CUSO volunteer touring universities "People who apply only for the job will have difficulties. However, those who apply for the job and who want to learn from the situation will have a wonderful time," said Mr. McLean, He said when arriving In Africa his first feeling was one of despair it was a totally different culture, a new job and new people. Loneliness was his next reaction ho was far from home and entirely on his own. However, Mr.

McLean adapted to the new situation and now plans to return for another two years. As a field staff officer, he will bo directly responsible for the administration of the program in Nigeria and will work in close co-operation with government departments and agencies to arrange job placements. Anyone who is interested in obtaining more information or would like to determine their own qualifications for volunteering may contact Rev. J. C.

Molloy at Campion Col al office in Ottawa before he returns to Africa as a field staff officer in Nigeria. What exactly is CUSO? CUSO is an independent, nonprofit organization which provides professionally and technically qualified Canadians to meet the changing manpower requirements of developing countries. Mr. McLean said a great number of people are interested in CUSO and he is attempting to show these people that CUSO is just as interested in them. "Right now is the time when we have to get skilled people with experience," said Mr.

McLean. CUSO recruits, selects, trains and sends personnel to work for two-year assignments under contract to overseas governments and agencies. Mr. McLean explained that salaries are paid by the governments and agencies of the countries in which 1 teers are working. Wages are adapted to the various countries and are not based on Canadian salaries.

Mr. McLean said if Canadian salaries were paid in the developing countries, where standards of Jiving are lower, volunteers would be able to "live like kings." lie said wages are adequate and allow volunteers to live comfortably in their surroundings. Ho said CUSO is trying to expand by recruiting tradesmen rather than persons with straight academic courses because the countries involved now require people with marketable skills such as electrical engineers, sheet metal workers, plumbers and welders. Medical help is always needed, Mr. McLean said that volunteers are chosen according to their qualifications and the specific requests from abroad.

Anyone with a degree, diploma or certified skill for which CUSO has a request qualifies. According to the organization, maturity is a major consideraton. Assignments call for qualities of initiative, common sense, adaptability, sensitivity and an ability to relate to the different values encountered in a cross-cultural experience.

TELLING IT THE HAY IT IS: Confronted by approximately 100 grade nine students at O'Neill High School, parents and priests faced a barrage of questions on topics ranging from long hair and clothing styles to communication and understanding. Here, questioned about the inconsistencies of parental discipline, Mrs. Ann Dulong (third from left), mother of seven, explains that because young teen-agers are constantly By BILL HEINTZ Staff Reporter Offering (The Carpenters) Records. For some unknown reason, I liked this record. I say unknown (perhaps strange would be a better word) because the Carpenters are a lot like Sonny and Cher, and I don't like them at all.

Perhaps it is Karen Carpenter's singing voice (the Carpenter's are a brother and sister group) or maybe it is the strong feelings that Richard conveys on the keyboard. Richard also composed ten of the songs, while Karen sings, plays drums and electric bass. Sometimes, when you're listening to the radio, don't you just get tired of hearing the same type of songs over and over again. I'm not saying the Carpenters offer anything terribly different. What they do is kind of make you feel good all over.

They are singing about things that people only experience in moments of life. Those things all relate back to happiness, and I really do believe the Carpenters are happy. Some of the individual cuts leave a lot to be desired (for example Your Wonderful Parade) while others leave you with the feeling that you've just listened to something very beautiful. The only song the Carpenters get heavy (if you can call it that) is on What's The Use. It seems to be a kind of desperate song; one of helplessness.

The Carpenters do an old Lennon-McCartney song, Ticket To Ride, on the second side of the album. They do justice to the song but I believe the vast majority would prefer The Beatles original. The most beautiful song on the album is Eve. The lyrics and the music were made for each other. It's mood music.

