Mhe Mita Campus this month puDlishes an eight-page special edition in commemoration of its '50th issue.Smce its maugura"on in 1946, the Mita Campus, with -b:tts laNrge eirculation abroad, has

gi{!.'tdone much for the promotion of understanding and goodwill be- tween the Japanese generatien and those of the world. The Mita Campus maintains a unique posltion among a few student English-language news- papers in Japan. It comes out regularly every month, while others are pubhshed rather ir- regular!y. It also has been en- joying the widest eirculation not only mside Japan but also ali over the world. For commemoratmg the occa- sion Jf our 50th pubhcation, the Mita Campus features its history and circulation and the present state of affairs of English langu- age newspapers m our country. To our earnest readers and a number of alumni, who have rendered us wholehearted co- operation to rnake this event pos- sible, we dedicate this special edi- tion and ask them to retain their goodwill ever more.

Ushioda Sends a Message to the It is a great pleasure that we can havein Keio a students' paper in Englishwith its fiftieth press history I have read

through every issue of the Campuswith much interest, though roughly.As eompared with editions of its intantdays, the Campus has been improved toa considerable extent. It is very happyfor me to say that the campus has nowsome thmg of a students' newspaper. Although the difference in the langu-ages used makes no drstinction in theessential role of newspapers, the Cam-pus ha sto display its speciahty in play-mg 'these two roles: to make the freshreaders more familiar with newspapersin the English language and to mform

Mitaoverseas of what is going on in Keio.To put it otherwise, the Campus canand shoutd take up the matters whichits counterparts in our mother tonguedo not. In my view,'rhe achievement ofthe Campus in this pomt is up to nowfar from my expectation. I hope the Campus will find itsgrounds for improvement m this sphereand get away from the stereotyped styleof the Japanese press, My suggestion forthe Campus to attain this purpose isthat it will be helpful for the Campusto have an affiliation with students' pa-pers of foreign universities. In eonclu-sion, I should like to add that the sincereefforts of the members are the key ele-ment for the success in everything.

Congratu/ations By Prof. Junesay-.Iddittie

Editor of the Waseda Gua•rdian

As editor of the Waseda Guar-dian, an English language studentpaper at Waseda University, I amvery glad indeed to Iearn that eurconfrere The'Mita Campus is go-mg to celebrate its 50th issue bypublishmg a special number. Itis with feelings of sympathy,lriendship and appreeiation thatI welcome your invitation to sendyou a message of greetmgs onthe happy occasion. You oughtto be congratulated on the suc-cess you have so far achieved inyour venture, a venture that re-quires in great measure initlatlve,courage, enterprise; for I knowfrom my own (bitter) experienceit is a hard job for a group ofcollege students, 1ittle aided fman-cially by the University authori•-ties and little supported morallyby the student body, to. carry onsuch a publication for someiength of time. The best plan Ibeheve is to make the paper mtoa marketable ware. That will helpyou financially. Many difficul-ties you must have eneounteredm the course of your work. Andso my message is: "Fight it on,you guys, and keep the flag fly-ing2'

May I take this opportunity tosay a few words on a theme whichyou may fmd of mterest: EnghshWriting and Japanese StudentsIt is my belief that Japanese col-lege students would do well tocultivate the art of Engksh Writ-ing and that more should be donethan is done at present to en--eourage them in the practice. Imake this proposal because theJapan of today, as regaids verbalcommunieations between nations,is placed at great disadvantage.This drawback affeets our countryin many helds of international

To The Student Staff, [ehe MitaCampus: We aye indeed happy to extendto our sister publica,tion, The MitaCampus, our heartfelt congratulations on its fiftieth issue.

It is with great pride in pointingout that English language studentnewspapers such as the MitaCampus and the VVaseda Guardianhave atta,ined an indemitable posi-tion among college publications.Through our respective organiza-tions we have been instr!umentalin bridging the two cultures ofthe West and the East as well asdisseminating news of interestamong the student populace. We earnestly hope that thisgreat oecasion will stimulate furNpther effort upon the WasedaGuardian towards promotingamicable relationship with ourfellow students abroad, All Members of The Waseda Guardian

seventeenth and eighteenth cen-tuires. Let me cite three examples,one from each eentury, showmgwhat a position the English ton-gue occupied m those days withregard to its value as an instru-ment of international eommunica-tion. You know the story of LordBaeon, best 1Åqnown among Japah-nese students of EnglJsh for hisEssays, that he felt uncertam asto the Rer!nanencyL of hifi na!ionqJ

l

Guardianlanguage, He had translated hisEssays into IJatm; and in dedicat-tmg the Enghsh and Latin volu-mes to Lord Buckingham, he says:'` ... prefix your name beforethem, both in English and in La-tm. ForIdo believe that the La-tin volume of them, (bemgm theuniversal language) may last aslong as books Iast." The authorof Paradise Lost had onee acted asLatin secretary to Cromwell. Hisappointment was due to the factthat he was regarded as the bestLatm writer of England at thattime. The publication of DefensioRegia in 1649 by Salmasius, pro-fessor at Leyden, Holland, occa-sioned Milton's opportunity to putin operation his powers as a Latinwriter in his Pro Populo Angliacano Defensio (1651). In theeighteenth century, the Age ofVoltaire, no Englishman couldpretend to be a gentleman unlesshe knew how to speak and writeFrench, as is attested by the faetthat Lord Chesterfield begins theseries of his famous Letters To HisSon with two epistles written inthe language of Voltaire. Above examples I hope willhave convinced you that for aJapanese student to write Englishis no breaeh of patriotism, nor ashame to his honour.

