The Delaware Agricultural Ex-

j. James Ashton, manager of the
Delaware Safety Council, talked
about another safety program at
the meeting-that of highway safe

Loose Moose vomooses

MISSOULA, Mont. II up - "A
moose is loose" was the startling
call police officer d. w. Runner
heard on his patrol car radio.
He tipped over to Blaine street
in the University district and found
a big bull moose snorting through
the neighborhood.
Runner gave chase and kept the
moose on the move down an alley
and across the Montana University
football field. The moose left town

Not all the Japanese with whom

a pleasure to do business with them.
There's Haruo Katsura who runs
a shoe repair shop on Roosevelt

his superior workmanship about
two years ago, I've never taken my

where else although there are ma

Katsura is accommodating; he always
does the little extra things like po-

he always has my work done on

definitely yes!

it for what is the truth. Ad-

mechanics in the world. as is so of
ten claimed, yes, then these boys
are adjusted.
My work brings me frequently in
to contact with the Seattle PTA.
One of the best PTA presidents I
know is Mrs. Paul Suzuki who is
held in high regard by many Seat
tleites for her longtime work in
the Seattle YWCA and other civic
causes. AS 1 write this, know that
Mrs Suzuki is planning one of the
most ambitious junior high .PTA
projects of the year and that she
will have the whole-hearted back

I'm sure I could name dozen
other persons of Japanese extrac-

When the editor of The North

write a short piece about the ad-
justment of Japanese Americans in
our postwar America, my imme-
date inclination was to say, mol
Have someone like Prof. Robert O.
Brien of the sociology department,
or Dr. Erna Gunther, head of the
anthropology department, or one
of our other University race rela-
tons experts, write that story"
But second thought made me glad
of the opportunity to say, in print,
how well adjusted I find many ia
panese friends and acquaintance
not necessarily those whom meet
through my press relations job at
the University, but the many with
whom I come in contact through
daily living.
First, I think of lovely Sunni Shi-
nozaki, Phi Beta Kappa from our
School of Journalism and once the
local president of Theta Sigma Phi,
national women's journalism fra
ternity. A gracious presiding Off
Ger and an efficient leader, she was
one of the best alumnae presidents
we ever have had. How many Of
us have wished you would return
some day to Seattle, Sunni, and join
us again for Theta Sigma Phi meet
ings.
And there is Sui Fukuyama,
graduate of the University's home

them, through skillful design and

I'm sure that no other dress de-
signer in Seattle could have manag-
ed to get a dress out of that one pair
of draperies-much less make one
that suits me so we'll. I'm sure, too
that Mrs. Raymond B. Allen, wife
of our University's former presi-
dent, who has two Sui creations
on the same order would corroborate
my high regard for Suzi's genius.

Nisei Coed 1852
Els IchikalUa Says:
Our Goal Is That of Bettering Ourselves
And, OF Course, Society as a Whole

b. somewhat a barrier.
Starting sorority of our own
would do little to solve the problem.
We will merely be another group
similar to the Jewish and Negro So
roritieS. In fact, we would proba-
bly, be worse off than now. 1t seems
then that sororities themselves do
not help assimilation. but assimila-
ton should result in our eligibility
to sororities. That should come
as an evolution rather than revo-
luton.
Time alone can ease out many
problem. The Sansei should have
a better chance, and the following
generation. a still better one. At
least. that is what We hope.
College life lasts only four years
for most of us. After that, what?
Whether It be marriage or ca
reer or both, the Nisei coed needs
to make certain goals.
Specifically. the goals are an in
dividual problem, but like all col
lege graduates, the Nisei should
have a sense of commitment to So
ciety
We cannot return 70 our small
world confined to the Japanese
community. or into the world OF
purely making a living. We need
to widen our horizons. As Nisei
women, how can we do this?
First. as college graduates and
Nisei. we cannot lose complete iden-
tity of our Japanese heritage. In
our efforts toward Americanization,
MANY of US tend to shy away from
anything that is japanese AS a
consequence. we lose much that Is
beautiful In the Japanese culture
its arts. its customs, its folk songs,
its dances. and its stories. Many
are want to feel these things are not
important because we are in the u
nited States
But the Caucasians will not think
so. They will expect us to know all
these things. How much better we
could serve society If we, with every
chance of learning these arts from
, our parents, could have them at oui
} fingertips
e Second and most important, VIZ
Y should remember that our goal does
< not end with helping ourselves anc
our own people If We did this
q we would be magnifying our owl
% problems to such an extent that w
c could not see others problems

we would automatically better our
G selves. BY working for society as

Els IchikatUo Says:

We are unique because we are Nj
sci. We are even more unique be-
cause we are women attending uni
versity. We are ridiculed and cri-
ticized. we are accused of bsing
chquish. narrow-minded, and OF
killing time" at school. We
are tbs Nisei goods
We we're told by pre-war gradu-
ates that we were a fortunate group
because professions and yoeations
are open to Nisei today. In those
days, they said. many girls took
courses at the University with no
thought of ever using that know
ledge to earn a living. Girls major
ed in English, in art. in music, or
perhaps in sociology, but they ne
yer expected to have job in their
particular field after being gradu
ated by the school.
Ths resistance to NiSei has not
disappeared completely, but we
know that it has improved consid-
erably. No, we do not think we're
wasting our time at school.
Accidentally, we stand second
to no one. but socially perhaps, we
need to take a more careful look. 1t
is true that many clubs and activi-
ties are open to us.
For instance, Phrateres. an indie
pendent Women'S organization at
the University of Washington, was
closed to Nisei previous to World
War II. A returning Phrateres a
lumnus expressed surprise when SHE
saw that Nisei girls were members
of Phrateres today, and that only
two years ago. a Nisei had been pre-
sident of the prominent organiza-
ton.
We have Nisei girls on the mem
bership list of many other campus
groups. This. however, is no rea
son to be complacent. Participa
ton can and should be increased
and improved.
We have been accused of bein
cliquish. Some girls have good rea
