Now that the furor about the "Peace Corps postcard" has "aimed down, it is possible to approach the event objectively, instead of through the eyes of the press world. The Peace Corps, with its varied programs scattered throughout the world, was a subject of wide speculation when President Ken- nedy announced its birth. The general consensus was one of ap- proval and high hopes for the program. As is any new venture, there were bound to be problems arising now and then, which demanded to be ironed out. Nothing which involves international politics can ever be expected to proceed without some minor crises. The so-called crisis involving the Peace Corps came two weeks ago when Margery Michelrnore, a magna cum laude graduate of Smith wrote her impressions of life in Nigeria. Her views were essentially accurate, although naive, and her mistake came not in misrepresentation, but in the fact this information was written on an open postcard. The majority of Nigerian citizens would agree with Miss Michelmore on her description. What is wrong with "We had no idea what "underdeveloped' meant?" It really is a revelation and after we got over the initial shock, a very rewarding experience"? An American student, no matter how vigorous a training program she underwent, could not possibly imagine the living con- ditions in an underdeveloped country. It was the action of some minority radicals that used a relatively unimportant and innocent gesture to try and smear the reputation of the Corps. It is unfortunate that certain' groups are exerting pressure Student Relates Experiences to degrade the Peace Corps abroad in the very centers where the Americans are trying to accomplish some good, but this On Lisle Fellowship Program opposition is to be expected.

Pat Weaver, National College Queen What makes Artcarved Diamonds the favorite of America's College Queens ~

Actually there are many reasons. Artcarved diamond rings must meet traditionally high standards for color, cut, clarity and carat weight. Their award-winning styles are a delight to the eye. And, they take all of the guesswork out of buying a diamond. Every Artcarved ring carries a written guarantee for quality and permanent value that's recognized and reo spected by fine jewelers from coast to coast. We think you'll agree with America's lovely College Queens. Stop in at your jeweler and be sure to see all the exquisite Artcarved diamond rings-the rings you buy with confidence and wear with pride.
