TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1963 PAGE TWO TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1963 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.
