He said that 85 percent'of the volunteers ware sent to rural areas. While
engineers, urban planners, nurses,
medical tab technicians and 'lots of
math and science teachers' are needed ..
most, Rigler said that 'you can qualify '
more easily than you think,'
In his Own case, he said, he had a
political science degree but had worked
oh his family's farm-ranch while growing up in Texas. His agricultural background had give* him enough training
to work as a v*ocational agriciihural
instructor for sixth and seventh graders.
A bachelor's degree was usually
required, Rigler said, because the host
country 'is concerned with the quality
of people' it allows into the country.
In addition to the person's major,
Rigler said the Peace Corps also checked
for secrjodary skills and hobbies. 'With -
some additional training, those skills
can be used,'he said.
Basic knowledge in such areas as
hygiene is also helpful, he said. Artother
•vet that required no specialized background was community service. 'You
find out what the cornmunity needs,
•uk. you're theircatalyst/he said.
Even if the people only get
the equivalent of a sixth or :
grade education, that will give them
the basic literacy needed to read the
instructions on. a bag of fertilizer, he
said. -;-.>-i%">>"•".'"I" v '
'Education is the critical need/
Rigler said. The Peace Corps fills the
gap until there are people in the host
country trained to take over. Our goal
is to. foster independence. Hopefully,
some day we'll work ourselves out of
ajob.' •.;_>;-■•
During the year, 4,000 new-Peace
Corps volunteers and 1,590 new VISTAs
are expected to go into training.
' VISTA volunteers serve primarily
as community organizers in the United
States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
Guam and American Samoa.
Peace Corps works outside the
United States in developing countries
in Africa, Asia and South America.
Persons who expect to graduate in
the next nine months and are interested
