SHAVE HITLER SAVE AMERICA Chinese War Attitude Explained by Dr. Kuo By ROSS YATES Dr. Zing Yank Kuo, Chinese educator and scientist, said Thursday, in a round table discussion following a luncheon at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, that the Chinese people are not fighting for personal gain, but to free the Japanese from their present leaders. This announcement summarizes his idea of the Chinese attitude toward Japan. .Dr. Kuo explained that the Japanese leaders and not the people are responsible for the present war. “The Chinese do not dieam of any material compen sation after the war," he said. Ex plaining his statement further, he remarked, “We should raise the war motive to a higher level. We are fighting' a crusade to a bet ter future.” California Degree A native of China, Dr. Kuo earned his Ph.D. at the Univer sity of California. He is small in stature and has a constant smile. His English is remarkably good. While still in college he started his first scientific experiments with rats and cats, publishing his B.A. thesis as a result of this work. When asked about these experiments, Dr. Kuo laughed and explained that they were on ly a sideline. Dr. Kuo is at pres ent conducting experiments on the development of the chick em bryo. As a psychologist and scientist Dr. Kuo has been a professor in three universities and is president of the National University of Chekian in Hangchow. In com paring Chinese with American schools, Dr. Kuo said, “We have been copying literally everything from this country.’’ The big fault of American uni versities, according to Dr. Kuo, is that they are too much like trade schools and do not empha size the idea enough of cultural betterment. “In China it is a scholar who is important,” he ex plained. “The first seats in a party or dinner will be given to a scholar.” Dr. Kuo also thinks that Am erican universities are wrong in their methods of teaching. “The idea of achieving scholarship should be one of the important methods to inspire students,” he stated. ‘‘The ambition should be for intellectual achievement.” Teaching Methods * Of his teaching, Dr. Kuo said, ‘‘I give the students inspiration and tell them what their prob lems are.” He does not believe that students should have the aid of the teacher in working out their assignments. China’s attitude toward the war is passive, Di\ Kuo pointed out. ‘‘Nobody complains, every body suffers.” The people are cheerful and optimistic; there is no grumbling. Chinese Food Dr. Kuo explained that China has only asked the United States for war materials, not food. “Fruits, vegetables, and rice are the chief foods. There is almost no fish in Chunking. I was tt. two years and ate fish I think it was only twice.” There is, how ever, lots of sickness. “What worries me most,” remarked Dr. Kuo, “is that the young people that go to college and high schools have signs of malnutri tion.” On being asked Whether the government controlled businesses in China, Dr. Kuc replied, “China is an agricultural country. Be cause of this it is impossible for the government to control busi ness.” Dr. Kuo will be on the campus until Saturday night. He claims that he likes the campus and is enjoying his visit immensely.
