Peace Corps
Mr. Samuel Gough, Public Af
fairs Officer of the Peace Corps,
was a recent visitor to the FSTC
campus. Mr. Gough, a graduate of
Howard University, spoke briefly
at the regular chapel hour, met
with prospective applicants for the
Peace Corps and showed moving
pictures of the work now being
done by the Peace Corps.
The VOICE wishes to present
here a message left to our readers
by Mr. Gough;
The Peace Corps offers you an
invaluable opportunity to serve not
only yourselves, but rather in a
larger sense it offers you a chance
to serve your country. As Robert
Sargent Shriver, Director of the
Peace Corps, stated, “The Peace
Corps is people who want to give,
people who are not afraid of chal
lenge, people with tough hides and
warm hearts”.
You are a part of a new gener
ation — a generation which is
living through a Berlin Crisis, spec
tacular accomplishments in space
flight, and continued attempts to
gain equal rights for aU United
States citizens. We may be losing
prestige in many foreign countries
because of internal strife. But
there are millions of people
throughout the world who will still
believe what they see — Americans
helping Tanganj^ans build roads,
helping Colombians improve health
standards, helping Indians produce
food.
Here is an opportunity for
knowledge and experience which
is not restricted by race, creed or
color. Here is a field of equal
opportunity for all qualified United
States Citizens.
However, Peace Corps service
is not a primrose path on which
one is led by the hand. As Ralph
Waldo Emerson once said, “This
world belongs to the energetic.”
Every volunteer must dedicate
himself to the service of others
and he must have the conviction,
perseverance and stamina to per
form that service in the face of
hardship and frustration. He must
be intelligent enough to meet the
challenges of services abroad,
healthy enough to adapt to new
surroundings, and personable
enough to establish good relation
ships with his fellow workers over
seas. The basic considerations are
character, skill, common sense,
health and an ability to meet situ
ations with both enthusiasm and
tact.
Pro.iects are constantly develop
ing for which your skills are need
ed. The Peace Corps needs: engi
neers, community development
workers, plumbers, masons, car
penters, heavy equipment oper
ators, licensed practical nurses,
social workers, social welfare wor
kers, dentists, dental hygienists
and assistants, laboratory techni
cians, pharmacists, x-ray tech
nicians, sanitarians, vocational,
technical, mathematics, science,
and teachers for a variety of other
subjects.
The basic requirements are that
you be a United States citizen,
and at least 18 years of age. If
married, both you and your wife
must serve on the same pro.iect
provided you have no dependent
children. If you have any further
questions see Dr. C. C. Thonias of
the faculty of FSTC, or write to
Peace Corps, Washington 25, D. C.

Would you like to be an editor?
Being an editor is no picnic.
If we print jokes, people say we
are silly.
If we don’t, they say we are too
serious.
If we reprint things from other
papers.
We are too lazy to write them
ourselves.
If we don’t, we are too fond of our
own stuff.
If we inadvertently fail to report
club meetings.
It it because we are jealous.
If we do, we are playing favorites.
And now, likely as not, someone
will say
We swiped this from another
paper.
Well. ... we did.