lMita-Festival

A Great Success

The tape of the conventionalMita-Festival was cut down inNovember 13, under the aus.pieces of the Mita-Festival Execu-tive Comrnittee. Thousands ofpeople, families and friends ofundergraduates, came to the Hillof Mita to see the fruibs of stu-dies and other programs, The Festival was quite suceess-tful on both days in spite ef badweather. (especially the slightrain on Sunday) It was congratu-lated too from the sky by theairplane piloted by a member ofthe Society for the Invebtigatienof Aeronautics of Keio Univer-sity. Keio Studenbs' Cultural Orntganization League rnade great efdforts in every direct'on, such asthe social seienees, natural gc•i.ence, music, fine arts, hobbies etc,Therefore, the contents of the fetedeserved Keio's fame. In the school buildings manyexhibitions, gifts of the efforts for

the past one year, were displayedby each association. Variouskinds of exhibitions of such art aspictures, Japanese penmanship,the tea ceremony, stills of actorsand actresses etc., with adequatebackground musie, played an imdportant role in making the celeb.ration a great suceess,

"Reconstruction "Campus: Let's begm with askmg about the first impressions you receivecl,

H: At the pomt of gathermg my

eirsk impression, it is very dif- fieult for me but, the rapid re- eonstruction and the moderm- 2ation impressed me the most.Campus: Mr. Ctriffin?G: I was impressed with Japan's ability to reconstruct. I first came to Japan in 1946, and knew Japan only as the enemy eoun- try for four years This tim.e, it was very mueh like 1 expeet- ed. It was as excitmg and in- terestmg as it could be. Be- fore, it was almost mysterious. Xt was a dark seeret to us. It was fasematmg to see each httle incident, and it was interesting, even walking the streets. This time too, I stilZ have the same feelings, and it is very interest-

eelmpresses me. . . ing to walk the streets, and seel the everyday hfe of the Japa-

neseCampus: Mr Dodat?.D: Bon.

Campus: Mr. Soukup, what are your impresslons?S: My impressions are mueh the

same as Mr, Harootunian. I appreciate the courtesy shown to me. Lots of help has been given and foT this ! am very grateful. I s'Ludied much of Ja- pan m America, but I wasn't aware of the extent of the bombmg of Japan. I was im- pressed by the Japanese stu- dents' trentendous desire to learn about the westem world and their knowledge of the

West. -Ca,mpus; Indeed, there are many fme bLuldmgs in Tokyo, but are not some unneeessary for the people? For example the paehmko houses can be seen everyvLThere.

S: I see m Japan many signs of 'a hrm moral foundation but pachinko is a sign of another thmg, High moral sense and gamblmg are two contrasting things, but I fee! that in the end Japan's h!gh moral sense will emerge victorious.

"I knew Keio's tradition. . ."

Campus: What was your motive for wanting to study in Japan?D:I came to study the Japanese language and its literature. I .q.uppose Japanese 1iterature is not interesting to the foreign people. It's so in Franee and there are very few who study it. That's why Japanese litera- ture is isolated.H: Sinee the far east is becoming to play an mipoTtant role in m-- ternational affairs I think it is basic to study this area.

Campus: What was your rno- tive for choosmg Keio?H: I knew there were many good members in the faculty of His- tory, I apphed for both Keio and Todai. Fortunately, I was sent here. The faculty of Eeo•- nomic History is, I thmk, super- ior to Å}hose of any other Japa- nese universities. I came here to write my doctoral disserta- tion on Modern Japanese His- tory.S: I knew about Kelo's tradltion, its wonderfu1 reputation, and that ir was 1!beral and had many international contacts. Also, I am espeeially interested m far eastern government and about Japanese governm.ent arLd poh- tics, and thought Keio would be an excellent place in which to study these things further.G: A Japanese Prof., Tatsuji Ta- keuchi, iri Columbia tDld me about a good prof. of Modern Political History, Prof. Naka- mura of Keio. and so ! wanted to study the universal manhood suffrage movernent undi2r him, speelfically.

Campus Did you know abouti Keio m the U.S.? pm; Yes, through Teading and through famous persons.t Campus: Fukuzawa?lH: y- es and prof Kanetaro No- ' rnura of Economie History. Campus: Did you read hirn?H: Yes, I am acquamted w!th

some of his work. Campus: How long did you study Japanese?H: For about four years and a

half. I have read Japanese books on Japanese History and Civilization,

Cttmpus: Mr Dodat, how long have you been studying Japa- nese?P. For two years.Campus: How did you study it?D. I studjed it by myself, as there

zs no sehool to mstruct Japa-nese m France. I arrived inJapan three months ago andafter that I can study Japaneseeverywhere.

"Studients' spirits are

somewhat similar, . ."

Campus: How did you feel when you attended the lectures for the first time?G: I have attended a lecture en

Modern Japanese Political His-tory, but it was so erowded Ihad to sit in the back and it washard to hear, lt was also diffi--cult to hear through a miero--phone, but I thmk I will be ableto understancl gradually,:I am attending a leetuce onlabor problems. Everybodyseems inte!'est.e.d and conseien-tious. There is a gioup-feel-ing.

