China Conference Planned To Send Students Abroad ▼ The International Education Center is working on implement ing a completely new idea for a conference. This conference will be on China—but it won’t be like any other conference the University has had before. The idea is to send students out to various spots in the world to make contacts with govern ment officials and students in for eign countries, to establish a communication line between the countries and the University. In this particular case, the stu dents would plant themselves in several world capitals winter term and make contacts with gov ernment and student groups and elicit opinions on current United States Policy toward Communist China Form Panel The students would return in the spring and form a panel, which would compile a report of their findings and submit it to the State Department. The group would then set up a conference here at the University to inform the student body of what they’d found. The conference is still in the planning stage. The IEC has re ceived a $2,000 grant from the Sperry and Hutchinson Company to help finance the conference. And they’re hoping for financial help from the Institute of Inter national Studies and possible out side sources as well. The IEC is now trying to so licit opinion as to where the students would like to go if they were on such a trip, what parts of the world they think should be visited, and what stu dents should look for as they travel. ineyve inuugiu lemauveiy ui such capitals as London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Moscow, pos sibly Taipei, and even Peking, for visits. Are Students Interested? They are also interested in how many students would be interest ed in taking part in a conference. It has been set up as a program for the general student body — in fact, Tom Cox, IEC director, said that all ASUO officials have ruled themselves out as possi bilities for the trips. Experience in the language of j the country to be visited is desir- i able, the IEC says, but not ab solutely required. Interested students can submit their ideas to the IEC office in room 315 of the SU. These should be submitted before November 1L Cox describes the program this ■-i Today's Events 9:00—SDS Information Table, Terr. 10:00—Homecoming Buttons, Terr. Shaherezad, Terr.

Difference in Contacts Ed Reyes, Student Union acti vities director, who’s been work ing on the idea with Cox, remark ed that "there’s a difference be tween contacts made by officials and those made by students. "Students can get contacts with youth groups and elements of so ciety that older people cannot.” He said he thought that the program would stimulate great er interest here at the Univer sity if students themselves were directly and actively involved. Reyes noted that many critics feel the United State’s policy toward China will eventually lead to a military conflict between the U.S. and China. He feels that the establishing of communications such as those in this program might help preclude such a con flict. But Reyes and Cox see the con ference primarily as a method of proving student maturity and responsibility in setting up their own educational programs. To use a traditional conference situation, they say, would be a reinforcement of the "vertical transmission process in learning” —the teacher as the sender, the student the passive receiver. The new idea, if implemented, would provide a test for the "lat eral transmission” concept, where by the student teaches as well as learns, in Reyes’ view. And, Cox says, “(conventional) conferences are getting to be old hat. You need a new innovation to stimulate interest.” A.S.U.O.
