Wang Says Exchange Programs Have Pitfalls
Tung-Ching Wang, teaching assistant in the chemistry department, told the Faculty Forum yesterday that a cultural exchange program including students from underdeveloped countries is "full of pitfalls."
He said Chinese students educated in the United States between 1910 and World War II became westernized. Often they did not want to return home and sometimes they lost their understanding of native Chinese problems.
"WESTERNIZED" MEN BECAME unduly prominent in the (Chinese) government and neglected peasant problems, he said. Since a degree from any Western college guaranteed automatic prominence, a Western education was often used as a stepping stone to political position.
Most Chinese students who studied abroad came from large cities, he said. These students were not too familiar with rural China before going abroad and were even less so after westernization.
Mr. Wang said many returning Chinese students became university professors before moving on to politics. Their educational activities centered in Shanghai, an already highly westernized city, and they did much to westernize their students. These westernized students and professors became the leaders of the pro-Communist Chinese government, he said.
MR. WANG ATTRIBUTED the downfall of this (Nationalist) government at least partially to the westernization of its leaders. Although the Nationalist movement began as an agrarian reform government, it lost touch with the peasants. He said the Chinese Communists took up the discarded peasant cause and thereby were able to drive the Nationalists from the mainland.
MR. WANG SAID HE favored cultural exchanges with underdeveloped countries but stressed that great care should be exercised in planning such exchanges.
"To send an American professor out is better than to bring a foreign student here," he said, adding that foreign students sometimes leave the United States filled with hatred because they are overly sensitive and easily offended.
Asked to comment on the Peace Corps, Mr. Wang said he is rather
Olympic Champion To Attend Banquet
A sidelight of the Brotherhood Banquet tomorrow night — which may turn out to be a highlight — will be the appearance of Rafer Johnson, Olympic champion.
He will be interviewed by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe about the People-To-People program.
Johnson has been on the west coast on a tour, and is scheduled to be back in Kansas City today.
Rick Barnes, former KU student, said Johnson has been on a P-T-P tour of various colleges in California.
The Brotherhood Banquet will be held in the Kansas Union Ballroom at 6:30 tomorrow evening. The principal speaker will be Michael L. Freed, personnel director of the Samsonite Luggage division of Denver.
Tickets for this 16th annual banquet are $1.75 and will be on sale until 5 p.m. today at the Human Relations department office, Room 5 Strong Annex C; at the Round Corner Drug Store, and at the Plymouth Congregational Church. Those unable to get tickets by 5 p.m. today may call Mrs. T. W. Moore, VI 3-8926.
To Brush or Not to Brush?
CHICAGO — (UPI) — A professor of pathology warned yesterday against being too enthusiastic about teeth brushing Sumter S. Arnim, director of the postgraduate school of dentistry, University of Texas, Houston, told the 97th midwinter meeting of the Chicago Dental Society that some persons are so overenthusiastic in their personal oral hygiene procedures that they overbrush and underclean their mouth and teeth.
cubious about the Peace Corps idea. He explained his position, saying that the Corps could have tremendous value to Americans sent abroad but the foreign country involved would benefit more from experienced technicians and teachers.
He said that a Presidential visit is one of the most effective good-will measures in an underdeveloped country because it flatters the country's pride. They want trade and recognition instead of financial aid, he said.
"To many countries this (financial) aid is an insult."

control of West Irian, and has threatened to seize the territory by force if the Netherlands refuses the demands. The Dutch insist on self-determination as a basis for a settlement.
The United States and United Nations Secretary General Thant have used their offices to try to bring about a settlement. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy discussed the matter with Sukarno during his recent visit to Indonesia.
Maj. Gen. Achmad Jani, spokesman for the West Irian "liberation" command, hinted yesterday his government soon may open negotiations with the Dutch. He said after a meeting of the National Defense Council and the operational staff for