Campus: Is there any great dif- ference between the 1ife of Ameriean university students and that of Japan?H: Basically no, but there are some differences in the student hfe. Amenean schools seem more disciplmed, that is more emphasis is placed on course work.S: The universities here seem to be rnore hke European unwer- sities. Less emphasis is placed upon attendmg leetures and more emphasis m hbrary study and personal relationship with professors The graduate stu- d.ents' privileges are greater in the U.S. They can enter the hbrary and borrow books freely.G: I don't know too well because I am not acquainted with Japa- nese students yet, but ! thmk

s

they are very mueh alike I am treated 1ike a guest or a visitor, and m America I was just another student, so it would be difterent for this rea- son Japanese students are stud!ous m the same degree. Not all U,S. students are eon- cerned exclusively with the so called "praeticaY' studies as you might thmk m Japan Many study thmgs that will he of use for improvmg their mindsCair.pas: What about Japanese students' temper?S: I haven't noticed too much dif- ferenee. Students' spirits are somewhat similar, and they have the same ideahstic views. They are courteous College basebrail :,s more popular in Ja-- pan than m the U.S,Campas: How is the co-education in the U.S.?G: It is quite all right We have to know girls sooner or later. So it is a nice th]ng to know them whi}e we are young; then we won't have any troubles m lceepmg company with girls after we get mto society. Even in America, some students think it waste of time to have fun with girls while they are students.Ca'm"pus: What is your impres- sions of Keio students, Mr. Do- dat?D: Keio students don't seem to

dltlon, many communlstlc stu-. aient boides are organized. But the ma]ority of the students are agamst communism.Campus: How is the student movements on pohtical pro- blems in the US.7H: It is not so active in the U.S. as in Japan, though in the Univ. of Mich., there are young Re- pubhcan and young Democrat groups, We also have a SDA (Society for Democratic Action) there.

Campus: By the way, do you thmk Japan is understood by students or people of Americe?

S: The majomty of the U.S people don't always study Japan. But they are aware of some of the trade problems. Some Republi- can and most Demoerates are trymg to lo" er tariffs and seem to be aware of Japan's problems as Å}ar as trade is concerned.

Campus: What do you thmk about the anti-Ameriean feehng among some Japanese?S: Anti-Amemcan feelmg is to- ward Amenca's policy,.rather than towards its people, The

motives of the U.S.- are for thebenifit of other people too.Arnericans hke to be liked. TheU.S, is generally sorry and feeisjust as bad for the victims ofthe Bikini Case as the Japanesedo.

"To enter a U.S. ul[niversity. . ."

Campus: Nowadays, competition in entrance exams has become naore diMcult in Japan. Is it the same m the US.?H: No, we can usually enter ayS- university -e please from high " school. But it is diMcult to graduate frcLm it.

S: If you have a B average inhigh school, you can enter al-most any college you wish. Ifyou don't have a B average,you must take exams, On en-tering a graduate school youmust have no less than aBaverage.

"EmploymentCampus: Next, we would zlke to hear about employment of stu-- clents in the USH: It is especially good in the engmeering facalty and busi- ness admimstration But on the whole, everyone can get a ]ob.

G: It is a httle bit harder d'or girls to .ctet Jobs, c-ven m AmEsr-

ica Girls have some disad- vantage beeause of their sex in getting ]obs.S: Now, the openings for profes-- sors are searce at the moment, but thmgs should improve in the future.Campus: Tbere is a tendency that some students capable of teach- mg have to leave school be- cause professors are under-paid comparmg with other ]obs. In the U.S,?S: In Amenca a professor's pay is not high. We want a certam standard eE living, but we rea- 1ize there are other thmgs more important than earning money.Campus: How is the students' at- titude for employment?S: In general, they are not so employment conscious as in Ja-- pan, but some are very con- scious ot the problem. College students realize that a college edueation is necessary for a good job. Therefore, a sizeable number go to college beeause a degree helps them to get ]obs.

Dr. Van Nostrand

Eclitoi's note:

Dr. Nostrand came to Keio withan introduction from Mr. D.Brown, President of the Umver-sity of California, after his retn'e-ment a Å}'ew months ago. He isnow lectumng on "Western Civi-lization."

The first question of the Cam-•pus was how he feels about hisstay here. Dr. Van Nostrandsaid, "Japan is not new to me,for I visited her for the firsttime in 1909 as a toumst, and mysecond stay was from 1952 to 1953as a teaeher of the University ofCalifornia Extension. !p- 1909 Istayed in Japan for about sixweeks, from Aprii till June. Ascompared with the past face ofJepan in 1909,Ican see aremark-able change. For instance, Japa-nese people enjoy'now western-music, say, symphony whichthey did not have in the days ofmy first visit. But the courtesy'and kind-ness I haa in 1909 stiliremains unchanged ..I don'tblame those Japanese who aredefiant to rush mto crowdedtrains for their loss of the pastcourtesy, bccause we are doingthe gncme in the United States."

Asked about his major, this oldhistorian explai!Led, "What Imajored ln is ancient history ofGreece, Rome and Spain. Mystudy is pursued from the econo-

imie rather than eultural angle. had lectured on these themesIIIat the university of california,ibefore my retirement fourtmonths ago.

The interviewers turned the theme to his view en mternation- al problem, in an attempt to have an American historian's view on such things. Dr. Van Nostrand said, "It is diMcult for the West- ern powers to ag]'ee to what the Eastern powers would 1ike.

But one thin.ct i's certain that anyone who starts a war is insane, m other words a third war won't settle any question.

Into what? Internation- ism? 1"otalitalianism? I don't know." He stressed, however, that he is hopeful in these mat-t ters. The final question was about the so-Nealled H-bomb hysteria. "Do you think it a hysteria?" IDr. Van Nostrand hesitated, ap- parently knowing the reporter's implication in usxog the word `hysteria.' `'I think it natural for the Japanese to be emotional on such an occasion. Sympathy is an emotion. But it is very re- grettab!e that neither Jft.panese nor Amerieans have Lhe full knowledge of this terrible fact." He finally added that he agrees with the opinion that H•-bomb problem should be taken up Åíram the standpoint of ]humanity.

