By LUIS EUGENIO
The ¿pace race to the moon may have been half won by ccsmcnaut Yuri Gagarin and the Soviets, but the U. S. astronauts still have a “thrustful of chance” to make it there fust.
This is the opinion of Col. j George B. Potior, director of the Aviation and Missile Safety Division at USC.
When asked to comment on the latest Prussian space achievement. Colonel Potter said that he was not surprised to hear about the accomplishment. “We had been expecting that all along," he said.
Expresses Doubt
But the Air Force colonel expressed doubts regarding the au- ! thenticitv of the Soviet reports.
For this reasrn. he labeled as impractical a suggestion made by a U. S. representative that Major Gagarin be invited to the United States.

Scientific Invitation According to the colonel, ‘'a good solution might be the extension of an invitation by a scientific society.”

First-place District One debaters. Alan Fox and Mike Thorpe will represent USC at the national intercollegiate debate finals at West Point, April 26 through 29.
The team qualified to compete in “the World Series of intercollegiate debate-’ as a result of their 17 “win” decisions in a total of 19 ballots in district qualifying rounds held earlier this month in Stockton.
Fox and Thorpe have talked up forensic honors by arguing pro and ccn on th" national debate topic: “Resolved, that the United States should adopt a program of compulsory health insurance for all citizens.’’
Other Finalists Other District One schools entering the debate finals are University of Pacific, Los Angeles State College and San Diego State College. The district is composed of colleges and universities in California. Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Hawaii.
“The honor of participation in national forensics competition is well appreciated." said Dr. James H. McBath, associate forensics ; director.
“The strong support of intercollegiate debate activities at USC is a tribute to its emphasis upon intellectual achievement.” He added that “our participation in the annual West Point debate finals provides national ■j recognition to the university’s pursuit of ackdemic excellence." Wrist Watches ! If Fox and Thorpe score highest in the finals, they will j receive wrist watches and bring home permanent and continuous debate trophies.
Working as a team since the debate season started. Fox and Thorpe have totaled a 92 per cent record win.

Must Like Work
He maintained that prospective members of the Peace Corps must like the work involved. Knowledge of a language would also help but is not necessary. French, as spoken in North Africa, and Arabic can easily be learned, he claimed.
“The impact of the Peace Corps will be greatest in the lower middle classes, who are just beginning to be politically aware of their power,” he asserted.
The international relations professor warned that, if the Peace Corps is formulated with a political orientation, the members might be in conflict with the aims of Nassar.
“Nassar is not pro-Commu-nist, but pro-Arab,” he explain- | ed. “This is the source of Egypt's present convict with the United States.”

“North Africa is just on the verge of a boom," Dr. Beling stated. “Libya, the ‘dustbowT of Africa, which formerly was not self-supporting, will soon become one of the richest countries on the continent because of newly discovered oil reserves.”

Peace Corps interviews held on campus last Friday showed that, although most students are ; very optimistic abotit the corps, they are not as well informed about it as they want to be.
New York Herald Tribune representative Joe Hyams, who interviewed 60 top-level seniors on President Kennedy’s Peace Corps program, said that the New York Herald-Tribune is conducting a survey on the corps on many campuses across the country. Material from the interviews will be used in a series of articles.
“Several students objected to the word ‘corps’ in the name simply because is connotes at aggression, propaganda and militarism,” Hyams said.
Students were asked whether or not they favored the Peace Corps as an instrument to assist underdeveloped countries and whether or noti they planned to apply for enlia^iient in it.
“I like the set-up of the Peace j Corps because it w ill draw people who want to help, people who are genuinely interested regardless of remuneration,” said i Jack Kuhns, a senior in aero- ; nautical engineering, during the 1 interviews.
Kuhns suggested that an alternate plan for the Peace Corps would be to educate foreign na 1 tionals in the United States and then send them back as teachers. He pointed out that the only disadv antage of the alternate plan is the training time needed to produce teachers.
Kuhns also said that people selected for the Peace Co.ps should have a good over all idea of what is happening in the world.
i
He has applied for the Peace Corps.
Jack Seymour, a senior in finance studying under a four year Navy scholarship, felt that the
Peace Corps would be “most beneficial for all concerned because our people will gain as much as they give."
Seymour said that, if he had a choice between military service and the Peace Corps, he would choose the Peace' Corps. The finance senior will enter the Marine Corps on graduation.
"The Peace Corps will take a lot of sacrifice on most people s part," said William 'Blackburn, also a senior in finance. Blackburn felt that, although members of the Peace Corps would derive “r i c h emotional experience" from their work, they would lose time that could have been used to work* on careers.
Several students said they would join the Peace Corps if they could take their spouses with them.
Salary was mentioned only once in 30 interviews, Hyams said.
