  • Page 12 The Western Carolinian Friday, February 5, 1965 Peace Corps Volunteer Speaks At Assembly Here The International Relations Club, assisted by Dean Taylor L. Huskins, sponsored the visit to Western Carolina College of Jerry Fite, a returned Peace Corps Volunteer, on Monday and Tuesday, January 25 and 26. At 9:00 a.m. on Monday, Fite addressed an assembly in Hoey Auditorium, during which a movie, "A Mission of Discovery," was shown. After this program, Fite visited several history classes, where he spoke on the Peace Corps movement and held discussion periods with the students. At different times during his visit, Fite conducted information booths in an effort to Inspire students, particularly those of Junior and senior status, to contribute their services to the Peace Corps. Fite's recruiting visits stem from the need for replacements for 10,000 Volunteers who are presently serving in 46 countries. Besides replacements, he commented that the Corps is hoping to expand to an additional 23 countries, for which Volunteers will be needed. Fite is a 1962 graduate of Drury College in Springfield, Mo. In addition to holding an athletic scholarship and majoring in Physical Education and English, he was active In student government, Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, and the Journalism Society. He was Sports Editor of the Drury Mirror from 1960-1962. When asked how he came to be a Peace Corps Volunteer, Fite commented that when he was a senior, President Kennedy was establishing the organization and had just signed the Peace Corps Act. The influence of the New Frontier and the desire to do his first teaching in a foreign country led him to join the movement. Now serving as a journalist on the Peace Corps Public Information staff on a two-year foreign service appointment, Fite writes general information and human interest articles for such magazines as Coronet and Redbook, and articles on specific areas of the Peace Corps for teachers' journals. Interested students may obtain further information and application blanks for joining the Peace Corps from the Cullowhee Postmaster or Dean Huskin's office.
