Community Development Conference.

Some 250 students from colleges and universities in the Northeast are assembling on the Dartmouth campus April 1 and 2 to discuss how today's college student can play an active role in community development in this country and in the underdeveloped nations abroad.

The conference, officially designated "Community Development and the University," is bringing together specialists in community organization from across the nation to focus attention on different types of national and international community development, to assess present efforts by various organizations such as the Peace Corps, and to establish new ways, particularly on the international level, for students to participate.

The program is under the joint sponsorship of two campus groups, the Comparative Studies Center and the Dartmouth Christian Union's Political Action Commission, and two outside groups, the Peace Corps and the Student World Alliance for Progress.

Guest panelists participating in the discussions include Frank Mankeiwicz, director of the Peace Corps in Latin America; Julia Henderson, undersecretary for the United Nations Bureau of Social Affairs; Harris Wofford, associate director, Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Research, Peace Corps; James Fernandez, Dartmouth associate professor of anthropology and area consultant for the Peace Corps; and Saul Alinsky, founder of the Areas Foundation for the im-Industrial provement of slum districts in U. S. cities.

Also, James Forman, executive director of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee; Father Vizzard, director, Washington office of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference and former professor at Georgetown and Chicago Universities; John Donoghue, Institute of Community Development, Michigan State University and specialist in Asian sociology and anthropology; and Todd Gitlin, University of Michigan graduate student and past president of Students for Democratic Society.
