China’s postgraduates to focus more on research: official

??Postgraduates in China will focus more on academic research, as the Chinese government will take this measure at the means to assess postgraduate education, Minister of Education Zhou Ji said at a press conference Thursday.

??”Postgraduate literally means students studying by doing research,” said Zhou.

??He said China will increase the proportion of research work in the postgraduate education. As a result, tutors or postgraduates who do not have any research projects will be taken as disqualified.

??During the past 20 years, China has made great improvements in postgraduate education, and a large number of qualified students have acknowledged as “excellent” by top universities worldwide.

??On January 21 this year, more than 1,170,000 students took entrance examinations for postgraduate study — one in two undergraduate students.

??Zhou said China will keep to the current postgraduate education system which is research-oriented, despite that universities in other countries use postgraduate education as “transitional education” and focusing on course study.

??As to the doctoral students, Zhou said that they are expected to work more in teaching, research and educational administration.

??In 2005, China plans to recruit 4.75 million college students. Currently, the total on-campus student population in China is more than 20 million.

Dormitories do both good and bad

Category1 7 de Noviembre del 2008

WITH the new semester approaching, Yangzhou University in Jiangsu Province has found a visible way to help some of its poorer students: It has built some dormitories for poor students.

More than 50 of the school’s poorer students are now housed in two of these buildings. The major difference between these and other dorms is that the housing cost is 500 yuan a year. In other residence halls, students pay 700 yuan more.

The buildings have proven popular, and many students have applied to get in them. The university screens applications strictly, since they were built to ease the financial burden on poorer students.

And, it works.

“Living here can save me a lot of money,” said one freshman named Lou, who spends less than 3 yuan for three meals every day. “I’m poorer than many of the other students, but I work hard.”

There is a downside to this, however. Some students said that being made to live in a special buildings put them in an unfavourable light.

“I’d hoped to be treated just like other students,” said one student named Liu. “Living here makes me feel depressed. It seems that some inferior mark has been placed on the poorer students.”

Gather the welcome signs

Category1 3 de Septiembre del 2008

Warble me now for joy of lilac-time,

??

(returning in reminiscence,)

??

Sort me O tongue and lips for Nature’s sake, souvenirs of earliest summer,

??

Gather the welcome signs,

??

(as children with pebbles or stringing shells,)

??

Put in April and May, the hylas croaking in the ponds, the elastic air,

??

Bees, butterflies, the sparrow with its simple notes,

??

Blue bird and darting swallow, nor forget the high-hole flashing his golden wings,

??

The tranquil sunny haze, the clinging smoke, the vapor,

??

Shimmer of waters with fish in them, the cerulean above,

??

All that is jocund and sparkling, the brooks running,

??

The maple woods, the crisp February days and the sugar-making,

??

The robin where he hops, bright-eyed, brown-breasted,

??

With musical clear call at sunrise, and again at sunset,

??

Or flitting among the trees of the apple-orchard, building the nest of his mate,

??

The melted snow of March, the willow sending forth its yellow-green sprouts,

??

For spring-time is here! the summer is here! and what is this in it and from it?

??

Thou, soul, unloosen’d—the restlessness after I know not what;

??

Come, let us lag here no longer, let us be up and away!

??

O if one could but fly like a bird!

??

O to escape, to sail forth as in a ship!

??

To glide with thee O soul, o’er all, in all as a ship O’er the waters;

??

Gathering these hints, the preludes, the blue sky, the grass, the morning drops of dew,

??

The lilac-scent, the bushes with dark green heart-shaped leaves,

??

Wood-violets, the little delicate pale blossoms called innocence,

??

Samples and sorts not for themselves alone, but for their atmosphe

Statue of Liberty set to reopen - in part

Category1 3 de Septiembre del 2008

Visitors will be able to enter the base of the Statue of Liberty again this summer, but they’ll need a reservation, and they won’t be able to go where they’d probably like to - the crown. Interior Secretary Gale Norton said that the statue, closed since the 9/11 attacks, will reopen in July after completion of work to make the pedestal secure for visitors. But an international tradition - the long steep climb from the ground to the crown’s observation deck - apparently has become a victim of terrorism fears. “Safety of our citizens and preservation of the statue are our main goals,” said Norton, who called the statue “an attractive terrorist target.” There is none more attractive, according to security experts: The statue is a relatively fragile, world-famous symbol in the middle of New York Harbor. The observation area atop the statue’s pedestal will reopen, but not the crown, which is reachable only by spiral staircases inside the statue that cannot be evacuated easily or quickly. The statue is the only major national landmark that has remained closed since 9/11. Norton said the statue has remained closed because it had too many potential fire and security problems and too few exits. New exits, additional screening procedures and a reservation system to shorten waits will be implemented once the 118-year-old monument reopens. Visitors will be able to see the interior of the statue through the pedestal’s new glass ceiling. Liberty Island, the statue’s home, reopened three months after 9/11. Visitors are screened by metal detectors before they board ferries to the island from Lower Manhattan. Visits are down at least 40%. Tourism analysts agree that’s largely because people want to go inside the statue. While many visitors were happy to hear the statue was partly reopening, others lamented the loss of access to the crown.
