By BILL JEFFRIES
The question of the origin of
the words "much" and "many"
was discussed by Prof. Albert,
Marckwardt of the English depart-
ment Tuesday night in his talk,
"Much and Many: The History of
Modern Englsh Distributional Ps t-
terns."
The word "much" had its origin
in the Old English word "mycel"
and meant great, pertaining to
size, while the word "many" had
its origin in the Old English
"monig" and meant many in the
sense of many a book or many a
man.
To indicate quantity the word
"fela" was used. Over a period of
centuries the word fela disappear-
ed and much and many become
modified to their present day use.
Adapt New Words
In addition new words are
adapted from other languagesto
replace much and many in their
Old English use.
According to Marckwardt, the
use of the word fela, in referring
to quantity, was last used in 1598.
It was, however, used with the
sense of "much" until the late,
16th century.
The word "many" seems to have
the forms of monig, manigne,
moni, and monega before arriving
at the present spelling which
shows up during the 15th century.,
'Much' Evolves
Much goes through several
phases as mitch, micel, mycel an;
in dialect even to muckel and
mickel, Marckwardt indicated.
Marckwardt said that one diffi-
culty in teaching English to non-

Board Grants
Co-operative
Authorization
The New York State Board of
Regents has granted a corporate
charter to a five-college co-opera-
tive which plans to pool resources.
The co-operative which will be
called the College Center of the
Finger Lakes includes five schools
in New York and Pennsylvania. It
will eliminate duplication of costly
low-attendance courses by unify-
ing them in one college.
They will also combine library
facilities so that all students will
have access to rare and expensive
books.
The group plans to cut adminis-
trative costs by purchasing sup-
plies jointly, taking out joint in-
surance and using the services of
a co-operative printing center.

Asians Face
Education
Challenges
Prof. Richard Anderson of the
University of Hawaii cited the
antivocational bias, student un-
rest and "examination hell" as
some major factors involved in
education today.
Prof. Anderson joined Prof. Wil-
liam Medlin of the education
school and visiting professors Rob-
ert Leestma and Francis Drag in
a panel discussion on "Education
in Asia" Monday night.
The Philippines stood out as an
exception to Prof. Anderson's
major comments with the pos-
sible exclusion of an antivocational
bias.
All of the panalists placed con-
siderable emphasis on the fact
that Asians, as part of their Con-
fuscian heritage,rhave an anti-
vocational bias, or "white collar"
attitude about manual labor which
makes education particularly im-
portant to them.
They believed that the best cure
for educational problems. in Asia
was decentralized finance and
government control.
The panelists thought the major
contribution the United States
could make was showing Asians
the ways of implementing Demo-
cracy.
"Examination hell" Prof. An-
derson explained, is a very impor-
tant period of testing to deter-
mine whether a student is per-
mitted to contiue his education.
The examination period, he said,
has such strong effects that the
examinations dominate education
until they become an end in them-
selves.
In many Asian countries, edu-
cation occupies a large portion of
the national budget, the panelists
pointed out. Leestma said that in
Thailand education spending is
second only -to overall economic
development, with defense spend-
ing occupying a third place posi-
tion.
. The Philippines spend more on'
education than any other single;
item.
