He plans to continue doing re- search when he returns to Ja- pan this summer. This is not Mr. Keto’s first Qisit to America.

He came again to participate in a conference on International Communica- tions at Stanford University. Mr. Kato is accompanied on this visit by his wife and his two children.

Mr. Kato is perhaps best gnown in Japan as an author. e is presently contributing a series of articles to a Japan- ese magazine similar to Time called ”Letters From a Small ‘American Community” The letters come from the fictitious town of Springfield, lowa, a ru- ral community of about 10,000 “Ir occurs to us that Chief Jur- tice Warrelt’rremark that thi people will not know in their life- time ihe meaning 0] Kennedy: assarxinali'olt, is earth's/en: with Mr. Warren's position about the meaning of the United States lel‘ll'tullonuCerminly 'w: shall not know dur- inghis lifetime lllltlztilmeattr.” For :1 ins copy cl it. email! in... ot NA‘ noun team, will. h. om. cr-s. lso I. 35 sh, N. v.

Optometrist Across from Post Office people, similar to Grinnell, which Mr. Kato constructed after talking to many Iowans with varied occupations and gathering an impression of what the average Iowa farm town would he like. Mr. Karo com- mented that the main difference that he noticed between Amer- ican and Japanese farms was the greater technological devel- opment here. Many Japanese farms are too small and hilly even to accommodate a tractor. 0f the books he has written the most recent is The History of Vis ual Communication; which discusses the develop- ment in Japan such non-verbal means of communication as pic- tures, architecture. folk singing, and dancing. He has also writ» ten a book called, The World of Eyes and Ears, in which he dis cusses such varied phenomena as comic books, pin ball ma- chines and how the American cocktail party compares to a Japanese tea party. In addition to teaching his- tory and sociology courses at Grinnell, Mr. Kato. who felt his students might like to study their subjects in the original language has organized a class in writing, reading and speak- ing Japanese, He hopes to leave his class with enough proficien- cy to be able to get along in the language in Japan. Mr, Kato’s home, Kyoto, was formerly the capital of Japan for 1000 years. There is no in- dustry there except handcrafts, and no agriculture. It remains ancient and traditional, retain- ing many of the customs tour- ists associate with Japan, such as tea ceremonies and flower arranging. Kyoto is an academ- ic center, the site of several col- leges and universities, Approx- imately 60,000 students make up one-sixth of its population. Mr. Kate said that it is only recently that the Japanese have adopted a Western system of education. He praised small liberal arts colleges like Grin- nell warmly, saying that they were leading the trend in influ- encing young people to seek real, meaningful goals instead of material advancement. Mr. Kato will speak on Japan- ese culture at 3 p.m., Saturday, in Younker lounge during Jap— anese Week, 6f coiiiss, It‘s for them. too. Foreign Study is for language Majors Only.