AGLANCEBACKOVERTHEMITACAMPUS

By S. Hasui, Editor-in-Chief

The eight•-year-old history of

the Mita Campus, which thismonth celebrates the occasion of

its 50th issue, will be roughly

summarized below through theinterviews with the two formereditors-in-chief. This may betoo sketehy to be called history

but I anyhow picked up the mostimpressive incidents throughoutthe history of the Mita Campus.

The idea of starting an English-

language paper in Keio firstfiushed upon Susumu Ohya when

Mr. Ohya, founderof the Mita Campus

he saw the Waseda Guardian onthe occasion of the EnglishSpeaking Society Conference heldat Waseda University. Ohya wasthe ehairrnan of Keio EnglishSpeaking Society at that time.He and his intimate friend Horie 'also a member of KESS, joinedtogether and asked the help ofProf. Kiyooka in publishing anEnglish paper by students' ownhands. Owing to the whoie-hearted support of Mr. ShinichiHasegawa who is our alumnusand founder of the IY[ita Shim-bun (a Keio vernacular paper,the oldest student paper in theEast), members of KESS some-how persuaded the Nippon Times,in whieh Hasegawa is a staffwriter, to print the first issueson the condition that the expenseswould be paid from what theywould get by sellmg the eopies.

NEWSPAPER- issue of the August 15, was far from onlyEnglish composi-

The first issue came into beingon August 15, 1946 just one yearafter tihe end of the war whenour country was still in the midstof chaos. Now that first eclitionhad come out, the desperate cam•-paign of getting readers had tobe started immediately to payback the expenses. But unfor-tunately the students were not onthe eampus as it was during sum-

mer vacation. KESS membersthen decided to go to the GinzaStreet, in order to sell the paper.To rnake the circulation as largeas possible, they sohc!ted an-nouncement in the leading news--papers and the radio. The newswas thus publieized throughoutTokyo. The boys (there wereao girls then) stood in front ofthe Hatton Buildmg (PX atthat time) calling to the passingKeio boys and GI's to buy thepapers. Suxprisingly enough, al-most all the 20eO copies of thefirst issue were sold out in threedays!

For the title of tlie paper, twoproposals were made, the Keio,"vampus and the IM[ita Campus,and the latter which was anidea of Ohya was taken by themargin of only one vote by thepoll of all the KESS members. In the first issue, Ohya speak-mg to the reader stated "TheVJaseda Guardian is already be-mg published as Japan's first col-iegiate periodical m English. Init, however, there are not anyopinions of the students them-selves; those of the professorsand notable persons are the onlyepinions found in that paper. OurMita Campus, on the contrary,aims to be an English periodicalol the students, written by thestudents, and for the studentsthemselves. "It was by this spiritthat the Mita Campus was sub-titiled "THE STUDENTS OiATNPERIODICAL IN ENGLISH".Although there was printed underthe subtitle "Keio English Speak-ing Society", this practice wasabolished in 1947 from the 4thissue. This shows that the MitaCampus was separated from theKESS and came to be an inde-

pendent soeiety, as the pubhca- tion of newspaper is essentially mcompatible v,'ith the activities ,f KESS. In the very ear}y times after mauguration, the Campus met remptations from the Mita Shim- bun and the umversity authon- ties Both wanted the Campus Lo become their resn. eetive paper, but the then staff refused these offers to stay an indep paper m spite of all the foresee- able financial difficulties. It is by virtue of this retusal that the Campus has been quite free and unrestrained by any as its sub- title shows.

In !947 Ohya attended the America-Japan Student Confer- ence, where he showed the Cam- pus to al! the delegates, and as a result the Campus came to be known to all the universities and to some foreigners and obtained a very nice reputation. The circulation was further extended to abroad includmg the United States and European countries as Prof. Hiramatsu of Liaison De- partment (now the Jnternat!onal Dept.) started the praetice of sending the copies of the Mita Campus to the hbraries and uni-

Change by Lecturer Nishioka of'Åqeio University. These issueslaappened to come into the handsof the late Prof. Huntmgton ofYale University who had thesame theory, and an intimate cor-trespondenee between the twoscholars began. It was afterNishioka beeame world-famousthrou.ash the Mita Campus thatJapanese newspapers sensational-iy took up the Nishioka Theory.

On the 90th anniversary ofKeio's foundation, Keio had thehonor of the presence of theEmperor in the commemorationceremony. On his way back amember of the Mita Campus ap--proached him for an interviewand asked the emperor what hethought of the private colleges.He replied to the effect that hehoped for the development ofKGio but the interview was in-d

terrupted by the fiurried pohce. From the lst issue to the 12th,the Campus was a tabloid. Afterthat it eame to be printed ih thegeneral newspaper size of twopages. But a tabloid forrn wasrevived by the No. 31 issue, aspeeial number featuring tradi-tional Waseda-KeioSeries. This attempt was quitefresh for the Campus, but it that this was to a con-siderable extent successfuL Mem-bers of the Campus worked to-gether for the publication of 8-page issue which contained theunpreeedented artiÅëles, for in-stance, the mterview with theKeio and Waseda nmes. Thisissue adopted 8-point printingtype for the first time instead

BaseballIae

of the 9-point which had beenused until 30th issue. This gavethe Campus some quality ofnewspaper. Seeing that the re-cent issues are all taking afterNo. 31 special edition it seems tohave become the great steppingstone of the Campus. The editor-in-chief at thistime was Miss Samejima. Shewas the first woman editor, al-though there were a few co--edmembers before. There used tobe the women's department in theCampus at the early times and

their voices frequently appeareden the paper, but it was aholish-ed by Miss Samejima on theground that man and womanshould be equal in the activjties.

