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.

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

way: ‘We feel it is worth more
to send students to 50 or 100
experts, and bring the students
back here, than it is to spend
money on four or five speakers to
come here.”
Cox thinks there would be
more sources, and better ones —
available to the students through
this method.
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.”
