Lines: 32 What's all the fuss about. Back when I was getting my PhD, some students and I had a discussion of this sort. It was more like who had the world's best mathematicians, USSR or USA. I still remember the answer my Professor gave. He said "America--because the whole free world works for America". I suppose one can extend it to Physicists, Engineers, Computer Scientists, etc, etc,.. The point is this; As long as India, Taiwan, Japan, Arab Countries, Europe, etc are willing to send their best people to get PhD's here, and as long as American Universtities are willing to give them scholarships to support their years of study and as long as the Immigration and Naturalization Department is willing to give Resident status to them so that later they can become American citizens and work for American companies, WHAT IS THERE TO WORRY ABOUT. As long as natiave-born American students can have their MTVs, their cars and stereos and jobs why should they study CS, and ENgineering etc etc etc. I am not complaining...not at all...There is nothing to worry about... It will be like this for a long time .... America is a big country and there is lots of rooom... Let them come... Let us go back to our work.. BTW; I was born in a foreign country........ mark -- H.M. Hubey VOICE: 201-893-5269 hubey@OSultrix.montclair.edu hubey@pilot.njin.net hubey@apollo.montclair.edu
