Finally, the Roll Over Beethoven By STEVE WOODRUFF Perhaps you may find a meuage from this If you want, -and hence poealbly pursue it through actidn, or It may .be for you nothing more than a “by-the-way” treatlae 'which you can a tore away within your Intellect. If either is done, then something, be it small dr large, has been accomplished. Last year it was from mere coin cidence that I heard of “Project Hope.’-’ Now I want to tell the en tire world about it. From higher echelons, however, tath is occurr ing much more effectively and thoroughly; and It Is the entire world that is hearing continually about it, and most assuredly, bene fiting from it.; *. “Project Hope” is sponsored directly in Washington, D.C. by the People-to-People Health Founda tion, Inc., -and by the people of the United States. Through their pri- . vntp donations they have kept the complete hospital ship “HOPE" (Health Opportunity for People Everywhere)- sailing Since 1960, •■with a five million'dollar cost basis annually-. The 15.000 ton, fivc-deckcd ship in. its entirety is a fully equipped hospital with 230 patiorit-bed 1 -. Each, year • the HOPE for ten months visits a country - which has . a dire need fqr ine’dicnl progress. Upon request for the past .eight .years, HOPE has visited Indonesia,. South Vietnam, Peru, Equndnr, Guinea, Nicaragua, • Columbia, and since Mar. of ’68 has been in port o.t Colombo. Ceylon. . ., The primary objective of fhi' permanent and volunteer HOPE Award goes this -week to Brother Ed Marion. Congratulations Ed! KAPPA'ALPHA ORDER ' Humor has ij that Joe Utzman is pinned- to Betsy Good of Wesleyan. The-truth is, he lost.it in a card game! Time will tell; uh “Kid"? • Gomiviunl will be held the 24th staff hi to teach and not simply to donate money or medical equip ment. Approximately 120 doctors, and nurses of all specialties com prise the paid permanent staff. During ita ten month stay, five two-month rotations occur where by eighty volunteer doctors fly to . the ship from the states for each rotation in order to assume their role of teacher. The success of Pro ject Hope Is due not only to the American citizens, but to the per- • manent and volunteer medical staff teaching on and from HOPE. each year. In- addition to the professional staff, eight to fifteen college stu dents are selected by HOPE each summer for the June - July rota tion, In Ceylon this past summer, three students from Univ. of N.C., one from Pombna Collegeg, one from Rollins, one from Columbia, and one from Mercer composed the summer student program. • We. spent out first week survey ing an o'rphan home, a detention home, a blind anti deaf School, a 2000 student public school, and a leper colony of 600. Our purpose was to determjne what each school needed that we could at least ini tiate and possibly supply during the two-month.period. . The actnity varied from organ izing volleyball and soccer—to tally and physically Mttttod chil dren, thirty physically fit orphans, and forty abandooed babtes (the majority at whom would not live past three year*). Two converted Buddhists assumed the.full life time role of mesters of the home, with the help of six attendants for the three sections. . The m&taily and physically re tarded children interacted with the normal orphans, and hence volley ball, cricket; and dodgeball were Initiated with both groups integrat ed. In addition, during our three day weekly attendance, pasteurized milk manufactured from the ship was taken to all the children. The program at,the public school was to be used as a “model” tor the four public schools In the same district. The first two weeks we utilized for organizing' physical ed ucation classes. The following two weeks publis health cartoons were shown to the children in addition to the P.E. classes- The second month, we as mere advisers to 15 prefect students and eight teachers, • organized a carnival which the School sponsored for. Us own stu dents and for the surrounding dis trict. ■ . , At the leper colony, one' ward out of twelve was selected to be a -model for cleanliness. The floor, walls, and beds were. Infested with rli'iiningg and painting a ward. These, however, acted only as means »o an .ulterior goal. The underlying idea we felt needed to l>d installed was that of individual and group responsibility.-. The orphan’s home foi- boys was located on’ tin' coast of the Indian Ocean,, and like most "homes” it ■was distinctly separated from .society. Three sections , minprisi'd the home: twenty (age 6-16) mcn- filth, despite the fact that a govern ment laborer swept twice a week. With the aid at first of only four lepers, the walls and floor were scrubbed with' disinfectant. Later the inside and outside Walls were painted with the white wash they . had prepared, Two weeks before the, completion of. the washing and painting, fifteen to twenty of the lepefs in the ward involved them selves in the work-project. • in m roNTiM’rr- - nf January ' at ^American Legion Post S3.
