Influx of Western Ideas
Causes Conflict in Japan
By SANDRA JOHNSON
During the 100 years preceding
World War II, Western liberal
ideas were being introduced into'
Japan, Prof. Ito of Tokyo Engi-
neering University said yesterday.
However, the conservative re-
gime which ruled the nation pre-
vented some of these, ideas from
being put into effect, Prof. Ito
explained.
Idealistic young intellectuals
were forced to give up their liberal
beliefs, if they wanted to achieve
a high, well-paid position in either
government or industry. Some who
would not, usually went into poorly
paid publishing house positions.
Liberals Protest
As a protest against the sup-
pression of the government, these
young liberals began to write about
themselves-about the bankruptcy
they had to endure and the illicit
love affairs that were a result of
their way of life. Until the second
world war publishing houses would
rarely accept any sort of writing
except these autobiographical
works.
To the Japanese readers every-
thing these writers did was some-
thing that they too would have
liked to do, but could not without
jeopardizing their status and posi-
tion.
The public placed great pressure
on these autobiographical writers
for more and more works. How-
ever, in order to have something to
write about oneself, one must lead
a scandalous or exciting private
life, Prof. Ito explained.
Couldn't Lead Quiet Life
An author who wanted to settle
down and lead a normal quiet life
simply could not and continue to
Student Press

Digest," who will present "Love
That Language" at 10 a.m. today

ences all day on journalism tech-
niques, its importance in the high
school and community, and the
professional possibilities.

be an author. Prof. Ito cited one
popular author, Osamu Dazai, who
had married and settled down.
Feeling a responsibility to his
readers, he began to write fiction
and pass it off as his own personal
experiences.
His conscience forced him to
give up his quiet family life and
go back to an infamous existence
which would provide material for
future books.
Ham mett Talks
On Baroque
Architecture
By STEVEN SHAW
"The 18th Century-an age of
great monarchs-produced an ex-
uberance and exaggeration of ar-
tistic style," Prof. Ralph Ham-
mett of the architecture college
said yesterday.
Prof. Hammett spoke on "The
Architecture of the Hallelujah
Age" in a lecture made possible
by a Rackham Grant.
Introducing and concluding his
illustrated lecture with organ mu-
sic from the Late Baroque Per-
iod, he concentrated particularly
on Rococo architecture and art
as exemplified in Southern Ger-
many and Austria. The pictures
were taken by the speaker during
his Sabbatical leave last year.
"The elite society of the age-
the princes of the land and of
the Church-working in a glor-
iously overdecorated style, often
tried to create another Palace of
Versailles."
Prof. Hammett pointed out that
contrary to a popular belief, the
architect did not plan his great
works alone. He worked in a team
which included representatives
from all fields of the arts.
The ornate character of the
"Hallelujah Age" abruptly term-
inated around the time of the
American Revolution. The end of
absolutism brought to a close the
unique aristocratic conditions that
produced such works as the Bene-
dictine Monasteries of the 18th
Century.
Detroit To Host
Opera Group
The Metropolitan Opera Com-
pany will make its third annual
appearance in Detroit May 22
through 27 at the Masonic Tem-
ple Auditorium.
Principal stars in the seven
operas include Richard Tucker,
Robert Merrill, Birgit Nilsson and
Jan Peerce.
The company will open its week
at 8:30 p.m., Monday with "Tur-
andot," the last of Puccini's
operas. Flotow's "Martha" is set
for Tuesday. Three of Verdi's
operas, "Rigoletto," "Nabucco"
and "Aida," will follow successive-
ly on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday.
Puccini's "La Boheme" will be
presented at the Saturday mati-
nee, and the week will close with
Verdi's "La Traviata" Saturday
night.
Tickets are on sale at Grin-
nell's in downtown Detroit.
Criticizes
Non-Party
Activity
Former Republican state chair-
man Larry Lindemer, speaking be-
fore an Ann Arbor Chamber of
Commerce political action class,
blasted, non -partisan citizenship
groups.
"People would be better servants
of the public good if they made a
partisan decision," Lindemer said.
Of the necessity for political ac-
tivity, he asserted, "I would rather
have my children be Democrats
than namby-pamby non-entities."
He said citizens groups reduced
the effectiveness of parties.
Middle-of-the-Road
Oakland County Republican
chairman Arthur Elliott countered
that "we have always had certain
middle - of - the - road groups. It's
hard to encourage down-the-line
party activity,"
He added that such citizens
groups "act as catalysts to get
people into the party. Then in the
heat of a campaign, views tend
to clarify themselves."
Con-Con
A member of the audience asked
Lindemer "if the Republicans at a
state constitutional convention
would support reapportionment of
the state's districts even though
it might hurt them outstate."
Lindemer, who was party chair-
man for four years and preceded
present chairman George Van
Peursem, sidestepped the issue.
"The answer to the state's prob-
lems is not reapportionment. Tie
answer is in the election of quali-
fied people," he said.
Erase Stereotype
Elliott told the class that one of
the major Republican tasks was to
erase the popular stereotype of the
party as a "captive of business."
Former chairman Lindemer said
Republicans would have to place
a major emphasis on cultivating
support among labor interests.
