Shintaro Ishihara, 52, a novelist anda member of the House ofRepresenta-tives, is also known to us as a father offour Keio stztelents. Throtigh theyearsof his experienee and discipline in litera-

ture, in politics and at home, he nowseems to have st}'ong .faith in thesecircles and have shrewd opinions espe-cially on `edueation'or `stitdent lifle1

He recently spoke with 7-7ze MitaCampus about his school days, recenteducational problerns and about KLEIO.Exeerp t;

.:ÅÄ ",e "A'.

STAFF: To begin with, we would like to ask what your school days were like. Looking back upon it, what comes first in your mind? Is there any differences between your school days and ours?Mr. Ishihara: Before answering your question, let me tell you the histori- cal background. In those days, Japan was restoring economically from the damage of World War II. In other words, we were in the transitional period from poverty to wealth. So we did not have much money but had enough time. I was living in a dormitory with cheerfu1 colleagues and everyday sVas like a "omatsuri"- drinking, singing, and come to think of it, they were something more like "Bankara (rough and couth) days" that I have lost for long. In my school days, I enjoyed everything I did. Therefore I have never envyed materialistically fulfilled youngsters.

STAFF: Some people say students or young people nowadays Iack indi- viduality. What do you think ofthis opinion?Mr. Ishihara: Young people seem to be drowning in an overflow of informa- tion which also make them top- heavy. According to a recent medi- cal theory, man expresses his feelings

or will by cerebrum, but receives them through the brainstem. So, stimulation of the brainstem is neces-

sary to develop our personalities. I

suppose young people lack the mental and physical training which stimulates the brajnstem.

STAFF: What do you expect from young people? •Mr. Ishihara: The recent trend ofedu- cation directs to make the faultless man, the "strait A student'", but such

a man would only suit the bureau- crat. Students should not aim to get

an A average but strive to get a "Super A" in one subject. Japanese are good at improving the ideas brought about by another people, but lack the ability of creating self-

reliant ones. For Japan to catch up with the Big Powers and to keep the top position in the world econemy, there is a desperate need for young people with unjque creativity.STAFF: What do you think of Rinkyo- sin (Provisional educational com- inittee of premier's private consulta- tive body)? Is there any differences between ibs ideas about education and yours?Mr. Ishihara: At present, one is praised for "getting in" to a university, but I would lilÅqe to see a change in which one is praised for being able to "get out". Students are here to stLtdy the subjects they want, but on the other hand professors should make any unqualified students stay a year more and should eliminate those who stay twice. If so, professors will probably

objec.t that it would be too much burden from them, but they must not forget their duty as educators, looking after their students all through their school life. In other words, the ideal university is one is easy to enter but difficult to gradu-

ate.STAFF: Lastly, would you give some advices to the freshmen who will be entering Keio Univ. tl}is Apri1?Mr. Ishihara: Let each man go his own way, reminding "Shonen oiyasuku gaku narigatashi (Art is long, time is fleeting).'7

RECONSIDERATION{

INDIA'SSuccession ot the post of 'pnmeminister by Rajiv Gandhi

On Oct. 31st, last year, the PrimeMinister of Inida, Indira Gandhi, 66,was assassinated by two Sikhs. Sikhsdeclared the assassination as a revengeagainst Indira's attack upon Sikh'stemple in June. After the assassination ••India went through almost two monthsof bloody revellion. Many people wereinjured and many Sikh houses werecrushed. Indira's cabinet men hurriedthe succession of election, as opposing ,

candidate was Maneka, a widow ofIndira's second born son Sanjay. Theelection was held and Raji'v got thepost.

Roughly speaking, Indira's assassina-tion was caused by religious conflictsbetween Hindu and Sikh. In India'slong history, religious confiicts havebeen causing a lot of assassinations andin this case, it was also caused by the Indira GaRdhi,obtained the 1966 to 1977 and again in R98e

with the United States and England Onthe othe} hand, India had been support-ed by the Soviet Union India's govern-ment had 1Åqept its policy mclined to the

Soviets and was mihtanly supportedThe Anti-allied pol!cy has been aban-doned. The first problem Ra]iv needs tosolve is how to arbitrate the religiousquarrel that has been takmg place smcethe assassination of India. At themournmg ceremony of Indira, Sikhsdeclared to attack the official mourner

from the Soviet Umon Some peoplesay that CIA had been mvolved m theassassmatlon.

