Speaking to a gathering of about 20 students at the East Union, the British journalist discussed the in ternal and external effects of the upheaval in Red Chi na. Wilson said the forces engaged in the Cultural Revolution are deadlocked with the outcome pretty un certain. He said that pro ponents of Premier Mao Tse-tung are now in t h e minority and control only one-quarter of the country's provinces. If Mao does lose the con flict, Chinese Communist policy will probably be come more conventional and less militant, Wilson said. INTERNAL PROBLEMS Regardless of the out come, China's attention will have to be focused on i t s incredibly complex inter nal problems rather than on matters of foreign poli cy, she said. The former editor of Hong Kong's Eastern Re view called the Cultural Revolution the "first open split in the facade of Chi nese Communist unity." He said it has now be come clear that Mao has been ruling with minority support from the country's Central Committee. The country's real rulers "have been keeping him tucked away in a top room," where he has little affect on Chinese affairs, according to Wilson. The journalist termed Mao a great military 1 e a d er, who is extremely Utopi an and optimistic and "who believes it is possible to change people's ideas and beliefs through education." Mao's desire to get Chi na "into the right tracks for long-term development towards a perfect society" led him to initiate the C u 1 tural Revolution. YOUTH AND ARMY The Premier than turned to the two groups who are still willing to adopt his idealism, Wilson said, t h e army and the country's youth. The army thus far has chosen to remain neu tral but could be a decisive factor if it does enter t h e conflict. Wilson traced the bellig erency of the Red Guards pro-Maoist student groups to the discontent and frustration of the peas ants and factory workers who think the Communist Party has betrayed them. But despite mounting dis content it is unlikely the Communist regime could be overthrown. Wilson s u g ' ' gested the country will in stead see the further devel Guarneri Quartet To Perform Today The Guarneri Quartet, a itring ensemble, will per form at Sheldon Auditorium Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. in a pro gram sponsored by the Lin coln Friends of Chamber Music.

Wilson said, be cause: the Communists have established "the most effi cient and popular govern ment of the century;" they are not likely to be supplanted by any other group within China; an invasion by the Na tionalist Chinese now a re mote possibility would not gain popular support from the mainland peasants. FOREIGN POLICY Turning to China's for eign policy, he emphasized that the country's general position is u n 1 i k e 1 y to change regardless of the re gime in power. He pointed to four permanent features of Chinese foreign policy. First, China "intends to restore its proper borders." Wilson said this has been accomplished to a great extent, but conflilts over the Sino-Soviet borders should fan the hostilities be tween these countries for some time. Second, the country de sires to "regain its proper sphere of influence in Southeast Asia." He doubted that China desires to conquer these countries, saying it only wishes to be on friendly terms with them. The Western world has nothing to fear from this attitude, he added. ASSERT THEMSELVES Third, the Chinese wish to asaert themselves as a real world power. Their development of an atomic bomb reflects this desire. At the ' m o m e n t, China "can't expect to be taken any more seriously than France," but its stature will grow in coming decades, he said Fourth, China says it will spread Communism throughout the world. The journalist said there is rea son to qualify this state ment, since the C h i n e s e have traditionally spoken in "very strong language." China's record reveals the country has "acted cautiously and prudently," Wilson said. "I don't re gard them as any more of a threat than the Rus sians." Wilson said that a num ber of things suggest that China will not become an aggressive threat to the United States in the future. The Chinese "are rather favorably placed" to avoid such a conflict and have no real need for land or re sources The threat China poses is not in a military or a politi cal sense, he concluded, but rather in a cultural sense. Western powers must move to close the "un derstanding gap" by train ing people who are versed in the country's language, history and literature to in terpret what the Chinese really mean. Michael Tree, who plays the viola, made his debut at Carnegie Hall and has soloed with the orchestras of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Los Angeles. He has also toured South America and Italy. Cellist for the group, Dav is Soyer, has toured the U.S. and Europe and is a former member of the Bach Aria Group, the Guilet Quartet and the New Music String Quartet. According to the New York Times, "The group's tone Is like satin. The vi bratos are warm and matched. The rhythem Is solid, the intonation exem plary and the sense of style masterly."

Ferryman, manager of the Spacecraft System Space Di vision of the North American Rockwell Corp. spoke to a group of Air Force students Thursday concerning the spaceshot. "The key to today's mis sion is that the craft flew higher, faster, and hotter than any other craft has been flown," Ferryman said. Apollo-Saturn 5 was launch ed Thursday morning. It coursed around the Earth two times at an altitude of 11,400 miles and finally splashed down in the Pacific Ocean without incident. Accoring to Ferryman mere were five main innova tions in this mission. First, this was the largest and heaviest craft ever launched by the United States. It was 369 feet high and weighed 6, 200,000 pound . Hyde Park Discusses Student Apathy; Napalm By SHERRY McGAFFIN Junior Staff Writer Student apathy and pres sures, the morality of war and the morality of napalm, were discussed at Hyde Park Thursday after noon. Criticism of student atti tudes said that Nebraska's campus hosts many follow ers and, with the exception of a few, no leaders. Don Sutton commented that the students on this campus are not worth working for because, re gardless of their individual views, no one is willing to take a forceful stand on any issue. The trouble with Nebras ka's students is that people talk a lot, but they do noth ing, Bernard Durand, Uni versity French Instructor said. Durand said that stu dents are plagued by so many pressures that they cannot take advantage of cultural aspects of college life. One observer from the audience said that students fail to take a stand on bas ic campus issues. Any dem- Saturn Faster, Second, it traveled higher than any other spacecraft. It reached an apogee of 11,400 miles. Third, it traveled fast er than any other space vehi cle. It orbited the earth at an estimated 25,000 miles per hour. Fourth, it was the first time that a spacecraft's engine had stopped and restarted in space. Fifth, the vehicle also encountered the highest tem perature ever recorded in a space flight, 4,500 degre Far- nheiit. Ferryman also listed the six main components of the Appollo-Saturn 5. The Saturn 5 liquid rocket F-l engines pro vided the booster. Scientists also utilized J-2 liquid hydrogen engines to avoid the problems of the ex treme heat Uid cold t'at was experienced during the mission. Tied in with the problem of extreme temperatures was the proper functioning of the onstration or agitation started by a group inevi tably fails because it re ceives no student support. Dan Dickmeyer, Univer sity senior, questioned the morality of war by citing the United States' use of napalm in the Viet Nam war. Dickmeyer said Dowe Chemical a producer of na palm would be on the Uni versity campus Nov. 20.

Scientists were skeptical as to the calibre of its functioning in such an environment, Fer ryman said, but the "Brain Box" functioned perfectly. The fourth component is the lunar module which was only a mockup Thursday. In the flight to the moon it will be detached from the spacecraft and carry two astronauts to the moon's surface. The service module power capsule is the fifth component and the command module which will contain the three astronauts during the moon shot is the sixth. The lecture also included slides of an artist's conception of the flight's stages as well as a brief film of the tests on the individual componnts of the craft.
