The Outside World- Red Army By DICK Staff Writer Congress has been told that the Russian army is virtually on a war footing and that Communist China's Air Force could be tripled "overnight" by the Soviets, accordiing to reports just issued on secret sessions of the House Appropriations subcommittee last February. During the sessions, Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway is reported o have told the subcommittee the Russian army is the most powerful in the world and -"in an excellent state of combat readiness." Gen.

Twining gave the report on the air potential of Red China, saying that its '"rapidly expanding system of bases gives the Communists the ability to move in aircraft rapidly from the Soviet Union."

Dr. Sakai has been investigating this question for the past Sew years and came upon it in connection with a study of Chinese national ism during the last 56 years. Dr. Sakai said be believes Japanese attempts to Westernize, which pre ceded the Chinese movements, have set a definite example for such influential Chinese parties as Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomingtang. The changes in China, Dr. Sakai said, are the effects of Western phUosophis on the Confucian tra ditions. The new ideas, he said, have forced either the destruction or the adaptation of Confucian ism. In China, he added, the adap tation was superficial The same problem, he continued, was faced in Japan about a cen tury earlier. Japan, too, was large ly based on the ideas of Confucian ism. But in that country, the peo ple were better able to fit nation alism in with tneir traditional views. Dr. Sakai spent several months before World War II in Japan and lived there 15 months during the early occupation. Since then, he Event have bees canceled. E Cinivcs.,il'. Sowed!

Five-Year Curriculum Pharmacy Passed By Extension of the program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Phar macy degree to a five-year se quence has been approved by the Board of Regents. The program calls for two years of pre-professional education which will be required for admission to the College of Pharmacy. The pro fessional program in pharmacy will be limited to three academic years. Joseph B. Burt, dean of the coll ege, stated that the increase in the length of the program will be de voted exclusively to an increase in the requirements far courses ia the field of general ducatiaa. specifically the social sciences and the humanities. r Minimum 40 Hours The five-year sequence requires ar a minimum 40 hours of electives restricted to this area. Nine ad ditional hours of non-restricted elec tives are available in the profes sional program which would make it theoretically possible for a stu dent to complete a total of 49 elec tive hours in general education. A total of 160 credit hours will be re quired for the degree, the dean said. The extension of the four-year pharmacy curriculum has been under discussion for nearly 25 years. In 1948 a special Pharma ceutical Survey Committee com pleted a two-year study in which it recommended an extension of the curriculum with special emphasis upon general education. "Although it is generally agreed that it as possible to complete the necessary instruction in technical and professional subjects within the four-year sequence, only a very limited amount of work in fields other than professional subjects and underlying sciences oould be Courtesy Lincoln ( Sakai said, there has been an upsurge of Japanese nationalism, especial ly since the signing of the Japanese peace treaty. . Dr. Sakai is especially interested in studying the Japanese pariot Saigo TakamorL whose militarist ic and nationalistic views are sym bolic of a large segment of Jap anese thought Dr. Sakai believes Takamori to be a very influential Japanese leader who has been too quickly passed over by Westerners in favor of leaders more Western in their thought The result of these studies will be a series of articles and pos sibly some books. Dr. Sakai said. He received his M. A. at the University of California and his doctorate from Harvard. He has been at the University since 195L :': .Hill Star do the arrangements of music for the Billy May orchestra, and will also arrange for other Capitol Re cording stars. The band first attracted public attention 22 months ago and has since become one of the top dance bands in the country. Donahue began his musical ca reer while still attending high school in Detroit. He formed a dance band there which later con stituted the nucleus of future Don ahue conducted. In 1938, Donahue accepted a band with the Gene Krupa band. After two years with Krupa, Donahue joined the Harry James group and later the Benny Goo man group. Following this, Donahue re formed his own band which toured New England until Donahue was. drafted. After the war, Donahue accepted a job as Tommy Dorsey's assistant leader. May said he selected Donahue to take over the band because of his varied background experience and success with dance bands in the past. The band has become famous for what critics have termed a "fresh sound of the "slurping saxes." la the past, the Billy May band has played a lengthy run at the Hollywood Paladium and has made many hit records. Some of the recording succes ses of the Billy May band are "How Important Can It Be," "Do You Ever Think of Me," "High Noon," and "When I Take My Sugar To Tea." Billy May's band under the di rection of Donahue played at a Lincoln ballroom last year for the Interfraternity Council Ball Extension Regents offered under this program," Dean Burt stated. Broader Education The new program will be similar to those providing for a minimum of general education afforded to students .in such fields as medi cine, dentistry and law, all of which require pre-professional tra ining with emphasis on general education. "It is believed that the oppor tunity for a broader general edu cation will be extremely useful to practicing pharmacists, particu krly those who enter the retail field, - ia finding - their place- 4a their community and assuming a position of leadership in community affairs," he stated. Students meeting the require ments of the College of Arts and Sciences may, upon completion of the fourth year of work at the col lege level, qualify for the Bachelor of Arts degree. This degree would be conferred in addition to the de gree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy upon the completion of the five-year program. The program will begin with the fall semester of 1957-58. AH stu dents entering the college before the beginning of the spring semest er of 1956-57 may elect to complete the four-year sequence, and enter the College of Pharmacy directly upon graduation from high schooL Students seeking to enter the college at a later date must sub mit transcripts showing the com pletion of the minimum of 0 hours of credit, exclusive of military science and physical education, from an accredited college which would include 45 credits in courses specified in the pre-professional program which win be published in the next College of Pharmacy bulletin. Schneider To Study In Germany Woods Fellowship winner Dr. Carl Schneider, associate professor of political science, wiH conclude his research on post-war German po litical parties during his year of absence to Germany. Dr. Schneider said he plans to subject German political parties to analyses of internal organiza tion and relationship to class struc tures, selection of leadership and constitutional and legal status with in the West German government He will probe the extent to which the state has tried to control party activity and the effectiveness of the parties ia reflecting public opinion. Dr. Schneider is especially in terested in tracing and evaluating the rise of anti-democratic parties. He believes many present right wing parties are continuations of pre-Nazi parties, but they seem to have gathered relatively small sup port from the people. He has done work on Fascist groups on trips to Germany before the war. He said he had a few details to clear up on a related mvestigatioa of right-wing subver sive organizations during the war in Switzerland. The general purpose of Dr. Schneider's year of study wd be ta reach conclusions regarding Ger man parties as functions cf lb West German Republic and to ary.yj v X Courtew LiocoU Joamal Donahue Quad's To Elect Officers Selleck Quadrangle men wut elect executive officers of the Resi dence Association for Men Thurs day.
