By PHILIP MUNCK
Six regional Universities and the
130 colleges composing them hold
the key to the educational and
scientific future of Pakistan, Mu-
haipmad S. Huq, Pakistan's Cul-
tural and Educational Attache to
the United States, said yestrday.
Huq explained that his country
is currently re-examining its phi-
losophy of education. This same
re-examination, he added, is going
on throughout the world.
He said that, like many coun-
tries, education in Pakistan has
been based on a system similar to
that in England. This means that
only a limited number of students,
competetively chosen, are allowed
to attend college.
Educate People
"We now feel," he said, "that
our task is not merely to turn out
a limited number of highly edu-
cated people for positions in gov-
ernment and a few commercial
jobs, but -rather to educate the
people."
He said further that everyone
must have a basic, minimum edu-
cation to live together in a com-
munity. This he said is now Pakis-
tan's goal.
At the time of Pakistan's in-
dependence, in 1947, he explained,
there were 3.4 million students in
elementary schools. There are now
5.6 million and, under the current
five year program, Pakistan will
try to put another million into
school.
Faces Shortage
Because of this new influx of
pupils, the country faces a critical
shortage of teachers as well as
the ever-present need for scientific
personel.

Hitler. At that time she moved to
Putten, Holland, where she main-
tained a workshop.

Influenza Virus Prefers

Conference
To Host Group
Prof. Walter Sindlinger of the
education school, will open the
28th annual Parent Education In-
stitute Nov. 6 with an address in
Rackham Lecture Hall.
Theme of the institute will be
"Growing Up in Modern Amer-
ica." Prof. Sindlinger will speak

tension Service and the Michigan

cases which cause the more seri-
ous effects." he continued.
Prof. Brown explained that it
is impossible to have complete
confidence in the flu vaccina-
tion, because there are so many#
substrains of virus. Immunity to
one doesnt mean a person can't
catch another over which the
vaccination has no control.
In all four types has been iso-
lated -A.,B.,A., and A".
Prof. Brown traced the history
of the flu from the epidemic of"
1918, whichkilled 20 million peo-
ple, through the more recent
epidemics.
The 1957 type flu started in
Hong Kong, but is believed to4
have been carried there from
Northern 'China or Russia. Brown4
suggests that it might have been
another "Russian first."

States).
This, he explained, is why Pakis-
tan has entered into aid programs
with the United States and other
countries.
Under these programs, students
from Pakistan are sent abroad to.
become engineers, teachers, spe-
cialists, scientific personel.
Given Scholarships
These students are sent to school
either through Pakistani govern-
ment scholarships or joint Pakis-
tani and American scholarships.
Under the next five year pro-
gram, these trained students will
furnish the basis for establishing
new science departments and the
enlargement of existing facilities,
he said.
Already, Huq said, two new poly-
technic institutes, two home eco-
nomics colleges and 12 technical
high schools are being planned for
the near future.
Help Adults
He added, that this is not the
whole problem. "If we can give all
children the education they need,
we are still faced with a huge adult
population which has never been
to school and without their educa-
tion our country will remain eco-
nomically agricultural."
Huq explained that his Job as
cultural attache involved mainly
three functions:
1) Taking care of Pakistani stu-
dents in the United States,
2) Promoting cultural exchanges
between the United States and his
country and
3) Keeping Pakistan informed
on current developments in educa-
tion in this country.
Promote Exchange
In addition, he added, he assists
in promoting the exchange of sci-
entific and educational personnel

the largest groups in the United
between the United States and
Pakistan.
"We are currently exchanging
students with five American uni-
versities," he said, elaborating on
his country's exchange program
with the United States.
The schools trading students
are: Texas A&M with Dacca Uni-
versity, Washington State Univer-
sity with Punjab University, Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania with Kara-
chi University, Colorado S t a t e
University with Beshawar Univer-
sity and New Mexico A&M with
Sind University.
These students, he explained,
will help enable Pakistan to ac-
complish its goal to "supply educa-
tion to all future citizens and raise
the living standard of common
men to a decent level."

Financial Aid
For Colleges
Support for higher education
in Michigan was the subject of a
discussion by the governing
boards and presidents of the nine
state supported colleges held yes-
terday at the University.
Also discussed at the meeting
was the present enrollment pic-
ture in the state.
Both problems discussed are in
the "urgent" category for higher
education in Michigan. The dis-
cussion was focused on financial
aspects of the problems, especially
on the needs for 'scholarships and
loan programs.
University Regent Roscoe 0.

Interviews with 125 workers in
a highly automated Detroit fac-
tory has revealed that they pre-
fer their jobs to those that are
non-automated.
The interviews were part of a
study on automation made by
William A. Faunce, of the Michi-
gan State University Department
of Sociology and .Anthropology
and the Labor and Industrial Re-
lations Center.
The decrease in handling of
materials and physical. effort
were two of the principle factors
in the preference for automation,
according to Faunce.
He also said that workers feel
that automated jobs hold more
interest and offered a greater
challenge and more responsibility.
There were, however, a number
of criticisms of automation, the
most common of which was the
feeling of isolation it brings.
"Machine noise, increasing dis-
tance between work stations and
the need for closer attention to
work is decreasingrthe social ex-
changes b e t w e e n workers,"
Faunce elaborated.
Among other complaints, work-
ers deplored the increased super-
vision by foremen and superin-

tendents, the increase in tension
due to the constant attention and
great speed necessary, and alien-
ation from the job.
This last is caused by a grow-
ing lack of control over the 'work-
once laboriously acquired are now
ing speed, and the fact that skills
unnecessary.
