David Riesman '31, Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences, has been named to the Peace Corps's National Advisory Council by President Johnson.
The 24-member council plans a fullscale study of Peace Corps recruitment policies, Riesman said last week. "The Corps needs brilliant young people," he explained, "and it's not sure that it's been reaching them."