A Release from Office of The
Registrar.
Applications for the Selective
Service College Qualification Test
to be given on APRIL 18 are now
available to college students at the
Selective Service local boards
throughout North Carolina. The
test will be given at more than
500 colleges in all 50 states, Puerto
Rico, and the Canal Zone.
Scores made on the test wiU
provide local boards with evidence
of aptitude for continued under
graduate and graduate study. The
scores will not of themselves de
termine eligibility for deferment,
but are considered with other in
formation by the boards in de
termining whether to defer indi
vidual registrants for futher study.
Applicants for the test must be
postmarked no later than mid
night, Thursday, MARCH 28. Eli
gible students may also obtain in
formation about the test from any
local board.
The test, used since 1951 to aid
local boards in determining ques
tions of student deferment, is ad
ministered by Science Research
Associate, McHenry, Illinois.
To be eligible to take the test,
the applicant must be satisfactorily
pursuing a fuU-time college course,
undergraduate or graduate, lead
ing to a degree. He need not be a
student of a four-year college, but
his entire course of study must be
satisfactory for transfer of credits
to a degree-granting institution.
The applicant must be a Selective
Service registrant who intends to
seek deferment as a student. He
can take the test only once.
The State Director, Colonel
Thomas H. Upton, pointed out a
test score in the file will give the
local board an additional piece of
important information to use in
determining whether a registrant
is eligible for a student deferment.
National Library Week will be
celebrated throughout the nation
the week of April 21-27. Something
new is planned for our program at
F. S. T. C. this year according to
Mrs. N. R. Smith, Librarian. In
addition to unveiling a paperback
collection geared to student favor
ites, an invitation is being extended
to all interested students who will
prepare an essay on the theme
“Reading — Our Fifth Freedom —
Enjoy It!”
The essay is to contain not more
than five hundred words since
length will not be a prime factor
in judging its quality. All entries
presented to Mrs. Smith by April
10, 1963 will be carefully judged
by a committee of English teach
ers and the three best essayists will
be awarded valuable prizes. The
very best essay wUl be read as a
part of our chapel program on
April 24; this could prove to be
just the beginning of honors for
excellent writing on this subject.
More detailed instructions will be
given on bulletin boards, through
English classes and by the Library
Committee.
Start thinking seriously now
about the wonderful freedom that
we all enjoy in being able to read
WHEN, WHERE and WHAT we
like!

Tales Out
Of School
In a large family, the littlest
boy was called “Little Man.” After
his first day of school, someone
asked him if he had learned any
thing.
“Yep,” he said.
“What was it?”
“I learned my name was John.”
Endeavoring to teach her
charges to think, a third-grade
teacher was asking tricky ques
tions. “Johnny,” she said, “give
me an example of ‘nothing’.”
Unhesitatingly, Johnny answered,
“Nothing is a balloon with its
skin off.”
At the close of each school year,
a fifth-grade teacher had her pic
ture taken with her class.
One day she saw a student going
through a stack of these old pic
tures.
“Are you looking for some of
your friends?” she asked.
“No,,” the student answered,
“I’m just trying to see which of
your classes aged you the most.
The little kindergartener came
home and proudly told her par
ents the class had learned Irving
Berlin’s beautiful “God Bless
America.” Then she proceeded to
sing, in her clear little voice:
“God bless America, land that I
love; stand beside her, and guide
her, through the night with a light
from a bulb.”
During a creative-writing class
the teacher warned her students
against ending sentences with pre
positions.
A pupil then volunteered, “My
little sister produced a classic last
night. She asked my mother to
bring a book to read to her, specifi
cally mentioning one book she did
NOT want. Absent-mindedly, Moth
er brought up that one, and Sis
said, ‘What did you bring that
book I didn’t want to be read to
out of up for?’ ”
The class was studying Africa
and when the teacher asked how
ivory is used, one small boy ex
citedly held up his hand. “Most
ivory,” he said, “is used for soap.”
A seven-year old on a TV pro
gram was asked if he had any
sisters or brothers. “No,” he said,
“You see, I’m single.”
The judges of a school essay con
test felt one nine-year-old’s com
position on the subject of “Man
ners” had special merit and award
ed him first prize. Here it is in
full: “I have good manners. I say
good night and good morning and
hello and good-by, and when I see
dead things lying around the house
I bury them.”
A youngster came home after his
first day at school and proudly an
nounced he had learned to write,
backing up his statement with a
gold star he had won for penman
ship. “Goodness, darling,” beam
ed his mother, “and on your first
day. What were you writing?” The
youngster said smugly, “Ones.”
The small boy interrupted his
father, who was reading the eve
ning paper; “Pop, the boy said,
“I’m supposed to tell you there’s
going to be a small P.T.A. meeting
tomorrow night.”
“Well, if it’s just a small one,
do I have to go?” the father de
manded.
“Oh, yes,” his son replied, “It’s
just you, me, and the principal.”
Modern father to teenage son;
“Man, it’s really cool outside.
Get with it and dig that crazy
snow.”
During a class discussion on
taxes, the lecturer asked Bobby to
give an example of indirect taxes.
“The dog tax,” he replied.
“Why is that an indirect tax?”
“Because,” answered Bobby,
“The dog doesn’t pay it.”
Laugh and the world laugh with
you, if they are tuned to the same
channel.
If you hoot with the owls at
night, you can’t soar with the
eagles in the morning.
