Looking Into the 1980's

- Global Problems --- During the 1970's, the nations of theworld strengthened their mutual depen-dency as compared with the past. Dueto the expansion of domestic econo-mies, the world has become compli-catedly intertwined economically. As aresult, the influence ef a nation's eco-

nomic management policies on theworld economy has grown. Also, problems en the scale ofgrowth of mankind such as finite natu-ral resources, the environment, popula-tion, international poverty, have be-come more important. To survive insuch a mutually dependent world, it isclear that each nation must observematters from a global standpoint, actresponsibly and strive to attain inter-national cooperation.

But, actualIy, few people are willingto sacrifice their own interests or a part

of their nation's profits for global wel-

fare. Looking at the world situation,economic nationalism and protection-ism tendencies have strengthened inmany advanced nations in their struggleagainst stagflation which has troubledthem since the oil shock. On the otherhand, the developing nations, althoughincreasing the gap amongst themselves,have strengthened their nationalism to-ward the out-side world. Confronted with such a situation, thegovernments of the world do admit thenecessity for international cooperation,but they find it difficult to balance`domestic regulation' and `international

regulation'. Therefore it can be saidthat the international goal for thel980's should be to break down thebarriers of nationalism, after recognizing

raciai differences and the existence ofdifferent nationai interests, and con-struct a new international order.

Job Hunting Has Started The Mita Festival Is ToBe Held 22--25, November

s'

As usual job hunting by universitystudents has started since October 1.Our senior students were busy in visitingcorporations and firms that they hopedto join. Now they are probably feelinguneasv about the entrance examinationsand making preparations forthem. Thesituation of employment this year issaid to be much better than that oflastyear. But the employers will imposerather hard examinations to get able andfavorable students from the view pointsof self-reliance and vigor.

On October 1, because of Typhoon16, the number of students who hadformed a line for the applicationthrough the night decreased comparedwith that of last year. But at TokyoMarine Insurance Co. (one of the mostpopular companies among students) atfive to six on the previous day, the first

student, who attends Waseda University,appeared. As to banks and tradingcompanies, which are very popularamong Keio students, students appearedas follows: at Mitsuibussan Co. theprevious day, at Fuji' Bank 4 a.m.; atDaiichi Kangyo Bank 5 a.m.

The Students That Employers areSeeking for

Under the present circumstan, ces oflow economic growth different from thehigh economic growth era when com-panies could enjoy great benefits, theemployers seem to be after vigorous andcreative students who 'work actively.For example, the Tokyo Marine Insur-ance Co. points out three conditions astheir elective standard: (1) a person who

can think logically based on extensiveknowledge and culture, and get aninsight into things, express his opinion

well, and also be able to persuadeothers; (2) a person with strong spiritwho can solve any difficult problemsunder any circumstances; (3) a personspiritually independent of others, andwho can deal with problems with firmbeliefs.

In this way, the employers havemany hard requirements, and this is theexpression of their great expectationsfor the students.

At Tokyo Marine Co.

Fer the Students to Join the Companies

Next Year

Actually, the job hunting this yearends when the entrance examinationsbegin. Sooner or later all you students,especially junior year students, wi11 bejoining the company. As we mentionedabove, the employers expect very muchfrom you, and the examinations aremade from various view points. Forexample, they rnay ask you how youspent your school-life.

These are only to test your personali-ty, and test if you try to achieve con-stant self betterment. So one shouldnot be confused at oral tests, from nowon. You had better think over whatyou have done, have been doing, andwhat you should do during this precioustime of life. This is surely usefu1 notonly for entrance examinations but alsofor your own life.

The Mita Festival is to be held under

the theme of "Walkin' again". Thistheme expresses the hope of improvingtoday's dull atmosphere, Mr. Okamoto(President of Mita Festival) said.

