SUNDAY, JANUARY 8, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE 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.

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. $10 SALE $10 of DRESSES " q Look!. ans like a soap . ..smooths .s * Gabardines * Satins " Wools * Rayon Crepes Sizes 9-20 Values up to $22.95 like a cream _ i -Daily-Wally Barth 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. . . cle , * 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."
