"We are not out to sell people
on the Peace Corps. People must
want to be in the Peace Corps
before it will he effective," stated
Mickey Feltus, a recent Peace
Corps volunteer.
Mr. Feltus, along with two other
Peace Corps volunteers have visited
the USC campus this past week
distributing literature and inform
ing Carolina students about the
functions of the Peace Corps.
According to Mr. Feltus, the
purpose of the Peace Corps volun
teers is to explain the Peace Corps
program. "People don't fully
understand the Peace Corps and
often they have misleading ideas."
The Peace Corps also wishes to
encourage more Southerners to
participate in the program.
Mistaken Ideas
One of the most common mis
taken impressions about the Peace
Corps centers around the educa
tional requirements. Contrary to
popular belief, a volunteer does
not have to have a college degree.
"In fact, anyone who has had
two years of college may consider
himself well qualified for the
Peace Corps. There are many
volunteers with just high school

Subject: Thieves' Carnival
Message: Well, I just got the
word, the tickets have been printed
so I guess we have to go thru with
the show. All the costumes are
nearing completion, the set con
struction is well underway, so
kids, I guess we just have to go
thru with it. Now there's no rea
son to get excited or nervous.
Look at it this way. . . .
If you know your lines and
blocking what could possibly go
wrong??? Why. nothing . . . don't
be silly! And even if something
should happen to go wrong, why,
the only people seeing you are
your friends and professors, and
the head of the English depart
ment. and relatives, and the head
of the English department, and a
lot of promiine'nt townspeople, and
the head of the English depart
menit and so, therefore, there's ab
solutely nothing to be nervous
about the head of the English de
partmient seeing you! Ia there?

Another question usually asked t
)y college students concerns the t
anguage requirements. P r i o r I

nost projects the Peace Corps will

iecessary to satisfactorily perform

A native of Fairhope, Ala., Mr.
Feltus served two years in Ethi
)pia after volunteering for the
Peace Corps in July, 1962.
Having taught for one year in
A junior high school, the teacher
volunteer, resumed his teaching
:areer in Ethiopia. The primary
>bjective of the Ethiopian project!
was to instruct the native chil
Iren. Approximately 270 volun
Leers taught in Ethiopian secon
dary schools and some taught
in preparatory colleges.
Train Natives
The main purpose of the volun
Leer teaching was to train native
Ethiopian teachers. "The whole
idea of this project was to up
grade the teaching professions in
Ethiopia. The Peace Corps wanted
to force people to help them
selves," explained the volunteer.
Other Activities
Other activities performed by
the volunteers were in the field
of irrigation, sanitation, and home
economics. Some of the volunteers
in the Ethiopian groups worked in
hospitals and orphanages.
"Ethiopia was a big adjustment,
but not a difficult one. It just
exists and just becomes a part of
your life. You have to accept it
for what it is. You usually end up
enjoying it."
According to Mr. Feltus, thell
living conditions in Ethiopia vary.
However, there is adequate hous
ing. The natives usually live in
mud huts.
"Our living conditions were very
nice. We lived in old Italian apart
ment houses," said Mr. Feltus.
Manv Friends
While serving in Ethiopia, Mr.
Feltus made many friends among
the natives. Often the Peace Corps
volunteers were the first whites
that the Ethiopian children had
ever seen.
Mr. Feltus explained that when
the Peace Corps volunteers first
arrived at their Ethiopian desti
nation, they met some resentment
from the natives. The Communists
are the only group broadcasting

these accusations down. When the
people realized that we were here
to help them and not to take over
the country, there was a general
acceptance of the project."
Fmorable Emperor
Haile Sellassie, emperor of Ethi
opia, is quite favorable to the
Peace Corps. He inivited the volun
teers to his palace for champagne
and guided them on a royal tour
of the grounds.
The relationship between the
natives and the volunteers is de
scribed as "quite good," by the
Peace Corps volunteer. While Mr.
Feltus was teaching in Ethiopia,
one of the gifts presented to
him by his class was a native
shield and spear made by the stu
dents.
Selassie also gave certificates
and gold medals to many of the
teachers as tokens of apprecia
tion. When Mr. Feltus and two
of his co-teachers left Ethiopia to
return to the United States, over
2,000 people came down to the
train station to see them off.
Travel
"I visited in Kenya, Tangan
yika, Zanzibar, Uganda. Sudan,
and Egypt. I also toured all of
Europe at no expense except what
I made in the Peace Corps," ex
rlained Mr. Feltus.

Frank deFrank and Tim Bertetti
were the two other volunteers
helping to answer questions of
Carolina students this past week.
Mr. deFrank worked in the
Philippines. Mr. Bertetti was the
4 irst volunteer for the Peace
Corps. He proved so valuable in
Washington that the Corps kept
him there.
Help Other
The whole idea of the Peace
Corps is to help peopl( to help
themselves. according to Mr. Fel
tus. The Peace Curps helped in
stitute the National Student Serv
;ce in Ethiopia. Under this Serv
ice, each college student must
serve a year doing work in Ethi
opia similar to that of the Peace
Corps before getting a degree.
The Peace Corps goes into
countries only where they are re
quested. "The Peace Corps goes
in to help, not take over. Each
country must guarantee to have
native people willing to be trained
by the volunteers.
"This is two years of life you
just can't get anywhere else. It
helps you to understand and to
appre-iate things of your own
country and also of a foreign
country," summed up Mr. Feltus.
