Hepme and another still unidentified student were found dressed as hot dogs at Swisher field late last Saturday after- noon. Both were swaying back and forth and were quietly sing- ing to themselves. Northern State psychology professors and students majoring in psychol- ogy were called in to cure the students and return them to the campus.

LEFT Not everyone is cut out to change the world. After all, it takes educa- tion, skills and a spare two years. Also a willingness to work. Hard. This year 3,750 Americans will join the Peace Corps to do just that. They'll do things like build roads, plant forests and crops, teach English, develop small businesses, TO CH train community health workers, or even coach basketball. However, what they'll be doing isn't half as important as the fact that they'll be changing a little piece of the world ...for the better. And when they return, these 3,750 Americans will find that experience doing hard work will have another benefit. It's exactly what their next employers are looking for. So, give the Peace Corps your next two years. And while you're out changing the world, you'll also be making a place in it for yourself.

Come join the 6,000 Americans working in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and the South Pacific as volunteers. Program areas include health, education, engineering, science, math, English and many others.

Peace Corps provides transportation, training, a monthly living allowance, a $5,400 readjustment allowance upon completion of two years service and health care. Many schools offer graduate assistantships to returned volunteers.
