They Volunteered The Peace Corps and Marquette seniors seemed to go hand in hand. The more than 100 senior applicants in 1964 placed Marquette in the top ten schools in the country in number of applicants. There are now 68 former Marquette students in actual Peace Corps service abroad. During Peace Corps week at Marquette, October 18 to 24, four corps volunteers told interested Marquette students of their experiences. One volunteer explained that “being a corpsman means frustration, hardship and considerable adjustment as well as the thrill of accomplishment and self satisfaction. At a Peace Corps table in the Union the volunteers illustrated the intensive training program and the typical problems they faced in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The volunteers who lived at Heraty Hall received intensive language drill. Sixty-five Peace Corps volunteers trained at Marquette this past year before leaving for Brazil. Another volunteer said that applicants are two types of idealists. “Pure idealists are those swept up in emotion; they often fail to qualify as volunteers. “Practical idealists arc those who realize what being a corpsman involves; they want to do such work. These are the ones who most often make successful corpsmen, said the volunteer. ••it,.

Father Walsh: Rejection of Cod makes monsters of as. Join “Enlightenment through the Holy Spirit should be our goal here at Marquette,” said Father James B. Corrigan. S.J.. in his sermon at the Mass of the Holy Spirit in lower Gcsu on September 30. He explained that as the student seeks the subjective Redemption in his own life, the Holy Spirit enlightens him so that he can evaluate the means to this end. He warned that “sloth and the missing of opportunity oppose the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. “One of the greatest sins against the Holy Spirit,” said Father Corrigan, “is the practical denial that He exists at all.” At the simultaneous Mass in the upper church Father John Walsh, S.J., urged the full development of the individual. In order to make our life complete, we must develop our entire beings, he said. “We must get God at the center of our lives and keep Him there,” was Father Walsh’s answer to man’s success. “Rejection of God makes monsters of us.” as One Dr. Horton Hoe leads the Sacred Music Choir at the Mass of the Holy Spirit in Upper Cesa.

They Came From All Lands “Marquette is supposed to prepare students for the future; the International Students Club tries to do its share by helping them become true citizens of the world, not just one nation,” said Alfredo Romagosa, club president. “We believe that all we have to do is to provide an opportunity for people from different countries to become friends; the rest will take care of itself.” And faculty and students who have watched the club to see if it would work say that it has. A visitor attending the Friday afternoon coffee hours at the ISC center in lleraty Hall could sense the students' acceptance of one another. He may have seen an Indian engineering senior showing a card trick to a laughing Chinese coed and a mystified speech student from Chicago. He may have heard the hesitant English of a Nigerian economics major mixing with the staccato accents of a smiling Filipino nursing student. But what the observer felt was the happy honesty of people meeting people; people liking people. This sincerity has formed the core spirit of the club’s 135 members. During the year, the club sponsors dances, lectures and discussions, a cultural symposium, and an annual show. Judy Ramirez, from Puerto Rico, appeared in a love scene from '‘And Cod Created Man.
