while coordinating
the activities of all the extracurricular
organizations, will
bring about not only a more
united and interested student
body, but a more positive and
active one.
Robert Ross '66
The three branch system of
government proposed for the
Student Council is an excellent
step in the right direction. The
students of Fairfield have been
for opportunities to exert more
influence in the running of the
college-this is the sought for
opportunity. The three branch

On Saturday, April 20 at about 5:15 p.m., a strong
right handel' went into his final windup ad' the day, his
last offering was hoisted h~gh into left field, and as the
white baH fell into the fielders glove, a great ocourrence
had taken place.
What was the ,great occurence and what significance
did the last out have? The answers to these
queries concern the Fairfield baseball team, who defeated
perhaps their most impressive rival on their
schedule of the Spring baseball season. To a struggling
club regardless of the sport, the first victory is most
impressive; depending on where it comes it can have
far reaching effects on the athletes attitudes. To a team
like ours, a win after three disheaTtening losses is a
teri'fic impetus toward future games.
Beating Fairleigh Dickinson added a couple of elements
to the Stag cause. First of all this was a league
game in the Collegiate Baseball League, and this happens
to be not only the home club's first league victory
of this year but also our first since we entered this
lea'gue two years ago. This league also includes St.
Peter's, Bridgeport, Seton Hall, Upsala, and Rider. The
victory also gives some prestige to this usually
disheartened crew. for Farleigh had just come
off an impressive 4-2 win over St. John's University on
Friday and then dropped a 10-6 encounter to our club.
On paper this looks good for St. John's is ranked number
9 in the national baseball standings.
Despite Saturday's impressive show, things are not
so rosy as has been witnessed for example in the first
three games. What can be done to help put out a more
representative baseball club for this school? Baseball
is a major sport, at Fairfield but it takes on the value
of cross country, with the exception of the fact tha't it
usually has some spectators. 'Dhe only answer is to recruit
some goad high school players..Just 2 or 3 a year
would suffi'ce to .form the nucleus for an outstanding
squad. If this is nat done it does loo~ as if the sqruad
will show nothing but what it has always shown. For
in this sport a better than average hig1h school ball
player will of course seek a scholarship or else look for
a school with a promising squad. What comes of our
team as well as the other sports naturally will Be left
up to the athletic department and what concrete things
they decide to do on improving athletics at Fairfield.
Today at 2:30 on Alumni
Field the Stags meet their arch
rivals, the University of Bridgeport.
In this game the Stags
will be out to seek revenge for
the 9-3 set back they suffered
to our neighbors on April 9 at
Seaside Park.
The contest might see Mike
McLaughlin and Fairfield's Ed
Skibiak hook up in another
pitching duel. McLaughlin has
not been beaten as yet this year

development worker in the Dominican Republic. Stone and the 145 other Volunteers in the
Dominican Republic are teaching English, sparking self-help school construction and organizing
4-H clubs. They make up the field staff of the first rural extension program the country has
known. Liberal arts graduates will start training in June for Peace Corps communitY'develop'

A 27-minute color film, "The
Peace Corps," is now available
free to college, civic or church
groups interested in a comprehensive
program report on the
Peace Corps.
The ]6mm documentary, narrated
by Dave Garroway, includes-
scenes of Volunteers at
work in several countries and an
interview with Director Sargent
Shriver outlining the entire selection
and training process.
Another film produced by
NBC News, "The Peace Corps

at no cost. Both films may be
booked through regional offices
of .Modern Talking Pictures,
Inc., or directly from the Peace

Washington 25, D. C.
Two specialized film strips
outlining work of Volunteers in
mepical and agricultural programs
are also available from
the Washington office.
. More .than 4,000 new Peace
Corps Volunteers will be selected
during the next few
months to serve in 45 developing
nations around the world. Some
of these men and women will be
replacing Volunteers who are
completing their two-year period
of service this year. '
Others will be filling completely
new assignments requested
by countries in Africa, Latin
America, the Near and Far East
and South Asia. Some 300 different
skill areas are represented
in the jobs, most of which will
be filled by the end of 1963.
Opportunities for Americans
to invest their time and talent
in helping people to help themselves
are greater now than at
any time in the brief history of
the P~ace Corps.
Liberal arts students will teach
elementary or secondary school,
or serve in community development
programs, filling many of
these new assignments. Nurses,
engineers, carpenters, mechanics,
farmers, home economists,
lawyers-and many other skilis
- are also represented.
To qualify for 'Peace Corps
service, a person must, of course,
have more than the· basic skills
required. This second college
supplement is designed to inform
potential Volunteers about
the specific opportunities for
service and the types of Americans
needed' to fill these assignments.

