EXCHANGING IDEAS
Lasting Works Shown at Library
By ERNEST ZAPLITNY

A display entitled "The Bridge
of Books" now at the General Li-
brary is helping to debunk Rud-
yard Kipling's adage about the
East and West never meeting.
To be featured through the
month of July in the library's main
lobby are books, old and new,
from the timeless East amid samp-
les of Western literature about
Asia and Asians.
Selected classics in their original
language are shown, as well as
translations of notable works from
either side of , the diminishing
East-West barrier.
Medium of Understanding
"Books are a medium of under-
standing," says G. Raymond Nunn,
in charge of the Far Eastern Li-
brary of the University Library,
who assembled the display.
"They are a principal means of
exchanging ideas between our cul-
tures." He adds that research is
enriched and knowledge broadened1
by possession of classics in the
original.
Ancient wood-block printing
and palm leaf manuscripts demon-
strate that literature is more than
the art of book-binding.
'Lasts A Thousand Years'
"True literature lasts a thou-
sand years," write Tu Fu, a Chi-
nese poet of the eighth century
and the exhibited translation of
I-ching (Book of Changes) as-
cribed to King Wen, circa 1150
B.C., is effective testimony that his
words are not mere eloquence.
Of interest are volumes of In-
dia's twin epics, "Ramayana" arid
"Bhagavad-Gita;" the latter
("Song of God") is counted among
the world's great philosophic
works.
There is a Japanese translation
of "Merchant of Venice." A vol-
ume written in English by a Ja-
panese professor, on Sandro Boti-
celli is part of an accepted stan-

dard work on that Renaissance

Reflects Thinking
The exhibit reflects a wide range
of thinking and activities of the
two cultures. Included are a trans-
lation of "Analects," from Confu-
cius; books written by modern
Asian leaders: Jawaharlal Nehru,
Chiang Kai-Chek, Mao Tse-Tung;
copies and photostats of the re-
cords of a seventeenth century
Japanese feudal.family.
There is a study of coal pro-
duction in Communist China pub-

lished under the auspices of
Rackham School. A Chinese trans-
lation of "Autobiography of Ben-
jamin Franklin" arrests attention
-it was published in Peking in
1956.
The title of one book points to
the idea of the exhibit, and to the
idea of culture exchange in gen-
eral It is a translation by the
American Pearl S. Buck of a popu-
lar sixteenth century Chinese
story. As translated, the title is
a noble thought: "All Men Are
Brothers."

BECAUSE OF THE
DELICATE THEME
ADULTS ONLY I
M~m: .mEM 1R'

Elementary school level physical'
education is the great vacuum in
American education.
This is the opinion of Prof. Paul
Hunsicker, of the physical educa-
tion, department.
Pointing out that most elemen-
tary school children in the United
States do not have regularly sche-
duled physical education classes,
he adds that 91 per cent of our
elementary schools have no gym-
nasium and a sinilar percentage
lack play space areas..
"Teachers," he stresses, "should
recognize that there is a tremen-
dous gap between what is being
offered and what the child is cap-
able of doing "
Child Can Learn
Calling for a "more challenging"
program, he contends that, among
other sports, skiing, golf, skating,
basketball, bowling, wrestling, and
tennis can all be taught to the
child.
Noting that some teachers will
argue a lack of space for such
sports, he submits that this does
not prevent teaching the skills and
Marra Says
Good Timber
Seen Again
Timber will again soon become
an important product of Michi-
gan, according to Prof. Alan A.
Marra of the School of Natural
Resources.
For years the Pacific Northwest
States have held a monopoly on
the panel wood industry because
of the high quality timber neces-
sry for plywood.
But, Prof. Marra said, since the
development of particle board, a
new product which promises to
revolutionize the wood-using in-
austry, use can be made of Michi-
gan's low duality trees.
In the past few years, the
' abundant supply of jackpine, as-
pen, and scrub oak has been near-
ly worthless because of the small
size and other undesirable quali-
ties of the trees.
Any kind or shape of wood ,can
be used to make particle board
because the wood is reduced to
chips, slivers, sawdust, shavings
and splinters, and glued together
by a special process. Waste prod-
ucts from other wood using in-
dustries can be used also.
Michigan has one particle board
factory in Hart, and several more
companies have plans to build
more.

lead-up games preceding the activ-
ity.
He contends that the child has
ability to master "college level"
physical education courses "by the
,time he is ten years old." More-
over, the learning rate is often
greater in younger years and the
youngster has more time for prac-
tice than the college student.
'Fringe Benefit'
Prof. Hunsicker deplores tlie fact
that too often physical education
is considered a "fringe benefit."
Nor, he asserts, can "recess" be
considered a course in physical
education.
"The physical education teacher
should realize that the mastery of
a motor skill is one of the few
things which the child retains
throughout life," he says.

"Under ideal conditions, the
child of 13 would have mastered
the requisite sports skills to enable
him to enjoy a variety of recrea-
tional sports."
Take Five Steps
It is Prof. Hunsicker's feeling
that the proper approach lies in
the following five steps:
1) start physical education in
kindergarten and continue through
elementary school;
2) hire able and sympathetic
teachers;
3) make the program challenging
by teaching sports skills and lead-
up games;
4) expand present program con-
tent to appeal to more students;
and
5) make the student realize the
need for taking- part in sports.