This year, many lectures are schedul-ed to be gtven by celebrities; a sympo-sium on the rapidly changing interna-tional situation by Prof. Yamazaki ofTokai University, Mr. Ikari from theAsahi, Mr. Kitazawa, a critic of inter-national problems, and Mr. Shihou areport-writer; a lecture on the petro-leum supply trend after the IranianRevolution by a managing director fromMitsuibussan Co. President Okamoto said that due tothe influence of the New Library Proj-ect, the opening of the Mita Festivalthis year had been doubtful. But withvigorous negotiations by the FestivalCommittee, the Mita Festival has be-come possible. HopefuIIy, those whocome to the Mita Festival will att.endthe events positively and make thefestival a success. Many movies and concerts are also

planned. Further details are shewn onthe Table.

The ]First Regional NGOs Seminar Survey'2•.i

f

)i

on The First Regional NGOs (NonGovernment Organizations) Seminar onAsian Environment was held Octobpri-5, at the University of Tokyo. Thismeeting, arranged by Mr. Jun Ui, aimedat promoting the fellowship of thosescientists in the world who are dealingwith environmental problems, and rec-ognizing many other current problemswhich we face today. Various kinds of participants, in-cluding Pref. Shigeto Tsuru, Prof.Kenichi Miyarnoto, Mr. A.BM. Musafrom UNEP (United Nations Environ-ment Plan), carne to this program to dis-

cuss the environmental problems andreported their own countries' situations.

Mr. A.B.M. Musa, a public informa-tion official at UNEP, reported the re-alities of international co-operationrelating to environmentai problems bas-ed upon the decision of the UnitedNations Human and Environment Con-ference held in 1972. Prof. Tsuru pointed out the existenceof a gap in the notion of environmentbetween developing and developedcountries, and praised that countries in,Asia had been maintaining the qualityof environment and trying to improve itby development. He also emphasizedthe importance of c!ose exchange oftheir regtonal experiences.

As case studies, many reports weremade during this session. From theJapanese side, Prof. Miyamoto at OsakaShiritsu University, pointed out theproblems of the industrial promotionpolicy in local areas based on large-scale

industries like petrochemical industries,and proclaimed that the policy had beencausing environmental destruction andwere not improving the finances ofautonomies at all.

Dr. Masazumi Harada at KumamotoUniversity explained the process andmechanism of Minamata disease. AlsoMr. Tsuginori Hamamoto, one of theauthorized patients of Minamata dis-ease, related the present situation ofpatients suffering from Minamata dis-

ease. "

sian E nvironment Was

From Asian countries' side, as theirindustrial development has proceeded,the fact that many compiex situationshad be'en created was reported by therepresentatives' of Singapore, Thailand,and other Asian nations. For example,the rapid aggregation of inhabitants hasled to poor living surroundings, fastmotorization has accelerated the aircontamination in urban areas, and ma-rine pollution caused by oil spills has

become serious. Mr. Krishnamy from Singapore stres-ses the importance of up-grading and co-ordinating pollution control measures,and of wider schemes to watch pollu-tion cooperation by some states.

The Environmentaf Destruction byJapanese Companies

Mr. Ed Carahan, a Philippinor, re-ported the present situation of pollutionexport from Japan. On the island of Mindanao, one ofthe major Japanese steel companiesdecided to build a factory with theassistance of PHIVIDEC (IndustrialEstate Authority) 1974. This was promoted by the enforce-ment of strong regulations for pollu-tants in Japan and by policies of intro-ducing foreign capital in the Philippines.

m$

HeldThis became a typical case of pollutionexport. Further details are as follows.

Waste resulting from the productionof iron sinter includes dust and waste

gas. Though dust collection systemsconsisting of cyclones, electrostaticprecipitators, and blowers are installed

to contiol waste, the plant has nopellution basement facilities for gasdischarge, the toxic sulphur oxides of

nitrogen, and mainly relies on rawmaterial control by selecting iron-orewith low sulphur content. The factoryhas been polluting both air and waterwithout any fundamental disposingmeasures. To the protesters against the factory,the factory side told them to go to thehead office located in a foreign count}'y.

