Teachers on march for wages, quality Texans prefer staying home Peace Corps off in state United Press International DALLAS — It recruits like the nilitary, but it brandishes the logans of peace and goodwill mong men. It’s the Peace Corps, the 23- ear-old brainchild of President ohn Kennedy and his New 'rontier. It has survived a varie- of political administrations, onomic turbulence and feder- budget cuts. It maintains a corps of 5,000 olunteers in 60 nations, but it as trouble recruiting in Texas, here there are too many jobs nd too few Northerners. “The skills are all here in exas,” said Ed Godfrey, mana- [erof the Dallas bureau, which andles five Southwestern states om the second floor room of in aging downtown post office, but for some reason it’s a har- ler area to recruit in than the ll be jot Northeast or elsewhere, asked ill I He said Texans, as a rule, knecht sji: MobvPewli prefer to stay close to home. “Unlike other areas where look at we find Texans like to stay home,” he said. “They are not as oriented to traveling abroad.” “I don’t know why this is the pattern,” he said. “I would hope this is starting to change. A lot of people are moving down here f rom the North, and more and more are applying who are widely traveled. So things may change.” Another disadvantage in Texas, he said, is the economy. “The people who are volun teering now are interested in how the corps can help them, how it can improve their job prospects,” he said. “We see a lot of recruits in other parts of the nation who come to us because they can’t get jobs. But in Texas that is not such a problem since the economy is better. “Let’s face it,” he said, “people don’t join the Peace Corps for the money,” which averages $300 a month and is geared to the cost ofliving in each country. He said generally the new re cruit was less idealistic and more practical than the entrant 20 years ago. “We just don’t see the idealism of the 1960s.’ But, in fact, the Corps wants training, not idealism these days. “Basically we’re looking for people who are trained in busi ness, forestry, agriculture, edu cation, health and other skill trades,” Godfrey said. “These are skills developing countries can use.” He said the region’s four re cruiters— down from 12 during the halcyon days of the 1960s — visit college campuses and tech nical schools in New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas in search of qual ified applicants. “We even advertise in news letters for senior citizens,” he said. “We look for retirees with skills as well as students, any body who wants the practical ex perience or the personal re wards this business can offer. United Press International AUSTIN — More than 1,000 teachers from across the state marched in a mock funeral pro cession protesting the quality of education and low wages in the school system. The march, sponsored by the Texas Federation of Teachers’ Union, began about 8:15 p.m. Monday at the Texas AFL-CIO building and ended at the steps of the Capitol about five blocks away. More than 1,000 teachers from across the state looked on as four pallbearers, carrying signs saying “Rest in Peace — Higher Education” placed a black coffin in the Capitol rotunda. Maureen Peters, newly elected president of the Dallas County federation, said the fun eral procession represented the death of educational excellence in the state at the hands of Texas legislators who are defeating the educational finance bills before the state legislature. John Cole, the state federa- The people in this building (the Austin capitol) tell us how much they love educa tion...but this building has become...one of the greatest betrayals. — John Cole, president of the Texas Federation of Teachers' Union tion president, said the 9 per cent increase in salaries ’ for teachers voted on by the state legislators does not exist because of inflation. “The people in this building (the Austin capitol) tell us how much they love education. We know they must be sincere, but this building has become the scene of one of the greatest bet rayals. Some of you (teachers) will receive a 3 percent increase. Yet, the rest of you will not re ceive any increase,” Cole said. “We are 43rd in the nation for pupil expenditures yet No. 1 in highway expenditures. We need a 65 percent increase in wages if we want to be No. 1 in salaries. We will not move up in the nation with small increases,” Cole said. CAREER CONTROL SECRETS!!!
