-trrr peace corps "31 or none!" This is the determined motto of a tiny, but determined, clus- ter of Portland State students-Peace Corps volunteers in the PSC Turkey VII training program. And, after 720 demanding class hours in less than two months, all 31 gradu- ated on Aprll 23, making Portland State the major training center for Turkey-bound corpsmen. Ot 325 vol- unteers in Turkey, Portland State has prepared 195. The corps is attracted by the college's Middle East Studies Center, one of three or four institutions in the na- tion capable of training volunteers for the Middle East. Oregon stands high in the corps oth- erwise, too. The state is highest in volunteers per capita in the nation.
