cerning age limit, salary, education,determination of destination and manyother such elementary questions. Tothese questions the only answers so fatare general. First, that the probable ageminimum will be around (wenty-one,making the volunteers sufficiently ma­ture both emotionally and politically.

As for salary there will probably belittle, if any. The most suggestedcourse is that traveling and living ex­penses will be paid with a salaryclose to that of a private in the army.The question of education is a majorproblem. The main stipulation at pres­ent is to have a college education alongwith a condensed course on the cus­toms, language, and problems of thenation to which a person is being sent.

Another major question is whethera person serving in the corps will beliable to draft into the armed services.The generally accepted view is thatwhile serving in the corps the draftwill not apply, but afterward anyonecan be drafted without reference topast duty to the Youth Peace Corps.The question of destination is deter­mined by which country would askfor help.

Also destination will depend a grelitdeal on need. If a person specializesin farming, no doubt he will be sentto a country which needs to improveits farming. Therefore personal prefer­ence will play a small role in thedetermination. Need 'will play a majorrole. These questions and many moreare to be answered as the idea appearsbefore Congress this year.

It is almost certain that this idealis­tic dream will be the reality of thefuture for the good of the people ofthe world.

The job the corps will do was sum­med up by President Kennedy whenhe said, "There is not enough moneyin all America to relieve the miseryof the undeveloped world in a giantand endless soup kitchen. But there isenough know-how and knowledgeablepeople to help these areas help them­selves."

to help foreign governments meet theirurgent needs for skilled manpower."

Most often President Kennedy is theman associated with the corps idea, butKennedy did not take up the corpsplan until during the campaign, and,because of the overwhelming reaction,began to back it vigorously. Variousrepresentatives to Congress have spon­sored bills for the study of such a plan,

'but this was as far as the idea gotuntil Senator Hubert Humphrey in­troduced a late bill in the 86th Sessionof Congress with the hope of passagein the next session.

Some sort of passage is almost as­sured this session since the president,has now become the main backer ofthe program. There are many questionswhich need to be answered concern­ing the idea before any concrete stepscan be taken. There are questions con-

Barbara Hornof, a student from Ger­many attending Austin High of EIPaso, tells about the differences be­tween the youngsters in East and WestGermany. The differences between thetwo groups of youths is that in WestGermany they are free and muchhappier.

There are two main groups of youngpeople in Germany. The first one isthe "Federal German Youth Rings,"whose intention is to make possiblea life for young people which will behealthy in social, moral, and culturalrespects and tend toward strengtheningdemocracy and furthering internationalunderstanding.

The second group, on the other hand,is "Ring of Political Youth," in whichyoung members of the political par·ties, and all youngsters interested inpolitics meet together without barriers,and concentrate on political education.Political education consists mainly oflearning how to· become and how tobe a good citizen.

These organizations are very goodand successful. East Germany has theseorganizations too, but they are com·pulsory and not voluntary. Right nowthe East German government strives toseparate the children from their fami­lies in order to be able to "infect"them with their communist propa·ganda. This separation is only possib'leby forcing the youth into one of thegroups. A youngster will not get agood job or an opportunity for a goodeducation unless he is in such a group.

The most important organization isthe so-called "Free German Youth."The good ideas of this organizationare spoiled by political propaganda.All ideas are political. The main ideaor purpose of this organization is toturn the children into Communists.Freedom comes only after obedience.All good ideas the youth organization~

may have are used for the bad purposesof a Communist government.

There are many items which go into a winning team or school,such as natural ability, training, and hard work, which take muchof the credit of a successful victory, be it in sports or grades. But thereare many items which also play a major role in victories that haveabstract meanings to different people and therefore are often ignored.School spirit, pride of accomplishment, tradition, and desire are onlya few of these items. Each plays an important part in the"jfarticipationof any game.

When a person has something to work for and win for ... when afootball player is tired from a hard game but still has the will anddesire to continue and work for a victory after being inspired by aschool's fight song- is what is t by school spirit and desire,a desire to put out a have for y school. In the past this desirehas often been lacking ~~al1um, but there is a change at Mc­Callum, a change of coaches lfId a chan~f attitudes. Thi~ changeis for the school and for you, the student body. There is much workwhich has been done and much work that is going to be done; for thisfeeling of pride in one's school and desire to win for a school doesnot happen overnight. The feeling inside a person, that what hedoes reflects in the end on the school itself, takes time to developand patiences to perceive. This does not just apply to althletics onthe athletic field but to every person which attends our school. Forthere is one thing that is needed by the students of McCallum, prideand devotion.