In 1951, when AmbassadorMurphy visited Keio, the Mita

Campus unfortunately wa$ al-ready in the press. Then the

Campus staff managed to report the news quickly in an extra edition, which was the frsF and the only attempt at an extra and has not bee"n repeated since. Onee Prof. Kiyooka received a letter from the editor of the NewIYork Times, Mr. Arth'ur Sulz-lberger, speaking highly of the hievement of the Mita Campus, The praise by the editor of the leading American newspapcr was quite surprising and brought a rapture of joy to all the members and encouraged them very much. The history of the Mita Campus may be roughly classified as, 1) the time of pioneering (1946- 1950), 2) the pemod of estabhsh- ing foundations (1951-1952), and 3) the years of deve!opment (1953-1954)

The Mita Campus is widelyeirculated throughout the world,especially through the UnitedStates. And in this monumentaloccasion, it will be suggestive forour further developmen! to knowwhat kind of persons, universi.ties, or institutions "re thereaders of the Mita Campus. The number of the universitiesto which the Mita Campus hasbeen sent and will be sent here.after monthly is about 80-U.S.A.7e (includmg colleges), England4 (Oxford Univ., Cambridge Univ,,Univ. of London and Westmin-ister Hospitai Medical School),Malaya 1 (Univ. of IM[alaya),Mexico 1 (Universidad NacionaFde Mexico), Switzerland 1 (Uni-versita de Neuchatel), New Zea-land 1 (Auckland Univ.), Ceylon1 (Univ. of Ceylon), Scotland 1(Glasgow Univ.), Canada 2 ÅqUni-

CONGRATULATIONS Mr. AIan D. Smieh 4 Former Fulbright A Student at Keio The publieation of the 50th edition of the Mita Campus marks a great achievement. It sym-• bolizes, m print, the faith and the courage that inspired the founders of this newspaper. Indeed, the preparing and pub- lishing of a newspaper in a langu- age not nat!ve to its editors and reporters ealls for the admirable qualities of hard work and sacri- fice. The enthusiastic and dihg- ent students who have built the Mita Campus possess such quali- ties to a high degree. The professional nature of the format, news stories and especial- "ly the editorial page represents apt knowledge of journalism of which the stafi inay be proud. No eri- tieism can be justifiably directed toward the Mita Campus and ibs evident policy of brmging student opinion on major local and world issues to the attention of its m- ternational audience. Together with this objective, the editors place emphasis upon the inter-- national aetivities of Keio Uni- versity, its faeulty and students. While being justly pleased with their suecess, the editors must at the same time continue to strive for improvement in the quahty as well as coverage of news and opinion. Perhaps this is the period in the active Iife of the paper when pohcy should be re-apprais- ed. This paper is now firmly established, has become a func- tioning part of the University's 1;•fe and thus is prepared tD iiLove

forward into new paths. z'The Mita Campus is one of the most important ties between Keio and its many English--speakmg friends both in Japan and abroad. For this reason,1 feel that greater emphasis eould be p!aced upon student activities of t'ne Univer-- sity, includmg the ma]or divi-- sions, the ]Mkta and Hiyoshi campuses. Many readers, unable to share the news m the Univer- sity's Japanese language news- papers, would probably appreciate a view into "on the campus"` ae- tivities at Keio. Student's Day, whieh attracted me to the campus last year, dis- played the variety of aet!vities available for student partieipation pt Mita. These are important as-• pects of the eollegiate education- al process and therefore deserve greater attention. I believe the readers would weleome this fur-- ther insight into Japanese uni- versity 1ife. On the international level, the Mita Campus has an opportunity to serve the cause of greater understanding. With the inter-# national nature of the English language today, this paper can function as a kind of link be- tween student bodies of liberal arts universities in many eount. ries. Student newspapers play a responsible role within the demo- cratie process - expression of opinion. I feel that the editors seinight investigate the ways and means of exchanging articles with student newspapers abroad. Al- ready the Mita Campus is !n contact with various American college papers. Here may be an opportunity to introduce what could be a new and worthwhi!e idea in international student joumalism. The Mita Campus deserves both hearty congratulations and con- •tinued encouragement. The fu- ture will bring adclitio-nal; growth

FROMMr. MaEcelm F. Reed

Secretary of Japanese Scholarship Foundation It has been my great pleasureto be a regular reader of [IIhe Mita

Campus during the past several years. The 50th issue of pub!iea--tion will indeed be a memorableoccasion, and the members ofthe

student body and the faeulty of your great University who have contributed to the success of The 'Mita Campus are to be congra- tulated! During the time it hasbeen my privilege to read yourfine newgpaper many changeshave taken place in Japan, strik--ingly evidenced by changes notedin [lhe Mita Campus itself. Many

'staff members have come and gone, and I'm sure that all of those whose efforts in the past have helped inake The Mita Campus what iu is today will antieipate reading the 50th issue. They no doubt will feel some nostalgia for the student life they must inevitably leave be-l hind, m order to make the!r own eontributions to the future wel- fare of their country and people. Those who today share m the task of producing your paper are worthy successors to the stafls of the past, and even today-while attendmg Keio University-can make their own contributions to the future of Japan. If I rnay make one suggestion, I would 1ike to recemmend that The Mita Campus regu!arly pub- lish an "inquiring reporter" eolumn in which Keio students are polled on their opinions about any subject of common or cur- rent interest. I will look forward to readingthe 50th issue of The Mita Campusand send you my most cordialgreetings on this notable occasion.

