Page 2 -The Michigan Daily-Friday, September 18, 1987 Prof. addresses Chinese reforms IN BRIEF By JIM BRAY -. Prof.-Liu Guoguang, vice presi- dent of the Academy Of Social Sci- ence in China, asserted in a paper presented last night that China "suffered from technological back- wardness" and ii it did not reform its economic system, there would be no road out for China modernization. Liu does not speak English and his comments were read b y University Economics Prof. Berry Naughton. He was on hand last night to answer questions through a translator. In an attempt to increase produc- tivity, China has experimented in many forms of management, accord- ing to Liu. "The key is to find fur- ther ways to separate ownership and management," with "public owner- ship as the main form in coexistence with many other forms of owner- ship." WHEN QUESTIONED about the ideological implications of capitalism in China, Professor Liu replied, "when public ownership is the main form in the economy, there is no real fear of capitalism forms diverting the economy." Furthermore, Professor Liu strongly rejected "any suggestion that China is moving towards capitalism." Professor Liu said that China will remain in a dual system of partially state-run and partially market-run economy, and "remain in a marxist framework, but not in the rigid fashion that is self-defeating to the Marxist objective." The presentation was part of the Eckstein Lecture Series organized by the Center for Chinese Studies. Pro- fessor Mike Oksenberg of the Eco- nomics Department presented Pro- fessors Liu's first text on economic reform in China Tuesday. In his texts, Liu described eco- nomic reforms undertaken by China during the last decade. The first set of reforms, according to Liu, referred to the period of 1978 to 1984 where the "primary emphasis was in rural ADVERTISE IN THE MICHIGAN DAILY reform involving a retreat from the commune system and a return to the household as the basic unit of orginizing agriculture production." ACCORDING TO LIU, the second set of reforms from 1984 to. the present was urban reform "moving away from tight central controle over individual enterprises" to expand the autonomy of the management. The final set of reforms to be in- acted by the upcoming Thirteeenth Party Congress on Oct. 25 was characterized by Liu as "an expan- sion of the reforms...concentrated primarily upon the economic realm, and the broad policy guidlines...of comprehensive reform expanding to the political and cultural domain so that the environment in which the economic reforms will be carried out will be conducive to those reforms." As accomplishments that have been achieved under the reforms, Liu said "a large number of measures have been undertaken...within a cer- tain definite scope to even permit private enterprises...joint enterprises with foriegn concerns, and even wholly-owned foriegn ventures in China." China has also started to "contract out, lease, or even sell small enterprises to individuals," ac- cording to Liu. ( Now Open in Ann Arbor " C.P. Shades " Big John Jeans " Pepe SID# " Girbaud " No! Compiled from Associated Press reports Ford, UAW settle strike DEARBORN - Ford Motor Co. and the United Auto Workers agreed on a precedent-setting contract guaranteeing the jobs of most of Ford's 104,000 UAW workers in return for the support of union leaders for more flexible work rules. The contract, which must be approved by union members, also would boost wages, pensions and other benefits. Under the tentative settlement, Ford would set guaranteed job numbers for plants and could lay off workers on a temporary basis on- ly if an economic downturn combined with a slump in Ford sales. The job protection package would be the first of its kind in the U.S. auto industry. Previous contracts protected incomes rather than their jobs. FBI seize Shiite hijacker WASHINGTON - A Lebanese man indicted for masterminding the 1985 hijacking of a Jordanian airliner with four Americans aboard was plucked from the Mediterranean Sea by FBI agents and returned to the United States yesterday to stand trial, the Justice Department announced. Fawaz Younis, a Shiite Moslem, was being arraigned before a U.S. magistrate in Washington on charges of hostage-taking, conspiracy, and destruction of an aircraft, which could result in a term of life imprisonment if he is convicted, said FBI and Justice Department officials. Younis was intercepted Sunday morning by the FBI on a small boat in the Mediterranean, transferred to the U.S. aircraft carrier Saratoga, and then flown to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington without touching down in a foreign country, said FBI, Justice Department, and Defense Department officials. Sen. Biden explains errors WASHINGTON - Sen. Joseph Biden admitted yesterday that he committed plagiarism in law school 23 years ago but dismissed the furor over his failure to attribute the words of others in his speeches as "much ado about nothing." At a Capitol Hill news conference, the Delaware Democrat and presidential hopeful released law school records that disclosed his plagiarism at Syracuse University in 1965 and said, "I did not intentionally move to mislead anybody." Biden declared he will fight on for the Democratic nomination. Biden repeatedly suggested that the sources of the stories about his speeches and law school record came from his opponents, although he said he could not identify any one campaign, Republican or Democratic, as the source. Tobacco tax boost urged LANSING - Michigan should make its cigarette tax one of the highest in the nation to fund an $86.4 million effort to treat impo'erished AIDS victims and fight tobacco use, a state senator said yesterday. Sen. William Sederburg (R-East Lansing) unveiled a 10-point package of legislation linking the two health issues and allocating $75.3 million for the AIDS effort. Of that, $48 million would pay for treatment of AIDS patients without insurance or ineligible for government aid. Another $15.3 million would pay for free confidential testing and counseling for every person in the state. While $4 million would be spent on AIDS education, including sending a packet of information about the fatal disease to every Michigan household. 4 4 4 .I .

Well, now you may have reason to. Sometime between now and New Year's Eve, some schmoe will' swallow a bite of turkey or chicken that will push per capita consumption of poultry ahead of beef for the first time. Meat gets no respect. According to the Agriculture Department's forecasters, the average American's consumption of poultry - mostly broilers and turkeys - will average 78.2 pounds this year, compared with 75.9 pounds of beef. And in 1988, those figures are expected to go up to 82.8 and 72.8 pounds, respectively. Come on, America, let's get back to our roots. Meat. It's an American tradition. Let's eat meat, for Babe Ruth, for apple sauce, for Humphrey Bogart, and most of all, because chickens are sowimpy. -By Steve Knopper with wire reports If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY.
