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 Set To Meet The department of journalism expects 1,300 student newspaper staff members from 57 high schools to attend the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association convention being held here today, Prof. John Field of the journalism department said. Keynote speaker for the con- vention is Charles Ferguson, a senior editor of "The Reader's Digest," who will present "Love That Language" at 10 a.m. today In Rackham Aud. The students will attend confer- ences all day on journalism tech- niques, its importance in the high school and community, and the professional possibilities. Swim Clubs To Hold Show The University women's syn- chronized swimming clubs, Michi- fish and Michifins, will sponsor the seventh annual festival of the :international Academy of Aquatic Art at 8 p.m. today and tomor- row at the women's pool. The two exhibitions will feature performances by synchronized swimming star Beulah Grundling, a California high school group, the synchronized swimming cham- pion of the Pan American games and the -University varsity diving team. Tickets are available at the Women's Pool and Barbour Gym- ,nasium.. Folklore Society To Hold Concert The Folklore Society in conjunc- tion with the Michigan Union's Creative Arts Festival will present a concert of folk music featuring Jack Elliott at 8:30 p.m. today in the Union Ballroom. Tickets may be purchased at the Union desk, the Disc Shop and the Hi-Fi and Center. -ii.1 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.