India's involved problems, huge popu-lation and famme, economic-growth,religious problem, boundary dispute andso on, could only be solved when Indiasets itself as an Anti-allied nation andas a !eader of it. Certamly, India canlive from hand to mouth m unity withb!g countries but now Western nationsare declming their power. If India goesin hand with these declinmg nations,India will perish with them. Now, itis time of coming chance when Asia-Afncan nations can cut a figure m theworld. India should be and need to bea leader of the third world. One ofRajiv's most necessary duty is to change

utility policies into real mdependencepolicies for the third world This is theonly way to lead India to glory. India, possessmg many tnbes, vanouslanguages, a great population and largeland has been held together by thestrong leadership of the NhTu family,but even Indira Gandhi was forced toresort bnefly to what amounted tomartial law. Now, can India really begoverned effectively m a democraticsystem? Even the top leaders whowere competent and effective men mtheir pnme, could scarcely rule India.Can Rajiv who is said to be no one buta symbol of Nehru family's strengthreally govern India? When Indira tookoffice, she was thought to be inexpen-enced and naive but she turned out tobe strong, tough and clever enough tocontrol India. Now that RaJiv hasstarted to rule, the same is said abouthim. May Rajiv prove all the doubterswrong 1ike his mother has?

WASEDASTUDENT, SON STRtKE

-"IHY NO JV2- Waseda students struck agamst thepropsoed iaise m school tuition OnJanuary 17th "The Student Govern-ment of the Law Department" (5,580members) decided to go on strike Onthe 24th the Departments of Politics-Economics, Commercial Science, Edu-cation, Literature 2nd, also jomed thestrike. Other departments (Literaturelst, Social Science, except Engmeenng)soon followed mto the strike Therehad been no stnke at Waseda Umveisitysince 1979.

University's Statement Accordmg to the pamphlet publish-ed by the university m December lastyear, the last raise m the school tuition

was m 1979 and it had remamed un-changed smce [hen. But because ofrecent mflation and reduced nationalsubsidies the university is m seriousfinancial condition. The school alsosaid that they need more money foi theimprovement of educational facihtiesand various studies, funds for scholar-ships. and buymg books for the library.The planned raise m school tuition isabout 10a/o m the Education DeparVment (highest) and about 99o in averagein other departments And the univer-sity decided to accept the so-called"` Slide System" of tuition iaise which isgradual mcrease. They did not say any-thmg about the new campus m Tokoro-zawa but it is apparent that constructing

a new campus requires a lot of moneyAs they had said that the Tokorozawacampus would not cause an increase mtuition, it seems that they did not touchthis pomt.

Students' View The planned tuition raise will be ap-plied to freshmen entermg Waseda thissprmg It may seem strange that under-graduates staged a stnke, for they are

not diiectly concerned with the planHowever, students said that theyfought agamst the school on behalf ofthe freshmen because newcomers don'thave a chance to resist the pian them-selves. They thought it was unfaii tomake the decision before the freshmen

come ln.

Effeet of Strike

All the Departments (except Lawand Engmeering) decided to elimmatethe final exammations and msteadrequired students to wnte reports TheLaw Department wdl give the finalexam ination m April The stu dents whodid not have examinations had to sub-mit their reports in February and theyprepared for iheir reports much longerthan the usual test penod One studentm the Commercial Science Departmentsaid that he had to cancel plans to goskimg and other students also sa!d thatthey had to change the holiday's plan.So the reports turned out to be more ofa burden for student. It also was doubt-fu1 whether teachers could examme allthe reports carefully because they didnot have enough kme and amount ofthe reports was laiger than that of the

exams

Real Aim of the Strike Many students said that they did notexpect the stnke but they were delight-ed when they heard there would be noexams this year So the mam ieason foithe stnke may have been foi the stu-dents to avoid their exammationsBecause, though they were stnkmgagamst their umversity, all the students

had submitted their repoits m order toget good marks In addiUon, if theiewere no exams, there would be a higherpossibihty of semor's graduation. An-othei students explamed that there hadnot been a self-governmg organization mthe Department of Politics-Economics,so some of the students thought that itwas a chance to organize or strengthenstudent governments. It was reported that the collectivebargammg was calm compared withthat of the 1960's. It seemed thatstudents enjoyed participatmg some-thmg like "Student Movement" of thegood old days