Mr. Frecldie Watkins Student of Duke University, N.C., USA. Congratulations to the MitaCampus and its staff on your50th issue. I am far from qualifi-ed to wmte a criticism of yournewspaper, but as an Americanstudent there are a few things Iwould like to say. The Mita Campus due to thelanguage which it is printed inmust cover both loeal and foreignnews and it seems to give a goodaccount of both. Most univeristypapers don't attempt to give sucha broad eoverage. Newspapershere pay for their printing byadvertisements and I am amazedto see only three in the Oetoberissue. A good start toward worldpeace is a better understandingof all peoples and nations, whiehis aided by just such attemptsas the Mita Campus makes. Yourreporters often are critieal andthey have a right to be, but p!ease talways try to look at issues fromboth sides ofthe picture. We herem America are trymg to under-stand and be understood. Themen attending Keio Universitywill soon be the leaders of Japanand they should seek truth andaid our leaders in world affairs.Eriendship can not be turtheredby isolationism. Contmue to printthe news as you see it and myfriends and I will do our best toshow you that we are and should6e allies.

and expansion as its loyal anddevoted staff endeavors to followthe ideals of responsible journal-ism. Best iascishes and good luek.

REAiDERSONMr. A. C. F. Westphae Staff Consultant, Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of RepresentativesTo the Editor of The Mite Campus. It is a real pleasure to expressto you my congratulations onthe occasion of the 50th issue ofThe Mita Campus. I have had theprivilege of reee!vmg and read-n!ng this paper for several years.The articles are informative andwell written, and the format isexcellent. My inabihty to expressm Japanese my appreetation foryour ]ournalistie endeavers is noreflection on my former teaeherand good friend, Eiichi Kiyooka.Only a year ago, Mr. Kiyookawas a generous and enthusiasticguide when I visited Keio Uni-versity. Smee its foundationKeio University has been knownto generations of American edu-cators. It has sent" some splendid l

scholars and students to theUnited States. In turn, our stu-dents and teachers have lookedforward to association with Keio,

These relationships do much tocomplement the efforts of ourGovernments to renew andstrengthen the bonds betweenour peoples. You may take pridem the tact that your Universityhas afn enviable reputation out-side of Japan. Such a reputa-

tion in the world of scholarshipis not easily or quickly acquired,It is the sum total of the effortsl

of generation of students andlteachers. You have a splendidopportunity to perpetuate andenhance that hemtage.

M;ss Marike Takagi Sophomore of Tekyo Christian Women's College I have been readmg your pa-per for three years, so it has be-eome very familiar to me. Thel)vfita Campus is always fresh andrich in quality and refinecl inEnglish so that we can get newtopics as directly as if we werethere and sometimes it helps mewith reflned English. The most interesting eo;umnsare `The Voice of Youth", re-tports by students, "Book Review",and "On the Screen", In thelatest issue opinions of Keio onthe Bikini case were really ex-cellent, calling our attention tothe problem of H and A-bombsagain. It seemed that the pointwas well taken m such a pertin-ent period. Seeond, I'm glad that now "TheVoice of Youth" will be taken upby the youth throughoitt theworld. ! think it is a very goodidea and students will be ableto exehange their tlioughts withthe youth of the whole worldtl)Lrough this column. I txpectsuch an exchange to be realizedvery soon. Third, I would like tg piPck out

"On the Screen", once•-called`-Movie". WhenIleoked Lhroughthe last issue, a beautiful photoof "Twenty-four Eyes" attracted :me very much. I'm sure thateverybody felt beautiful and live-•ly. Not only good photos onthe sereen but also good photostaken of the campus sueh asfour season on the campus, aredesirable. Lookmg back upon these years,i+.'s remarkable that the MitaCampus has been making somveh progress in many diree-•tions. I heartily wish to youcontinue prothotmg the goodcharacteristics of the students'own periodical, the Mita Campus.

'50TH ISSUEMrs. Davicl M. Mtle Massachusetts, USA, I am honored that you shouldwant me to wmte something foryour 50th anniversary issue.There are so many things ior astudent to Iearn these days whenthe whole world is liaving"growing pains" that I put downsome that seem most importantto me. A student paper is importantbecause students are important.They are the future leaders, anda publieation gives everyone anincentjve to express themselvesDiseussion groups are important-any exchange of ideas thatbrmgs more understanding ofworld problems-for how bettercan be work for world peacethan by understanding the pro-blems others Tradition, teachmgs, ways oflife are very dfferent, but surelywe eannot be so very diffe!entunderneath. The diMculties of a largecountry hke the United States areoften misunderstood beeausesmall mimorities make a bignoise and everyone is free to saywhat he thinks-unless it is toincite violence. And vLrhat givesthe United States its stability, it$resourcefulness, its creativeness'?It is the mixture ot nationalitiesworkmg together withm its bor-ders. If they can work togetherwLthin one country could not itbe possible for them to worktogether m the world? We neecllots or good will and no "chipson the shoulder". A student's thought and ac-tions effect the future of hiseountry, and he should teel aresponsibxlity for h!s country, hisUmversity, and himself.

