DICK 'WISEMAN . . . to West Africa with the Peace Corps. May Weekend Looms As Persian Bazaar ""Not since Niniveh"" will any-one see a grander May Day than Towson students will see on May 1. Included in the a-genda for the day are the Queen's Luncheon in the cafe-eria, the crowning of the Queen at the soccer field, the May Day baseball game, and the Dance which will be held that night. During the game and crowning, the Bazaar will sell food and refreshments.' Unlike some past May Days with their folksy and homespun themes, this year's Day prom-ises to be exotic and fascinating. That means that hand in some colorful and daring ventures. The Peace Corps: Going And Coming-Wiseman To See Africa TSC Senior Class President, Dick Wiseman, is preparing to go to Nigeria, West Africa, as a member of the Peace Corps this June, after graduation. Dick, who first entered Towson in 1957 and then interupted his stay here to go into the Air Force, is a math major and has served as vice-president of the FAC and president of both his junior and senior classes. It wasn't until last March that Dick decided to join the Peace Corps. ""I saw some literature on the corps in Dean Murphy's office,"" says Wiseman, ""and I agree with their goals and purposes."" Dick applied as a volunteer last April and was accepted early the following May. Last summer he went to Dartmouth College, where he was trained to teach secondary school in West Africa. This July he will at-tend classes in Atlanta. Georgia, where he will learn Ibo, one of the many Ni-gerian languages. While Dick is in Atlanta, he will also work with the underprivi- !edged children of Georgia. He is scheduled to leave for Nigeria after eight weeks of training in Atlanta. Dick says he is often ques-tioned about his reasons for joining the Peace Corps. ""Al-though it sounds strange,"" says Dick. ""my reasons for joining the Peace Corps are pretty much the reasons one usually hears."" He wants to help people. and he believes that he can best achieve this goal by going abroad. ""because most Ameri-cans don't need help as much as some other people."" Dick feels that people who can spare the time should volunteer for the Peace. Corps and that at this point in his life he can spare the time. He is also anvious to see if he can adjust to a dif-ferent culture. Dick has con-fidence in his ability to help the people of Nigeria and considers the Peace Corps a great oppor-tunity. Lively and likable best des-cribe Mrs. Robert L. McAn-drews, Peace Corps volunteer from Kpaiyea, Liberia who vis-ited Towson on March 23 and 24. Sinre returning from Africa in October, 1964, Mrs. McAn-drews and her husband have worked in the Public Affairs Office of the Corps in Washing-ton, D.C. She met and married her husband in Liberia during her assignment there. Mrs. McAndrew's present, domestic assignment has taken her to 65 colleges across the United States. Towson is the sixty-sixth college that she has visited. In particular, her job is to publicize the Peace Corps to future volunteers. She is not selling or advertising the Peace Corps, and she does not per-sonally recruit volunteers. By telling students about the Corps' goals abroad and clearing up hasty ideas about the Corps' itself, Mrs. 'McAndrews simply stirs students' thought about Peace Corps work. She did pro-vide, however, lengthy question. aires that students may fill out and forward t4) Corps head-quarters in D.C. Mrs. McAndrew related that 1000 persons apply weekly for entrance into the Peace Corps. Only one in ten actually qualify for Corps work abroad. Person-ality problems, physical inca-pacity, and inadequate educa-tion are a few reasons why Corps applicants are turned away. Mrs. McAndrews said that there is presently a lack of qualified persons applying for entrance into the Peace Corps. Temporarily set up at the Peace Corps Center on campus between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., Mrs. McAndrews answered ques-tions, asked questions, made re-marks, gave out pamphlets and questionaires; and chatted about her Peace Corps work in gen-eral. Some ordinary and many searching questions were asked by students who gathered a- (Continued on Page 4) Exchange Copies Available To All Students The SG has asked Tower Light to make available to the student body the ex-change files located in the Tower Light office.

Who knows what mystery and adventure you'll encounter at the Bazaar of Pleasures on May Day. You might be entertained by the ever-interesting swivels of belly dancers. Bearded Turks and Arabs with scarlet turbans might be standing behind their stalls hawking their wares to the crowd. Swashbuckling Bed-ouins might gallop up to the Bazaar on their camels and kidnap some of the ladies. Droves of slaves and private harems will probably abound at the Bazaar. Veiled, secretive women might flash their eyes'at all the adventurous young men who will be wandering about the stalls and Writs. Perhaps you'll watch a snake charmer and munch on a spit of shish-kabob. If Allah be beneficient, perhaps these and many more delights await you at the Ba-zaar of Pleasures. We have one whole month before May Day. Already, the five main committees are organ-ized and operating. The com-mittees are organized and op-erating. The committees have-n't been filled entirely; so there's plenty of room for every-one� Arabs included. Perhaps your genius lies in planning and co-ordinating policy, there's a special velvet cushion re-served for you in the tent of the Assembly Committee. Per-haps you have a flair for wild, gay colors and are handy with scissors, crayon, paper mache, etc. you may hold a most re-spected position at the tent of the Decoraions Committee. Per-haps your specialty is blazoning our May Day to all the world, contact our all-wk---e and blessed chairman of the Publicity Com-mittee. Perhaps your expertize lies with handling cur exotic and rare sweetmeats and fruits, then you pledge your honored services to the Concessions Committee. Perhaps your pre-cious ta:ents are needed to write and mail invitations to honored persons, no knowledge of San-skrit is necessary to join the Program and Invitations Com-mittee. Anyone and everyone wish-ing to work on the intriguing and exciting May Day commit-tees, stop in at hte Office anytime and chat with Vince Elliott, chairman of the May Day activities.