January 26th, 1985, Masahisa Take-naka, the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi(Japan's largest cnminal syndicate), was

shot with two of his subordmates mSuita, Osaka Prefecture. He died in thePohce Hospital in Tennoji Ward on the28th The others, Katsumasa Naka-yarna, Yamaguchi-gumi's No. 2 rnan and

Tsutomu Mmami. the boss of theMinami-gumi (an affiliate ofYamaguchi-gumi) were shot to death on the spot.Pohce arrested Shuichi Nagano as oneof the suspects on the shooting. He isthe leader of the Doshin-kai, a crimmalsyndicate affihated with the Ichiwa-kai,

which is m rivalry with the Yamaguchi-.qumi. Pokce interrogators who have

been questionmg Nagano have quotedhim as saying that his squad made plansto kil1 Takenaka about half a year agoand had been looking fora chance smcelate last year. Police belteved Ichiwa-kai

planned the attack because Yamaguchi-gumi had been sowing dicord amongits member gangs ever since the Yama-guchi-gumi and the Ichiwa-kai separatedfrom each other in June last year.

What is the reason the Ichiwa-kaihave come t6 attack the Yamaguchi-gumi's leader and his lieutenants?

Takenaka became the fourth boss ofthe Yamaguchi-gumi last June, when ithad already passed three years sinceKazuo Taoka (the third boss of theYamaguchi-gumi) died of illness in1981 Taoka is notable in the worldof "YAKUZA" because he syndicatedthe Japanese gangsters for the first time.

He defeated rival groups one afteranother and had gained affiliates.

He was mighty and even charismatic.The Yamaguchi-gumi united under hispower. In his late years his 1ieutenant

was Keniclu Yamamoto. Yamamotohad a violent temper. When Taokawas shot by a member of the Matsuda-gumi m Kyoto Prefecture m 1978,he violently took repnsals against themThis is the so-called '`the Osaka WarII" K Yamamoto expected to succeedTaoka, but he died of illness in Feb-ruaiy, 1982. The Yamaguchi-gumi un-fortunately lost its leader and hissuccessor in a brief period of a half year.

The syndicate's top executives had acollective leadership system as emer-gency measures to mamtain order. Onthe other hand, the police consideredthe situation as an opportunity todestroy crimmal syndicates Someexecutives were ariested as a part ofthe

campaign. That is one of the factswhich delayed the decision of whowouid be the fourth boss.

In June, l984, the Yamaguchi-gumisaw the third anniveisary of Taoka'sdeath. This worked as atrigger forcon-cludmg the successor issue. The widow,Fumiko Taoka, recommended Takenakaas the fourth boss in Kazuo Taokaiswill. Accordmg to one who is at homewith the Yakuza business, she nominat-ed Takenaka because his temper remind-ed her of Kemchi Yamamoto, whom shehad faith in. On the other hand, Hiroshi

Yamamoto, who had been an actmgthird boss m the collective leadershipsystem, was displeased at the con-clusion and Shigemasa Kamota, whowas the boss of the Kamota-gumi,was also displeased because he had been

on bad terms with Takenaka. Sorneexecutives sided with H. Yamamoto andKamota and the Ichiwa-kai was organiz-ed. The spht shows us the peculiaritythat gangsters should die fortheir boss

ln an emergency.

After the spht, conflict with eachother did not come out m the open.But the Yamaguchi-gumi had forcedaffiliates of the Ichiwa-kai to give up

and to be absorbed into them. Forexample, the Ihara-gumi (at Amagasaki),

an affi1iate of the Yamahiro-gumi, wasforced to give up m January, 1985.Ichiwa-kai had been forced into a tightcorner. This is said to be a trigger for

shootmg Takenaka. We can iegard theshootmg as the Ichiwa-kai's gamble.

Editor

For Miss KAREN ONDERKO, 20,this is her second time in Japan. Shelived in Japan from l972 to 1976 onaccount of her father's posting here.Karen came back to Japan iast Septern-ber from Georgetown University inWashington D.C. where she majors inJapanese and minors in InternationalEconomy. Currently, she studies Japa-nese at the International Center ofKEIO. `tThe people are the best part ofJapan;' says Karen with a smile. It isevident that she has a positive attitudetoward being in a foreign land. t`Myfriends (in the U.S.) told mg that Iwould get a culture shock and that Iwould be so tired from it. But I really

don't have any problems." Whether itis celebrating Seijinshiki (Coming of Age

Day) at Meiji Shrine, going to Kago-shima during spring vacation, or even

getting lost by stepping off the trainat the wrong station, Karen truly seemsto be enjoying her stay in Japan.

