"The Peace Corps has been good. It's going to get a
lot better," said Dr. Stephen Dachi, former member of
the dental faculty at UK and now director of the Peace
Corps in Venezuela.
. Looking tan and fit from Venezuelan sunshine, Dr.
Dachi said the Peace Corps has changed since it was
established in 19G1. "The Peace Corps was born on an
innocent wave of idealism," he said.
"We tliought we could cure everything just because
we wanted to. Now we've stepped back and taken a
good, hard look."
New Trend
The hard look, he said, revealed that good intentions
are not enough to solve the many problems in underdeveloped countries.
"We've learned that technical skills are also required,"
he said. "There is a trend now toward attracting more
technically trained people and toward more specific

programs."
Dr. Dachi's most recent stay on campus was brief.
He arrived in Lexington Thursday and left Sunday.

His purpose in coming here, he explained, was to
stimulate recruiting efforts for the Peace Corps.
Less Optimistic
American college students, he said, are "less optimistic and more involved than ever before." This
involvement can take many forms. One constructive
way to be involved, he feels, is to join the Peace Corps

"But the corps is very important when you talk
about the individuals affected. When 20 farmers liave
been taught to sell their produce, produce they've
never been able to sell before it's very important."
Fine Things
"I think we've done sofne fine things," he said.
"Let's face it, any American in a foreign land is a representative of America. Those wlio have come in contact

The pay is not high, ranging from about $25 a month
to $180 a month, depending on a country's estimated
cost of living in which the Peace Corps volunteer is
working. Money, he explained, is not the main attraction in the Peace Corps.

abroad."

Valuable Experience
What is valuable, he said, is the experience. "It
amounts to having 20 years worth of education and life
crammed into two years."
He said he believes the Peace Corps will continue
to be primarily a volunteer organization, attracting
people interested in new experiences and in helping

While there are 12,000 Peace Corps volunteers in 59
countries, Dr. Dachi believes America needs to look at
its own internal problems.
"And we are doing that now," he said. "There is
less outward looking in this country than before. Americans are more involved in their domestic problems."
"This inward looking trend is good," he said. "But
we don't want to shut ourselves off from the rest of the

JANE BROWN
Kernel Staff Writer
At an informal Sunday afternoon meeting of persons interested
in Free University, it was announced that the organization will
continue to sponsor courses over the summer.
Spud Thomas, founder of Free U., said that so far as he knew,
10 courses would be offered, and if anybody else were interested
in sponsoring a group there would be more.
To provide for a larger and more stable communications system
between the students and Free U, a tentative organizational structure was also set up.
Paul Werthiemer, successor to Thomas, outlined the purposes
and projected plans of three interdependant groups of people responsible for the future of Free U.
One group, manned tentatively by sophomore Libby Ferron and
Bob Ashford, will be concerned mainly with publicity.
This publicity, according to Wertheiiner, will involve publishing
a catalogue of courses offered as well as distributing information
to "further the concept of Free U" in the University as well as the
community and state.
The group concerned with money, ("they didn't like the name
Finances") will be primarily in charge of collecting he small
donation requested of each Free U student.
They will serve as a central committee where any money problems
can be handled.

Don McLean and Steppenwolf
two different singing styles
with much the same things to
say in their songs.
Don McLean led off this year's
Little Kentucky Derby Concert
with some folk music and humor
all his own. Most of the songs
he did were his own work, and
they were good. He did some
fine playing on his guitar and
his banjo.
Steppenwolf began with one
of their older songs, "Sookie
Sookie," and it looked like it
would be a good concert. Kay
told the light man to light the
whole stage, to get the whole
group in the light. "There's no
stars here," he told the audience.
Steppenwolf did their songs
well, but it seemed as if they
couldn't really get into feeling
their own music. "Monster" was
good in sound, Kay was great
on lead guitar, and the organ
by Coldie Mcjohn was good.
There seemed, however, to be
some sort of barrier between the

the music. It wasn't a physical
barrier, but more a general atmosphere.
The only time when everyone
was setting into it, including
Steppenwolf, was right at the

