Bennett ' s Own Dr. Carolyn R. Payton, director of the U.S. Peace Corps, keynoted the Women ' s Studies Program ' s An In- ternational Odyssey: Career Awareness Journeys into the Char- tered Future. The focus of the inter- disciplinary event was resolving world problems through the training of women for leadership roles in inter- national services. Dr. Payton, who graduated from Ben- nett in 1945, encouraged students to give their time and talents to Third World countries. She said, Progress can only be made if you can free your- self to care about others. But she noted that while serving in the Peace Corps is a viable option there is little money to be made in helping to alleviat world problems. Among the participants in the Women ' s Studies program were Dr. Alfreda Webb, senior Bar- bara Hamm and Dr. Thelma D. Nyoka. They discussed the problem of freedom in obtaining a vocation in the political arena.
