GO VERNMENT STRUCTURE:
Notes Chinese State's Stability

Thuma Cites Problems,
Potential of New College

ACROSS CAMPUS:
Museum To Present Special Exhibit

By ALAN Z. SHULMAN
"While the Chinese state system
after the third century B.C. un-
derwent many changes, it was the,
most stable government in history,
and survived every challenge put
to it for 2000 years," Prof. Charles
0. Hucker of Oakland University
said yesterday.
He noted that China was able,
to maintain her great stability due
to two characteristics in her state.
structure.
"First, throughout this period,
the Chinese state was unitary and
authoritarian. Unlike the West,
China never developed any con-
cepts of popular sovereignty,
state's rights, checks and bal-
ances, or separation of powers."
Monolithic Structure
"The whole of China was mon-
olithic with the emperor at the
top, the bureaucracy in the middle
and the people at the bottom,"
Prof. Hucker claimed.
"In the West, we feel govern-
ment is only one power in a so-
ciety where business, churches and
the mass media are rivals for in-
fluence of the people. In China,
state and society are a single
unit."
Though no aspect of Chinese life
was ever wholly free of govern-
ment control, China was' by no
means totalitarian, Prof. Hucker
said. Many factors in the tradi-
tional Confucian Chinese state
acted to temper its despotism.
"According to Confucian teach-

(Continued from Page 1)

ings, the emperor was the son of
heaven. But never ruled by divine
right in the Western sense. "This
obligation as heaven's servant on
earth imposed on him a heavy
burden." Prof. Hucker noted.
"Heaven could withdraw its
mandate. Indeed, any successful
rebellion was thought to be evi-
dence of heaven's disapproval."
"In addition to its responsibility
to heaven, the government was
held to account for the economic
prosperity of the state," Prof.

Hucker said. To this end, the
Chinese state developed extensive
monopolistic controls over im-
portant commodities.
Government Regulation
The government became involv-
ed in the building of canals, in
the regulation of currency, in ex-
tending credit to farmers in times
of national disaster and in the
regulation of prices to prevent
violent fluctuations in the econ-
omy.
Welfare-statism, a phenomenon
we tend to associate with very
modern times, was present in
China a millenium ago, Prof.
Hucker pointed out.
"Government by example was
the second important aspect of
the Chinese state system," Prof.
Hucker said.
In order to maintain and glorify
the Confucian order of things, the
state republished ancient Chinese
writings, established public
schools, supported private schools
and honored the virtuous.
Commenting on the present
Chinese government, Prof. Hucker
cited many similarities between it
and the ancient Chinese state.
"Government in China is still
geared to elitist rule, even one
man rule and efforts to change
this haven't gotten anywhere," he
said. "The Communist cadre, col-
lectivism, democratic centralism
and state glorification of the
workers all have their parallels in
ancient China."

college into divisions and some
departments into sub-departments.
"Should this be the will of the
faculty, a committee on reorgani-
zation should be set to work im-
mediately, because time is of the
utmost essence.
"It is now proposed that the
literary college take 4-500 new stu-
dents next year. We will have
little or no additional space.
"This means that this coming
year the faculty must accept more
noon classes, more late afternoon
classes, more evening classes, more
Saturday classes," Dean Thuma
warns.
-Another possibility is setting
up University campuses outside
Ann Arbor. "This I cannot accept
as a desirable solution," he asserts.
Branch campuses are likely to
have poorer libraries and labora-
tories and lower academic quality
than the Ann Arbor literary col-
lege, and "the literary college
would have no more control over
them than it now has over Flint
College," Dean Thuma says.
'U' Junior Colleges
-A variation on this theme
would be the University's estab-
lishment of junior c o 11 e g e s
throughout the state, while "dras-
tically reducing or eliminating
freshmen or sophomore students
on this campus," Dean Thuma
suggests.
-A more radical suggestion,
"which has been proposed before

and always rejected out of hand,"
would be to eliminate all under-
graduates from the University.
However, Dean Thuma envisions
"violent repercussions" from fac-
ulty, administration and alumni if
this were tried.I
In addition, the literary college
must consider new teaching tech-
niques, he says. These include us-
ing closed-circuit televised lec-
tures, piped into dormitories or
special classrooms het aside in the
evening. This move may be neces-
sary by next year, Dean Thuma
predicts.
One Condition
-Finally, the residential college
idea as a means of expansion
"seems to commend itself to me if
at least one condition is met."
This condition, Dean Thuma ex-
plains, is that it "be located away,
from Central Campus to slow down
the increase in the density of stu-
dent population in the area. It
should, however, be no farther
than North Campus.
"Admittedly, even this distance
presents some difficulties in trans-
portation and access to the library.
But these disadvantages, I think,
are more than overcome by the
advantages of holding down over-
crowding in Central Campus-and
especially by contributing to the
staff and students of the new col-
lege a geographical and psycholog-
ical feeling of unity and identity,"
Dean Thuma comments.
The proposal the faculty will
consider was drafted by a literary
college faculty committee and re-
leased last spring. It calls for the
establishment of a new division of
the literary college in which stu-
dents who live together also take
many courses together. This would
be achieved by having classes in
the dormitory -units and by sim-
plifying the curriculum.
One of the major aims of these
policies would be to create a small-
college atmosphere while retaining
the benefits of a large university.
