India Interest in Western Literature Recalls '30s, Shulenberger Says
"The interest shown in Western literature by the people of India is much as it was in the United States in the 1930s," Dr. Arvid Shulenberger, associate professor of English at the University of Kansas, says.
Dr. Shulenberger recently returned from India, where he held a Fulbright exchange grant to teach American literature at Aligarh Muslim University near New Delhi.
"Actually there is little knowledge of American literature in India, but what there is tends to follow along the lines of social reform literature, as it did here in the 1930's. Surprisingly, the most widely read and admired authors are Pearl Buck and Howard Fast."
Fast, who was a Communist but
later denounced Communism, is the author of "Citizen Tom Paine."
"The most fashionable author among the intellects in India is T. S. Eliot," Dr. Shulenberger said.
Aligarh Muslim University, where Dr. Shulenberger taught, is a traditionally Moslem university that is now one of the national schools.
"A number of American, British Canadian and other foreigners teach there. Accurate enrollment figures are not available, but it is somewhere between 3 to 5,000 students. The medium of teaching is English, but 'British' English, not american," Dr. Shulenberg said.
"The University is advanced in theory but not in practice. It is
primarily a liberal arts school founded on the British model. The library facilities are good and are growing rapidly with foreign loans and gifts, but the library isn't used very much.
"Because the universities observe all the holidays—Christian, Moslem, Hindu and others—about one out of every four days is a school holiday. There are no papers or examinations until the end of the year."
"The aims of most Indian students in the universities are first to pass the national examination to become a government civil servant, second to be a teacher, and third to be a businessman." Dr. Shulenberger said.
Equal Time Not FCC Author's Intent
WASHINGTON — (UPI)—Take it from the author himself: the Federal Communications Act never was intended to nail down equal newscast time for political candidates.
Tall, burly Clarence C. Dill, a former senator from Washington state, wrote the first communications law in 1927—"when radio was breaking out all over."
Dill also drafted the Federal Communications Act of 1934, which is still the law of the land for radio TV, telephones and telegraph.
Dill, a Democrat, says he is being quoted freely in connection with the uproar over the Federal Communications Commission's "equal time" ruling.
"When these things come up after 32 years. I feel like I'm coming out of a tomb," he said.
Dill. a colorful conversationalist, thinks the FCC "made a mistake" in its interpretation.
"I think they were wrong," he said. But he is against changing the wording of the law for fear it will open a "Pandora's box" of trouble.
