NEW YORK AMONG LEADERS IN NUMBER OF PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEERS by Peace Corps Director Paul Coverdell The week o f April 21 through April 27 is National Volunteer Week throughout the United States. It is a good time for all of us to reflect on how fortunate we are to live in a nation blessed with an abundance of natural resources, a generally temperate climate, and a political system and econom ic system that are admired throughout the world. It is also a time for us to reflect on ways we can share with others some o f the good fortune with which we have been so richly blessed. The people of America have a long and distinguished heritage of voluntarism and sharing. The courageous men and women who participated in Operation Desert Storm are the most recent in a long line who have volunteered to serve their nation in time of war. Likewise, there has always been a strong tradition of service in our churches and synagogues, as well as our numerous civic clubs. As director o f the Peace Corps, I want to use this celebration of National Volunteer Week to commend and thank the citizens of New York for another type of volunteer activity — service in the Peace Corps of the United States. It is not widely known, but in Peace Corps' 30 year history, the state of New York has contributed more volunteers —11,355 — than any other state except California. That is quite an admirable record - one of which all New Yorkers should be exceedingly proud. The last two years have been years o f revolutionary change in all parts of the world. The Cold War has ended; the Berlin Wall has crumbled. The philosophical underpinnings of an entire econom ic/political system — communism — have collapsed. From Central and Eastern Europe, to Asia, Africa and Latin America, totalitarian and dictatorial regimes have been replaced with liberal democratic governments. Peace Corps is leading the way to provide assistance to these newly emerging democracies. Our volunteers are teaching English, the international language o f commerce and providing skills necessary to start small businesses. As our nation's ambassador to Poland'recently said, \Peace Corps was there first with the most.\ In spite of these encouraging changes, global peace and stability remain elusive. . In two of the world's largest nations, China and the Soviet Union, change is meeting strenuous resistance. In Africa and Latin America, economic develop ment remains painfully slow. In the Middle East, the recent war and age-old territorial and cultural differences threaten to keep the region in turm oil. These are promising tim es, yet They are' difficult times. These are times in which Peace Corps' m ission o f promoting world peace and friendship has never been more vital. In the next two years, Peace Corps will expand its mission even further — to nearly 90 countries by the end o f 1992. By the end of this century, our goal is to have 12,000 Volunteers serving in every nation with a legitimate need - more than 100. To do less would mean our mission was not being fulfilled. Thirty years ago, President Kennedy said, \Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.\ Today, President Bush again calls a nation to service. He has said, \In America today, there can be no definition of a successful life that does not include service to others.\ The message is clear: Americans have always been a generous people and a caring people. The spirit o f voluntarism is as strong today as it was in the generation of the 1960s. Obviously, that spirit of voluntarism is deeply rooted in New York. During National Volunteer Week and Peace Corps' 30th Anniversary year, let me encourage this generation of New Yorkers to continue the tradition. Join the Peace Corps. It really is \The Toughest Job You'll Ever Love.\ WCOT has sent a few of it's returning members to New York for the Intercollegiate Broadcast System Convention where we've taken back monges of amounts of information to bring WCOT that much closer to FCC certification. WCOT is working hard also in becoming the sound authority in the Residence Halls, coming to life by this fall. We plan on broadcasting to the dorms over FM Cable and Carrier Current so that the students there can tune to hear the great tunes of WCOT, news, sports, weather, and events going on and off campus as they happen. With the great bunch of kids coming in next year to continue the tradition of excellence and professionalism (yeah right) as Executive WCOT's board the outgoing but godlike board would like to welcome the new executive board on. They are: General Shannon Studio Althea Manager: \He's Manager: \I love Single?!\ Harvey Alaska\ Kelly Program Director: Tony \She's Legal1\ Diaz Chief Engineer: Jason \I want my gas money\ Molzen FCC Engineer: Joe \How do you spell WCOT?\ Yaeger Business Manager: Chris \You want us for how much?!\ Blunt Music Director: Rich \Cruisin' for Babes\ Jefferies Public Relations: Mary \I'm not that kind of girl!\ Ashman Secretary: Debbie \Get the hell off the field!\ Goodstein guys you'll Good Luck need it. It's going to be a great year for WCOT next year, I just wish I was here to see it all happen. Well take care all, this is the Zenman and the Fu-man signing off for the last time. WELL MAYBE!!!! P.S. Alex, you ! ! See Daddy loves ya soon. \
