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.
