ASSEMBLYMAN WILLIE BROWN, JR., S.F.— “Young people need to grasp all the tools they can, and education is a useful one in the uphill struggle.” MRS. ALDOUS HUXLEY, author’s widow on_book promotional tour of Calif—‘Either we humans are going to be marvelous or we're going to be extinct. I think it’s much more fun to be marvelous.” LOU SMITH, L.A. creator of Watts “Operation Bootstrap”, black self-help corp., on refusing government aid— “We are afraid of what too much money too soon could do. When the bread starts coming in and the cats start hustling, there’s the chance of blowing the whole thing.” MORRIS RABINOWITCH, S.F. financial counselor — “Crushing debts are no longer the exclusive burden of the poor and middle-income class. It’s a case of yearnings exceeding earnings.” Returned Volunteers And Then There Were 25,000 WASHINGTON, — D.C:—The Peace Corps reached a milestone in its short seven-year history late in 1968 when the 25,000th Volunteer completed service and returned to the United States. There are now twice as many former Volunteers as Volunteers currently overseas, reports Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn. What happens when they come home? Statistics compiled by the Peace Corps indicate that about half of the former Volunteers change career plans after two years overseas, a partial explanation for the large percentage (about 38%) who currently are continuing — their education, Vaughn says. Not counting those in school, more than one in every three returned Volunteers immediately become — teachers—double — the number who had intended to teach prior to joining the Peace Corps. GHETTO SCHOOLS Vaughn says one obvious reason for the increased demand by U.S. school systems for former Peace Corps Volunteers is the shortage of qualified teachers, particularly of those willing to teach in ghetto schools. “But another reason is the recognition ‘by school officials that the Peace Corps experience provides Volunteer teachers with an approach, a way of going about things. that is a vital. first step to teaching.” The Philadelphia school system, for instance, offered-contracts to 175 Volunteers sight unseen to teach in inner-city schools there. At the end of the last school year. Robert W. Blackburn, architect of the unprecedented recruitment effort, testified before a House of Representatives committee that “we regard the Volunteers as the single best source of top-flight educators available to us anywhere.” New York State has established an Office of Peace Corps Affairs designed specifically to attract former Volunteers into its school system. THE PROFESSIONS For the large number of_ returned Volunteers intent upon basing careers around = international concerns, the State Depart* ment and the government agencies associated with it have special appeal.

A beer party also is a wonderful and simple way to raise funds for club projects or charity, the State Department and with the United States Information Agency. About 200 returned Volunteers currently work with the Agency for International Development. The Peace Corps, which grants employment priority to returned Volunteers, has hired about 400 former Volunteers and they comprise about 40 per cent of the agency's total administrative personnel. Nine are country directors. Most of the remaining third of Volunteers currently employed enter business or the professions. A large number, more than 12 per cent, work for international or non-profit organizations such as CARE and the United Nations. The financial world. particularly those firms with international ties. has attracted a substantial number of returned Volunteers. The First National City Bank of New York has hired 15 former Volunteers and 10° others currently work for Bankers’ Trust Company. “While their formal ties with the Peace Corps end with their return home, former Volunteers are demonstrating that commitment to service —so intrinsically a part of the Peace Corps— doesn't begin and end at the water's edge,” says Vaughn.