Karen's overall impression of KEIOis also a good one. She is pleased withthe Japanese classes, 1ikes the "nicely

condensed, cozy campus" in Mita,and enjoys the company of her newfriends. However, she does wish tomake more Japanese friends. "This(making friends) is a difficult thinganywhere. It is always so hard to go upto someone to introduce yourself." Karen feels that one of the factorswhich makes it slower to establishfriendship, is the lack of fraternity life

at KEIO. "Because e.veryone iives athome, there is less chance for studentsto be together. So you cannot developa sense of commonalty. Whereas in theUnited States everyone ljves on andare almost always on campus." She alsoadds, "Most classes are too large atKEIO. The largest class I have atGeorgetown is made up ofonly 30 peo-plel'

The idea of meeting people spontane-ously is important to Karen. "I havemet some people through KOSMIC (agroup of KEIO students who offer helpto foreign students with daily affairsand study) but I felt that this way ofmeeting someone was too prearrangedor unnatural. It was a kind of thingwhere we would sit down at atable andsay, "Let's be friends." In this respect,

Karen misses the casuai socializing inpubs at Georgetown where practicallyall the students go on Saturday nights.However, Karen also has guilty feelings.

She feels that she may be spending toomuch time with her American friends. Karen points out our tendencies totreat the foreign student as a tourist,being a friend, does' not mean beingtreated as a guest. "Some people try tocater for us, but we are here to Iearn.People should not go out oftheir wayto make any special exceptions for us." As an example of this Karen recallsa questionnaire from the school libraryasking whether foreign students would

prefer having English signs put up inthe ]ibrary. "The signs are not neces-sary. We're here to learn Japanese;'she stresses. This may be a pointwhichmany Japanese will have to thiilk about. Speaking of attitudes of Japanesepeople, we asked Karen about how itfeels when she is "singled out" as aGaijin. Her reply was, `"We are different

and we do stand out. It doesn'tbotherme at all," Karen feels this kind ofattitude is natu}'al in a homogeneouscountry such as Japan. However, thisdoes not always hold true with allforeign students. Some are 'deeply con-

cerned about being "singled out."Karen explains that, generally speaking,there are two kinds of foreign students.The first kind accept the differencesbetween Japan and their home countryas something which should be taken forgranted, and are not bothered by it.The second kind not only will bebothered by the difference, but wil1always see them ,in a negative way.Karen definitely belongs to the firstkind, and most of the foreign studentsprob ably do too.

Karen sees many differences betweenGeorgetown Univ. and IÅqEIO, andoccasionally comes across situations in

which she cannot understand why acertain thing has to be the way. i't is.But she does not observe these differ-ences as something negative. She iscareful in not rnaking any hasty general-

izations. "I would never want to putanything down;' she says firmly.Karen's positive attitude, which issurely making her stay in Japan enjoy-able, may be summed up by herwords,"Compare two cultures, but don'tjudge them."

funtast With Antonio Gattdi is an architect whobecame familiar with the Japanesethrough a T. Pt commercial film and abiography film. His most popztlar andfamous work is the "Sagrada FamiliaChurch. " Tliis masterpieee was built in1883 and sttrprisingly, it is still ttnder

•'{.E 's

Sagrada Familia Chllrch (g883-- ) Antonio Gaudi was born in l852 andbrought up in Barcelona, the biggestcity of Catalonia district in Spain. Hisfather was a wrought iron craft workerso he was accustomed to architectualcraft. Even in his boyhood he designedfor the school weekly magazine orplanned the renovation of St. MariaChurch. While he was studying in anarchitecture college in Barcelona he won

many prizes in contests. When hedesigned a lecture hall as his graduation

task, his grade was "excellent," but theprincipal of the college said, ttl am not

sure whether I am gtving a designerlicense to a genius or a crazy person."

When he was 26, he sent a design fora certain labour union's clubhouse tothe Paris international exhibition. Itwas just a small work but excellent.0ne rich factory owner Eusebio GUellwas interested in Gaudi's genius and wasvery pleased with his work. Since thistime, for almost forty years Gaudi and

GUell had been close friends. GUellsupported Gaudi's genius and Gaudi

Lightconstructed GUell's fancy. Most of hisworks were commissioned by GUell'scooperation and GUell even commis-sioned his own house from Gaudi.

