terested in pursuing careers in academia, he said.
"They're preparing for more pragmatic qualifications than just studying language and literature," he said.
Enrollment and politics
James Carothers, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said almost all foreign language departments had experienced a recent enrollment increase.
"In the last three or four years, there's been an increased willingness on the part of students to study foreign language." Carothers said.
Enrollment in first-semester Chinese language has increased 90 percent this fall, from 20 to 38, Tsubaki said. First-semester enrollment in Japanese language was unchanged at 32 students.
Besides reflecting the trend toward foreign languages and the increase in the overall KU enrollment, the department is working on an increased interest in China, Tsubaki said.
"There's still a certain mystique with mainland China," he said, explaining that unlike other East Asian countries, China is just now moving dynamically toward a more modern society.
Kansas' interest in expanding trade with China is one example of China's increasing importance in international business.
KU began offering Chinese classes in fall 1959 and Japanese in 1961.
But until recently, Japanese attracted more students because of the greater possibilities of dealing with Japan, Tsubaki said.
Interest in the Chinese language increased after President Nixon made his historic visit to the People's Republic of China in 1972. But the surge subsided when people realized that the opportunities to deal with
Joseph Kuo, associate professor of East Asian languages and cultures, said enrollment suddenly increased nationwide after the United States normalized relations with China in 1979.
China were not expanding as quickly as they had expected. "Tsubuki said.
Tsubaki said the increased enrollment at KU this fall reflected a national trend that had begun on the coasts about five years ago and finally was reaching the Midwest.
"Chinese is just coming to the normal stage." he said.
Whvstudv Chinese?
Since spring 1975, Kuo has taught outreach classes in Chinese at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
This year, a graduate student is teaching the classes. She is continuing the tradition of offering the classes between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Sundays to accommodate the students.
The class consists of doctors, business people, teachers, high school students and others who want to do business with China or want to visit for research or travel, he said.
"There are man people who want to learn Chinese," said Kuo, a native of Tainan.
Greg Quirk, Kansas City, Mo.
senior majoring in East Asian
languages and cultures, wants to
participate in KU's exchange program
with the university in Nanjing in
Nanjing Province next year.
He and his classmates in Kuo's Intermediate Chinese I class agreed that the language often was frustrating, the first year being the worst.
Non-Western culture
While Bond is majoring in Chinese language and literature. Quirk is majoring in East Asian languages and cultures.
The culture degree requires at least two years of either Chinese or Japanese and 25 credit hours of other classes in the department and in other departments such as art geography and political science.
"Art history is by far the strongest学科 in Asian studies at KU. Taubik said."
Starting next fall, incoming freshmen working on bachelor of arts degrees in the college will need one class in non-Western culture.
But East Asian culture classes aren't just for Chinese or Japanese majors.
Students will be able to meet the requirement by taking a class in a department such as East Asianthropology, history or African studies.
"It's an enormous gesture on the part of the college administration to recognize the importance of broader, well-informed students on world affairs," Tsubaki said.
Carothers said the college had been considering the addition for four or five years because the faculty did not sound by a provincial sense of culture.
"We believe that all of our students should have some exposure to a non-Western culture," he said.
However, because of budget constraints, the University has been unable to promise additional financing to accommodate the anticipated increased enrollments.
Tsubaki said department faculty members were nervous about the heavier class load.
"We're apprehensive, but we want to do our best," Tsubaki said.
Other languages stressed
Oriental languages aren't the only languages that departments are
Although the art history department emphasizes Japanese and Chinese for participants in its highly regarded Oriental art history program, the department recognizes the importance of language for all of its majors.
Stephen Addiss, chairman of the department of art history, said that art's close ties with culture made knowledge of a foreign language and culture crucial.
"The students know that it's going to be a real addition to what they're doing." Addiss said.
Addiss said the department encouraged its majors to take French or German because most critical art was written in those languages.
Like other students pursuing bachelor of arts degrees in the college, departmental majors must complete a course requirement of 16 credit hours.
stressing
The importance of language skills is nothing new to art history majors, but it may be to some business majors.
David Shulenberger, associate dean of business, explained that some professors always had wanted a foreign language requirement because they saw it as an important part of a liberal education.
Shulenberger said that 15 years ago, international trade accounted for about 5 percent of the U.S. gross imports for about 20 percent of the GNP.
What tipped the scales, he said, was the pragmatic realization by other professors of the changing realities of world trade.
Starting this fall, students planning to enter the School of Business need four semesters of a foreign language. This will be followed by four semesters of a combination of both
Spanish has become awfully important," he said, because it is used throughout the world.
Joseph Kuo, associate professor of East Asian languages and cultures, teaches Chinese to his class.
On the other hand, students who are interested in international trade and who want to specialize may find Chinese or Japanese useful, he said.
Employment outlook
Diane Mielke, assistant director of the University Placement Center, said many career options were open to students with language skills.
"I think a student can use the language in any kind of capacity." Mielke said. "They have to decide how they want to sell that."
"In general, most recruiters recognize the kind of discipline it takes to study a foreign language," Mielke said.
But language skills alone are not sufficient, she said, because employees have well rounded people who have good communication and leadership skills.
Job seekers also need to be critical of their linguistic abilities, she said.
"To really learn a foreign language, you need to spend time abroad," she said.
Employers also recognize the importance of foreign experience, as indicated by the job description for a position in the Department of Economic Development.
Kirk said the department was looking for someone with a college degree who was fluent in Japanese or German and who had had at least one year of international business experience.
But those language skills can be useful, she said, pointing out that a former classmate was a vice consul in Shanghai.
"It really helps open doors if you use their own language." Kirk said.

