This point was made by Dr.
Edward Schlffman. regional di¬
rector ol the Near East and South
Asian programs. y
Dr. Schlffman, speaking or
Peace Corps opportunities to a
group of about IS students Mon¬
day, cited an example of a broken
pump handle. \
"We grow up In the kind of en¬
vironment where, when a pump
handle breaks, we fix It" he said.
"These people In foreign coun¬
tries don't do this. When it breaks
they'll go back to carrying water
from a stream eight miles away.
The tradition of fixing things,
which is second nature to every
American, is an organizational
ability badly needed in these
place*."
Dr. Schlffman explained to stu¬
dents during a question-answer
period that Peace Corp trainees
undergo a 10 to 12 week (mining
period before going to a foreign
country.
"During that lime," he said,
"trainees undergo a four to five
week language study, n brush up

a program of physical hardening."
In answer to questions concern¬

ment. Dr. Schlffman said, "We
will give volunteers sufficient ed¬
ucation in a foreign language be¬
fore assignment to a particular
country. However, prior know¬
ledge of any foreign language Is
extremely helpful."
The Peace Corps director
stressed the fact that there was
really no health problem among
volunteers. "This Is because most

"There are Peace Corps doc¬

SOLITAIRE
You are dead row, Benjamin;
the fields you worked lie fallow
in the sun. Last year's corn
rattles in the winter wind,
and the pasture oaks relive
their yearly dying. By the barn,
the ice thickens in the trough,
and the cattle stray in the slogh
near where you died. Pinned beneath
the old tractor you plowed with,
torn by its lugs, you could not shout
or know when we dug you out.
My 75th winter
twill bring no celebration;
the ice cracks under my feet
like fishbones in the dry creeks
of summer. In my cabin
the light burns low, my son,
and soon I must sleep.

DESIGN
Can man see a purpose
For his being on this earth ?
When his requiem is played
Will he realize his worth ?
Life would be so futile
If man could never know
The reason for his present plight
And what his future goal.
But as we survey man's home-the earth,
There's evidenced a plan.
The order in the universe
Has not excluded man.
The omnipotent Designer
Knows the one and only gate.
That leads us to a clearer,
Brighter, arid unclouded fate.