A small group of boys (it wasbefore Keio had co-education)appeared and began publishing anEnglish language paper to intro-duce Keio to foreign people andto make friends among them.They named it the Mita Campus.They were entirely on-their own;

MITA CAMPUS" By ProF. Eiichi Kiyooka,

"I am Keio" is the expressionwhich, the old timers tell me, wasoften heard among the Keio menot a generation ago. The expres-sion is no longer heard, but thespimt is still there. Very few or-ders are given by the universityauthority at any time, but thestudents and the faculty membersare always engaged in some kindof activities which often bringforth surprising results. All forthe glory of IÅqeio, or for the funof those engaged-the two areoften one and the same thmg. Pubiication of the Mita Campus, am sure, is one of the remark- examples ot the spirit. It dunng the contused days the war when the univer- was in awful difficulty with than two-thirds of its lost by the air bomb- and by the foreed aeqursition the occupying Army. The author!ty had no time to ink of new aetivities. All they do was to try and provide

honorary president

they expected no aid or encour- agement from the sehool at least in the beginnmg, except from one faculty member who provided help m the language and the use of a typewriter. They had no money and no experience. But with the boundless energy and the hopefulness of youth, they somehow created a paper and kept it going. The story has been told before and again elsewhere in this issue.And so, ! will not now indulge

myself in reminjseences; I will only repeat that Keio is support-ed and carried forward by a spiritwhich makes eve]'y student, or a

tteacher, a respectable member ofla family that is Keio. one may

initiate anythmg, and•he knows that k.is work will be respeeted if it is good. In some respects the students and teachers are equal, for every one is conseious that he is a pupil of the founder, Fuku-

zawa. No one works for Keio, for is Keio. One may enjoy his to the full in the sehool, and his taste is good, he will 'be tributing to the uplifting of school. With such a spirit Mita Campus came to be

he life if con- the the andLnarched on. The members changeevery year as the elder studentsgraduate, but the paper is beingissued without a break and willbe, I trust, forever. . .. '

"THE SroRY

Prior to Culture Day's goldenweek from Nov. 1 to 6, the moviesput on the screen last monthwere generally dull. But amonbesthem, "Shio-Sai", which wascommented on in the book re-view sect!on of the last issue, and"Jiro Monogatari", the story ofJiro, engoy a rather good reputa-tion.

Here we take up the latter. It$t adapted fro mthe first part ott.he novel of the same title by K.Shimomura, a famous writer ofi noveY his]'uvenile literature. Thisis one of the best sellers, thoughinconspieuous. Jiro is an Lm-happy boy who was putthe care of a nurse as a baby, andwho, when he entered thementary sehool, was brought backhome against his will, for he andhis nurse loved each other verymu;ch. it'e cannot forget his oldnurse.

SIX-UNIVERSITY ART EXHIBITION HELD The third Tokyo Big-Six Uni-versity Art Exhibition was held

under the auspices of the Tokyo

Big--Six University Art Federa-

tion, from November 9 to 14 atthe seventh floor of the newly-built Toyoko department store at

Shibuya in Tokyo. 151 worKs were seleeted from300 by nine exhibition ,ludges anddisplayed m such order as To-kyo, Waseda, Mei]i, Keio, Hoseiand Rikkyo University. The pamtings of the exhibitionvxere not hmited to any artist!csehool which have their own spe-cial prmciples. Therefore it m-cluded all kmds of arts and formsof drawmg of the present artistic

world, We eould see the earnest effortsof the students in their mtentionto study the essence of art underthe traditional atmosphere of theTolÅqyo Big-Six University.

In spite of the fact that these

were drawn not by art schoolstudents, but by university stu-aients as hobbies, some of theworks were very excellent.

The exhibition-hal! had beenfi11ed wlth many speetators, es--peerally students during the ses-sion.

It ean be said that this artexh!bition was very significant asa part of the students' culturalaetivities. (Ishii)

the fall, he is to be a great man.At the night of his tenth birth-day, his mother, who is cons-cious of her illness beeommgmuch worse, calls the nurse toher side. As soon as she makesan apology to the nurse saymgtnat to love the chi]d is to brmghim up, she breathes her lastbreath. Jiro and his nurse weepm each other's anns, and hecletermines to be an honest andgreat man as he looks up at thebnght full moon m the sky. Jiro's boyhood, and the beauti-fu1 and pure country hte, whieh?Te picturized in the above men--tioned film, recall to our memo-•ries the dear pictures of our gooddays of boyhood.

Though the musical recordingis not excellent and some actorsseem some"rhat unnatural, it isa pretty good movie, especiallyEor the tender boys and girls,and their ,parents. The serialmovie which describes Jiro's boy-hood may be put on the sereen,but I dorft thmk it will be sogoocl as this, because the secondpart of the original work is notso good as the first. (Oehi)

EDITORIAL On 50th Issue On publishing the 50th issue ofthe "Mita Campus", all the mem--bers since the first issue to thepresent are more than overjoyedto be able to meet this occasion.Ever since its first publication,we have strived to the utmost oiour powers to fulfill our aims ofacquiring better knowledge ofEnglish through writing it, andat the same time to make thispaper an organ for the Straight--forward 'descrlption of the Keio$tudents' activities and theirviews, and also for introducingKeio to the readers abroad for abetter mutual understandmg ofeaeh other. Though we proudly presentthis issue"we are not bold enoughto admit that our activities havemet the expectations of all ofthe readers, and that there is noxoom foT improvement of our pa-per. However, we are determin-ed to keep m mind the difficul--ties the founders of the "Cam-pus" were confronted with, andrnoreover we must not allow theardbnt endeavors of our alumniin improving our paper to be left

m vam. Though the number 50 mayseem small to rnost people, it hasmore than a numerical meaningto us, We realize how slow pro-gre$s is, but we believe that thegeod traditions have survived, andbad ones have died away, or arein the stage of fading away. We would like to express ourgratitude for our many kind rea-ders for their ericouragements andtheir impartial eriticisrns whichhave he!ped us to achieve ourpresent standard. We hope the day will comewhen we can look back and saythat the 50th edition was rnerelyone of the stepping stones inreaching our aims,

