War Poses A Dilemma For Peace Corps
-

Dy WALTER GRANT
WASHINGTON (CPS) The
Peace Corps, once the Mecca of
many student idealists, is on the
threshold of what could be the
most crucial period in its seven-yea- r
history.
Few will deny that the Peace
Corps has been one of the most
successful and popular of the New
Frontier programs initiated during the Kennedy Administration.
But the Peace Corps now faces
many new and delicate prob ems,
most of them a direct result of
the war in Vietnam.
The tactfulness with which
these problems are solved within
the next few years may well determine whether or not the Peace
Corps can survive on a large

scale, and if it can, how effec
tive it will be in accomplishing

its original mission.
Peace Corps officials who in
the past have had little trouble
convincing young people to give
up two years of their life to work
in an underdeveloped country
now find themselves on the defensive for the first time. The
major problem is the Peace Corps'
close association with the federal
government at a time when the
government is unpopular among
young people.
Peace Corps officials, includDirector
Jack
Agency
ing
Vaughn, are not ready to admit
the Corps has problems. But some
g
other
government
officials have confirmed privately
high-rankin-

that the Corps may be in trouble.

Recruiting figures alone indicate the Peace Corps has less appeal now than it had a year ago.
In November, 19G6, the Peace
Corps received 7,097 applications
from college seniors. Last November, applications were filed by
only 3,768 seniors, nearly a 50
percent reduction.
Overall, the Peace Corps received 9,661 applications last November, compared with 12,411 in
November of 1966. Recruiting also
was down in December, with
the Corps receiving 7,095 applications last December, compared
with 8,288 in 1966.
Peace Corps officials, however, claim these figures should
not be interpreted as meaning

Do Volunteers Really Have It?
(CPS) -President Hubert
Humphrey visited Africa early
this year, a group of Peace Corps
volunteers in Liberia wanted to
meet with him to discuss their
sentiments against the war in
Vietnam.
The volunteers were told by
a top Peace Corps official in
Liberia that any comment by
them either public or private
on Vietnam in the presence of
the Vice President would result
in their immediate termination
from the Peace Corps.
Their story, made public by
a letter to the editor in a recent
issue of the "New Republic," is
one example of why many students today are hesitating to become part of a program which
for the past seven years has drawn

American press.

One volunteer in Chile, Bruce

During the current academic
year, we will have our major

Since most Peace Corps

vol-

unteers come directly from the
campus, the Corps' recruiting figures are based on the academic
year. So far, applications this
year are running about 4,000 behind last year. "But with our major recruiting drive still ahead of
us, we expect to at least equal
last year's figures," Mr. Vaughn
says.

Free Speech In The Corps

When

the Corps is losing its appeal
to students. "The decrease is attributable to the style of recruiting in the fall of 1906 compared
to that in 1967," one official
1966, we put
explained.
on a major recruitingdrive which
hit its peak in November. In

teers consider in advance how
their actions or statements will
affect their host country and their
own effectiveness in working with
all of the local people."

Mr. Vaughn quickly discounts
any suggestion that the CIA could
easily infiltrate the Peace Corps,
since both agencies are under
the same government. "That suggestion is completely ridiculous,"
he said. "The Peace Corps has
always taken pride in its independence from the other agencies of the government."

Despite the new questions
which students must consider
before joining the Peace Corps,'
Mr. Vaughn says the Corps central mission has not changed
since it was formed in 1961.
"We are involved in a
ment

move-

that we feel is moving

toward peace. This has not
changed because of the war. We
are striving for peace, and all'
we can do is offer young people
the opportunity to serve in this
capacity as individuals," he said.

Despite efforts by Corps officials to convince the public that
it is not losing its appeal, officials admit the Corps is more
controversial on the campus today than at any other time in
its history.
The main reason for this, Mr.
Vaughn said, "is a feeling that
we are an official part of the
Establishment."

One

govern-

ment official explained, "Before
the United States became deeply
involved in Vietnam, young people did not mind so much being
associated with the government,
but now they do."
However, Mr. Vaughn says

the expanding group of student
radicals who want to be completely disassociated with the
government is not affecting the
Peace Corps. "We don't in any
sense, or never have, tried to
tailor a message for th activist.
Our message is more to the concerned, and the concerned can be
of almost any political stripe,"
he said in an interview.
But Mr. Vaughn admits Peace
Corps recruiting on campuses is
more difficult now than it was
several years ago. "Most campuses are boiling," he said.
"There is more noise and more

turmoil, which makes it much
harder for us to get our message
through." A few years ago it was
easy for a recruiter to talk with
students, he said. "But now
there's a lot of rivalry, and it's
harder to get that conversation
for a half hour."
Although the Peace Corps is
associated with the "Establishment," there have been no problems between recruiters and student radicals, Mr. Vaughn said.
"Words have been exchanged on
occasion, but nothing to consider
a confrontation."
The major problem for Corps

recruiters comes when a college or
university gives them space in
their placement office rather than
in a prominent open area on campus, such as in the Student Union Building, Mr. Vaughn said.
"We don't seek respectability. All
we seek is a chance to talk,
and if nobody knows where you
are, your exposure is so limited
you don't have a chance to talk."
When Mr. Vaughn talks about
the present status of the Peace.
Corps, he emphasizes that the'
total number of volunteers overseas
is
now about 15,000
higher than ever before, and the
Corps is expanding at the rate
of about eight new countries a
year.
Whether this expansion can
continue or not, however, is uncertain, "inthe past," Mr. Vaughn admits, "the only thing holding us back has been the lack
of enough candidates to serve as
volunteers." Since the Corps now
must appeal to young people who
as a group are becoming more
and more
this
problem may be just beginning.

Is Another Selma Needed
To Convince Us?
Constructive methods to dramatize the conditions of the nation's
poor have been both haphazard and futile in recent months. Additional
funds for Johnson's War on Poverty have been discouraged by extravagant military costs, as the death of the rat control bill illustrates so
well. Representatives of the poor are virtually landlubbers in a sea of
overwhelming vetos.
However some landlubbers are setting out to sea and heading straight
for the tempest. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who has few illusions
about persuading Congress to action, hopes to appeal to the conscience
of the nation this spring. His appeal will be in the form of a mass
march on Washington, D.C. where he will lead his army of the nation's
poor. Once in Washington this army will build a settlement of shanties
among the cherry blossoms to point up the plight of the needy. These
shanties will "house the troops of hopeless and embittered poor."
"We'll build our shanties literally broken-dowshanties to dramay
tize the
conditions of the way millions of people have to
live," Dr. King said.
Planned marches on the capital have proven their strength before.
The ability to get people from all over the nation to congregate in
one place proves the power of such demonstrations. But often demonstrations end there. No legislation is passed. People go home tired, and
