The team was headed by Miss Elizabeth Johnston, a special as sistant to Sargent Shriver, Direc tor of the Corps. Miss Johnston is a graduate of Columbia Col lege and has completed a year of graduate study in political science at USC. She was assisted by Su zanne and Harrison Bresee, former voluteers in Nigeria; and Burton Swanson, a volunteer who served in Cyprus. An information booth was set up outside the Russell House where students obtained pamph lets, and brochures about the Corps. Interested students were also given questionnaires to fill out and bring to placement tests which were given twice daily in the Russell House. The purpose of the tests is to determine if an ap plicant has the aptitude to acquire the skills that will be necessary for Peace Corps work.

F .Campusr 1961, Mr. Bresee was transferred to Nigeria, where he has spent the past twenty months. As a for estry officer in Nigeria, Mr. Bre- - see was placed in charge of 11 million square miles of territory. Mr. Bresee plans to return to Nigeria as an employee of the Nigerian government. Mr. Bresee commented, "The pay that I will receive when I re- I turn will be about the same as it was with the Peace Corps. I am certainly not returning to try tol get rich. My chief reason for re turning is that I feel that there is still a great deal that I can do to help the Nigerian peoples." While in Nigeria, Mrs. Bresee taught secondary algebra and trigonometry. She found that the Nigerians were very interested in Americans and that the question most frequently asked concerned the integration problem in the United States. "Many persons get the wrong impression of the Corps, espe cially on the monetary side," Miss Johnston said. "The Peace Corps is certainly no place for one to go in hopes of making a fortune."