This fact increased the complaint anddiscomfort of the inhabitants.

For better surroundings In the developing countries, with the difficulties of communication and edu- cation, they can't complain about the pollution or environmental destruction effectively. The inhabitants are compel- led to endure their present surround- ings. The Japanese companies investing in foreign countries especially in devel-

oping countries, must take account of these facts. We are all inhabitants of the one and only one earth.

How do college students spend theirspare time? In order to answer thisquestion, we had 200 students of bothsexes anwer questionnaires.

According to this survey, nearly halfthe students both male and female,mentioned enjoying music (records andlive perfoTmances) as a way ofspendingtheir leisure time. This shows how im-portant a role music plays in the life of

today's young people. Also, 35 percentof both male and female students men-tioned reading. The survey shows thatthey read on the average 3-4 paperbackbooks a month. Many students, also,answered that they spent their leisuretime in after-school activities, whichshows the importance ofclub activitiesin college life.

Looking at the differences betweenmale and female students, the surveyshows that while male students spendmore time in sports and gambling, fe-male students are apt to spend moretime on their hobbies such as embroi-dery, enjoying art, and shopping. Butonly 5 percent of the students attendsocial activities.

According to this survey, the college students spend their leisure time listen-

ing to music and participating cultural activities. So we can say that the stu- dents today prefer doing what they are personally interested in to social activi-

ties.

Further details are shown on t'he Table.

BOOK REVIEW Parkinson 's Formula for Business Survipal by C. Northcote Parkinson and ?Vigel Rowe. published by .P?etice-Hall In ternational ln e. London.

Parkinson, one of the wnters of thisbook, is famous for his Parkinson's lawand his name may be familiar to thepeople m Japan. Nigel Rowe,writer of this book, is now the director

'of Public information department atRolls-Royce Co. after having woiked atInternational Telephone and TelegramCo.

Nowadays we are exposed to a largequantizy of mformation with the rapiddevelopment of communication mea-sures. Nevertheless, we don't get somuch information and knowledge aboutthe real economic activities and com-panies' behavior, and we feel this factmost in Job hunting. Under such cir-cumstances, by way af massmedia andeducation, we have come to feel with-out knowmg it that companies are theenemies of a liberal system, which causepollution and make excessive profits.Though the fears and distrust towardscompanies increased, companies tookthe attitude of neglectmg the people,and did not react positively to try to get

rid ofthose unfavorabie feeling.

Parkinson thought this attitudecaused the people's unreasonable mis-understandmgs against companies. Inhis opinion, to outlive other companies,positive public-information activrties are

required, and smooth communication,not only inter-company but also inter-society between company and govern-ment, or company and society must beachieved. It's apparent that his defini-tion of information is to give the trueinfomiation about the companies'claims, and not to deceive the pub-lic by false expressions and misre-presentations. Parkinson shows severalconcrete public-information plans forGovernment Agencies, stockholders,employees, teachers and students, andenvrronmental protection groups fromthe company side. The plans referringto teachers and students are especiallyworth reading. In a way, this book points out theimportance, the strategy and the way ofpublic-information from the companyside very clearly and politely. By read-ing the case studies written m this book,

youll learn to understand the impor-tance of companies' public-informationin modern economies. This book isworth readmg not only to those who areinterested in public-mformation, butalso those who are dealing with how tecommumcate with each other.

Present-Day Have you seen KABUKI play? Thosewho have not may think that it is dif-ficult to understand. This is a case ofsheer mismformation. You might go tosee it as you would a movie or play. Itis true that KABUKI is a classical dramaand has many complicated features, butit was created as a drama for the com-mon people at first. It was a very popu-lar past time dunng Edo period. Sincethe Meiji period it has been developedinto an art by the KABUKI players. AsKABUKI became an art, the audiencelessened.

