19 University Daily Kansan Page 3 Pakistani Bureaucracy Called Necessary, Though Frustrating Bureaucracy is both a necessary factor in the development of Pakistan and a frustrating factor in the lives of the people, a KU professor said yesterday. James Drury, professor of political science, spoke on "Perspectives on Pakistan" to the Faculty Club. He was in Pakistan recently for 18 months under the sponsorship of the University of Southern California. "Red tape has become a way of life to the Pakistani almost." Prof Drury said. He cited their agriculture program as a good example of this. PROVIDING FARMERS with certain types of seeds is part of the agricultural program, he said. Recently red tape tied up an issue of seed potatoes so long the farmers received them too late to plant them. The result was that they rotted in a warehouse. Citing another example, Prof. Druray said that "I know of a Pakistan who went to pay his taxes, with the necessary money, and it took him three days because he got tipped up in red tape." THE PROFESSOR said the reason for these foul-ups is bureaucratic procedure. He said that checking and rechecking by different offices often causes this slowness. But despite these problems, the approximately 300 top men in the country's government β€” the Civil Service of Pakistan β€” are able men. Prof. Drury said. This elite corp faces many complicated problems, including trying to rule a country The government is also the source of "status conscienceness," which is very prevalent in the country. "Government jobs carry a lot of prestige in the Pakistani society," Prof. Drury said. divided by 1,000 miles of India. "IF YOU HAVE CSP (Civil Service of Pakistan) behind your name, you have instant credit and access anywhere," he said. Pakistan is composed of two wings est. which are complete difference. East Pakistan holds 55 per cent of the population, while the remainder lives in the West wing, Prof. Drury said. Pakistan has the six or seventh largest population in the world. "WEST PAKISTAN is composed of deserts and mountains, while the East wing is irrigated by rivers," he said. "The only fragile link that exists between the two wings, is their religion, Mohanmedanism." ALTHOUGH THIS division is the major problem of the country, it is not the only one, he said. Illiteracy is another. "Illiteracy is alarmingly high in this country," Prof. Drury said, "but many people blame the under-development of the country not on illiteracy, but on the people's lack of motivation." The people have the technical know-how, or the chance to learn it, and they have the necessary equipment, he said. PROF DRURY said that agriculture also presents another of their problems β€” salinity. The water Viet Cong Guerrillas Escape After Battle With Troops MY THO, Viet Namβ€”(UPI)A band of 100 Viet Cong guerrillas engaged a 2.000 man government force in a pitched battle near here yesterday and then slipped away through tunnels which ran under two canals. U. S. military officials who were with the South Viet Namese government forces told of the tactics used by the Communist rebels. They said the guerrillas left 14 dead but killed 20 government soldiers in the battle. Trails of blood along the line of retreat indicated they carried some wounded with them. The government force tried to surround the band in the two tiny hamlets of Xom Chua and Ap Tan Toy on the eastern edge of the Plain of Reeds, just west of this Mekong River delta town. THE AREA is only three miles from Ap Bac, the site of a bitter battle earlier this month in which guerrillas inflicted heavy losses on a large government force. The officials said the guerrillas first dug into foxholes yesterday and tried to defend the hamlets. South Viet Namese rangers, infantrymen, civil guards and a company of armored personnel carriers moved in under cover of heavy air and artillery bombardment. They thought they had the little band surrounded but when they finally swept over the area they found only the 14 dead in foxholes. The guerrillas had slipped into tunnels which ran under two nearby canals, under the village houses and into the surrounding jungles, making it almost impossible to find them. "WE HAD hoped they were the same bunch that fought at Ap Bac." said one official after the battle, "but I don't think they were." American helicopters helped take out the wounded but played no other role in the operation. An all out search continued today for an American reconnaissance plane missing since Thursday in the guerrilla-infested central highlands of Viet Nam. Monday, Jan. 14. 1963 evaporates so fast in some regions of the country that the soil is full of salt. The result is that crops refuse to grow. Problems were not the only thing he found in Pakistan though, Prof Drury said. He also found a rather unusual educational system. For instance, lectures are given by one teacher, but an external examiner gives the examination, and it doesn't have to conform to what the lecturer has said, Prof. Drury said. MANY TIMES, he said, students will simply walk out of an exam they think is too hard, go to the administration, convince them it is too hard and get the examination changed. Grades, or division level as they call them, are very important in obtaining jobs in Pakistan, Prof. Drury said. First and second division applicants will usually get a job, while a third division applicant will have trouble, he said. A leading British economist and visiting member of the University of Kansas faculty will appear on a program with former Governor Alfred M. Landon in Topeka Wednesday. Alec Nove, Rose Morgan distinguished visiting professor, and Landon will explore questions related to "The Common Market and the Cold War" at a public meeting of the Topeka International Club. Prof. Nove, recognized as a Western authority on Soviet economics, came last September from the University of London, where he taught Russian social and economic studies. KU Professor and Alf Landon To Appear in Topeka Program Anil Mehta, Bhavnagar, India graduate, believes the dating custom is the cause of early marriage in America. Foreign Students Say Dating Here Different "The American boy and girl start dating when they are in grade school," Panayotis G. Danos, graduate from Greece, said. "It is not a permissible custom in Greece." "We don't have such a custom in India," he said, "but a girl in India would not meet a boy at a private place, unless she likes him." "An American girl goes out with different boys at the same time," Giami Meji, special student from Costa Rica, noted, "but, a Costa Rican girl will not go, generally, with more than one boy." Shortly after he returns this month to Great Britain, he will become professor at the University of Glasgow. He will head a new department there which will concentrate on underdeveloped areas and international trade. He also will be senior editor of "Soviet Studies," one of the oldest scholarly journals in the field. HE SAID THE dating custom in America has lessened the charm and excitement of marriage. IN INDIA marriages are arranged by parents. Boys and girls meet casually, and get to know each other well. It is not called "dating" in their social structure. Prof. Nove is the author of "The Soviet Economy" and co-author of Dating in America is too frequent and begins too early, according to a poll of seven KU international students. By Vinay Kothari Mejai said American girls have different meaning of love, passion, and caresses. In Costa Rica, a girl will allow a boy to kiss her only if she loves him, he said. SAUDI ARABIA FRESHMAN Mohammed Ashgar said it is more pleasant to go out with native girls. "We had marriages arranged by parents 10 years ago, but it is different now," he said. A boy and a girl have to get approval from their parents for their marriages.

"American girls marry at young age for security and social status," she said. BASUKI WiWOHO. Indonesia, junior, said it is not difficult to support a family in the United States. "But it is very difficult to marry when you are young. To support a family in Indonesia is not an easy task," he said. "Marriages take place usually when a man is 25 and the woman is 23." Thailand senior Pramon Sutivong summed up the whole issue and said, "Young marriages, very often, end in divorce." "Trade with Communist Countries." He is writing a third book on "Economic Development and the Communist Challenge." Landon took an active role in advocating the passage of the Trade Expansion Act by the last session of the U.S. Congress. The meeting will be his first public appearance in Topeka since passage of the new trade legislation. FREE PROSPECTUS-BOOKLET tells how to acquire shares of UNITED ACCUMULATIVE FUND through...
