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. Nathan
F. 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."
Austrian Conference Set
Russia agreed Tuesday to a meeting of Big Four ambassadors to
settle final details for a treaty giving sovereignty back to Austria.
The meeting will be Monday in Vienna.
Britain Urges Peace Talks
Britain earnestly desires an early meeting between the three
western powers and Russia to insure world peace, according to Foreign
Secretary Harold MacMillan. The meeting, according to MacMillan,
can be "at any level, whether heads of government or foreign minis
ters." The State Department, meanwhile, has announced plans for a
meeting of the foreign ministers of Britain and France with Secretary
of State Dulles in Paris May B. The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss concrete plans" for a later Big Four conference with Russia.
Dulles reportedly has in mind a meeting of the Big Four foreign
ministers first, perhaps to be followed by a meetpg of the heads of
state.

Sakai Cites
Nationalism
Or Japan
Dr. Robert Sakai, assistant pro
fessor of history, hopes to continue
a recent study of rising Japanese
nations! ism on the Fulbright schol
arship recently awarded him for
research in Japan.
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

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

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

Sugar To Tea."

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

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.
