PEACE CORPS
CUTS THE RED TAPE
What it means is this: by the time your interview with
(he Pea'ce Corps/VISTA recruiter-placement officer is
over, you'll know whether the Peace Corps can use you, .
what specific job assignment is available that fits your
background and skill, where it is, what you'd be doing,
and when you'd start. And the decision would be made
then and there (subject to your references checking out)
— not after three to five months ol red tape and paper
shuffling in Washington.
•Pre-slotting* is being tried on an experimental basis
for Peace Corps programs in twelve Latin-American
countries only. If it works (and it has worked for
VISTA), it will be expanded to 5' other countries. Mean-
■ while, if you're interested in one of these other countries,
you can still apply in the regular way (you'll know
within six to eight weeks whether you've been accepted,

Mood of discontent challenges
Fong in run for secretary post
By Janet Morris
Collegian Managing Editor
Assemblywoman March Fong
(D-Oakland) said at a press conference in Fresno Friday that her
top priority as.secretary of stale
wtll be' to make voter registration easier for people and lo try
to motivate people to vote.
On a campaign tour of the state,
the candidate said she could sense
a mood of disillusionment and
discontent 'which'can be attributed to a general disillusionment
with government as the rcsult.of
Watergate,   Nixon's   resignation
•Slow voter registration reflects the fact that people are a
bit turned off by politics," she
said, and by restoring the people's confidence In government ■
and making voter registration
more  convenient,   voter  turnout

•Under the present system—
with no master file-It's possible
for a person to register and vote
in each of the 58 counties,* she
CANDIDATE FONG
would have included the voting
records and backgrounds of all
state candidates In the sample
ballot package sent to voters,
but tbe bill failed.
"Voters ought to know more
than they do about candidates'
records,* she said. 'And including information like this In the
sample ballot package can be done
at very little cost.*
Fang's opponent In the November election. Republican Brians.
Van Camp, advocates making tbe
secretary of state post nonpartisan and appointive.
Fong said she wouldn't take is-
sure with the Idea providing the
office of SUte attorney general
and state controller were also
nonpartisan and appointive.
She aald Governor Reagan also
suggested such f. change, but she
thought lt was "a very politically
significant sign on his part* because at the time he suggested
lt tbe office of secretary of state
was not held by a Republican.
•Now, I thought that struck at
the very heart of being political,*
she said.
She said a person who enforces
laws objectively should be a nonpartisan officer of the state.
Fong said the Jokes about pay
lollets no longer bother her. Her-
bill to ban pay toilets In public
buildings has been passed by the
legislature but has not yet been
signed by the governor, and she
Is perhaps roost well-known for
her *ban pay toilets* march on
the state capltol a few years ago.
At first they did bother her,
she said, 'because so much light
was made of a very Important
piece of legislation. But since the
start of my statewide campaign,
I've found that the Jokes aren't
really Jokes.
*H was an issue which dealt
with one of the dally aggravations
that people had to co through and
the government wasn't doing anything about it.
•The public views me as a
person who Is responsive to the
small but important Issues that
citizens are concerned,with,* she
said.
