Work study to receive $400,000
By Susan Pedersen

An additional $400,000 will be available for both new students and those who are currently involved in the work-studv program, said Linda Berkshire, associate director of financial aid.
Due to a federal computer error, the university learned in June that it would be receiving an additional SI.3 million in government subsidies to be used for the work-study program in the 1979-80 school year. This brought the total amount of money to be used for work-studv to S3.5 million, some SI.5 million more than the previous year.
The added funds will go to-
ward financing programs for new students and increasing the amount of w'ork-study aid students currently involved in the program are receiving, Berkshire said.
The $400,000 is an approximate figure, she said, based on the assumption that students will be working at approximately the same rates with approximately the same payroll. She added that it is difficult to project this figure because it is contingent upon the number of students involved in the program. There are some 2,200 students currently participating in the program.
Ordinarily, this extra financial aid would already have been allocated to eligible students.
but because the financial aid office found out so late, they were unable to distribute all the money before school began this fall, Berkshire said
When students learn they are eligible for aid, they are sent a letter notifying them of the type of aid they will be receiving, either grants, federal loans or w7ork-study. In June, many of these letters had already been sent and therefore would not have included the federal money just granted by the Office of Education, Berkshire said.
However, the financial aid office was able to change the packaging format for most students in the fall, giving (Continued on page 12)

The Joint Educational Project and Norwood Street Elementary School presented a Los Angeles "idea book" in honor of the city's centennial to the Los Angeles Citv Schools Monday.
"The greatness of a city such as Los Angeles provides its residents with much history, culture and a certain richness that will be celebrated in the centennial. The idea book will focus the attention of elementary school students onto the history of this great city," said Mayor Tom Bradley, who attended the presentation held at Norwood Street Elementarv School
Other guests at the presentation included President John R. Hubbard; Barbara Gardner, director of JEP; school principals from all over the dis-trict;and members of the Los Angeles County Unified School Board.
The 1,600 copies of the book, called Look Around, Look Again. Look Ahead, will provide learning exercises about the history and culture of the city of Los Angeles for elementarv school children. Ideas contained in the book were tested in elementarv schools by university students participating in the JEP program.

Ahead is that of a mini-course guide book where teachers can select activities for their students that teach them about Los Angeles — past, present and future. The book contains detailed descriptions of activities, Spanish vocabulary needed for the lessons, references, materials that may be needed, objectives of the exercise, and ideas about how to work with the class and plan minicourses. The book also has many photographs of the surrounding L.A. area to enhance the activity ideas.
Julie Ortega, a university student in JEP, presented the book to the City of Los Angeles, and Donald Sears, a sixth-grade student and student body president at Norwood Street School, officially accepted.
Bradley thanked the university for its service to the surrounding community and said students who attend the school seem to have an increased sense of community awareness as a result of the JEP program at Norwood.
The name Joint Educational Project "means we care about what happens to you (the community). We want to help you," Bradley said.
' This program encourages students to expand their minds, their hopes, their aspirations, their desires for the future," Bradley said.

Prof talks on U. S. - China ties
New phase in modernization process
JOHN G. GURLEY

China's improved relations with the United States are not a sudden occurrence but a product of a long march toward modernization and socialism, said John G. Gurley, a professor of economics at Stanford.
"Anyone who knows anything about recent Chinese history would recognize at once that what has happened in the last four years since Mao's death is really only the latest episode of over a century of efforts by the Chinese to modernize their economy in response to the impact of western nations on China," he said.
Gurley, 54, spoke Monday before a class in contemporary’ economic issues taught by Richard Day. The course combines a five-week introduction to economic issues and a series of guest lectures.
Gurley spoke from a Marxist perspective of his-, tory, which, he said, views world events as leading mankind in logical steps to a society where wealth is distributed equally.
One of the steps leading to China's move for modernization was capitalist intrusion into Asia
during colonial times in the early nineteenth century.
"Germany, Britain, France, the U.S., and Japan a little later on, began making inroads to China, trying to dominate certain areas of China and control Chinese trade," Gurley said.
The Opium War in 1841, when Great Britain won concessions from China, and the Sino-Japa-nese War in 1894, w hen Japan won control of Korea, were examples of incidents which caused the Chinese to find better ways of defending themselves, he said.
"The first thing they did in the 1840s and the 1850s was just act defiantly. Thev said, 'Go away. We don't need you — we've got everything here in China that we want. We've got all the basic things along with our Confucian values and we don't need any of your material possessions and your Western values,' " he said.
When defiance failed, the Chinese unsuccessfully had a Confucian revival, imported military technology, and then tried to manufacture their own armaments.
"You see, manv of the things that were being (Continued on page 17)
