Roger W. Heyns, president of the American
Council on Education, explained differences
between educational systems in China and the
United States at the UNL Honors Convocation,
Tuesday. Heyns was a recent visitor to the
People's Republic of China.
Heyns said that of the 800 million Chinese
only 400,000 attend universities, colleges or
trade schools.
In comparison there are eight million
American students in higher education.
A university he visited had 2,600 students and
1,000 faculty members, Heyns said. Eleven
departments in the university operated several
factories and one farm, with 500 workers.
Instrument of the state
"The entire educational system is an
instrument of the state," he said. "Education is
in the spirit of serving the causes of the
Revolution. The ideal citizen changes his ways to
conform to the ideals of Marxism and devotion
to Chairman Mao,."
Heyns said Chinese education is heavily
influenced by Chairman Mao. There is great
suspicion of the educated, so educational
institute are intensely practical, he said. The
stit? is fearful of scholarly discussions of
irmtlirt ideas, he said.
Hryrs ssd students are not barred from work.
""I Um secend graders seated around a table
issenvb-Lr.g irxpensive ball point pens."
Ik sxi no students go directly from high
school to edits:. Everyone spends several years
in a conur.ur.e or factory and then returns when
their education is completed.
Heyns said students are not preoccupied with
individuals differences because of the
subordination of personal goals for the good of
I
the state.
Emphasis on society
Heyns said the biggest difference between the
educational systems of the two cultures is that
United States emphasizes the individual while the
Chinese emphasize society.
He said the American system must combine
freedom with enough concern to meet the needs
of society. Leadership is needed, he said, to
provide solutions for the problems that confront
us.
The answer to the leadership question, Heyns
said, is students who meet standards of individual
excellence and performance, such as those
honored at the convocation.
In addition to the 2,700 students honored,
five faculty members were honored for
distinguished teaching. They received awards of
$1 ,000, provided by various foundations.
Sorensen Award
Bernice Slote, professor of English, received
the Sorensen Award for the humanities. bhe is
the author of 13 books, editor of the Prairie
Schooner and internationally known for her
study of Keats' poetry.
P.J. Cunningham, associate professor of
animal science was honored for his personal
interest in students and adaptation of new
teaching approaches.
Jerry Petr received an award for teaching in
the social sciences. He is an associate professor of
economics in the areas of comparative economic
systems and economics of the Soviet Union.
Robert F. Krejci is a nationally known expert
in the field of restorative dentistry. He received
an award in the area of science.
Robert Works, associate professor of law, was
honored for his work in teaching legal research
and 'writing legal papers to freshmen law
students.

Special departments
said type of tokenism
Sarah Hoagland, a UNL philosophy instructor, told a
WomenSpeak audience of 35 people Tuesday that women's
studies should be included in existing departments rather than in a
department of its own.
She said women's studies departments are a form of tokenism
and tend to protect and isolate women students.
Wliat is needed, Hoagland said, is a multi-dicipline program of
women's studies in existing departments. This would force the
departments to rid their curriculum of sexist material and
implement real change, she said.
Hoagland said that implementing women's studies into existing
departments would allow faculty members to pursue careers in
their specialized departments. They would simply use women
studies material in their own courses rather than become part of a
new department, she said.
Hoagland said that isolating women in a women's studies
department would not solve problems.
"Change must come from within," she said. "The attitudes of
women will not change without a change in the attitude of society
altoge trier ."
Biological differences are not grounds for differences in
education and being in the same classroom does not mean women
are receiving equal treatment, she said.
Respect is not given one who is considered interior or vastly
superior and women are not being respected, she said. A women's
studies department would offer protection and special treatment,
she said.
"When a young woman is given special treatment and
protection," Hoagland said, "she will seek to please, rather than
seek independence,"
Women should seek to. direct their own lives Hoagland said, not
look to others.