"Step For Etnploymenk ?" The eompetition m getting jobsis becoming harder clay by daybecause of the cur}'ent defiation-ary policies, and this year has be--eome the hardies'L of these severalyears. Almost all the students inthe highest grade seem to devotethemselves to finding employ-ment rather than to study. Thistrend, however, might be tolerat-ed if it were confined to thosewho are to be graduated nextspring. As a matter of fact,juniors, sophomores, and evenfreshmen are too anxious aboutthelr future employment to studyfor study's sake. They are like-ly to choose those subjects whichare easier to get the units in, orthose that will be of some usewhen they undertake employmentexaminations a few years later.They certainly know quite a fewthings which they have gainedby means of memorizmg, butthey seldom try to get somethingout of their own thinkmg Everythmg they do is, more orless, cQnnected with employment.

"Students who take up such andsuch seminars are welcomed insuch and sueh compames."`` Those who have learned certainsubjects have advantages insecuring employment."

These remarks are often heardat the beginning of every newterm. With all these faets, onecan reasonably thmk that univer-sities are nothing but preparatoryschools for employment. Does theaim of the university educationlie there? No, it should not ex-eluswely consist in fostering of-fice employees or somethmg ofthat kmd. A university is a plaeewhere we study m order to sub-limate ev.r personalities, to deep-

en our insight and to promoteour sentiment, that is, in shortto attam a power to ]udge thmgscorrectly.

In learning with all the aimsmentioned above, we often comesupon a time when we have tolearn what appears to be quitemeamngless for the life both pre--sent an dfuture, and moreover,demands us high exertions, andwhen the outlook of certain sub-)ects seem to indicate that anyfurther inquiry into them wouldbe useless and that we would nothave any inconvenience in leadingan ordinary life even if we stop-ped learnmg there and got downto another subJect. When wesuceumb to the thought of learn-ing things whose acquisitionmakes no difference in actualsides of hfe, and enjoy an "easy-going" way, then, and only then,universities become somethinglike preparatory schools andmass produetion factories of shal-low mmded jolly students. How-ever, it is not proper to blamethose students alone who aretrazed for securing jobs, forget-ting what the universzty lifeought to be. There are good enough reasons:hat they are, or rather, have tobe overly practical. When every-thing is tight and the world itselfis losing its warmth, men wouldchange into something like a ma-:hinery with whom neitherthoughts nor sentiments do existbut severe and monotonous real-ities. In this eondition we maybe asking a 1ittle too much if weexpect them to $tudy for study'ssake.

But here, always thinkmg howto make life's journey with theleast efforts, we will become

"Making A Dream Come True" B] Shusu ShimtÅía, Freshman ofLit. DePt.

"Now is the time to estabhsh a World Federal Union." We have often heard this slogan laughed away by politieians and members of the Intelligentsia. But in view of the immense destructive power of the hydrogen and atom- ic bombs, friction between na- tions and petty ideologies are small things mdeed. This fact [tlone has made many who for- merly laughed at this slogan turn back for an analysis of its true lmportance. Even before the Bikini H-blastt infiicted such suffering and dam-d

age upon Japanese fisherman, international eontrol of atomicenergy was pleaded for through-out the world. However, I feelthat the action taken consistedmore of talk than genuine effort.Some people say that this problemshould be taken up by the UnitedNations, but if that organizationcould solve the problem, it wouldhave done so already. AlthoughI respect and value the UnitedNations highly as a soundmg--

board of world opmion, it ean safely be said, I believe, that we can only solve the diMeult ques-• tion of the control of atomic energy by realizing at the outset that the polieies of the United Nations are nowhere near deci-sive enough. The utmost the

United Nations can possibly do is to draw up another of theIinternational treaties. Consider- ing sueh a tready m the light of past effielency, one must assume that it would be far from trust-i worthy, for it could be too easily vrolated.

We, the moderns, ean not afford to let history repeat itself! What

wearisome men with no smart--ness. Then the world will bestill more colourless and harderto 1ive in. Needless to say, thisis "hat no one desires. We mustr-errLember that we are young andare supposed te play an impor-tant role in the many years tocome. The futuer is upon ourshoulders and no one else's.

then is the best way to leadatomic energy into the confinesinternational control? I firmlybelieve that the only way leftto us is to exchange the hackney-ed treaty system for a moremodern law-governing system.In other words, it must be de-finitely decided what the manypeoples of the world want or donot want and what they need inorder to hve in peace and har-mony with one anothet. Then abody of law must be establishedto protect those interests. Thisbody of law, in effect a worldconstitution, should be the ab-solute and supreme law and notsubjeet to'the whims of nationalpolrtics.

Ior mtsance, the two billionfive hundred million people ofthe world are persisting more andmore m their demands for in-ternational eontrol of atomicenergy and the uneonditionalprohibition of its use for militarypurpose:. On the basis of thisplea, an article can be drawn upto fit into the world constitution.Only through this constitutioncan we make the people's earnestrequest come true!" We musteonsider an organization destinedto perform many things. Primari-ly it must maintain peace andorder for the world. To do thiswe must.have a strong and reli-able world police force. Onlythus can the World Federal Uni-on, mankind's hope over thecentumes, be seen as a reality. New is the time to aet! Thesituation is as simple as this: AWorld Federal Union ... or ...destruction!
