Horsehiders Play Overseas
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
What is television doing to us? Is it making us a nation passive participants in the passing show, or through its lfluence, making us more aware of the world we live in, wrring us on to greater activity?
Dr. Franklin Dunham, chief of radio-television, US
Office of Education, will answer some of these questions concerning "Social Effects of Television in the United States," Tuesday at 11 in the Bovard general assembly.
Is TV Bad
He will discuss whether or not children are learning to become juvenile delinquents through bad examples presented by television programs or whether they are learning how to discriminate be tween right and wrong and so become more responsible citizens of the future.
Other questions to be answered include:
Do we take television in our stride, just adding it to our multiple choices of means of recreation, or are we neglecting many other valuable sources of enjoyment such as sports, stage plays, reading, fine motion pictures, and excellent vadio program, in favor of television?
Hit or Miss Do we learn to budget our television time by planning viewing of important programs? Do we tune in haphazardly accepting hit or miss programs as a means of enjoyment?
Sensing the remarkable educational values inherent in television, are we making any use of them to improve on our educational status or are we letting these opportunities pass us by, ignoring the graphic news-presen-tations, the discussions and the news background which supplement our newspaper headline reading?
If television has come to stay, are we accepting it for what it is or consciously giving it some attention for the purposes of making it serve the individual, the family and the community better?

RABBI ALFRED WOLF
. . . speaks Tuesday
Rabbi to Ledure
"Is there a basic conflict between the goals of religion and legitimate goals of public education?” asks Rabbi Alfred Wolf, who will speak Tuesday at 2:15 p.m. in 133 FH.
Rabbi Wolf, Wilshire Boulevard Temple and visiting lecturer in religion at SC, will raise this question when he speaks on “Religious Motivation for Universal Education.”
He will also consider “Does religious faith stimulate or frustrate man’s normal inquisitiveness?” and “Can public education take any cues from the educational traditions in the Judio-Christian religions?”
Rabbi Wolf was ordained for the rabbinate at the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1941 and received his BA degree from the University of Cincinnati.
He served in the pulpit of Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and then assumed his position as the First Rabbi of Temple Emanu-El in Dothan, Alabama.
Panel to Compare American Schools To Other Schools
A five-man panel, representing five different countries, will compare American schools to their own this morning at 10 in 133 FH during the third session of the Educational Series to be narrated by Meritt M. Thompson, emeritus professor of education.
Dr. Robert E. Cralle, Dr. C. Crawford. Dr. Harold P. Johns, Dr. Joseph A. Lauwreys, and Graduate Student Ngwobia Uka will describe schools system in Japan, Cuba, Canada, England, and Nigeria respectively.
During 1951 and 1952 Dr. Cralle was in Japan as a consultant for the United States Army of Occupation in training programs for superintendents of schools. In this period he made several observations about Japanese schools.
“They have an excellent teacher training program, which started in 1946 when the Occupation forces began to advise the people on how to remake their schools in light jf democratic principles,” he says.
Cralle cites the discipline problem as the greatest difficulty of (Continued on Page 4)

Chen, Swearingen, Das * * * ★ Dilemma of Two Chinas'
"The Dilemma of the Two Chinas,” will be discussed by three experts in the field of international relations Wednesday at 2:15 in 133 FH during the weekly Asia Forum Series.
"Most significant are the issues involved in President Eisenhower’s statement to the effect that he will refuse to discuss problems of Asia at the four power conference this week,” Dr. vog KleinSmid said.
It is quite likely that a consideration of the Asiatic problems can be held off for the present, but certainly not for long, says Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid, narrator.
"Shall we look forward, then, to another “Summit Conference” in the near future," he asks.
"Communist China: World Revolution or World Peace?" will be the topic of the first panel speaker, Dr. Theodore Chen. Dr. Taraknath Das and Dr. Rcdger Swearingen will speak on “China and India” and "The Conflicting Policies of the Free World."
Dr. Chen says that by this time
il is clear Chinese Communists have undertaken to remold China into a proletariat-socialist state.
"As far as relations with the USSR and other nations of the world are concerned, we must remember that Chinese Communists subscribe in general to Wie concept of world revolution," he says.
“In the task of building Communism at home and abroad the Chinese Communists believe they must accept the leadership of the Soviet Union. They willingly coordinate all their foreign policies

with those of the Soviet Union,”
. he says.
To India and Nehru the Chinese question is not a question of Communism, but one of friendship with that China which has 2000 miles of frontier for the security of India, Dr. Das says.
He says to discuss Indian policy toward China one has to think of the historical relation between China and India, which has been of special significance. For nearly 2000 years China and India governed by Indian people did not have war and for 1000 years India and China had cultural cooperation of great significance.
Dr. Swearingen will outline the different countries’ [joints of views toward the two Chinas.
“In general the question of which of these governments is recognized by a given country as "the government” has become a political question tied up with the country’s national interest," he says.
In the past several years the policies of England and the US on the question of the two Chinas —policies far apart in ’49-’50, have come closer together*, according to Swearingen.
