"Since that time, the people of Liu Lin have gone from living in caves to stone houses, as well as cultivated their land, leveled their fields, built dams, and dealt with the erosion that's wearing away their land. The village has its own government- funded cooperative medical system, Myrdal said. This system, is made possible by the villagers' taking medical courses, which enables them to treat various minor illnesses. Major illnesses are treated at a local hospital. MYRDAL, WHO ,is on a three-week tour of the U.S. with his wife, stressed that education has improved vastly in the country-side and the wide gap that once existed between urban and rural education has closed considerably. Set- ting up daycare centers in rural villages has enabled rural children to start school at the same age as urban children, Myrdal said. "These advancements are the result of much discussion and debate," he emphasized.

So make the Great Escape this weekend... with Greyhound. to occur overnight." Most people in China understand that an egalitarian society can never be achieved because different work requires different pay, Myrdal added. "IF ONE FARM worker is weeding the fields and the other worker is digging up and hauling rocks from the field then the latter worker will earn more money because his job is harder," said Myrdal. China's paucity of wealth has a great impact on education, Myrdal said. "Lack of resources and facilities prevent many young people from at- tending college," he said."This is a big problem because many young people wish to further their education and can't. Myrdal explained that once young people have graduated from high school they are required to spend two to three years on a commune. After ser- ving that term, they can be selected by their commune to attend college, he said. However, the number of ap- plications' far exceeds the number of available positions. MYRDAL SAID he supports the policy of sending city youth to the coun- try-side because it closes the social gap between urban and rural youths, and may permit youths to become familiar with technological advances. The Chinese people are looking for- ward to higher standard of living and believe that the modernization of the agricultural and industrial economy is necessary to achieve a better way of life, according to Myrdal. "MOST OF THE Chinese people are highly motivated," he said. "They desire particular goods, such as bicycles and sewing machines, but they realize it will take a long time to achieve these goals, both personal and national." He also said closer military ties bet- ween the U.S. and China would help curb Soviet imperialism. "The Chinese believe the U.S.S.R. is the most aggressive super power on the earth today," exclaimed Myrdal. "To answer this threat the Chinese are modernizing their army and defense systems, and are seeking closer diplomatic ties with the U.S." Advertisement Daily Photo by PAUL ENGSTROM Swedish author Jaxn Myrdal, renowned China scholar,.spoke Sunday eve- ning at Schorling Auditorium of the School fo Education in an event spon- sored by the U.S.-China Peoples Friendship Association.

After the photography buff moved in- to South Quad he discovered that, sure enough, there was a darkroom waiting for him. The catch was that none of its equipment was ready to be used. SHAPIRO APPROACHED then South Quad Building Director Max Smith asking that the film developing facility be renovated. The University will provide the money, he was told, if students do the .work Two years, a term of football Satur- days, and $700 of his own money beyond dorm funds later, Shapiro has made the South Quad darkroom the best on cen- tral campus. "MY SUMMER earnings and the fact that my father is a good sport is what is currently keeping us going," said Shapiro. "But it really is just a matter of time until the darkroom is self- sufficient and my investment will be returned. " The South Quad darkroom, which opened last January, charges a $7.50 lab fee to dorm residents and $10.00 to outsiders. Photographers are allowed the use of equipment and chemicals, but must furnish their own paper. IN ADDITION to individuals, the Art Collaborative, a University-run arts program, holds its lab and class at the darkroom Shapiro built. "We try to maintain fairly tight security, but we also try to leave the room (open) to students," Shapiro said., "We take pride in our facility and hope that those who use it will too." Five other dorms provide darkrooms, but none of them are as well maintained as the.South Quad facility. Stockwell tried to muster interest in photography last year by offering lessons, but Building Director Ruth Ad- dis says only one resident expressed any interest. _ UNION TERMINAL-116 W.

Here is the date we'll be on campus: TUCK SCHOOL Case vs. Theory It is generally agreed that the overall objective of an MBA education is to prepare students for responsible careers as managers. However, the question of which methods a school should use to achieve this objective continues to arouse discussion and debate. For some academicians'and many practitioners, the answer is to give students a thorough understanding of current business prac- tices and a massive exposure to practice in making management decisions in both real and simulated environments. For others, particularly some academicians, the objective is to cram students full of skills, techniques, theories, and prin- ciples. Indeed, much of the discussion among academicians and practitioners has taken place in terms of these two polar views of how a school ought to prepare people for careers in manage- ment. For Tuck, however, the argument of theory vs.practice involves a false di- chotomy. The School believes that both are important and must be a part of a successful program. Theories, tools, and principles are vital components of an MBA curriculum. As change erodes exist- ing practices and builds up new and different challenges, nothing is more practical or relevant than sound theory. But theory by itself is not enough. The hallmark of the effective manager is to be able to apply theory in ways that lead to sound judgments and decisions. Next edition: Who Attends Tuck?
