King Cancels Speech Date
Dr. Martin Luther King has informed UM that he will not be able to speak here Feb 15 or 16. as scheduled
King was approached a year ago by Friends of the University spokesman Dr. Ivan Hoy, and last fall he agreed to appear as the guest of the Friends.
A wire received early last week from Dr. King's executive assistant, Andrew J Young announced his decision.
"It is with the deepest regret that we must inform you that because of the present temper of events in Selma. Alabama, at this time. Dr. King has had to cancel all of his engagements for the month of February. He has asked me to advise you that he hopes to have an opportunity to speak at the University of Miami sometime in the future."
The other speaker scheduled by the Friends of the University for this semester is Dr. Arnold Toynbee, noted English historian now teaching at New University near Fort Myers. Fla. Dr. Toynbee will be here March 20. to speak to students on "Truth and Diversity in Historic Religions."

Peace Corps Vet: Inside Privies Areni Important; Helping Is
5;
By TOMAS KLEIMAN HURRICANE News Editor
"I joined the Peace Corps because I felt I was spoiled," said Sara Gay Beacham. 24-year-old Corps veteran.
"I had just graduated from college and had my teaching degree. I wanted to travel and meet different people and strange environments, and I was looking for a way to put my years of schooling to a task that would help somebody else who was not going to get the educational benefits I had.”
Sara is one of a team of volunteers who are currently recruiting students at I'M. To look at her. one would never take her for the kind of girl
who would sleep on the floor of a native hut for a week, sustaining herself on peanut butter and crackers to prove a point, hut she did that and much more.
"It’s not just the part about not having running water or inside privies, or about walking wherever you want to go, or being the only American in the village. You don’t think of these things after a while. They're just not important. It's getting to know the people, helping and being helped.” The great thing about it is that it really works.
After her training at San Jose State University in Philippine Studies, including the native language, Tagalog, she was sent out to Manila.
"From the capitol it’s a 500-mile boat trip to Basilan. the small island on which I spent Ihe better part of two years teaching English and introducing the deductive teaching
method into the educational system.
"Basilan is a beautiful, picturesque island which looks just like the travel posters say a South Sea island is supposed to look What the posters don’t show is that the living conditions are on a subsistence level.
"The economy of the island is
based on the small peasant farms and fishing fleets. There are a few large coconut plantations and Goodyear rubber has a lumber
concession," she commented
"There were four of us assigned to the island — two women and two men. When we arrived, we were treated to a splendid rereplion. For the first few days, we were considered as oddity. They just couldn't understand why tour Americans would come to their island to
teach school. Some thought we were agents from the (TA and earried guns with us.
"After we had been there for about a week, we spread out, one to each of the villages scattered across the island.
“For most of the people in my village, I was the first white person they had ever seen It took (hem about three months to believe I was serious aliout teaching English and was really going to stay.
"My living conditions were the same as those of the natives. with the eveeplion that a typical family living in my house (16 x 16 feet), would have 10 people, she said.
"During the summer we established a summer school and camp
on an isolated peninsula that jutted out from the island inaccessible except by boat. The idea of the project was to bring the Christian and Moslem Philippines, who usually don't get along very well, together It was a great success.
"All I can say is that I had a wonderful experience, and was glad to be a part of strengthening the education of the pupils and teachers whom I taught." she comment! d.
"One of the great things about the Peace Corps is that it gives Americans, who are hy nature. I feel, generous people, an opportunity to channel a construc-tivi and helpful energy to a needy cause, while getting in return double what they give.
Peace Corps testing will continue through Tuesday. Interested students and adults may still sign up for the aptitude measurement in the Memorial Breezeway.
