WEDNESDAY. FEBRUAI Dualism Most Striking Feature Of Middle East, Adams Says Dualism—modern society existing side by sice with an old culture was stressed as the most striking characteristic of the Far East's social and economic life by Dr. Doris Adams, assistant professor of economics. This is an old phenomenon since it existed in the days of ancient poor farm lands surrounded Grad School Information Available Upperclassmen considering graduate study will find informa tion. on the major areas of study and financial assistance available at graduate schools throughout the country at the receptionist’s desk in 104 Willard.

Nasty Flareup- (Continued from page four) the country. This front aligns it self with the National Unity party of former Premier Ismail A 1 Az hari, demanding at least national defense ties with the Egyptians. The present Sudanese govern ment. giso has felt Moscow pres sure. The Russians have been castigating it because it turned down offers of Soviet economic aid. similar to that accepted by the Egyptians. In the background is the future of the Nile waters.

However, she said, this situa-[ tion is becoming even more prom-; inent since the people of the Mid-j die East have decided that they want to do away with their life of poverty. Thus it is a race against time for the governments of. these countries to satisfy their inhabitants, she said. According to Dr. Adams, there are three main causes of the pov erty that now exists: • Scarcity of natural resources • Population pressure • Low productivity In most of these countries, she! said, there is little mineral ore and the timber supply has, been depleted. Although" there is a large amount of fanning area most of it is underdeveloped. - Probably the biggest reason for the low per-capita production is the underdeveloped private in vestment, she said. Since she spent most _of her time in the Middle East in Iraq, Dr. Adams said this situation exists even there although it takes in more in revenue from the sale of oil than it can spend. She explained this by the theory that the government seems to work under— "if you build the physical facilities, oth er requirements such as train ing and materials will follow automatically." This seems to indicate a lack of incentive, she said. She called the lack of incentive also the reason for the low farm productivity. In her questioning of large landowners in Iraq, they told her they gave their peasants about 50 per cent of their profits. But she said, “They knew how much money was necessary to keep each individual family alive until the next year and it is my hypothesis that that is what they usually pay them.” In this case the income is un related to the effort put forth and for this reason the peasants would not give their best efforts, she said. Dr. Adams also stressed that a negative incentive exists be cause peasants believe if they improved the land they live on, the owner would evict them and move his own relatives on to the improved land. “This fault could only be cor rected by a tenure system such as they have in Iran,” she said, “so the peasant would be assured occupancy for a certain period of time.” ing to do with Egypt's projected Aswan high dam scheme, never has been reached. Sudan's com mand of the Nile worries the Egyptians. Thus, any pressure against a largely anti-Egyptian government might be looked upon by .Nasser as a form of Nile water insurance. Nasser will be willing to gamble a good deal for such insurance. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYI VANIA Frigid Weather Makes Proxy's Staff ' Punchy ' \ Think • this extended frigid weather hasn't affected anyone? Well unlax, because the latest group to succumb to the State College winter is the secretarial staff m President Eric A. Walker’s 'office. The floor was tittered with tittle circular pieces of paper that gave any nonchalant visi tor the impression that the win , dows had been left open during the last snowfall. The first explanation was thati the secretaries were merely hav ing a private Mardi Gras in the office. But after much prodding, and many querulous looks, the truth emerged. Early in the day Miss Eleanor Ferguson, secretary to C. S. Wyand, vice president for de- j ▼elopmenl, had accidently turn- j ed the paper punch upside down, spilling the remains of many days of punching holes in many official papers. This weather is making every one punchy.
