PACE TWO Korean On Soviet Partition By 14ARV KRASN.ANSKY (Ed Note: This is the first in a series of interviews with for eign students no w attending the College.) The partition.of Korea has led to the war that is now ravaging that country, in the opinion of a Korean student on campus. The student, Kyung Ho Lee, a fourth semester sophomore, how ever, says that the United States was not responsible for the par titioning. Putting the responsi bility for the war squarely on the shoulders of t h e Soviet Union, Lee said, "The United States had tried to make Korea one country, but Russia refused." 4000 Years Together The partitioning was a bad move from both a sociological and economic viewpoint, Lee said. "The Korean people have been living together for 4000 years," he added. The North, controlled by the Russians, is the industrial area, Lee said, while the South is largely agricultural. The two areas are one economic unit, he said. Lee. the son of Chang Hyun Lee, former chief of agriculture in the Republic of Korea cabinet and now chief of the, industrial committee in the nation's national assembly, came to the United States in the fall of 1949. Oliver Arranges Dr. Robert T. Oliver, head of the Speech department, arranged for Lee to come to the United States during the latter's visit to Korea. He lived with Dr. Oliver last year, and is now living in the home of Prof. E. N. Baldwin, of the School of Engineering. A resident of the North Korean capital of Pyongyang until 1947, Lee and his family moved from that city because "I didn't want to live in the so-called people's paradise." Tw o million people had moved below the 38th parallel before the outbreak of war, Lee said. The Russians were first wel comed as liberators, but the situa tion soon changed, Lee said. It soon became obvious, he said, that the North Korean government was a nupoet of the Russians. Welcome Assistance Speaking with determination, Lee v o wed that "The Korean people will fight to the last to -2stroy tyranny and achieve freedom. We are fighting the bat tl2 of all freedom-loving people." The Korean people welcome the rssistance of America, Lee said. T'le United States built up a rep utation as a good samaritan in Korea before the war, through rlissionary work, educational, and hn---)ital facilities. Lee. a graduate of Seoul Na tirnal university,•has parents, five asters, and three brothers still in Korea. One brother, 17, is a mem her of the police force. Schultz To Talk To Erpineers Dr. M. A. Schultz, manager of the Instrumentation and Control department of th,e Westinghouse Atomic Power division, will speak on "Control Problems in Nuclear Power Plants" in 105 White hall at 7:30 tonight. Dr. Schultz will address the joint sub-section meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and Institute of Radio Engineers. He will also show film: on atomic power. After graduating from Massa cl-iusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Schultz joined the staff of the Industrial Electronics division of Westinghouse an d was engaged in military radio and radar design work. He was named project en gineer at Photoswitch, Inc. in 1945, and wa s again concerned with military radar. The following : year, Dr. Schultz became section manager at West inghouse Research laboratories in charge of radar, sonar, industrial electrical equipment, and nuclear radiation detection devices. He has ii i s present position since 1949 Blames War Kyung Ho Lee U.S. Can Profit From Foreign College System Americans could well profit from the experience of foreign countries in the field of education, Elsa Gunvor Haglund, of Stock holm, Sweden, told members of the American Association of Uni versity Women at a meeting in Simmons lounge Thursday night. Miss Haglund was one of six foreign students at the College who participated in a panel dis cussion of student life in other countries. Aaron Druckman, as sistant professor of philosophy, served as moderator of the group, which included, in addition to Miss Haglund, Ilia M. Saldar riaga, Peru; Yohan L. DeVries, Netherlands; 'Tariq B. Kham mash, Middle East; Minocher D. Karkhanavala, India; and John Robertson, Scotland. Independent Study Stressed Independent study in colleges and universities receives much greater stress in Sweden than in the United States, Miss Haglund said. She explained that attend ance at lectures was optional and that students exercised a much greater amount of educational freedom. Miss Saldarriaga pointed out that in South America the role of women in higher education is somewhat limited. In Peru, no coeducational colleges exist, and women have a tendency to re main in the home, she said. No Credit System In Scotland, Robertson said, there is no credit system as there is in the United States. Students select courses leading to a par ticular degree, and upon passing the required examinations, re ceive one of two certificates, the "honor" or the "duty performed," commonly known as the D.P. In the Netherlands, also De- Vries said, anyone with ability and ambition can continue his' education. Financial assistance is available through state grants, and many students work while attending college. The main educational problem' in India, Karkhanavala said, was the widespread illiteracy of a great portion of the population. Higher education is limited main ly to those of the wealthier class es, he said, although the state does offer subsidies, based on competitive examinations. In the Middle East,, Kham mash said, the American influ ence is predominant. He cited the American University of Beirut as an example. Following the panel discuss ion, a brief, open question period brought out the students' op inions of the Point Four program.

Associatron Asks Support For Education A conference of professional education association representa tives have . sent up a cry for greater support for basic educa tion.' The National Conference for the Mobilization of Education, meeting in Washington, D. C., late last month, agreed with mili tary advisors and other local, state, and federal agencies that no radically new program was need ed, but rather a general strength ening all up and down the line. Dr. Lloyd M. Jones, who at ended from the College, summed up the general conference opinion that in this pe'riod of mobilization the public education needs greater support, including higher appro priations, although a special edu cation program is not called for. Mathematicians. Sought The present demand of the mil itary is for men drilled in basic mathematics and sciences in con trast with the wide-spread spe- ' cialization pr o gram advocated during the last war. In the field of health and phy sical education, th e conference pointed out the need for a gen eral program to decrease the num ber of men physically unfit for military service. However, it saw little value in instituting special ized programs in military tactics. Program Studied The conference, organized last September as a link between edu cation and government agencies, met to study the impact of mobil ization on instruction in the schools, along a four point pro gram: 1. Civil defense and the pos sible us e of inland schools as evacuation centers. 2. The need for extension of school services downward to young children and upward to adults. 3. Preinduction education of youth who will be entering the services. 4. Increased citizenship training to strengthen democracy. Addi tional meetings will be held in Washington in March. Charter Sought For Nittany-Polloek Barons Pollock dorm council passed a motion Monday night to send a letter to the dean of men to char ter the Barons of the Nittany- Pollock east area, a new social group.

Optimism Justified The former GOP governor of Minnesota, and present head of the University of Pennsylvania said that he believed grounds for optimism in world affairs were justified if "our administration will follow through with its long range foreign policy." "But we must," he added, "constantly call, the administra tion to account for mishandling of foreign affairs subsequent to World War Two." Explaining some of the reasons for his optimism, Stassen said we know there is trouble in the Sov iet Union because of domination, and that there is trouble within the Red army itself.
