THREE PEACE CORPS
WORKERS RECRUIT
By Carol Thomas
Three Peace Corps workers
visited the WSSC campus for a
three-day period of recruiting
students to join the Peace Corps.
Their stay began Wednesday,
Jan. 12 and ended Friday, Jan.
14.
They visited selected classes to
which they were invited and
scheduled events for the entire
student body. They also operated
an information booth.
The team was introduced to
the student body and faculty at
a chapel program Wednesday
morning. Glennie Murphy, depu
ty director of college recruiting
for the Peace Corps, .spoke.
In his speech he commented
on questions students usually
ask — pay, types of people want
ed, training required, and the
worker’s future after service is
completed.
Miss Cathy Brown also talked
informally about her personal ex
periences and encounters as a
volunteer in the Philippines. She
indicated that a volunteer’s so
cial life does not cease over
seas. The rules governing social
life, she said, vary in different
countries. Most girls will take an
interest in this fact, she said.
A Peace Corps information cen
ter was set up in the Alumni
Hut. Students were invited to
come and discuss the organiza-

Groove Phi Groove Organized on Campus
This organization was corro-
borated on Oct. 12, 1962 by a ,
group of 14 men attending Mor
gan State College in Baltimore,
Md. who felt the need for trans
mitting the complacent tradi
tionalism of psuedo fraterniza
tion. This process was developed
by converging individual men
into a unified brotherhood, to
incorporate Groove Phi Groove
Social Fellowship.

Purpose of Groove Phi Groove
Groove Phi Groove is a social
organization in which men of
like attainment and of the same
standards, ideas and ideals, work
together through self-expression
to achieve and maintain stated
cardinal principles. These prin
ciples are scholarship, unity,
good character traits, and good
leadership.
The men of Groove Phi Groove
are one in aim and loyalty.
Groove Phi Groove feels that it
is a social organization having
certain qualities which distin
guish it from other fraternal
organizations on campuses, but
other organizations are first to
be given names and not names
out of which organization grows.
The name Groove Phi Groove
is a descriptive title used to de
note the warmness of atmos
phere and continuous relation
ship between members.
