The students also lived with six people to a dormitory room.” Unterberger said Ping has discussed many research projects with her. “We had a deep philosophical con versation,” Unterberger said. “He knows how to compare Western and Asian philosophy.” Julia Kirk Blackwelder, head of the A&M history department, said the facul ty and students are fortunate to work with Ping for the fall semester. “He has adapted quickly, and he has a lot of teaching experience and diverse settings that prepared him well to deal with our students,” Blackwelder said. Blackwelder said students should “We are coming to the 21st century, and we need to have more imagination for the future, for a better soci ety and for a better world.” -Wan Shu Ping visiting lecturer take advantage ofWan's courses. “It is important for students to know they may never have a chance to study with someone like this again,” Blackwelder said. “I was never this fortunate as a undergraduate or graduate student.” Ping said he wants to give students a broad view of the world. “We live in a time where everything is globalized,” Ping said. “If we don’t have a global perspective, how do we under stand globalization?” Ping said students should study histo ry, because it is important for the future. “A French historian once said, ‘The present needs the past only with a ref erence for the future,”’ Wan said. “We are coming to the 21st century, and we need to have more imagination for the future, for a better society and for a better world.” I s there a ghost story you used to tell around the campfire, or a spooky tale that used to haunt you at nigh?

Once she’s ready for children, the question will be: how many? “I think men always go into the higher numbers because they’re not the ones going through the actual process and they just think of a brood,” said Shields, star of the new hit NBC sitcom, Suddenly Susan. ‘‘It’s their mentality,” she said. “Let’s have more. Let’s have a team!’ They think in terms of teams. I think three would be great.” Mum is the word on when the TV star will marry the tennis pro. "We won’t be a perpetually en gaged couple, that’s for sure,” said Shields, 31, adding she hopes for a paparrazzi-free wedding. “Hopefully, I’ll do this just once ... Hopefully, it won’t be destroyed by the press,’’ she said. “Just the one day that you want to not give away to anybody else.” Picasso gets a bad rap in film NEW YORK (AP) — James Ivory disclaims any desire to bring the great man down, even though crit ics have suggested that his Sur viving Picasso depicts the great artist as mercurial, philandering, even miserly and mean. “This is the way he was. We all know he was probably the centu ry’s greatest artist. Everybody knows that,” the director said. “Everyone accepts that. And it would be silly to imply anything other than that. But sometimes he was this man who behaved the way he did towards people.” Should allowances be made for genius? “People do make allowances,” said Ivory, a three-time Oscar nominee. “That’s why you have a story like this. Of course, you make allowances. Genius is part of the attraction; it’s also a part of the doom of these people who (are attracted) like a moth to wards the candle. Geniuses at tract all kinds of people — for better or worse, for them.” Ice skating king clowns for camera ONVEN' ontinued fro crowd of 3,000.