It does not matter what you do or play, be it anything from a majorsport to being a spectator. When the song of a school is sung is shouldpersonally effect each and everyone of us.

If it does not, we really do not have the school at heart. This prob­lem exists for many at McCallum, for there is no other answer forthe actions of many student during school pep rallies and the singingof our school song. These actions prove that many students don'thave the school where it is supposed to be-in a very secure place ofthe heart.

With the changes that are taking place throughout the frameworkof McCallum, from new coaches, to our parents forming a much need­ed Boosters Club, it is our job to do our part, whether we play asport, or take part in any school function. We should still give thosethat do our backing and instill in them and ourselves the true feelingof belonging to a school.

"This meeting has been called today to tell the future members ofJack's "Peace Corps" of a brand new development. Good old Jackhas decided to extend this program into our own depressed areas herein the United States. This move was made in accordance with the ad­ministrations policy of 'Aid to Everyone.'

We youngsters here realize that even in our own country there are.definite ethnic groups that tend to have been forgotten or ignoredby society. These groups live in utter ignorance of the world policies.Also, they often live in the midst of the worst possible conditions ofsanitation.

We have as our responsibility the ultimate care and responsibilty ofthese poor wretched creatures. Well, enough of that. We're sure youknow that. After all that's why you're here-to help. Surely it's notfor the money. Heh, heh!

So now that that's settled, here's your assignment. Now, nowdon't panic. Remember-help! '

These people you're to visit have definite ideas about religion,politics and business. Most ideas are against them, but still we musn'toffend. So for six months you will enter an intensive training program.You will study their language and customs. At first these will seemstrange to you. In fact they might even seem ridiculous. But-headsup. Remember-help.

Due to the close unit organization of this group you will have toassume their mode of dress. Getting use to it will entail an extrathree months period. During this time a beard will be grown tocomply with their socio-religious belief.

The best of luck to all. Just think in nine months you will descendon Greenwich Village and Venice, California. And remember thesepoor beatniks need the help of the Kennedy Peace Corps."

With summer just around thecorner, and with Barton Springsalready open, it's time for everyoneto start planning the one ensemblethey will be wearing almost con·stantly from now until September-their bathing suit.

Is there anything new in bathingsuits this year? Definitely yes! Newshapes, styles, colors, and fabrics.

This year there is a lot of neckinterest that heretofore has not ex·isted. Many of this spring's newbathing suits will show this neck·interest with wider straps to givea square neck line effect.

Once more this year the low, low,low back will be featured, and thetwo-piece bathing suits which werejust beginning to show last summerwill be more popular this year.

Another style innovation thissummer in swim suits will be skirtinterest with short, pleated skirtsor little boy shorts.

Colors this summer in bathingsuits 'will be in two distinct groups.Many of the new suits will be inpale, pale, soft pastels, 'while otherswill be in the "shock" catagory.

Perhaps the most exciting news ofall in bathing suits this spring isfabric!

Cotton will be seen extensivelyon the beaches for a change-andknits will be more popular thanever. What's more--a new fabrichas come out for swimming suitswith even more "cling-to" than knit.It's called Lycra-watch for it.

the novice will have to face somemanner of traffic. One of the moretypical street scenes starts wi th theinexperienced driver at a "Stop" sign.For some reason, the car is now in themiddle of the intersection, holding uptraffic in four directions.

"Should I back up?" asks the noviceshyly. The instructor smiles gently, andpolitely says, "I would sincerely ad­vise it." The accomplished driver inthe back seat begins to pray quietly.

The novice then proceeds to searchfor the ellusive reverse gear. By thetime he finds it," a procession hasformed, filling the lane in which heshould be. Seeing that retreat to therear 'would be futile (or even fatal),the novice is told to turn to the right.As he is too far out in the intersec­tion, the poor guy has a bit of diffi·culty in making a proper turn. Undis·mayed, the novice spins the wheel,and the car shakes and begins to twist(yes, twist) to the right.

A fourth victim enters the tranquil(?) scene in the person of the driver'of a sleek Cadillac. As the novicesqueezes by the Cadillac, the ownerlooks out of his window to discoverthat the front bumper of the studentdriver's car is slowly edging directlytoward his left side. At this point theowner of the Cadillac begins to turndeathly pale.