Peace Corps engineers in
Tanganyika are building roads,
constructing bridges, surveying
harbors and harbor facilities, .
river crossings, airports and
drl1inage systems. .
"The fact that the job is in
Tanganyika adds a touch of the
unusual, however," said Art
Young; a Peace Corps engineer.
"More than once surveying
teams have been driven off the
job due to curious elephants
wandering too close for comfort."
The engineers' main project is
to build a network of small
farm-to-market roads in even
the most remote agricultural
areas.
Tanganyika's economy is
b.ased largely on agriculture, yet
only nine per cent of her land
is under cultivation. Lack of
adequate farm-to-market roads
and year-round water supply
limit further expansion.
Working with the engineers
are Peace Corps geologists who
have mapped about 7,500 square
miles. Volunteers have been in

I later saw advertised as "Land
of Yeti and Everest."
The day following graduation
I began training an average of
12 hours per day at George
Washington University in Washington,
D. C. About half the
time was concentrated on language
study, fhe other half in
world affairs, American studies,
and Nepal area studies: The
quality of the training program,
though shoddy in isolated areas,
was surprisingly high, particularly
in language training: The
entire grueling process was made
more pleasant than it would
otherwise have been by the
strong incentive to Tearn and the
usually boundless enthusiasm of
my fellow trainees, most of
whom were college graduates.
After two months we graduated,

when I was asked to give a
commencement address - in
Nepali! This somehow made the

town or barrio life. Often a Volunteer
has his individual outside
effort, such as starting vegetable
gardens or joining together for
educational campaigns to promote
such things as new kinds
of rice cultivation. Others teach
at night. During their summer
vacation. one group of Volunteers
on Negros island established
"Camp Brotherhood"
which was attended by more
than 600 Filipino youngsters.
There have been problems..
The actual job of an "educational
aide" was ill-defined. Ingenuity
was required of the Volunteersin
finding their place in
the school and community. This
took time. Slowly they gained
confidence and more duties.

