China was not < governed by nobles who inherited r the throne, members of the clergy or military figures. e Men were appointed to office on 1 n the basis of a civil service ( examination. Theoretically, Dr. z n Bodde said, any many could take I e the examination, but actually only e the few literate people took it. ( Scholars were given ranking in I 0 the civil service on the basis of I n these exams. These officials, Dr. f Bodde said, were dominant c members of society and ac- r cumulated dossiers which followed r them everywhere. All merits and c demerits were recorded. C b "Chinese officials looked down r s on trade and commercial ac- g tivities," Dr. Bodde said. Mer- f 9 chants were considered parasites f who schemed to get profits. f b Although the merchant was often f wealthy, he was looked down upon t and never formed a cohesive social I If the Clog ill of r. - ts COLORS: ty Denim Blue i Red sYellow a White 'p zes ab The artists said the character elongs to the people and that omic books had the right to arody him for adults.

CRANSTON, Rhode Island - 7hree high school teachers faced uspension threats after having ndorsed a speech by a young rostitute. The girl spoke about 'victimless crime" such as irostitution, homosexuality and Crmaking. She addressed the 40 members of fe, gover by Dr. I ,roup, according to Dr. Bodde. He said there is a distrust of ndividualism in China. Social ibligations are emphasized and ire carried out with a certain esponsibility. The Chinese word for in lividualism, according to the >rofessor has a bad sound and the onnotation is of the work is "each nan for himself." Freedom, also, is not regarded is wonderful, also because it has a oad connotation. The individual in hina does not act for himself,but cts for the sake of a larger group, )r. Bodde said. The dominant social unit in old shina was the family and was ilagued by a form of nepotism. or example, if one member of a amily got a good job, he was bligated to get good jobs for the est of his family, even distant elatives. Another unusual cir umstance is that of a father ommitting a crime and the son eporting the crime to the overnement. In such a case, both ather and son were punished--the ather for the crime, and the son or the crime of reporting his ather's actions. Nepotism has largely disap eared from Chinese families now; fits -- qallicqask #1 IARCADE MAIN & WASHING Hours: 10-5:30 M-Th. 10-6: 00 ortion a social studies class, "Economics and Politics in the Community" last week in Cranston High School West in Rhode Island.

VERNON, Conn. - The president of the National Organization for Women (NOW) said she and her husband were getting a divorce after 20 years of marriage. Wilma Scott Heide said she and her husband were not renewing their option by mutual consent this year. nment lodde today they resemble western families. Today, according to Dr. Bodde, the emphasis is on social service. There is a subordination of private interests and when something must be done the multitudes do it. The Chinese have a traditional attitude toward nature. They believe in social harmony and harmony between man and nature. The Chinese feel that nature should not be exploited for human ends. The Chinese are currently working on an insect parasite to destroy insects, rather than using chemicals such as DDT. They are not likely to have a pollution problem such as ours, because they cannot afford to waste anything material. Wrap pers and bottles are not thrown away. Birth control in China also has been emphasized. There is a stress on late marriage, with stress on birth control after marriage. In closing, Dr. Bodde, said, "The Chinese have much to learn from us, we have much to learn from the Chinese and the world has much to learn from each other." Wear It. MALI. rON STS. 10-9:00 Fri. Sat.