The accomplished driver begins topray in earnest.

After finishing the ride in the car,all are suitably shaken, except for ourhero who took it all in stride. '~I canhardly wait until I get my license!"declares the novice proudly, as theolder students decide to become con­firmed pedestrian~.

Driver Education Presents

Many Harrowing ExperiencesBy PATRICK WILLSON

One of the most interesting andoften most unusual courses offeredhere at McCallum is Driver Educa·tion, which is given during study hall.

Like most courses, this does haveits drawbacks, and like most subjects,its students are classified in differentmanners. When one takes this course,pe generally finds himself confrontedby three totally different charactertypes. Most students can be classifiedinto one of the first two groups. Thesethree groups are:

The Novice Driver: One 'who is gen­erally inexperienced with the car, andwho is still a bit confused on whichside of the road to drive.

The Accomplished Driver: One whois thoroughly at ease behind the wheel,and is probably just taking the coursefor the decrease in insurance premo'iums.

The Instructor: The teacher who canbe described as possessing bitten downfinger nails, bags under the eyes, ul·cers, and a Medal of Honor hangingaround his neck. This instructor mustbe either the bravest man in the worldor an ex·Marine (or both!).

As the novice tries to start the car.the instructor calmly and politely says,"Start the car in neutral." At this pointthe novice desperately tries to remem·ber where neutral is. Meanwhile theexperiencd driver either chuckles play·fully in the back seat, or begins topray.

After getting the car started, thenovice proceeds down a somewhatsparsely populated street. He drives atone of two speeds: 5 MPH or 70 MPH.

Eventually it becomes inevitable that

An interesting story lies behind the:asting of Vivien Leigh in the leading'ole. It seems that Selznik conductedIn international search for the female­ead. Over 1,400 candidates were con·,idered for the role.The search proved fruitless; however,

Knight Baseballers Get SplitBefore Fourth Place Finish

A few weeks ago the McCallumfootball team finished spring training.This is the thtee weeks set aside everyspring by the Interscholastic Leaguefor football practice. This practice hasbeen cut out in all Texas schools ex­cept Class AAAA. The issue ofwhether or not to. have spring train­ing has been up for vote several timesby the Texas High School Coaches As­sociation, but the AAAA spring train­ing has remained.

Joiner, Moden TeamsTops In 'Murals

Nine teams participated in the Boy'sIntramural Basketball Program thisyear. The nine teams played a round­robin schedule, and it was concludedby a championship playoff. Ted Mod­en's team won on the junior level,and Pat Joiner's team on the seniorlevel.

In the championship game, playedTuesday, March 21, Pat Joiner's teamdefeated George Nauert's team 44-29.Joiner's unbeaten championship 'teamconsisted of Jim Schlegel, GeorgeSchneider, Bobby Jackson, and CharlesMyers.

To decide second and third places,Richard Dolgener's team playedGeorge Nauert's team Tuesday, March28. Dolgener's team gained secondplace by defeating Nauert's team, 17­16.

The McCallum golf team broke thecourse record at the Brady InvitationalGolf Tournament Saturday, March 18;this was not good enough, however,to win the meet. The 71 turned in byAustin High's alternate, Randy Stohl,did the trick for the Maroons, as theybeat the Knights by twt>;;;i,wokes forthe team title. The old recordo@was a297 turned in by the 1959 Stephen F.Austin squad.

The McCallum team score was 296,

In order to create some 0plntOn onthe subject I would like to discusssome advantages and disadvantages.The one big disadvantage is that itinterferes with spring sports. That isthat boys participating in baseball,track, and other spring sports have totake out three weeks just to practicefootball. This inevitably leaves thembehind in the spring sports.

Then there is always the old argu­ment of injury. Due to the type ofcontact game football is, a boy js· moreprone to receive an injury that wouldkeep him out of sports for the re­mainder of the spring.

There are a couple of advan­tages to be brought out, also. The firstbeing that a coach is able to evaluatethe material he has for the comin~

year and make decisions as to who isgoing to play where.

Also a team under AAAA Interscho­lastic League rules may start practicingtwo weeks before the first game afterthe boys have had about six monthslay-off from football; this is a rela­tively short time to get ready for thefirst game. The spring training sessiongives the coaches a chance to teachthe boys fundamental plays that willhelp them get ahead in the early fall.

This issue of spring training willprobably come to a vote again. Thequestion is: will spring sports behampered by spring football practicein 1962?
