REPORT ON OCCUPATION:
East Meets West in Post War Japan
aN* * * * *- *
By HERB ROVNER
Toshiko Kabashima, a Japanese
student currently studying here,
has proved that the East and West
Scan meet.
A graduate student in sociology,
Miss Kabashima believes that since
the end of the war, the East, and r
particularly Japan, has come to ;
know the western world through
the occupation troops..
"EVERYTHING in the GI's con-
tact with our people has been comn-
pletely spontaneous and natural,
and these Americans in turn who
and understand our country," Miss
Kabashima said. j
Mifs Kabashima came to the
University in September, 1948, . .r-
after having graduated from a
semmon gakko (women's spe-
cialized school) in Tokyo.
r. These specialized colleges which
correspond to individual depart-
ments in American universities.
were considered on a lower plane
than the Japanese universities
which before the war were open
Y only to men.
.* .. : :
o "HOWEVER, since the war some
of these semmon gakkos have been
promoted to the same status as
the universities which are now
legally open to women," Miss Ka-
bashima said.
"Under the new Japanese ed-
ucational system, the high school
currieulum for men and women
is similar, making it easier for
women to compete with men in
entrance examinations for the
universities.
Before the war, there was no
coeducation in Japan beyond the
primary levels, according to Miss
Kabashima.
After the war, Miss Kabashima
was asked to work for SCAP (Gen-
eral MacArthur's headquarters in
Japan.)
Group Plan
Aids WSSF
-t
Fund Drive
By NORM RIVKEES
Leave it to a woman to turn up
with a unique soluticn to the task
at hand.c
That's what Nancy List, '51, a
aember of Pi Beta Phi sorority, did
when she hit upon a plan of "sac-
rifice dinners" enabling cooperat-
ing coeds to slenderize while con-,
tributing to the World Student,
Service Fund's current money
drive.
WSSF APPEALED, to all "or-
ganized houses"oncampus, in-
cluding fraternities, sororities, Co-
ops, League Houses, and residence
halls, suggesting group projects as
a means of avoiding the usual
method of assessment of individual
members to raise funds.
Miss List's idea will enable
her group to contribute between
$25 and $30 a month to WSSF,
at the same time offering slim-
mer waistlines and "sacrificing"
meat and dessert twice a month.
The idea took hold and "SAC-
RIFICE and SLENDERIZE" be-
came the rallying cry.
AS HER GROUP'S Panhel rep-
resentative, she suggested to the
sorority group that they take the
project back to their respective
houses for action.
Delta Gamma sorority did
away with its Sunday evening
"date supper" twice a month,
thereby giving about $20 a
month to WSSF.
Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa
Kappa Gamma and Collegiate
Sorosis followed Pi Phi's example
and are doing without meat and
dessert twice a month.
* * *
OTHER GROUPS, including Al-
pha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, and Chi
Omega followed in their steps and
are raising their WSSF contribu-
tions through similar sacrifice
plans.
Several of the men's groups have
caught on and are considering
similar projects.
To Talk on Drama
Daniel Quirk will speak on the
current New York drama season
before the University Club of Wil-
low Village at 8 p.m. tomorrow at
the Community Bldg. The public,
is invited.
Wilcox Attends YR Meet
Leonard Wilcox, '52, left yes-
terday for Northwestern Univer-
sity where he will chair a A;eering
committee planning a Big Ten
Young Republican Conference to
be held here March 25 and 26.
The conference will set up a
permanent organization of Big Ten
Republican clubs and adopt a poli-
cy platform, according to Dave
Belin, '51, temporary chairman.
THE PLATFORM designed for
presentation to the conference in-
cludes Young Republican position
on labor, the Hoover commission
reports, foreign policy, the United
Nations, government finance, na-
tional defense and federal aid to
education, Belin said.
"Our stand on labor will back
the Taft-Hartley Act in princi-
ple since it is an expression of
freedom of the working man
from exploitation by both man -
agement and labor executives,"
Belin said.
The platform will also urge
adoption of the Hoover report, "a
real bi-partisan foreign policy,"
and means of strengthening the
United Nations, he added.
Young Republicans here will
hear the proposed platform at a
meeting Wednesday.

EASTERN TOUCH IN STOCKWELL-Miss Toshiko Kabashima,
a Japanese student at the University, admires her "hane tsuki,"
the Japanese equivalent for a badminton racket. The game is
played by Japanese women on New Years and throughout the
Holiday season.

IN THIS ORGANIZATION she
served as Women's Affairs Ex-
pert of the Women's Information
Branch of the Civil and Educa-
tional Section.
"It was my job to travel
throughout Japan, encouraging
local and national women lead-
ers to organize a new democratic
type of social, economic and po-
litical group," Miss Kabashima
said.
*>*
"Moreover, Japan's new consti-
tution provides for the equality
of men and women before the law
and accordingly much legislation
is being enacted to raise women's
status," she explained.
"It is encouraging to see many
of the Japanese women become
aware of their potentialities al-
though there are still some who
remain contented with the old way
of life."