last, during "The rusher" and
"Born to Be Wild." Probably
nothing could have stopped it
on these two songs.
Near the end of the concert,
during and after the group had
done one of their newer numbers, "More Of A Man," which
cuts down people who use guns,
some of the audience began to
move to the front of the Coliseum and sit in front of the stage.
Maybe the police probably realized that there was nothing
that could be done at this point;
Then came "The Pusher," followed by "Born To Be Wild."
The people dug it. The spontaneous move of the crowd to
the front, people sitting in front
of the stage, grooving on the
music, and the music itself made
the last part of the concert the

best.
It was too bad that it didn't
happen sooner, though. With the
people up front, digging the music, Steppenwolf would have been
less
and would have
given the people a better show.
As it was, too many people were
static, just sitting in their chairs,
not really getting into the music
that much, sitting there as if
they were listening to a speech
rather than rock music.
If people want a good time
at a rock concert here, there
should be some changes made.
The major thing is that there
should be no chairs on the floor.
Of course, this would mean that
people couldn't come dressed up
in suits and ties, and long, nice
dresses, as many did at Steppenwolf. But people would be a lot
more comfortable sitting on the
floor and would be able to really
get it on.
If someone wanted to sit in
a chair, they'd have to sit in the
chairs at the sides. You wouldn't
buy a seat at the concert, you'd
buy entrance, and sit where you
want. This chair business at rock
concerts is for the birds.

Student Mobe Holds
Vigil At Barker Hall
I

By

JOE

HAAS

Kernel Staff Writer
The HOTC headquarters in
Barker Hall came under peaceful
attack last Thursday night by
members of the Student Mobilization Committee (SMC).
Approximately 60
'militants' held an
vigil
in demonstration against war and
the "system" that propagates
"trained killers," as one member
described the students taking
courses in the Reserve Officer
Training Corps.
Although there were whispered reports of impending attacks on the SMC protestors by
fraternities, sororities or karate
students, a girl in the assemblage
termed students "too damned
apathetic to do anything about
self-style- d

all-nig-

it."

A few demonstrators converged on the Barker Hall lawn
about 8:30 p.m. in front of the
ramp leading into the Student
Center and began setting up
peace flags. One of the white-on-blabanners was placed on the
ck

fire escape of the buildiugduring
the evening.
Protestors talked with passers-b-y
and with each other concerning goals, complaints and hopes.
Some chose to remain apart.
One of the HOTC students
started to converse with some
of the protestors, and the talk
became a debate. The controversy centered on ROTC, the
Vietnam war and a society of
capitalist versus socialist "fac-

tions".

An ROTC student stated that

"if you all (protestors) would

organize and get some backing,
then you'd have a chance" to
change society.
He also conceded that the
country is becoming more "socialistic," perhaps "the only
thing left" to alleviate such problems as poverty.
Assistant Dean of Students
Ken Brandenburgh was on the
scene throughout the night to
insure order and to let the infrequent users of Barker Hall in

* Back Down To Earth
The aborted Apollo XIII mission arid the near death of three
astronauts disastrous though it
was could have a positive effect
on the American people in the long
run. Through some ironic twist of
fate, perhaps, America's first significant lunar failure coincided almost directly with Wednesday's
environmental teach-in- .
It was as
if a mysterious power were warning the world to direct its thinking
back to ground level.
If nothingelse, Apollo XIII lends
validity to the argument of those
who criticize the space program
for gaining priority over our growing domestic problems, of which

the environment represents only a
small part.
Coverage preceding man's third
lunar excursion had become almost
routine in nature and reflected the
general thought trends of the American public. Likewise, environmental news play has taken on a humdrum nature not unlike clothing
fads and dance crazes. Perhaps the
country needed the rude awakening

it received.
At any rate, the American public witnessed, via television, several billion dollars spent in vain
this despite comments to the contrary from NASA officials, who
must now attempt with renewed

vigor to Justify this country's huge
space appropriation.
They, like the rest of us, must
realign their system of priorities
to place more distinct problems as
civil rights, crime, war and environmental crises in their proper perspective, all of which preclude the
race for space.
There will never be a more
appropriate time for America to
adjust its outlook than on Earth
Day. This period of Thanksgiving
set aside by President Nixon could
be extended to include thanks for
our earthly existence an existence
which now rests on the brink of
oblivion.
