The shouting and display of such slogans was found to be absolutely unacceptable and the University had issued a strongly worded reprimand to the relevant organizing committees in the four colleges. The Joint Committee on New Student Orientation recommended improvements on the organization of orientation camps. It would amend the guidelines for the camps and discuss preventive measures with the relevant students and staff. The student organizers on their part agreed to set up a more effective monitoring system and exercise self-discipline in future orientation camps. The Sexual Harassment Investigation Team found that some of the orientation camp activities contained elements that were clearly sexually hostile, which could not be tolerated in an institution of higher learning. The team also found that some students were extremely insensitive to the issue of sexual harassment, and suggested the University should increase education and promote awareness regarding such issues. The University would request all units, committees, and organizations (including student organizations) to set up effective mechanisms for preventing sexual harassment and indecent behaviour when organizing activities.

RELYING ON THE DISCERNING EYE: Authentication Service at the Art Museum
Now is the time to dig out that snuff bottle your great-grandmother
claimed to have once been used by Emperor Qianlong of the
Qing Dynasty and that brush painting from a Peruvian flea
market that, according to the vendor, was by Ni Zan (倪瓚) of
the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, and verify once and for
all whether you are truly in the company of the jewels of
history. Staff members of the University can bring family
heirlooms and other objects to the Art Museum on the second
Wednesday of every month during the academic year for
inspection and identification by professional eyes for free.
' T h e Ar t Museum of The Chinese University is the only museum in
H o n g K o n g w i t h exper t ise i n the connoisseurship and ident i f icat ion o f Chinese art and antique objects. Personally I have been appraising and dating objects from excavations, family heirlooms etc. for wel l over two decades, and I know such services are in high demand. We are glad to make ava i lab le our services to colleagues at the University,' says Prof. Peter Lam Yip-keung, director of the Art Museum.
The authentication team consists mainly of experts and scholars wi th the relevant expertise from the Department of Fine Arts and the Institute o f Chinese Studies (ICS). For instance, Prof. Jenny So, chair professor o f f ine arts and concurrently director of ICS, is a much respected scholar and authority on Chinese bronze and jade. Prof. Lee Yun Woon, also o f the Department o f Fine Arts, is a connoisseur of old Chinese calligraphy and painting. Prof. Peter Lam's specialties are Chinese ceramics, decorative items, and calligraphic rubbings. Their professional opinion is often sought by collectors, museums, and governments the wor ld over.
Methods of Identification There are many approaches to antique
identification. Some traditional antique dealers, Prof. Lam says, go by the qi (氣,
literally 'vital energy') of the object in the same way fortune-tellers judge a person's character or ongoing fate by the qi he/she exudes. 'We can' t say the method is wrong, ' says Prof. Lam, 'because i f it were, dealers would be in a lot of trouble as they wou ld have to pay for their mistakes in cash! Many have learnt the tricks o f the trade from their father or a master. They do fo l low certain criteria, which are subjective but also scientific, infused with decades of experience.'
Other more standardized approaches, l ike those adopted by the Ar t Museum, include surface science techniques, such as thermal ionization mass spectrometry for retrieving lead isotope ratios in Chinese bronze artefacts, thermoluminescence (TL) for dating ceramics, the radioactive carbon-14 (C-14) method for determining the age of organic matter in textiles, wood, bamboo, ivory, and charcoal, and infrared ref lectography and x-ray defract ion analysis for dating paintings. However all methods o f authentication have their shortcomings, Prof. Lam remarks, and the

HKIAPS Occasional Paper No. 129 I n t e r n a l and International Migration in China Under Openness and a Marketizing Economy Yeung Yue-man Since the adoption o f the open door po l icy in China in 1978, internal and in ternat ional m ig ra t ion has taken on new significance. Wi th in the country , in ternal migra t ion , previously strictly controlled under t h e hukou ( o r h o u s e h o l d registration) system, has witnessed progressive relaxation. This paper attempts to present the causes, patterns, dynamics, consequences and implications o f internal migration.
International migrat ion f rom China dating back to the nineteenth century has recently made newspaper headlines because of the exceptional circumstances under which it took place. Contemporary international migrat ion is complex, involv ing more countries, people, capital and cultures. This paper discusses d i f fe rent m ig ra t ion streams in var ious categories, namely settler migrants, student migrants, contract labourers, and i l legal migrants.
This paper concludes w i th the observation that, whi le internal migrat ion is at its freest and most frequent now compared to the past hal f century, there is room for further
relaxation. However, a delicate balance has to be struck between upholding the hukou system and a l low ing total freedom of population mobility. Wi th regard to international migration, China is l ikely to participate more actively and in greater numbers as its economic transition further proceeds and globalization continues.
