Indian professor criticizes

"Please forgive me, but my
heart is full. Twice my father was
arrested for fighting for freedom,
and no American helped him,"
said Prof. Dhirendra Sharma.
Sharma, a philosophy professor
from India now teaching at Mich-
igan State University, was re-
sponding to a speech made Mon-
day by University President Rob-
bin Fleming at the Campus Ecu-
menical Center's annual interna-
tional dinner in the First. Pres-
byterian Church. Dr. Andrew Roy,
vice-president of Chung Chi Col-
lege in Hong Kong, also appeared
on the program.
Addressing a group of 300 for- 
eign students, Sharma said, "It is
your moral obligation to remain
polite, but tell the, truth to Amer-
icans. Convey your ideas that one
day we can make a better world."
Sharma criticized the United
States strongly saying, "it de-
strayed my dreams." He said, "I
came to this country expecting the
highest level of literacy and cul-
ture, and America disappointed
me."
Sharma also said that American
democracy has subverted other
countries. He cited Ho Chi Minh,
who was educated in the western
world, as an example.
"America is subverting us be-
cause we go to their houses and
they show us their high standard
of living. Then we go back to our
countries and are dissatisfied. We
try to make a revolution in our
countries and the United States
calls us Communists."
Sharmna concluded by asking
Fleming two questions. "Why, if
America" has a commitment to
freedom and liberty does it spend
so much for human destruction,"
and "why does a government that
is ,the defender of freedom and
liberty have a House Committee
on Un-American Activities?"
Fleming had spoken on the
American university and interna-
tional education. He expressed the
need for cultural exchanges to
bring countries of the world to-
wards mutual understanding. He
went.on to explain the many prob-
lems that are encountered in at-
tempting to exchange professors
with foreign universities.
"There are many fields that
cannot be effectively pursued in
other countries." Fleming cited his
own profession of labor mediating
as' an example.".-t i
Sleming explained that it is
often difficult to fill the vacancy
left by a professor who has been
sent to a foreign university.
:Fleming, also said that differ-
ences 'between the standard of
living ,of American professors
°abroad and that of, the country's
own teachers often lead to resent-
ment. "The Americans live as close
as possible to their own level of
=living in the United States, Wvhich
is usualy higher than that of the
foreign country."

WASHINGTON () - An order
that his men salute in rear areas
according to custom or be sent to
the fighting front has been can-
celled by an Army division com-
mander in Vietnam.
The turnabout was announced
yesterday by an Army spokesman
at the Pentagon soon after a terse
announcement had been made
about the rule: °
"The Army considers this a mat-
ter of concern for the local com-
m and,"
This in. effect bucked the "prb-

lem to the U.S. commander in
Vietnam, Gen. Creighton W.
Abrams.
The Army, officials here clear-
ly indicated, was embarrassed af-
ter Maj. Gen. Charles' P. Stone
confirmed he had laid down the
saluate-or-fight policy for his 4th
Infantry Divisi.'
One high ranking source had
predicted, "I think reason will
prevail."
Stone had said on Monday in
Vietnam that transfers camne
''only after a flagrant violation"~
of the custom of saluting superior
officers.

A state-wide conference of "Old

exhaust their own supply of pro-
fessors who want to go abroad,
they are forced to recruit from
other schools in order to fulfill
their contracts," Fleming said.
"This reduces the university to a
broker in man power."
Fleming also discussed the prob-
lems encountered by foreign stu-
rents and professors in this coun-
try. "They must make cultural and
often drastic climate adjustments.
They are faced with the 'problem
of providing for their families and
educating their children."
He said that because teaching

salaries are higher in this coun-:;
try, "the American university
bears th? burden of compensating
the visiting professor for this
country's higher cost of living and
the expenses the professor in-
curred in' moving his household.";
-Many foreign students who
come from less developed coun-
tries become interested in pur-
suing their fields on "the frontiers
of knowledge," according to Flem-,
ing. "This is not possible in their
country, so the students want to
remain in the United States. They
are then, faced with their moral