"People are studying language not only because it's interesting, but also because it is very important."

Louisville loses three in tourney
The Associated Press
Louisville head coach Denny Crum, a firm believer that a rugged early schedule gets his team ready for the NCAA basketball tournament, has found it tough in the Great Alaska Shootout.
The defending national champions dropped to 0-3 after losing to Texas 74-70 Sunday in the seventh-place game at Anchorage. Texas had lost 80-68 to Alaska-Anchorage Saturday.
Ranked No. 2 in the preseason poll, Louisville lost to Washington 69-54 Saturday in the consolation round after being beaten by Northwestern 88-84 in overtime Friday night.
"If I was really concerned about winning, we'd be playing at home." Crum said after the Washington setback. "But I want the kids to learn and that's why come to a tournament like this.
"We are a young and inexperienced team. We are going to make mistakes."
In the Shootout semifinals Saturday, Iowa beat N.C. State 90-89 in overtime and Northeastern topped Utah State 96-91.
In tournaments decided Saturday. No. 5 ranked Nevada-Las Vegas beat Western Kentucky 96-95 in double overtime in the National Invitation Tournament; No. 6 ranked Georgia Tech 67-62 in overtime in the Central Fidelity Classic; No. 9 Navy scored a 91-90 victory over Michigan State in the Spartan Cutlass Classic; No. 14 Illinois defeate.

Runnin' Rebels win
Zone defense helps UNLV in over
United Press International
NEW YORK - A zone defense helped head coach Jerry Tankaran's free-wheeling Rummin Rebels win the classic Invitation Tournament classic.
The Runnin' Rebels used a zone defense in the half of regulation time, a move that helped Nevada-Las Vegas rally from a 16-point deficit with 10 minutes left. The third-ranked Runnin' Rebels scored a 96-95 double-tie victory over Western Kentucky.
("it ULLV's zone defense" won) the game tonight," said Tarkanian. "We could not guard them man-to-man inside. They were too strong. If we had stayed in the man-to-man they would have beaten us by 15 or 20 points. We haven't practiced more than ten hours on our zone defense all year. That's incredible that you can spend hours against defense and have it bail you out in a championship game of a tournament."
Freddie Banks, who finished with a game-high 31 points, converted his 3-point shot with 13 seconds left, which won the game for the Runnin' Rebels. With UNL Viking 95-48, Arion Gilliam missed the shot and grabbed a few balls as they passed to Banks at the top of the key Gilliam finished with 23 points.
"Ive said all along I think it's a very bad rule," said Arnold. "Tonight was a prime example. If the object of our game has come down to see how many people can make them more than 20 feet from me, maybe we should be forced of our sport. I don't think a game should be decided by heaves from over 20 feet when people do not penetrate or get good shots."
Western Kentucky Coach Murray Arnold has been a critic of the three-point rule.
Martin sent the game into overtime on a shot with 11 seconds left in the game. Martin's shot was the third by Kentucky during the possession.
Western Kentucky's Tellis Frank hit a bank shot with 8 seconds left to tie the score 84-84 and send the game
into double overtime. Frank lee Western Kentucky with 25 points, followed by Kannard Johnson with 23. With 1:30 left in the first overtime, Gilliam's basket gave UNLV a 84-81 lead. A minute later, Clarence Martin made one of two free throws. UNLV's Gary Graham rebounded the missed second shot and lost the ball out of bounds.
Nevada-Las Vegas, 40, overcame a 21-point first-half deficit behind the 3-point shooting of Banks and Graham. The Runnin Rebins trailed 61-45 midway through the second period, but outscored Western Kentucky 32-16 the of the second half. Graham scored 8 straight points during a 26-7 run that turned a 63-49 deficit into a 75-70 lead with 2:12 left. The score was tied 77-77 after regulation.
The Runnin' Rebels, taking more chances as they tried to get back in the game, fouled out three players in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Mark Wade, Richard Robinson, and David Willard all left with five fouls. Gerald Paddio also fouled out in overtime.
The Runnin' Rebels defeated two ranked teams to win the NIT. They beat No 18 Arizona, No 7 Oklahoma, and Temple before eliminating Western Kentucky. The Hilloppers beat Notre Dame, Texas Christian, and Memphis State to reach the finals.
The Hilltoppers, behind 15 points from Frank, led by as many as 21 points in the first half. The Runnin' Rebels shot an abyssal 21 percent in the opening period (8 for 30) and then shot a team-breaking 31. Hilltoppers, 3; could have opened a bigger lead, but converted on 19 of 30 free throws.
Manning said, "The score was no indication of just how well they played. They did the things that went wrong and were lucky to come out with a win."
Guard Mike Meschede was the top scorer for the Pacers with 14 points. Forward Andrew Joslin added 12 points.
Meschede said that fighting the height of the Jayhawks wore the Pacers down in the second half.
"We wanted to play zone to take away their inside game." Meschede said. "We wanted to take it at them and we did. We played hard."
Manning was the game's leading scorer with 26 points and 15 rebounds. Pritchard added 13 points. Mark Pelleck scored 10 points. Mark Pelleck scored 10 points.
Hunter added eight points for Kansas and had six assists.
"We need to get back down to earth and realize we can't step out on the court and win."
Brown said that newcomers on the team had to start asserting themselves more.
"We've go to find people that can step forward and lead the team," he said. "Kevin Pritchard is doing it somewhat, but Randall, Pellock and the other have to show some leader's skills. But we just be the Danny and Cedric show."
Pritchard said since most of the new memebers of the team had played in the game against the Soviet National team they were more prepared for the game against Tennessee-Martin.