ENNOSUKE's KABUKi at the SUN-SHI)IE theatre this month is a must forthe youth. It is a good opportunity for

you to know KABUKI. It's certam thatyou wM be satisfied with his perfor-mance. He is largely responsible formaking anachronistic and feudal textsaccessible to the masses, stirring con-siderable mterst among the contem-porary youth of Japan in this art formof the Edo period.

In 1977, he presented KABUKIplays in the United States and m Eu-rope, receiving good revues. Thissuccess has encouraged him m doingpyrotechnic KABUKI. Recently a mem-ber of the MITA CAMPUS interviewedENNOSUIKE. Q: What do you think of present-day KABUKI? A: KABUKI is complicated evenseeing it as entertainment. Audiencehave traditional and constructive ties.On the contrary, audience abroad seeKABUKI without preconception. I havelearned how to create an interest in theyouth of Japan by studying the audi-ences abroad. Both have something in

common. Q: You have marked a new depar-ture in KABUKI, grving the youth whoare ignorant of KABUKI a chance to seethe performances.

A: I've done my best to makeKABUKI excitmg for the younger gene-ration too. I wanted to make KABUKImore appealing which has reduced as itdeveloped into an art.

Q: Does KABUKI have any philo-sophy? A: The essence of human spirit andtransmigration of the soul can be seen in

some KABUKI plays. His aim is not to deny artifice andthe revival of classicism in KABUKI but

to convey, through KABU[KI, in amodern form, the classical spirit whichis current m today's world.

General Impression by Yuk e bu e1tamura

;y

"N

.rk

"

New Orleans is one of the most attractive cities in U.S.A. because it is differentfrom ordinary cities in its history and appearance.

I stayed there last summer for one month. So I would Iike te tell about someof my impressions of New Orleans. I studied at Tulane University in New Orleans.The school buildings are widely separated on a large campus with old and big oaktrees which are characteri'stic of New Orleans.

People, animals and even automobiles move slowly under the strong sunshine;afternoon is a very sweet sleepy time. like the tropics, blue birds and red birds flyand crape myrtle fiowers in bloom are beautifuI. When I first arrived at New Orleans International Airport, it was late night andI was surprised at its sultry condition.

Every afternoon, about 5:OO p.m. it rained suddenly with loud thunder like thetropical zone.

On Bourbon Street

French Quarter is the most famous place in New Orleans. It is in the center ofdowntown. There are many restaurants, bars, Jazz halIs and antique shops.Bourbon street is always crowded with people of the French Quarter. After 8:OO p.m. all of the jazz halls opened. Aged black jazz men played cheer-ful and lovely music. But at the same time, somehow,I felt their music had asadand gloomy character. I might say, because of this, their music moved my heart. In front of the jazz halls, black boys were tap-dancing with the music playingin the halls. They danced through the night on the street.

Colorful neon signs, varieties of music from many halls and dancing boys onBourbon Street were mixed in my heart, that is to say it was like a kaleidoscepicdream.

Food and Drink

When I felt tired of hearing music and walking along the streets, I entered arestaurant. What I drank at first was called planter's punch and hurricane punch. Myfriend and I could drink these easily like a soft drink. Then we ordered raw oysterand fried shrimp and so on. New Orleans supplies delicious seafoods.

Another time,I ate "jambalaya" which is a very famous food there, and ismade of rice and seafood-sauce. Ihis was very heavy! It took much time to finish.And "maflet" is like a combination of sandwich and hamburger was also verydelicious.

The Mississippi Rgver

As I was satisfied with my dinner, I walked to Jackson Square which is locatedin the middle of French Quarter. Jackson Square was named after General AndrewJackson. But the history of this square is not so glorious. It is said that, whenslavery existed, eveTy mornkig dozens of slaves who had disobeyed their masterswere killed.

