I9~ Asia Culture Study Asked ByEducator By DONNA HANSON Chih Meng, arector of the China Institute in America, located in New York, thinks there should be more women in the United States legislature. "In Formosa," he said, "there is a law which makes it mandatory that one out of every ten persons j elected to the legislature should be a woman. Women in the family and community have, half voice, why not in the legislature? he asked sagely. Meng, however, did not journey to Ann Arbor to comment on equality of woman, but rather to attend a conference designed to promote Asian culture among the teaching professions. This type of promotion coincides closely with Meng's work in the Institute which mainly offers- courses to teachers of Chinese history and culture. The Institute also administers scholarships and fellowships and aids in job placements for Chinese visiting professionals and students in this country. "Since 1950 we have placed more than 600 Chinese scholars in Am- erican faculties," Meng noted, "particularly escapees from Com- munist China." An important purpose of the Ann Arbor conference which Meng at- tended is to get. foundations and institutions interested in giving courses on Asian cultures. "The plan is to offer courses on a broad survey on Asian nations and then branch out to specializations," Meng explained. "We mainly want to inform people about this cul- ture." Meng said that the conference will try and accomplish this by first appointing a committee to raise money and engage universi- ties to give summer programs, and then broaden out to giving regular courses during the year. While visiting the campus, Meng "paid my respects" to University President Harlan Hatcher. "President Hatcher," he observ- ed, "has a winning personality and his observations on free China and Formosa are very keen."