Would you believe Neil Young wrote a song called Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing? Actually it's kind of a gas. The album closes with a 40-second benediction. It is a rather somber ending to a happy album. But the tune does pick up to make everything light and airy. Illusion of rich and reckless stives wav to disenchantment BY PAUL SCRIVENER TORONTO (CP) Crowbar, the biggest blues and rock group to emerge from Canada since The Band, has signed a three-year recording contract with Paramount Records of New York.

Agent Frank Davies said Crowbar's first album, Official Music, went so well in Canada it frequently sold out in big-city record stores that the group decided to try its fortunes south of the border. The Hamilton-based band is led by Richard Newell, who performs under the pseudonym of King Biscuit Boy. Richard started his fortunes with a Hamilton high school group and soon found himself on the professional circuit, blowing great blues on his harmonica at one-night stands. Then he studied harp after hearing the instrument played by the late Little Walter on a Nashville radio station. "I just freaked out at the sound of it," he recalled.

By 1967, the young blues cat had worked his way to Helena, where he met Ronnie Hawkins, Canada's rock-a-billy-gone-south. On the lookout for a harpist as an innovation into the rock scene, the Hawk was impressed with Richard's ability and hired him. The Nashville promot er called Richard King Biscuit Boy after a regular radio program sponsored by the local King Biscuit Flour Co. The name stuck. However, it was the Biscuit's way of bringing the harmonica to life that ranked him with the best blues men.

Travelling through southern Ontario for more than two years, he gathered a huge following of blues fans who could not believe anyone north of the Mason-Dixon Line could play such blues not even the great Paul Butterfield. Biscuit Boy now is looking for a new angle to develop on the old New Orleans blues theme because "I can find no major change" in the rock scene at present. Explaining his methods, the band leader said ho doesn't write much music down until after he and the Crowbar first play it through. Ho explained he often walks around for a week with little fragments of a new number floating around in his head, then he gets the group together to jam the piece out. Biscuit Boy said the band's first album was composed a day before the recording session.

His Biscuit's Boogie, Hoy Hoy Hoy and Badly Bent on Officir Music are powerful demonstrations of his creative ability. Although the Crowbar play; mainly for pleasure, they are looking forward to a little money, especially their leader. "That's what I want now money," said Biscuit Boy. Richard thinks there is -great future ahead for his -band. Lead guitarist Ray John Gibbard on slide guitarist Roland way, Blake Fordham on piano, Sonny a great drum-mer, and King Biscuit Boy make the group whose music Ronnie Hawkins calls "tighter than a mouse's ear." King Biscuit said he enjoys playing blues "because kids today want to be happy." As for the future, he said Crowbar is going on a tour of the United States and will probably journey to England.

Among its findings are teenage commitments to fighting pollution and poverty which, says SEVENTEEN research NEW YORK The 1960's-illusion about the rich, recklessly spending and rapidly multiplying segment of the under-25 population has given way to a fear of a turned-off generation that keeps its muney in its faded cans. In the sombre '70s, business attitudes toward youth as a customer and an influence on adult buying runs from reevaluating concern to confusion and disenchantment. "The big youth bubble has burst," asserts Hugh Edwards, director of the Research Guild, a Chicago concern whose youth directed clients include Youth Dala Magazine. Business is discovering that the youth market is not every seller's market, Edwards went on, and that as consumers they are behaving dif A re-ordering of youth consumer priorities which puts music stereo equipment that adults are pressured to buy for them and records, tapes and rock concert tickets that they pay fur themselves and mobility, with consequences for auto makers, airlines and educational tour operators at the top of ihe list and traditional clothing and haircuts at the bottom.

Whether the bicycle fad will survive the first snowfall is no more predictable than how long other youngsters will badger their parents to buy only lead-free gasoline and beverages in returnable bottles. However, some definite indications have emerged to pose a challenge to consumer-oriented business and service industries. For the young of every economic bracket, status has moved from conspicuous consumption to a posture of non-materialism. The hippie look has reached last year's villager-clad suburban co-ed and such intellectual youth idols as Yale Professor Charles Reich whose best-selling corporate culture attack, "The Greening of America" is required reading for worried businessmen.
