In Y-Dialogue Indian Student Takes Firm Stand on China By ALLEN BAILEY Associate Editor The atomic bombing of Red China and North Viet Nam if they fail to negotiate a settlement of the dispute with the United States within three years was suggested by P. K. Kuriakos at the YMCA Dialogue Tuesday. Kuriakos. a University student from India, said that the United States should be firm in its de mands for negotiation as a settle ment of the struggle, but if the Viet Cong and the Red Chinese don’t agree to a settlement, nu clear bombings will force them to do so. “Five or six atomic bombs in different parts of China and one in North Viet Nam" should be sufficient for that purpose, he ex plained. Speaking as an Indian, whose native country traditionally has followed a foreign policy of neu trality, Kuriakos said he was “in a bad position to justify the pol icy of Americans in Viet Nam.” Follow “Right” Course “Our policy has been that, if Americans say something right and the Russians say something wrong, we join hands with Amer ica, and vice versa,” he said. When India has a problem, its elected leaders (India is the old est democracy in Asia) take the course of action they think is right, he continued. “We have found that commu nism has been growing very rap idly, step by step, . . . and one thing we have to bear in mind is ‘do we want communism to rule the whole world?” Kuriakos asked. He said that the communist idea of “one world”—a world society under one government which provides all of man’s needs YD's Plan Vote On ASUO Stand The University Young Demo crats met Tuesday, but conducted no official business, due to a lack of quorum. However, a statement passed by the club’s executive commit tee on Jan. 21 was read. It will be voted upon at the YD meet ing on Tuesday. The statement said: ‘ The ASUO senators were not elected on the basis of politi cal beliefs and their primary function is not to pass resolu tions on off-campus events. They should attempt to stimulate dis cussion on these issues. If a state ment is going to be expressed as a position of the ASUO, we rec ommend that it be expressed in a referendum held by the ASUO Senate and not as a resolution passed by that body.” YD’s will meet Tuesday for their election meeting. ROTC Exams Set For June Camps Dates were recently released for the schedule of physical ex aminations for sophomore men in terested in the two-year program offered by the ROTC. Col. Embert A. Fossum said that the dates of the summer camp, held at Ft. Knox would be June 12 and June 19. X-ray examinations for the prospective cadets are being con ducted at the present time, with the medical team slated to arrive for the remainder of the examin ation in the middle of February. The summer camp replaces the first two years of ROTC training m• at the University. It is six weeks long and the graduate becomes a cadet in the brigade at the Uni versity for his upper division work in ROTC.

Communists Gaining Communists, if they keep up their present rate of gaining con-1 trol of countries, will dominatej the world in 40 to 50 years, the speaker said, citing the great number of countries which have come under communist rule in the last 20 years. “However,” he explained, “the I days of Karl Marx are gone,” and many of the conditions which ex isted when he was alive no longer exist. Kuriakos said that the appeal of communism has lessened since Marx’s days and that most Asians are more inclined toward demo cratic forms of government. He also emphasized the need for Asian countries to resist a com munist take-over. “As things stand at present, you (the United States) cannot get out of Viet Nam,” because the South Vietnamese must not be allowed to fall under com munist rule, he said. Use Violence “If you have to use violence to do something good for a. . . nation, go ahead and do it,” Kur iakos explained. He is very much in favor ol negotiations which will end the war, though, he said, even if North Viet Nam is allowed to remain under the control of com munists. A Korean student in the audi ence disagreed with the speaker, saying that, even though he thinks most Asians are not in favor of communism, they should be able to choose their own form of gov ernment. A Chinese student from May lasia said he believes that bomb ing China and North Viet Nam would only evoke similar response from communist countries, and the U.S. would be the victim. China Not Hurt Another objection he stated was that China would not be hurt at all by such bombings, since the country is already over-populated and wouldn’t feel the loss. America, he said, should re main on the defensive in Viet Nam, wait for North Viet Nam and China to make the wrong move, and take advantage of it “It’s not by dropping the bomb that the South Vietnamese will learn that communism is wrong,” he concluded.

Ford Motor Company is: diversity Larry Moore B.M.E., Univ. of Kan$ai The college graduate’s initial exposure to tlu world of business Ls often less than exhilarating. The reason? A great many companies require the recent graduate to serve a long-term apprentice ship in a role that offers little or no opportunity to demonstrate personal capabilities. That is not the way at Ford Motor Company. Our College Graduate Program brings you into contact with many phases of business, encourages self-expression and helps you—and us—determine where your greatest potential lies. An important benefit of the Program is getting to know and work with some of the most capable people in industry. One of many young men who believes he has gained tremendously from this exposure and experience is Larry Moore, a Product Design engineer. After receiving his B.M.E. in February, 1964, Larry joined our College Graduate Program and began work in brake design. Stimulating assign ments followed in product evaluation and disc brake development. Later, he learned production • techniques while supervising one phase of the Mustang assembly line operations. An assignment in our Truck Sales Promotion and Training Department added still another dimension to his experience. The “big picture” of product development was brought into focus for Larry when he became associated with Thunderbird Product Planning. From there he moved to the Special Vehicles Section . . . into the exciting world of high-performance cars! Currently, Larry Moore is on leave of absence, studying to acquire his M.B.A. degree at Michigan State. He feels—and rightly so—that we’re 100 percent behind his desire to improve his educational background. Young men with talent, initiative and ambition can go far with Ford Motor Company. Think about it—and talk to our representative when he next visits your campus. The American Road, Dearborn, Michi(an An equal opportunity employer