Passing Jackson Square, I reached the Mississippi River. After midnight, theriver glittered in the moonlight, starlight, and lights of automobiles and houses. It

was magnificent. Although in the daytime, it was very muddy and dirty, at night, it was verybeautifu1 as many couples chatted through the night along the river.

Blues

When it became 1:OO a.m.I would go back to the dormitory. Along the westside of French Quarter runs a big street named Canal Street. On the street, a blackpreacher sang the blues hoiding a Bibie in his hand. He sangloudly and said "Youshould believe in God ....". But nobody listened to him. [[he street cars run 24hours a day. I got on and returned to the university.

Again, Impression

New Orleans is a town of black people. They earn their living frorn whitetourists by means of their art or accomplishnents. I looked at the situation sadly,but they are living very spiritedly and they are coming to recognize they are African

people. So they wear African dress and hair style. I thought they tried to showtheir strong self-respect. Black people of this town seemed to have more joy thanthose who were in New York or Washington D.C. Generally speaking, as the South was more conservative, b}ack people had beenrestricted severely. But, my jmpression was that black people on Bourbon Streetwere far more free and lively than unemployed black people in HaTlem of NewYork City.

Jazz Band on the street

On Bourbon Street

We Japanese love taking hot baths.The custom oftaking baths differs fromthat of other cultures. We wash our-selves outside the tubs, then soak in abathtub to relax. Hot baths have be-come a necessity in preserving the Japa-nese's mental health. Almost all households have their ownbaths; however, in some cities andtewns families who have no baths go tothe public bathhouses. It is a social in-

stitution where neighbors gather toenjoy friendly cenversations whilebathing. Public baths have existed for about600 years. But it was during the EdoPeriod with the growth of urban com-munities that the public baths have be-come popular. Today, there are no co-ed bathhoUses, having been forbiddendvring the Edo Period. Submerging oneself in a big bathtub,one eases the day's tension from one'sbody. Others enjoy gossiping. In thearea outside the tub people may be seenwashing their backs.

All men are equal when stripped oftheir clothes.

According to the Diamond 9-22, 1979, cement companies, whichconsumes a great deal of heavy oil, seems to change its fuel from oilinto coal and promote the dispersion of fuels. ' The Ministry of Inter-national Trade and lndustry (MITI) thinks this trend favorable, and willenforce the use of 20 percent domestic coalin their coal consumption.According to MITI's expectation, the consumption of coal will reach1.7 million ton at 1980, 3.8 million ton at 1985, and 7 million ton

ultimately. ' In this way, Japan as a resource-lacking country, must acceleratethe dispersion of energy and get a stable position in attaining energy.At the same time, new energy resources, atomic power, wind power,tidal current power, terrestrial heat and solar power must be studiedand exploited steadily. In spite of the poor technology, new atomic power plants are builtby the government and oppress the inhabitants neighboring the plants.One says that the present atomic power plants are stepping stones tofurther advanced atomic power plants so that some troubles can't behelped. But as we see, in the case of Three Mile in U.S.A. atomic powerplants have a great infiuence on the larger area and create great puiDlicdamage. So when using atomic power, a deliberate plan and absolutesecurity must be guaranteed. And to check procedures, technologyassessment must be enforced. As to the dispersion of energy by using coal, what anti-pollutiondevices are prepared if coal is used? It's true that a great amount ofmoney is required to prevent pollution, and this' may be a drawback forinternational competition. But we can't agree to sacrifice the environ-ment to maintain the efficiency of economic growth. Therefore toprevent e.nvironmental destruction the enforcement of environmentalimpact assessrnent and further environmental assessment is necessary.From the short-term view pojnt, some developments may be consideredfavorable because they provide human-beings with such good facilitiesand convenience as sight-seeing roads in mountain areas. In the long run, the destruction of the environment affects human-beings negatively. Therefore a firm policy based on a long-term visionmust be planned because after all the aim of politics should be thebetterment of human life.