Catalonia district was a center ofliberalists and anarchists in 19th to 20th

centuries of Spanish history and roughlyspeaking, Gaudi could let his fancy playfreely and express it in such free air ofBarcelona. Biology-like and strange shapes ofhisarchitecture wil1 give you a strongimpression. If you feel that they are

something 1ike organism, you canfeel his intention in the right sequence.In anY case his architecture can easilyand deeply mdve one's mind as theyare strange enough.

A stairc`dse and a door of the

Casa Batllo . He loved Gothic architect and Atabicstyle ones, and was influenced by bothof them. In 1902 he was commissionedthe renovation of St. Mallorca Cathedral

which forrnally was a Catalan Gothicarchitecture. His study of Gothic andChristianity for this project was out-rageous. His hard and earnest fesearchof cathedrals led to the idea ofwarpingthe pillars and proved dynamic contra-diction of Gothic architecture. Forhim, Gothic style was structually toocomplex and decoratively disunited, andArabic style was too decolative, and notarchitectual enough. So, he adoptedmerits from both styles; structual tech-nique and architectural expression ofChristianity from Gothic styles and

method of lighting from Arabic styles,His main elements of designs wereconformation, shape, art, decoration,and lighting, and the sought their accor-dance. It is easily proved by pickingout one element from his architecturethat hjs arts are in accordance. If theSagrada Familia Church was not builtin Barcelona, it would have otherwiselacked the Mediterranean sun shine 'showing just a strange shaped building,being unable to impress us so deeply.Mediterranean sun gave his architecture

bright iight, moderate climate andthoughts; "beauty is shine of the truthand color fascinates everything," "anything ali've has color and it's not static.

Color is beautiful."

Gothic architecture usually gives usits conception of geometric structurewith sharply topped spire which exten'dsstraight up in the sky. However he tried

to harmonize the Gothic style with hisCatalan spirit based on religion andnature. He would watch mountains orobserve caves in Mallorca island.

For him, architecture was holly soany building in which men live had tobe holly thing. "An architect can buildfor people who work, marry, enjoy, andpray but an engineer build for anirnaland machine." "Even if an engineeruses same material and surrounding hewil1 not build a church."

architecture is said to be "surrealistic."

Certainly they look unreal but on thecontrary the "back to nature" spiritwas naturalism in itself. "Surrealistic"

things can never be seen in nature asthey are production ofan artists' fancy,It wil1 never be forgotten that Gaudi's

fancy was based on observation of

nature.

Casa Batllo ( 1905-- 07 ) Biological shapes were born from hisbelief in naturalism. Sometimes his

The interior of the chapel at Sagrada Familia

"The Sagrada Familia Church,"which is his most famous work, involvesmany religious symbols gathered frommany religious buildings. "Outside is ahuge mountain and inside is a largewood with full branched trees." "Awood was always a holly place wheremen fancied many legends." At thesame time he expressed Ch"ristian creedby its spires, sculptures, structure andeverything inside.

On June 7th, 1926, Antonio Gaudi,unfortunately died in a train accident at

the age of 74, and was buyied at tlieSagrada Familia Church by specialagreement of the Vatican. His last yearswere spent for construction of SagradaFamilia Church. He had no familyand always worked and slept in aroom under the floor of the cliurch.Gaudi's arts are eternal and especiallynow, their religious spirits should beconsidered in our present scientific

civilization. • "Man never ereates but discovers. "

As the conclusion, it can not bedone BioloRical scientists can readmformation from gene and can pick upDNA (or a body of gene), but so far thescientists can not exchange one anirrialto another.

In anotherwords, they may be able to re-createman's body. Then there exists a pomtof reconsideration "New Personal Right"(later explamed) Without this, the tech-nology will be out of man's reach, asit had been in the eugenics of the Nazis

this problem is well had m Europe1982, European Conference pubhshed arecommendation about biotechnoiogyThis recommendation says that babiesshould not be manipulated m genes,without specified treatments. Today,we can say only this kmd of recom-mendation, but if we can directlymanipulate the man's body m the fu-

ture, we should clear what the conceptof personal rights ofbaby is. As for thefuture, we should discuss this problem

now

Biotechnology is the best factor,when we discuss the relation betweenthe technology and man, the technologyand religion. So, it is necessary to make

a system which explains study of scien-tists to people. Science-wnter who arein another countries are necessary inJapan
