Given time, the Peace Corps
may have a more profound effect
on the United States than the
world, according to a Texas A&M
University professor who helped
found the organization.
Dr. Manuel M. Davenport, head
of the Philosophy and Humanities
Department, said measurable re
sults are already discernable in
America and will become more
pronounced, perhaps within four
years.
THE PEACE CORPS has more
than 14,000 volunteers in 52 coun
tries. They are building schools,
roads and hospitals, teaching and
showing people of underdeveloped
countries that Americans with
college degrees don’t mind work
ing and getting their hands dirty.
The interesting aspect is the
corpsman who completes his two-
year tour and returns to the U. S.
About half the Peace Corps force
cycles annually. Volunteers re
turn at the rate of over 5,000 a
year.
“I estimate there should be
enough back to sway national
policy by 1972,” Davenport stat
ed. “They now number in the
tens of thousands.” He said in
terviews with his former students
reveal a different attitude.
“These are idealistic young
people to begin with,” he de
scribed. “They took on Corps as
signments knowing the U.S.’s
sole purpose, while altruistic, is
also selfish. Corps work is de
signed to make friends and give
our young people knowledge of
the world.”
CORPSMEN ARE hand-picked
and enter Peace Corps training
immediately after college. They
work for $75 a month to be paid
at the end of two years and live
at only slightly higher standards
than natives of the country with
which they work.
Davenport said most volunteers
return to college for graduate de
gree study.
He said interviews reveal Corps
programs have been “very suc
cessful” but that there are prob
lems.
“People coming back tell me
there’s more red tape, more paper
work and more ‘snafus’,” Daven
port said. “It indicates a danger
of the Corps becoming too much
a bureaucratic enterprise. They
also
feel the American people
may get impatient and turn to
military solutions. It takes time
to establish relationships with
people.”
“THEY ALSO believe our
democracy may not be the best
government for everyone and
don’t have much zeal for spread
ing our institutions. And they
believe that what happens to the
rest of the world is important to
us,” he added.
The former Colorado State Uni
versity professor who made a
Point Four Youth Corps feasibil
ity study under State Department
Contract said the returning corps-
men also have trouble readjusting
to United States culture.
“They find their work is not
appreciated by American people.
Having worked for ■ the Peace
Corps means nothing. Nobody
will listen to them and we’re not
learning from them,” Davenport
explained.
The U.S.’s future may hinge on
them though. The first returning
cycle is now completing advanced
studies and entering U. S. busi
ness, economic and social strata.
“THEY’LL HAVE a leveling
effect—a tendency toward a
world culture—in which the best
aspects of different cultures will
be adopted. America may come
to more resemble other cultures,
rather than the world adopting
ours,” Davenport evaluated.

A Peace Corps recruiting team
will visit Texas A&M Feb. 5-9,
announced Dr. Curtis L. Godfrey,
soil and crop sciences professor
who serves as the organization’s
campus coordinator.
Dr. Godfrey said Barbara Hun
ter and Joanne Phillips, both just
back from two-year Peace Corps
assignments overseas, will estab
lish a booth in the Memorial Stu
dent Center Feb. 7-9 to interview
prospective volunteers. They will
be visiting professors and pos
sibly talking to classes the first
part of the week.
Miss Hunter, a 1965 graduate
of the University of Arkansas,
served in Ecuador. Miss Phillips,
who graduated a year earlier
from Bennett College in North
Carolina, was stationed in Mo
rocco.
Visiting Professor To Hold
Engineering, Math Seminars
Dr. Richard J. Duffin, formerly
distinguished visiting professor
of engineering at Stony Brook
University, will join the Texas
A&M University faculty for the
spring semester as visiting dis
tinguished professor of mathe
matics.
Dr. Clarence Zener, dean of the
A&M College of Science, said Dr.
Duffin will conduct a joint semi
nar for the Mathematics Depart
ment and the College of Engi
neering.
Duffin is the senior author of
a book, “Geometric Program
ming,” of which Dean Zener is a
co-author. He is the author of
more than 100 research publica
tions.
The professor earned the Ph.D.
at the University of Illinois with
a major in physics and a minor
in mathematics. He earlier re
ceived the Bachelor of Arts De
gree in engineering at the Uni
versity of Illinois.
Dr. Duffin has served two terms
as a national lecturer for the So
ciety for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics, giving talks at uni
versities and industrial labora
tories from Florida to California.
The speaker is a member of the
American Mathematical Society,
the Society for Industrial and Ap
plied Mathematics, and Society
for Natural Philosophy.
Duffin also has served as ref
eree for numerous mathematical
reviews. Currently, he is an as
sociate editor for the Journal of
Mathematical Analysis and Ap
plications, the Journal of Combi
national Theory, and the SIAM
