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.

the world.
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.
The moderator for the discus
sion was Jim Kimball.

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.
