¶ Soon bound for Chile and ten more weeks of training are 42 of the 50 volunteers at the University of Notre Dame. Largely planned by Notre Dame's president, the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, their goal is better farming and lower infant mortality (eight of the women are nurses) in Chile's hardscrabble Central Valley. So poor are the valley's campesinos that almost any contribution is bound to be visible. Putting themselves under orders of Chile's Institute of Rural Education. Notre Dame's corpsmen (ages: 19 to 40) hope to teach hygiene, nutrition, child care, introduce simple games such as volleyball, build chicken coops where chickens now run wild. What they hope for, sums up Bob Woodruff, 23, "is the chance for personal contact instead of dollar diplomacy. This country is too fat, physically and intellectually. It's our duty to help.''