Philippine Volunteers
Raising Rural Standards
Name Mr. Mrs. Miss Date _
Address to which infor-mation
should be sent: _
The Peace Corps' biggest
single project is in the Philippines
- some 625 Volunteers
strong, and still growing. It is
an impact project which calls
for enough Volunteers to make
a basic difference in an important
national goal - in this case
raising the quality of .the Philippine
educational system; especially
among poorer people in
the rural areas.
Volunteers are working at
. 533 rural elementary s~hools.
Others are at high schools, normal
schools and colleges, Most
help with English instruction,
but large numbers are also
teaching science, mathematics
and other subjects. One special
group of 22 Volunteers is working
in community development
on the vast southern island of
Mindanao.
But teaching at the school is
only part of the average Volunteer's
life. Perhaps more than
in any other country, the Volunteers
in the Philippines live
How Do You Join
The Peace Corps?
1. Fill out the applica~
tion Questionnaire. You
can get one from ,your
liaison officer on campus,
from your post office or
by mailing the coupon in
this paper.
2. Next, take the noncompetitive
placement test
on campus or at a nearby
Civil Service Office. Ask
your liaison officer or
write the Peace Corps for
a full list of addresses and
the date of the next exam.
3. Y.our application
data, your test and your
references help to determine
the kind of assignment
for which you are
best qualified. If your
training or experience
match that of a request
from abroad, you may receive
an invitation to training.
You may accept, decline,
or state a preference
for another assignment.
all in the same building, depending
on the time of day.
My first class begins at 6:30
a.m. in an unheated room decorated
with four unfinished brick
walls and several rows of roughly-
hewn wooden benches. The
temperature is about 40 degrees
at that hour, and the shivering
students sit there and suffer,
though I have _the prerogative
of pacing up and down to keep
warm. Nevertheless, a brave
handful continues to show up
(total enroliment of the· college
is 45). The air is comfortably
warm by the time the high
school opens at 10: 30. The
younger ones seldom wear shoes,
but the older students, more
often out of deferen'ce to fashion
than to fear of hookworm,
usually wear them.
The educational system is a
third-hand version (inherited
from India) of the English system.
A syllabus is rigidly adhered
to, and emphasis lies in
the rote memory of everything.
Students are unusually polite, always
arising when the teacher
walks into the room. Nepal is
a Hindu state (though many are'
Buddhist), and reverence for
learning and the learned man IS
traditional.
How We Live
Four of us, all teaching, live
in a Nepali house in the middle
of town. VVestern gadgets such
as cameras, shortcwave radios,
and even pressurized cans of
shaving cream attract 'the studied
fascination of our landlord
as if he were a little boy. J have
a room to myself and a straw .
mat to cover the mud floor. Diet
consists largely of rice, some
vegetables, fruit, and meat (goat,
water- buffalo, and chicken)
about twice a week. The landlord's
son, one of my college
students, lives upstairs and facilitates
translation when we get
stuck. He speaks English fairly
well since all classes above the
high-school level are conducted'
in English. He is principal of
an elementary'school on the side
which consists primarily of a
long open porch which serves as
a classroom. During school
hours a strip of cloth closes the
open side towards the street.
(continued from page 1)
Classroom training was not
enough, and we soon found ourselves
being flown to Denver,
where we departed by bus for
the Colorado Outward Bound
School, located three miles from
the ghost town of Marble, Colo.,
(population of five, according to
a recent census). For a month
the day began with an icy dip
in a mountain stream at six in
the morning, and the rest of the
time was filled with hiking,
climbing, camping and building
bridges. Somehow, I survived.
Two days after home leave we
were in Delhi, but because of
the monsoon storms we were
stranded there for a week before
we could get into Kathmandu,
Nepal's capital and the
only city in the country with
a concrete runway.
40 Degree Classroom
After two weeks of' orientation
and' language training, we
departed for our posts. I went
to Bhadgaon, only eight miles
from Kathmandu' (forty minutes
by jeep) to teach English
at the college and high school,
Jor two short years and who
believe that they can learn as
well as teach, are the people who
should volunteer. Starry-eyed
idealists aren't needed.
You know how I felt the first
few months away from home. I
was miserable. Now I have learned
to see much more. I have
learned that all people have the
same basic wants and desires.
I have learned much more than
I have been able to teach, but
I have been giving Ghanaians a
better picture of America, which
is our main aim. Knowledge
and understanding .can erase
fear and prejudice. Our small
efforts together have made a
gopd impression here in Ghana.
VVhat is the reward? How
can you tell of the warmth and
happiness that fills you when a
little boy with huge brown eyes
looks up at you and says, "Miss
Schmidt, Sir, you're wonderful."
Basic Requirements

for the Peace Corps are
simple.
]. The minimum age is

Sui Ross Biology Grad
Describes Ghana Work
(Editor's note: Margot
Schmidt, a biology graduate
at SuI Ross State College in
Alpine, Tex., is now teaching
biology in Ghana. In the following
letter she describes
her attitudes about her
work.)
My life ho/e must seem like
a roller-coaster, high in spirits
one minute, the next minute the
lowest low. Perhaps you have
been able to read between the
lines.
I think you realize that training
at Berkeley was no holiday.
It was work, but it was interesting
work. The profs were the
best known authorities in the
field of African Studies, Ghana,
and Ghanaian education. Our
training was short, but I realize
now that I did learn a lot.
I certainly don't advise anyone
and everyone to join the
Peace Corps. But there isn't a
Peace Corps "type." Our Ghana
group ranges from teachers who
taught at home for year~_to nongraduates
with technical training.
VVe have sons and daughters
of ambassadors, Harvard
professors, farmers, druggists,
businessmen, etc. VVhat makes
us alike? It's the belief that we
can do something, even if that
something is very small. I say
that only people, young and old,
who want to give of themselves
